radiotimes.com:

With Starfield being as big as it is, there are a lot of things to shoot — and a whole lot of things to shoot with.

To help narrow it all down, we have our guide on the best Starfield weapons with early game must-haves and the best guns overall.

Some of these guns require you to have progressed a certain amount through the story, so check out the Starfield mission list to see how far along you are.

Others will see you travelling across the universe to locales such as Neon and interacting with factions like the Crimson Fleet and the UC Vanguard.

With so much out there to see and do, this list is bound to grow, so be sure to keep up to date so you don’t miss out on any tips and tricks and to ensure you and your loyal companions don’t get caught short in the far reaches of space.

This Soviet-era suppressed rifle can be found at Centaurian Arsenal in New Atlantis. While a few centuries old, it still packs a mean punch and deals 36 Phys Damage.

When paired with the Stealth skill, you will gain additional damage with suppressed weapons at every rank, increasing the utility of the rifle.

With all of that, headshots can be absolutely lethal and will make short work of enemies early on. It’s particularly great for clearing out lesser enemies before going in to deal with high-level foes.

Elegance is a suppressed pistol that betrays its namesake, as the damage it deals is absolutely brutal. With a base of 48 Phys Damage and a fire rate of 109, you can set off a rapid succession of shots to dispatch foes.

Similarly to the Old Earth Hunting Rifle, pairing Elegance with Stealth perks turns it into a monster.

You can find Elegance in Rowland Arms in Akila City on planet Akila in the Cheyenne system.
