How to Remove Your Bounty in Starfield

Avoiding the space police in Starfield can prove challenging if you fail to clear your bounty. This guide will explain how to eliminate your bounty, including the location to pay it off, the associated cost, and whether it can be removed without payment.

While navigating through Starfield, you have the freedom to forge your own path. However, certain decisions, such as selling illegal items or participating in smuggling, may result in unwanted legal consequences. If caught, you must face the consequences in exchange for your freedom.
