Starfield: Particle Beam Weapons

While certainly not the go-to choice for most of us, Particle Beam Weapons in Starfield deal Physical and Energy damage, making them a viable option for end-game. The goal, however, is finding one. Here is how to get Particle Beam Weapons, the skills you’ll want to invest in, and the types you’ll find in the Settled Systems!

Where to Get Particle Beam Weapons

There are numerous methods to get Particle Beam Weapons in Starfield, but your primary means of finding one of these ultra-powerful energy weapons is via a trader. You can buy one at:

• Centaurian Arsenal (New Atlantis)
• Neon Tactical (Neon)
• Arboran (Neon)
