How to find Polymer in Starfield: All methods explained

Polymer in Starfield is an Exotic Organic resource that you’ll need for crafting weapon mods, research projects and upgrading your ships. Here’s how and where you can get Polymer in Starfield.

Polymer is an Organic resource in Starfield which is listed as Exotic, meaning that it’s extremely hard to get. Unlike some other resources which can be harvested quite easily using Outposts, Polymer has to be found manually.

You need resources for almost everything in Starfield, like upgrading your ships and bases, creating mods for your weapons, and more. Polymer is used in many quests, crafting recipes, as well as research projects. Here’s where and how to find Polymer in Starfield.

Where to find Polymer in Starfield?

In Starfield, you can get Polymer from vendors, harvest them on Outposts, or scavenge them when exploring.

If you don’t want to spend any credits on Polymer, you can just harvest it. However, gathering a large amount of Polymer will take a long time. It’s an Organic resource, so you need to go to a planet with habitable life and scan the environment. After the scan is finished, you can loot Polymer from the flora and fauna.

You can also loot Polymer off of random NPCs you kill or find dead in Starfield. However, as an Exotic resource, Polymer won’t show up as frequently when scavenging. As such, this is the most inefficient method of finding the resource. You can also just add the item to your inventory with console commands, if you don’t mind cheating.

Best vendors to get Polymer in Starfield

The fastest way to get Polymer in Starfield is to buy it from vendors. Thankfully, it’s a cheap resource, as a single unit will cost you around 20 Credits. As long as you’re not short on Credits, you should buy it in bulk whenever you find a vendor selling it. Here are all the vendors who sell Polymer in Starfield:

• Jemison Mercantile (New Atlantis)
• Shepherd’s General Store (Akila City)
• Newill’s Goods (Neon)
• Dietrich Sieghart (Neon)
• Jane’s Goods in (Cydonia)
