The orange juice inStarfieldwill debuff a player’s health while raising the Oxygen stat for a longer duration. Since more details aboutStarfieldwere confirmed during the Starfield Direct on June 11, players have more of an idea of theupcoming Bethesda title, including a strange aspect of the orange juice.
WithStarfieldset to release on September 6, Todd Howard and Bethesda have revealed aspects of the space-faring game like starship building, a conversation system, and combat. Bethesda games likeSkyrimandFallout 4have included various consumable items that provide health, buffs, and resistances, in addition to having their own debuffs like one that fans have spotted inStarfield.Starfieldwill apparently follow this concept of adding buffs and debuffs to food and drinks, but items like orange juice may not do what players could expect.

Reddit user Protato20 recently shared an image from what appears to be aStarfieldmenu that gives players a glimpse at one of the in-game consumables and what it does. The screenshot highlights the “orange juice of transcendence” which may be a special version of theStarfielddrink as it has multiple effects in addition to the specific name. While the orange juice of transcendence offers +8 O2 for five minutes, it will reduce a player’s health per second by one point for a minute, leaving the buff lasting much longer than the debuff.
Because past consumables in Bethesda games likeFallout 4RadAway and various potions ofSkyrimhave provided players with buffs, it’s likely that other consumables could pair with the orange juice. Beyond the benefits and potential drawbacks of using thisStarfieldconsumable item, it weighs 0.3 in mass and has a value of 75 at the vendors that will purchase things from players. Bethesda also offers a potential lore detail with this orange juice, with text suggesting that it’s the “most refreshing” juice in the Settled Systems. Given thatStarfieldis aspace-based Bethesda RPG, the special oxygen boost from this orange juice may end up being more beneficial than standard health points.
While the orange juice of transcendence has a debuff forStarfieldhealth points, it may be worth it for the oxygen increase when paired with other consumables or skills that could offset the losses. Given thatthe StarfieldDirectdidn’t delve into oxygen usage versus the importance of health, it’s currently unclear if this orange juice is worthy of its value.
Starfieldreleases for PC and Xbox Series X/S on September 6.
