AStarfieldplayer who goes by the name of BigBob145 posted a screencap in theStarfieldsubreddit of one such microgun they found which, thanks to a lucky behind-the-scenes roll of the dice, just so happened to be a Legendary Skip Shot Assassin’s Microgun. Legendary weapons are the rarest tier and often the most powerful, depending on the various weapon mods and perks that happen to be attached. BigBob145’s microgun came decked out with a killer slate of mods and perks that push the physical damage it deals to 42. That isn’t incredibly high on its own but considering that the gun fires 350 rounds a minute, it’s gotan incredibly high DPS.
On top of that, themicrogun comes with a couple of perksthat add to the mayhem. Specifically, Lacerate and Skip Shot. Lacerate randomly applies a bleed effect to a target, draining their health even when being directly shot. But Skip Shot is really what makes this legendary heavy weapon completely unfair, as it ensures that every fourth bullet fired is two bullets in one.
One commenter recommended giving the gun to a companion since companions have infinite ammo. Though, it doesn’t seem like that would be too much of a problem for BigBob145, since the Legendary Skip Shot Assassin’s Advanced Microgun takes 7.77MM rounds, of which they have 13,455, according to the picture. Even with the microgun consuming 350 rounds per minute, BigBob145likely won’t run out of ammoanytime soon.
Starfieldis available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
