When you’re building up your ship in Starfield, picking out the best individual parts for your ship is key to ensuring you may handle whatever the game throws at you. Here’s what thebest ship weapons are in Starfield.
Which Ship Weapons Should You Use in Starfield?
While we could tell you thatparticle beam weaponsare the best ship weapons in Starfield and call it a day, there’s much more to it than that (which is partly why we don’t use them ourselves). Ship weapons fall into several different classes and come in five different types. All of this needs to be taken into account when setting your arsenal up. As such, we’re going to break this down into the best ship weapons for each individual class and weapon type. Firstly, though, we have to explain what any of that means.
As for which three of these five weapon types you should choose for your ship, we personally like runninga Ballistic and Laser combo followed by Missile. This keeps things well-rounded and makes room for that crisp burst damage out of the missile launcher. Both of the other weapon types have their perks, though and shouldn’t be ignored just because we said so.
