Since Starfield is a vast RPG game with over 1,000 universes it shows a great deal of futuristic weaponry that might be used in the real world in the distant future. As much as the new weapons in the game are great, there is no substitute for good ol’ fashioned gunpowder. While ballistic weapons do exist, Starfield also kicks up the nostalgia with a collection of Old Earth Weapons that represent real-life weapons.
What are Starfield Old Earth Weapons
After visiting Paradiso, the resort planet, in the Poriima system, you might have gotten a quest to investigate a ship in the planet’s orbit. This ship, the ECS Constant, isn’t answering to any hails, and that worries the planet dwellers that it might be a sentient alien species or an abandoned ship that is ruining the view of the planet.
Once you investigate the ship, you find out that it is actually an old Earth colony ship that left the planet over 200 years ago. This means the tech aboard it is old and outdated. Lucky for you, this also brings you to the Old Earth weapon collection which contains 4 different guns
- Old Earth Assault Rifle – AK-47
- Old Earth Pistol – M1911
- Old Earth Hunting Rifle – VSS
- Old Earth Shotgun – Pump Shotgun
