Navigating Starfield’s universe means relying heavily on your spacesuit, but it’s not uncommon to face ‘Suit Protection Depleted’ warnings. This guide will help you resolve that.

Your spacesuit in Starfield isn’t just for show; it’s a necessary gear to protect you from the harsh realities of space, such as intense radiation and hostile atmospheric conditions. Keeping it functional is vital for your exploration in the game.

Your spacesuit is your ultimate armor in Starfield. It is the suit that protects you from everything in the game including harmful radiation, rough atmosphere, and adverse environments that your skin and bones cannot deal with.

However, there are times when the spacesuit gets exposed to too much of the harsh weather and its protective covering is depleted. In such cases, you will receive a message saying “Suit Protection Depleted”.

Once that happens you are exposed to the harmful radiation and cosmic rays. Here is a guide on how to fix this problem.

Guide to fix Suit Protection Depleted in Starfield

To fix the Suit Protection Depleted debuff, all you need to do is go to some shelter such as your ship or your house and stay there for some time. Eventually, the debuff will be gone and the problem will be solved.

However, while the solution is easy, it is important that you remove this debuff as soon as possible. This is because, once your suit’s protection is gone, you will be subjected to status effects in the game. These status effects need to be cured with medicines that you can obtain from a medicinal shop.

Lastly, we should mention here that your spacesuit can be made better by adding mods to it. It is important you keep improving your suit, as environmental hazards can be a real problem in the game.
