What kind of weapons are you gonna use?

3 years ago by Anosyn to c/starfield

In the Direct (and other footage) we've seen quite a collection of different weapon types and ways to engage combat. Pistols, rifles, shotguns (and the different ammo types), melee weapons, fists, a couple of shots showed a dev playing primarily with explosives.

What kind of weapons are you planning on using? Often times I try to stick to one/two weapons (depending on the game and skill-system), but I can see myself at least trying out every different kind I find on my first playthrough :D

What about you?

Oh, I just noticed I forgot about space combat - tough I'm not too sure if it makes any difference in gameplay, or if it's more a "use weapon type X to attack their defensive element Y" until you can board/destroy/whatever?

I’ll probably stick with pistols. As long as I can keep upgrading them so they can compete against enemies.

I’m a sucker for a good silenced pistols. I might try to make a “John Wick” build and try to stealth through dungeons with a silenced pistol until I inevitably get discovered and have to run and gun my way out.

I love pistols because they're pretty viable at most ranges and allow for a lot of skill expression. Headshots are generally the priority with them, where shotguns are more just aim for the body or just generally near them. It really depends on what we can do with them though and how much damage they do. I think generally in Bethesda game (with guns) pistols have been pretty solid, and they keep your weight down. Since we have a ship I don't know if weight is going to be as important though. I guess I'll just be waiting to see how it goes.
