One of the many resources you are able to farm on different planets in Starfield is Vanadium, an element found in nearly every weapon mod recipe that can give some of the best improvements to your guns. While this Rare Tier 2 mineral is found at several shops around the galaxy, it is always far better to harvest this resource on your own. The right Outpost placed on a world with Vanadium could grant you plenty of this material.

The four weapon mods that use Vanadium are the Recon Laser Sight, Medium Scope, Holographic Sight and Foregrip with Laser Sight. The Recon Laser Sight and Foregrip Sight both mark enemies while aiming with improvements to your weapon's accuracy. Meanwhile, the Medium Scope gives a 4x magnified view from a weapon, while the Holographic Sight offers a new view for better target visibility in Starfield.

Every Planet for Farming Vanadium in Starfield

Starfield Flying Ship to Alpha Centauri System Planet for Farming Every Resource on World Such as Vanadium

Before you can even start thinking about weapon attachments in Starfield, you must first travel to one of the 64 planets or moons that contain Vanadium on their surface. A Resource Extractor structure built onto an Outpost can allow you to harvest Vanadium even when you aren't in the same system. If you are simply collecting this material to sell it for Credits at various vendors, you need to explore the right systems first.
