How to get Metabolic Agent in Starfield

There will come a time in Starfield when you run out of that common crafting material and you won’t know how to get it since you just always had it. Metabolic Agent is a prime example of this.

I grew accustomed to seeing Metabolic Agents stacking up in my inventory, and I got rid of some during a quest to free up space. But it wasn’t long enough until I started noticing Metabolic Agent as a crafting requirement in the Pharmaceutical Lab in Starfield, and I suddenly couldn’t figure out where to find more.

Thankfully, I figured it out so that you don’t have to.

Where to get Metabolic Agent in Starfield

You can buy Metabolic Agent from vendors or farm it off creatures in Starfield. If you’re out of Metabolic Agent and have credits to spare, I recommend buying Metabolic Agent from vendors to save time. Following your purchase, you can make it a habit to take down a few creatures and loot them when you land on a planet to ensure you never run out of Metabolic Agent. Based on the creatures you’re slaying, the crafting material will look different, but it’ll serve the same purpose.

What vendors sell Metabolic Agent?

The following vendors in Starfield have Metabolic Agent in their inventories:

1. Wen Tseng — UC Distribution Center, New Atlantis, Jemison
2. Dietrich Sieghart — Sieghart Outfitters, Neon, Volii Alpha.
3. James Newill — Neon, Volii Alpha.

What is Metabolic Agent used to craft in Starfield?

Throughout my space adventures, I used Metabolic Agent to craft AMP, Injector, Penicillin X, and Snake Oil. You can use a Pharmaceutical Lab to craft these items, and I generally use the one located at The Lodge. If you have the required materials, you’ll only need to press the craft button and your Metabolic Agent will turn into an item that can heal you.

Considering you’ll get to discover new items and recipes all the time in Starfield, Metabolic Agent is likely to appear as a crafting material for other items as well.
