Tier List Criteria

① Damage Damage is king when it trying to determine the best weapon you want to use in Starfield. No matter what playstyle you're running, a weapon that can deplete your enemy's health faster is the most efficient weapon to use.

② Range Range is an aspect that must be considered as it can affect a weapon's effectiveness, specially in a game where enemies move around a lot.

③ Mass Though it's not a deal breaker, a weapon that has less mass is desirable as it allows you to carry more.
