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.
