Answered"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Towards the end of the main storyline in Starfield, you&#8217;ll be faced with a whole host of tough decisions. They&#8217;re especially tough because they&#8217;re all valid choices, and it&#8217;s hard to determine which is best for you. If you&#8217;re wondering <strong>whether you should side with The Emissary or The Hunter in Starfield<\/strong>, here&#8217;s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Happens If You Choose The Emissary in Starfield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After exploring the NASA base on <a href=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/starfield\/what-happened-to-earth-in-starfield-answered-spoilers\/\">Earth<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/starfield\/starfield-review\/\">Starfield<\/a>, both The Emissary and The Hunter will ask to speak with you and force you to make a choice. To side with The Emissary, pick the following dialogue option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Emissary is right. The artifacts need to be in the right hands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose The Emissary, they&#8217;ll show up to help you fight off other enemy ships in space, and also in the final mission, where they&#8217;ll help you defeat The Hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After defeating The Hunter, you&#8217;ll get the Unmitigated Violence laser rifle with the following stats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Base Damage: 125 ENGY<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mag: 50<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fire Rate: 33<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Range: 523<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accuracy: 77%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frenzy: Small chance to frenzy a target.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Radioactive: Randomly deals radioactive damage and demoralizes the target.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Instigating: Deals double damage to targets with full health.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Happens If You Choose The Hunter in Starfield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flipside, choosing The Hunter requires you to pick the following dialogue option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Hunter is right. The only real rule is who gets all the Artifacts first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing The Hunter will open up a new mission objective for you where he asks you to kill Keeper Aquilus before the final mission. You can handle this in one of two ways: by actually killing him, or convinving him to go into hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, The Hunter will also aid you in the final battle against The Emissary. In addition to that, you&#8217;ll get the Eternity&#8217;s Gate particle beam rifle with the following stats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Base Damage: 17 PHYS, 50 ENGY<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mag: 20<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fire Rate: 25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Range: 60<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accuracy: 81.6%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Handloading: Volatile rounds that are designed to pack a bigger punch, but aren&#8217;t as stable and can fail on occasion.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Happens If You Don&#8217;t Pick Either One?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Starfield-27_8_2023-9_21_17-PM.jpg?resize=640%2C268\" alt=\"emissary or hunter in starfield\" class=\"wp-image-981476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Starfield-27_8_2023-9_21_17-PM.jpg?resize=640%2C268?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Starfield-27_8_2023-9_21_17-PM.jpg?resize=640%2C268?w=600 600w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Starfield-27_8_2023-9_21_17-PM.jpg?resize=640%2C268?w=80 80w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Starfield-27_8_2023-9_21_17-PM.jpg?resize=640%2C268?w=650 650w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Starfield-27_8_2023-9_21_17-PM.jpg?resize=640%2C268?w=150 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Source: Bethesda via Twinfinite<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it is also possible to deny both The Emissary and The Hunter. Doing so will cause both of them to join forces against you in the final mission, making for a much tougher boss fight. However, if you choose to go your own way, you&#8217;ll be able to get both legendary weapons instead of just the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-which-should-you-pick\">Which Should You Pick?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We recommend not picking The Emissary or The Hunter, and choosing to forge your own path instead<\/strong>. Not only does this make for a more satisfying ending, you also get to grab both legendary weapons instead of having to pick one or the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to that, while the two beings will join forces against you, the boss fight isn&#8217;t insurmountable and can still be managed fairly easily as long as you&#8217;ve leveled up enough. Because of that, we&#8217;d recommend choosing to reject both of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s all you need to know about <strong>choosing The Emissary or The Hunter in Starfield<\/strong>.
