You can head to any spaceport with a Ship Technician but New Atlantis is as good as any, as you’re almost guaranteed to have visited it before. Select the ‘New Atlantis’ waypoint and the technician will be right in front of you underneath the Ship Services Sign.

Simply select the “I’d like to purchase a vehicle” dialogue option when talking to the Ship Technician and you’ll have the option to buy the REV-8.

How to use REV-8 in Starfield
The left stick or directional keys completely control the REV-8 – there’s no reverse button or break.
But, by hitting RB/Shift, you can use its boost thrusters to go much faster and ramp across ravines. Or, you can use the jump button to use vertical boosters, thrusting the vehicle into the air to reach high-up places you’d never usually get to.
You won’t be defenseless while using the REV-8 either, as it has a built-in laser turret that’s quite powerful. Aim and fire as you would with any weapon.
Hitting X on controller or R on a keyboard will sound the horn, and you can switch to first-person view by toggling the change POV button.
How to customize
It’s only the color that can be changed, you can’t fully customize the REV-8 like you can with your ship. For example, you won’t be able to swap out any parts or upgrade the boost.
