Starfield: Finding the Mars Opportunity Rover Snow Globe

Quick Links

Among the several commemorative snow globes in Starfield, the Mars Opportunity Rover is one of the snazziest to peer upon. It also represents something important within our own history of space travel. This is the kind of touch Bethesda gives to Starfield that make it work so well not just as a game, but as an occasional window into the past.

The planetary location of the Mars Opportunity Snow Globe won’t surprise you, but how you’ll get the coordinates to it might.

From Earth To Mars

You’ll not be able to get the coordinates for the Mars Opportunity Rover until you can visit a certain spot on Earth. Wait, what? Yes, it’s true. It may sound counterintuitive that you must wait until you can visit a late-game location before you can find something on a planet you can explore early on, but there’s a reasonable explanation for this.

The main storyline will eventually send you to the NASA Launch Tower. It’s like the game is saying, “Hey, before you go off to Mars, let’s have a little detour first.” Trust me, it’s worth it. When you get there, you’ll pass through an office with the NASA Snow Globe. Boom, one down already. But here’s the catch: you need to learn where the Mars Opportunity Rover landed, and where else would you find that information other than NASA? Of course, NASA would have the details!

Once you’re at NASA, make sure to check out the MER Program exhibit. It’s filled with cool stuff, but pay attention to the stand next to the Rover mock-up. It has the information you need to head back to Mars and find that precious snow globe. So hop in your spacecraft, land at the newly available site, admire the stunning view of the Mars Opportunity Rover, and don’t forget to grab that Snow Globe from the top. Oh, and please, for the love of gaming deities, don’t you dare sell it!
