Starfield Guides - Why Is the Arbitrator Achievement So Cold-Blooded?

Today, on Starfield Essentials, I share how to complete a Free Lanes achievement that almost no one has finished.

It's the Contract tasking that the player performs on behalf of the Arbitrator.

This is the most cold-blooded achievement in Starfield, but I don't think it had to be that way! What happened?

00:02:12 Sparing the victims

00:03:12 Eliminating the victims

00:03:53 Why is Bethesda so cold-blooded?

00:05:57 Conclusion

00:07:04 Thank yous

If anyone has questions on unlocking the Arbitrator achievement in Free Lanes

I can confirm that, unfortunately, you have to eliminate the target.

I tried doing more than 10 "talk nicely to the NPC and take their ID card" missions and I did not unlock the achievement.

I then did 10 "eliminate the target" missions and the achievement unlocked as soon as I eliminated the 10th target. I didn't even have to turn in the ID to the Arbitrator to qualify for the achievement.

It cost 7-8 mil credits plus resources, but I crafted my dream gear and weapons, all vanilla play, no mods

I took advantage of the new X-Tech crafting system and legendary re-rolling to build my dream gear and weapons.

This is on Xbox for PC without any Creations. It's my OG character from game release in September 2023.

I've upgraded the QED and plan to take it all to my next universe. Thanks Bethesda for giving players a way to spend all those credits!
