How to remove your bounty in Starfield

Evading the space cops in Starfield can be difficult if you don’t clear your bounty. Here’s how to remove your bounty, including where to pay it off, how much it costs, and if you can remove it without paying.

While exploring Starfield, you’re free to carve your own path, but some choices such as selling Contraband or smuggling items might bring you unwanted legal attention. If you’re caught, there’s a price to pay for freedom.

If you do, bounties will be placed on your head. Naturally, however, if you act outside the law, you can expect some punishment. While there’s not exactly a wanted-level system like in GTA, the more criminal activities you engage in, the worse the repercussions.

So if you’re committed to the life of crime, or you just accidentally tapped your trigger in public, here’s how to remove your bounty in Starfield.

You can clear your bounty in Starfield without paying if you don’t mind a little jail time. If you surrender to the guards, you will have the choice to go to jail.

If you accept going to jail, expect any stolen items and contraband to be confiscated. Some time will pass, but you will keep all your credits and your bounty will be cleared.

You will, however, incur an XP penalty for serving time. So make sure you choose wisely whether you want to spend credits or XP. There is no other way to clear your bounty in Starfield without paying credits.
