Starfield comes blasting through the stratosphere with it’s arsenal of weapons available. From particle beam shotguns to laser rifles, Bethesda Studios created a multitude of categories for all types of guns. And while all these technologically advanced firearms are intriguing, for some, nothing beats the feel of a good ol’ fashioned .50 Cal rifle. Weapons such as these have made their way to the stars, with some bearing a striking resemblance to the guns of today’s world. We’re going to load up and take a look at the best ballistic rifles in Starfield.
Best Ballistic Rifles in Starfield
Starfield has 11 weapon categories (9 if you only count firearms) that players will encounter throughout the course of their playthroughs. Ballistic Rifles are any type of firearm that does only physical damage, as opposed to particle beam weapons that deal energy and physical damage. And if you’ve been playing the game, you’ll more than likely grab one or two of these off a dead corpse. These are going to be the weapons we’re looking at today.
