In Starfield, there are a lot of unique weapons that you can wield to eliminate your enemies. Some do elemental damage, some physical, and some energy. The Particle Beam weapons stand out, as they can do physical and energy damage in Starfield. This duality makes them highly versatile in engaging with different enemies.
