If you’re itching to discover new firearms or blades, keep reading to find out where you can buy weapons in Starfield.

Discover the Best Gun and Weapon Shops in Starfield

For a wide selection of guns, knives, and other lethal weapons, specialized weapon shops should be your primary destination. While general stores and the Trade Authority may offer a limited range of weaponry, dedicated weapon stores provide a much greater variety. Here are a few notable examples:

• Centaurian Arsenal in New Atlantis Residential District, Jemison, Alpha Centauri.
• Rowland Arms in Akila City, Akila, Cheyenne.
• Neon Tactical in Neon, Volii Alpha, Volii.

Explore these locations to find countless options for firearms and ample ammunition supplies. Take your time to browse through the impressive display of available products. Keep in mind that while there may be opportunities to “acquire” weapons through less conventional means, purchasing what you need is the most reliable and ethical approach. Additionally, if you’re in search of a new cutter or need a quick upgrade, these shops are perfect for your needs.

Weapon stores primarily offer regular-quality guns, occasionally featuring rare finds. While epic-grade weapons are a rare sight, legendary ones are almost mythical, making them extremely valuable but challenging to acquire. Be prepared, as the best firearms often come with a significant price tag. So, it’s wise to focus on accumulating wealth swiftly to ensure you can afford the very best.
