Players can create some of the best builds inStarfieldwith varied means of skills and weapons, all to make them the most powerful they can be. When players combine the right powers, they will become unstoppable, it just depends on what they are looking for. Whether it’s wielding a gun bigger than a person, running around at intense speeds, or even punching foes to death, this guide will aim to provide the bestStarfieldbuilds and utilizethe best traits.

5Heavy Tank Build

Traits:

A tank build is a certainty for some players, especially inStarfield. The idea of being this hulking character that can shrug off bullets and deal a whopping amount of damage to those that oppose them is a prospect that many enjoy, even if the drawback is often that their damage is slow. Players should not be deterred by the slow firing of their weapon, because once it gets rolling, there’s no turning back for the enemies that opposed the player, whether they areCrimson Fleet or United Colonies.

To ensure the best from this build, players should wield any Microgun or Smartgun. These Heavy Weapons use the same commonly found 7.77mm bullets. Simply hold the fire trigger to allow the gun to spin up, and watch the barrage of bullets fly.

4The Mandalorian

If there’s one thing that’s consistent with the Mandalorians seen inStar Wars, it’s that they love a good jetpack joyride. Players can replicate this to a degree with a few perks, ensuring that they can become a volley of death from above, sticking to the skies with their Boostpack and laying waste to all that oppose them from below.

Truly, any Rifle will do the job, but a personal preference has to be the Revenant, a gun with a ridiculously high rate of fire, along with a laser targeting system to make more accurate shots. The use of .50 MI Array bullets means players will never be in short supply. The Revenant can be acquired during theEye of the Storm missionfor the Crimson Fleet. Otherwise, feel free to use any rifle.

3Silent But Deadly

Stealth is an art form that is better done alone. With this silent build, players will be able to stalk through the battlefield without their enemies even being aware of their presence. If done right, players can feel like a true stealth archer of old, except this time, they are paired with a gun that can do far more damage than an arrow ever could.

Whilst any weapon with a suppressor will work, purchasing a pistol is probably the best idea. A pistol is lightweight and agile, meaning players can be far more efficient and reactive when firing a pistol. It’s worth noting that the suppressor attachment is the only realessential towards this stealth build inStarfield.

2Speed Demon

There’s nothing more thrilling than running at high speeds towards a target inStarfield. Players can get up close and personal with this build, enabling them to do some serious damage to their targets and leave whoever is behind them in the dust, all thanks to the combination of the best skills inStarfieldand a powerful shotgun to literally blow their enemies away.

For this build, players are going to want to equip a shotgun of their choice. A shotgun can be purchased from near enough any vendor, but it’s preferable that players pick up a ballistic shotgun, like a Coachman thanks to the fact that it’s a double-barrelledweapon that truly packs a violent punch.

1Fisticuffs

Sometimes it’s time to take the gloves off and set aside those futuristic weapons for something more primal. With this build, players can run into the battlefield with their fists raised, ready to punch anyone and anything that is brave enough to get in their way. This build is not for the faint of heart, as the act of punching things todeath may not be for everyone.

In this build, players need no weapons at all and simply need to rely on their classic hands to do the work for them. There are plenty of Skills inStarfieldthat add bonuses to these unarmed attacks so players can fully unlock the art of martial arts and boxing.
