Posted on September 19, 2023

War is brewing between two gangs in Neon and it is up to you to settle thing down in The Audition side mission in Starfield.

“The Audition serves as a secondary mission within the Starfield universe, immersing players in a scenario where they can play a pivotal role in resolving the ongoing feud between two formidable factions: The Strikers and The Disciples.

Disagreements and conflicts of interest have been known to ignite wars, often causing undue suffering to innocent bystanders who become unintended casualties in the process. In this particular case, the situation bears a striking resemblance.

Putting an end to this conflict from an external perspective may present slim chances of success, necessitating a more covert approach. In our forthcoming guide, we will delve into the details of how to undertake this infiltration mission and discuss its potential impact on the overarching cause.”

How to unlock The Audition mission

Participating in this side mission doesn’t require any prerequisites apart from the necessity of visiting the Neon Planet within the Volii Alpha Star System.

This particular planet has earned notoriety for its prevalence of criminal activities throughout the Settled Systems and is also the primary setting for numerous missions within the Ryujin Industries questline.

To initiate the quest, your objective is to locate an individual named Digger Zemin. The most common place to encounter him is situated outside Madame Sauvage’s, a well-known nightclub in Neon notorious for harboring criminals.

Zemin will acquaint you with the ongoing conflict between two rival gangs, which has significantly worsened the already dire circumstances for the planet’s residents.

If you decide to offer your assistance, the quest will officially commence. It’s worth noting that he may request monetary support, but only after providing you with crucial information.

How to complete The Audition in Starfield

Here is what you need to do to complete The Audition side quest in Starfield.

Get recruited by the Strikers

The initial step in addressing the gang war predicament involves securing a spot within one of these factions. Joining the notorious Disciples is virtually impossible, given their troublesome reputation. Your more viable option is to align yourself with the older and relatively rational group known as the Strikers.

After you’ve gathered vital information from Digger, venture into the club where you’ll encounter Andrea Sandoval, the Strikers’ Lieutenant, positioned near the bar. Engage her in conversation, and she will provide further insights into the ongoing conflict between the two rival gangs.

Feel free to inquire about the Disciples and express your desire to meet her boss, Briggs, who leads the Strikers. Initially, Andrea may hesitate, but eventually, she will acquiesce. Ascend to the club’s upper floor, where you will encounter Briggs.

Engage in dialogue with him and endeavor to persuade him to grant you membership within the gang. Having the Neon Street Rat Perk can certainly facilitate this process, but you can still achieve your goal without it. Once he agrees, he will assign you a task to demonstrate your merit.

Steal the Data Slate from Warehouse 02

An unidentified source is providing the Disciples with high-caliber military weaponry, and your mission is to unveil their supplier. To accomplish this objective, your task involves infiltrating warehouse 02, which serves as the clandestine repository for the Disciples’ firearms.

Simply follow the mission marker, and you’ll reach the warehouse promptly. At this juncture, you’re presented with two distinct approaches: the covert, stealthy route or the more aggressive, guns-blazing alternative.

Option 1 – Sneak past the guards

If you have invested some points towards Stealth then you will be able to sneak past the guards inside the building.

There should be one right in front of the entrance, one to the right on the platform, and another one on the lower level. Sneak past all of them and steal the data slate without getting noticed.

Option 2 – Eliminate everyone

If stealth doesn’t align with your preferred approach, you have the option to charge in with guns blazing, dispatching all the Disciples occupying the premises.

Retrieve the data slate and make a swift exit. This should prove relatively straightforward if your character is adequately leveled, as the adversaries within the building don’t pose a significant threat.

Return the Slate to Briggs

Head back to Madame Sauvage’s and seek out Briggs. Present him with the data slate, and he’ll be astonished that you managed to secure it single-handedly.

Your impressive feat will earn his respect, leading him to extend an invitation for you to join the Strikers. With this, you’ll successfully conclude The Audition side mission in Starfield.
