Welcome to our guide for the First to Fight, First to Die mission in Starfield! First to Fight, First to Die is one of the faction missions you’ll have to complete during the Freestar Collective questline. You’ll start it automatically after you complete the On the Run Freestar Collective faction mission.
Go to the Meeting Room
Make your way to the meeting room on the same floor as Alex Shadid and take a seat next to the Marshal.
Emma will give you an update on other farms and Daniel will go over your progress so far. Toward the end of the conversation, Alex will bust in saying he got a lead. Daniel will then give us our next destination.
Travel to Arcturus II
Head back to your ship and plot a course for Arcturus II in the Arcturus System. Upon reaching orbit, you’ll be attacked by two of The First F ships. After you take care of them, two more show then two more again for a total of 6 enemy ships you’ll have to shoot down. Once they are all taken care of, you’ll be free to land at the Freestar Mech Factory.
Confront Paxton Hull
After landing your ship, follow the path up to the factory, but keep your scanner handy as the way is littered with mines. When you reach the doors, Paxton will talk to you via intercom. When he’s done, you’ll be free to head inside and confront the major.
Freestar Mech Factory
In this first section of the factory, as you approach the door, you’ll be jumped by the First. Take care of them then travel through the smelting area.
Mech Factory – Smelting
In smelting, you’ll have to work your way down the hallway, again fighting more of the First. At the other end, there will be a control room overlooking the smelter. Cross through the smelter room dealing with the First and their turrets along the way. On the other side, head through the door leading to the assembly.
Mech Factory – Assembly
Just as in the previous room, keep working your way deeper into the factory while dealing with the onslaught of the First. When you reach the end of the assembly, you’ll finally arrive at the Command Center.
Mech Factory – Command Center
Head up the stairs then go through the first door on the left. This is an ammo room with weapons and ammo where you can stock up a bit. Proceed down the hallway, up the ramp and through the doors to finally reach the major with the rest of his men. Time to show them the full might of the Rangers! After you take down Paxton and his men, go talk to him. You’ll finally learn who hired him to take over the farms and he’ll even give you evidence to back it up… before he comes at you one last time. You’ll need to put him down for good. Loot him to get the Elevator Exit Key and blow this taco stand. The First to Fight, First to Die mission will then complete!
