Is their a hot key to use fists? or a way to favorite fists/fight unarmed?

[Jamie]

is there a hot key or a way to fight unarmmed? do you you have to manually go into inventory each time and unequip your weapon to use your fists?

[Clail]

Typically hitting the hotkey of the weapon you have equipped will unequip it in Bethesda games, but I haven't tried it yet with starfield.

no it is not, thats Scanner and Flashlight. Im talking about unarmed with no weapon. So you can use your fists to punch.

I remember the same, but in starfield it does not do this.
The only way to go unarmed is to quite literally go into inventory and unequip whatever you're using now.

Locate \My Games\Starfield\ folder in your user's "Documents" folder
Inside should be "StarfieldCustom.ini" file, add to it next section:

[Menu]
bUseConsoleHotkeys=1
sConsoleINI=StarfieldConsole.ini

Create "StarfieldConsole.ini" text file next to it, and add next section:

[Hotkeys]
Shift-F=player.cf "Actor.EquipItem" 1F4 0 1

Now you can "equip" fists with "Shift-F" hotkey.
Replace hotkey for something you like.

Now you can Fistfight without going to inventory or using mods.
And that is actually the way to add any hotkeys missing in default game options without mods.

Note: Doing so didn't disable achievements for me,

pressing (V) will do a melee attack if you're holding a weapon

I actually suggested a while back on their form for suggestions to allow completely un-equipping a weapon (being unarmed) by using the Q key. Hopefully it gets to them and doesn’t get lost in there.

This is currently impossible.

There is a hotkey to holster your weapon, but the moment you pull the trigger your current weapon will be used not your fists.

There is no hotkey for unequip weapon.

The only way to unequip and use your fists is to go into the menu system, go into weapons, and deselect your weapon.

This is of course ridiculous and breaks immersion.

To make matters worse it's not like unarmed strikes are meant to be irrelevant in Starfield because there are various skills/perks that deal with unarmed strikes.

Considering about 5% - 8% of all the skills available are based on levelling up your fist fighting ability, you'd think that the testers who played Starfield for thousands of hours would have revealed this issue (of no easy way to switch to fist fighting as easy as changing your weapon.)

I can't imagine game testers going into the menu then weapons menu and then unequip a weapon when testing these skills/perks.

The obvious answer to this is that Bethesda never hired any game testers, which also goes a long way to explaining Starfields massive big issue. Example the bugs that I have to live with currently:

1: ship stats especially shield are broken due to developers inability to add numbers correctly
2: skill rejuvenation level 3/4 healing during combat is broken due to developer multiplying your healing factor by zero
3: eventually all enemy ships that land will no longer have people on board ruining the game further
4. Self clear bounty system is broken, I get attacked by UC even after clearing all outstanding bounties on my character
5. Inter system outpost cargo links always fail within a few hours of setting up correctly

My recommendations to Bethesda:

1. hire developers with an understanding of addition, subtraction, division and multiplication
2. Hire game testers to actually play the game and when they highlight issues, have your team change the game to eliminate these issues.

For anybody curious, this worked like a charm. I personally changed the hotkey, but it worked like a charm. Remember that it will need to be a configuration file (.ini), not a '.txt' notepad file.

Huge cheers to Keyesty!
