Of all the systems and mechanics that players will encounter in Starfield, combat will likely be one of the most time-consuming. A great deal of the game will be spent fighting, and Starfield offers players a vast array of weapons to do so as they see fit. Like many other games with massive arsenals, Starfield breaks up its weapons into categories. The Heavy category features weapons that have unrivaled damage potential, but often suffer from weight issues or slow reloading.
