On The Run Bug Fixes and Walkthrough

Starfield - On the Run Bug Fixes and Walkthrough

On The Run is a faction quest under the Freestar Collective in Starfield. Learn how to fix the Red Mile Bug, kill or negotiate with Marco, and find out if you can steal his ship!

On The Run Bug Fixes

Cannot Land on Red Mille in Porrima III

There is a common bug where players can't land on Red Mile in Porrima III during this quest. It causes it to become unplayable.

Travel to a Different Planet in the Same Star System

You can fix this bug by going to a different planet in the same system. Save and then quit so the planets and landing spots will reload properly when you get back. After that, fast travel to Porrima III without using the Star Map on the menu, and you should be able to interact with Red Mile.

Starfield - Talk to Autumn Macmillan

Make your way towards the bar and speak to Autumn Macmillan. She will help you look for Marco through one of her contacts named Jade.

After she briefs you on the details of the meetup, follow Autumn to her contact who is seated at one of the tables in the bar.

4-5. Meet with Autumn's Contact

Starfield - Meet With Autumn

Take a seat at the table. Jade will explain that Mei Divine can arrange a meeting between you and Marco, but you'll have to do Mei a favor first before that could happen.

6-7. Talk to Mei Devine

Starfield - Talk to Mei Devine

Approach Mei Devine near the bar and speak with her. Tell her you're looking for Marco and she'll agree to make an arrangement for a meeting on the condition that you run the Red Mile.

Once you accept, she'll introduce you to all the patrons who are willing to place bets on your survival in the challenge. Enter through the Red Mile door and take the elevator to where the challenge begins.

8. Activate the Red Mile Beacon

Starfield - Activate the Beacon at the Tower

Prepare to run the Red Mile. You will have to sprint across a canyon occupied with creatures and other dangerous inhabitants. At the end of the Red Mile, activate the beacon at the base of the tower then return to the starting point safely to complete your run.

Remember, you can bring your weapons with you throughout the whole course so be sure to use them against the enemies that will be attacking you.

9-10. Talk to Mei Devine

Starfield - Return to Mei Devine

Return to Mei Devine and she'll keep her end of the bargain by arranging a meeting with Marco for you.

After this, go back to the table where Autumn Macmillan is seated and tell her that you've successfully made arrangements to meet Marco.

11-13. Go to Codos

Starfield - Marco

Talk to Mei Devine again in her office and she'll tell you that you can find Marco aboard his ship on Codos in the Cheyenne star system. Once you've arrived, board Marco's ship which can be found right beside the landing pad.

14. Confront Marco

Starfield - Confront Marco

Once inside, proceed to the second floor of the lounge area, then speak to Marco. You'll be given a choice to kill Marco in order to loot the Encrypted Slate from him, or you can simply just spare his life which leads him to surrender the slate to you in return.

The latter may be the easier option as you'll avoid having to deal with his guards onboard his vessel.

15. Give the Encrypted Slate to Alex Shadid

Starfield - Give the Encrypted Slate to Ranger Alex

Return to the Freestar Ranger HQ in The Rock at Akila City and give the slate to Alex Shadid.

Should You Kill or Negotiate with Marco?

Killing Marco

Killing Marco would make all the guards and turrets become hostile towards you. If you're going for this option, make sure to prepare beforehand to win easily against them.

You can loot his body to get a bunch of items, including Credits, Weapons, his Keycard, and the Encrypted Slate! The weapons and credits you can get from Marco's body will vary from player to player.

Negotiating with Marco

Starfield - On The Run - Negotiate with Marco
Negotiating with Marco will end the conversation peacefully, but you would still get the slate from him. If you have a companion with you, they would most likely disagree with this decision and slightly affect your affinity with them.

Can You Steal Marco's Ship?

No, Marco's Ship Cannot be Stolen

No matter how you deal with Marco, you won't be able to get his ship and use it for your own. You can still steal all his items in the ship if you want, but it will lead to combat if you get caught.
