Summary
Not unlike most open-world games,Starfieldfeatures a vast roster of guns, blades, and explosives that players can customize, though many players may be unaware of some of the available modification options due to the complexities of certain menus. WithStarfieldshowing off nearly 1,000 planets to explore, all the rare resources in the galaxy would go to waste if players couldn’t find a use for them, and putting together the perfect weapon is understandably a priority for many.
Whether combat enthusiasts are looking for laser rifles, katanas, high-explosive weapons, or just some simple ballistic firearms, thediversity ofStarfield’s arsenalensures that there is something for everyone. The variety of weapon and damage types in Bethesda’s latest title demonstrates yet another similarity the game has to theFalloutgames, which also allows players to collect and modify weapons in pretty much the same way. That said,Starfieldis sure to stand out in its own ways, and as a game that leans heavily into skill trees and resource collection, fans will want to invest heavily in not only the weapon engineering skill but also some advanced manufactured components if they want to make the most out of their guns.

Players can still make certain adjustments to their equipment from the get-go even without all of these extra resources though, with one of the most simple customization options being missed surprisingly often by players. Whenselecting a weapon inStarfield’s weapon workbenchmenu, players will be offered a prompt to rename a weapon, (by default, the Y button on Xbox), which allows a weapon to be permanently assigned a more personal nickname. One fan of the game on Reddit under the username KlausenHausen brought this to the attention of many others in the game’s community, sharing an image of their own weapon, “Woody Barrelson,” as an example. Weapon names can always be changed again, and can help certain weapons stand out in the inventory screen so that they aren’t accidentally sold.
Starfieldcontinues to captivate gamerswith its massive, explorable galaxy and the sheer amount of stuff to do within that open galaxy, and fans are still discovering amazing new places to visit and rich stories to explore. While it can all be a little overwhelming for beginners to the genre,Starfielddoes a decent job of teaching players its intricacies, and is guaranteed to keep them busy for a long time to come.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
