Starfield features a whole arsenal of personal weapons to protect adventurers from the perils of their interstellar journeys, be they human or alien. Some of them offer cutting-edge technology to deliver firepower, while others look and feel like they belong to the times long past. Technology aside, I found some deadlier than others. This guide will bring you a list of the top 10 best weapons you can find in Starfield.
Top 10 weapons in Starfield
10 - Wakizashi
Wakizashi is the perfect tool for the job if you want to bring some tradition into your science fiction. This weapon will make you feel like a true space ninja, providing adecent damage outputwhile retaininglow weight. There are multiple ways of obtaining this weapon, but I found it onUC ExchangeinCydonia.

9 - Bridger
Bridger is the type of weapon to bring when you need someheavy firepower. It has an uncanny resemblance to an old-world Winchester-type rifle, but make no mistake, this weapon packs a lot bigger punch than the small .22 could ever provide. Its prowess is lessened by its rarity, as I could only find it occasionally stocked inNeon Tactical.
8 - Urban Eagle
Urban Eagle is an excellent pistol you can unlock early in the game. It works very well asa sidearm for almost any build, and you can equip a suppressor to make it morestealthy. Its damage output is very satisfactory, with plenty of ammo to go around. To find it, visit any largerweapons vendorin major cities.
7 - Unmigitated Violence
Unmigitated Violence really lives up to its name, as it is thebest and most powerful laser rifleyou can obtain in Starfield. We don’t have it higher up on the list because you get it late in the campaign by defeating theHunterduring theRevelationmain quest.
6 - Hard Target
If thestealth sniper buildis the name of your game, the Hard Target is a must-have in your arsenal. This is thebest sniper riflein the game; I find it especially effective when you combine it withstealthfor an additional damage bonus. Obtaining the Hard Target will be challenging, as it’s a rare weapon that drops from boss enemies. you may sometimes find it at theTrade AuthorityonNeon.
5 - Experiment A-7
Experiment A-7 is a more powerful version of the Breach shotgun, modified to deal30% more damage to alien enemies. I found it while looting a container in theAranaesystem, but it may be different for you because I believe it spawns randomly. It’s an excellent shotgun, especially if modded withflechettes.
4 - Deadeye
Like the Keelhauler, Deadeye is another high-powered revolver withexcellent damage outputthat surpasses its aforementioned competitor (albeit at the cost of the fire rate). Obtaining it is rather easy, as I got it when I joined theFreestar Rangersfaction. If you don’t feel like a pirate, this is the Keelhauler’s good karma counterpart.
3 - Microgun
Microgun is more of an honorable mention thanks to itsridiculous rate of fire, which quickly eats through your ammo reserves despite providing serious damage per second. While it fires, it quickly turns everything you point it at to mush, but itsammo is few and far between, and you need plenty to sustain its voracious appetite. To obtain this incredible and iconic weapon, you must complete theHostile intelligencemission for theUCfaction.

2 - Keelhauler
Keelhauler is a souped-up version of Magshot. The latter is widely considered thebest handgunin the game thanks to itsenormous damage output, which only increases with appropriate weapon skills. The .43MI ammunition can be difficult to find, so I kept the pistol for boss encounters only. you’re able to get the Keelhauler as a reward for completing theEchoes of the Past mission.
1 - Big Bang
Big Bang is the ultimate killing instrument, and will smear your opponents with extreme prejudice. As a particle beam shotgun, it deals bothphysical and energy damageto opponents. The ammo for it can be rare as it uses heavy fuze ammo, but carrying it is still worth it as I found it to be effective at close and medium range. It is a high-level weapon typically found on dead enemies and in areas rich with loot.
