One of the neat things about Starfield is that you can spend your time doing so many different things, from smuggling illicit goods, to helping the less fortunate, to scavenging for supplies in forgotten outposts. Compared to some of those activities, crafting and research might not seem all that exciting. But there is a certain satisfaction that comes from producing amazing items and equipment. You just need to find the necessary components, and one of the ones you might need especially often is Zero Wire. Here is our guide telling you where to find Zero Wire in Starfield.
Starfield – where to find Zero Wire
When you research Outpost Development, Equipment, and Weaponry and start crafting weapon and spacesuit mods, you’ll find you have an immediate need for Zero Wire. However, it’s not always easy to remember which merchants sell the component. Fortunately, you can find Zero Wire offered by numerous vendors throughout the galaxy.

Near the start of the game, the best place to look for Zero Wire is in New Atlantis. If you travel there and head to the Commercial District, you should easily be able to spot the Outland building. It has a large logo on its side that is hard to miss. You will find it not far from the UC Distribution Center, which also carries a variety of useful goods.

The Zero Wire isn’t especially cheap. However, you can decrease its cost if you have the Commerce skill unlocked (see the lower price reflected in the above screenshot). A bigger problem is that carrying around too much wire might contribute toward your character becoming encumbered. However, we have a guide telling you how to fix encumbered, if you find yourself running into that particular issue.
You can find the Zero Wire in other locations around the galaxy. Whenever you find a Civilian Outpost, look for a vendor. They may sell that item, and many useful others of a similar nature. When you explore outside abandoned outposts, check debris along the benches. I have sometimes found Zero Wire sitting among other less interesting supplies. Remember that every merchant offers slightly different wares. Their stock may change over time, as well. Once you buy out a useful item from a merchant, rest up a bit and give them a chance to restock before you visit again.
On a final note, you can also combine Silver and Copper at an Industrial Workbench to produce Zero Wire yourself, if you have the resources. That’s handy!
Starfield is available to purchase on Steam and the Microsoft Store.
