Should You Kill Shaw?

You Should Attempt the Persuasion

Starfield - Should You Kill Shaw Persuasion Attack

It's not worth spending 4,000 credits to avoid conflict with Shaw's gang, especially since they'll also be distracted fighting off the Ashtas. You should attempt the Persuasion for the chance of teaming up without paying any credits.

If you fail the Persuasion, you will have to kill Shaw. However, if you pass the Persuasion, you can help Shaw eliminate the Ashta. Afterwhich, she'll give you a weapon and some ammo.
