How to unlock the Elemental Pull Power in Starfield

In Starfield, you need to unlock the power mechanic first before you obtain other powers. To do so, you have to complete the 'Into the Unknown' mission, which will be available to you after completing the 'The Old Neighborhood' mission. In this mission, you are tasked to join any of the three Constellation members on their journey to obtain an artifact piece from a temple.

You can follow this in-depth guide for the Into the Unknown mission. After finishing this quest, you will unlock the Anti-Gravity Field power, your first power in Starfield.

After gaining access to your first power, you can unlock more powers in the same manner. Collect an artifact, locate a temple, and then capture the glowing lights in the rotating structure. Use your boost pack to propel forward, as these lights move faster when you approach them.

Starfield Elemental Pull power effect and cost

The in-game description of the Elemental Pull reads:

"Blasts inorganic resources in an area around you and pulls them towards you."

For 25 cost, this power allows you to essentially mine resources instantly. You simply have to blast an area and use it to attract resources toward you.

You can unlock a single level of Elemental Pull during one playthrough. However, its power can only be upgraded from New Game Plus onwards. To enhance Elemental Pull, you have to collect the power again from Temple Psi. Each time you acquire it during a New Game Plus playthrough, you get a stronger version of the power. You can do this up to ten times for any power in Starfield.
