Weapon Tier Level

Starfield has four weapon tier levels: Base, Calibrated, Refined, Advanced (in ascending order). The higher the tier, the better the damage of the weapon. As you level up, your chances of finding higher tier weapons increase, defeating higher level enemies will also increase the drop chance of best weapons. Note that superior weapons do exist, but they are incorrectly named as advanced weapons despite dealing more damage.

Unique Weapons in Starfield scale in base damage depending on their weapon tier level (Base, Calibrated, Refined, Advanced), but they keep the same unique name without any prefixes being added. You can find out more information on how to get the best version of each unique weapon you come across on the unique weapon tier system page.

Below you can find the stats for each tier level of this unique weapon.

Laser Rifles

---

Laser Rifles deal energy damage and mostly share the same ammunition which is relatively easy to acquire from vendors. Energy damage can be more effective against certain enemies who have a lower Energy damage resistance. Compared to Ballistic Rifles there are very few Laser Rifles to choose from.

You can increase the damage that Laser Rifles do by investing skill points into the following Combat Skills: Lasers, Rifle Certification, Marksmanship, Rapid Reloading, Armor Penetration, Crippling and Sharpshooting.

Particle Beam Rifles

---

Particle Beam Rifles deal both energy damage and Physical Damage combined. The advantages of dealing two damage types are that one of them will still be effective against even the most heavily armoured enemies. The disadvantage is that you will need to spread your character build over multiple Combat Skills: to deal the maximum amount of damage with Particle Beam Rifles.

You can increase the damage that Particle Beam Rifles, do by investing skill points into the following Combat Skills: Particle Beams, Lasers, Ballistics, Rifle Certification, Marksmanship, Rapid Reloading, Armor Penetration, Sniper Certification, Crippling and Sharpshooting.
