Top Picks - what are the best drill bits for drilling metal

It's likely you've already picked up a Cutter during the One Small Step main story quest during early game. However, should you ever need a new Cutter for any reason, you can generally find them in Cutter Crates and on Miner Corpses in Mining Complexes at Abandoned Mines. These mines can spawn randomly on the surface of planets and moons and may require a bit of luck to track one down, but you're bound to run into them while exploring points of interest that show a Drill Icon when using your scanner.

The Cutter's primary use is Gathering Inorganic Resources, which is essential if you'd like to research mods and recipes at a Research Lab, install powerful mods at a Weapon Workbench, construct your Outposts, and more. With the Cutter, you can gather many types of minerals, from common iron to exotic legendary inorganic resources.

The Cutter is an industrial mining tool that uses a laser to gather inorganic resources from the surface of planets and moons in Starfield. The Cutter can be found by searching Cutter Crates in Mining Complexes or shopping at Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis. Learn more about where to find Cutter and its uses with this handy Starfield weapon guide.

While primarily used for gathering inorganic resources, the Cutter has 4 base energy damage and infinite ammo and can become slightly more potent in close-quarters combat with the Lasers Skill, Heavy Weapons Skill, Targeting Skill, and Crippling Skill.
