Discover the Ultimate Game-Changer: Unearthing Starfield's Unconventional Weapon Enhancement

Highlights

A Starfield player found a strange knife with an amusing perk: an extended magazine, even though knives don't use ammunition.

Players of Starfield have raised concerns about the limited selection of melee weapons, expressing a desire for improved options and mechanics for close-quarter combat. Although a single knife may not offer much efficacy in battles, other procedurally generated weapons within the game possess remarkable power, such as a high-damage pistol with distinctive abilities.

A Starfield player recently came across an unusual knife with a rather comical perk that may not be the best fit for it. In the quest for the best weapons in Starfield, gamers are always searching the remains of their enemies, and while this knife may not be particularly powerful, it certainly brings amusement.

Starfield, released to critical acclaim and glowing reviews, stands as one of the biggest games of 2023. Its popularity stems in part from its expansive open world, which incorporates procedural generation in certain aspects, including loot generation. Interestingly, this means that randomized loot can sometimes produce strange and uniquely unexpected items that a human designer would never envision.

A Starfield player named Postpwnmalone recently shared their latest gaming finding: an Osmium Dagger equipped with the Extended Magazine perk. At first glance, this Epic Melee weapon appears fairly straightforward, with a Physical power of 28 and a Mass of 2.70, valued at 3529 credits. However, the unique twist lies in the "Extended Magazine" perk, which actually has no effect since knives do not require ammunition.

Postpwnmalone's post gained significant traction on r/Starfield, accumulating over 7,500 upvotes, eliciting laughs, and stimulating a discussion about potential improvements to Starfield's melee weapon options. It's widely known that Starfield currently lacks a diverse selection of melee weapons beyond blades, which poses a significant challenge for players interested in this style of gameplay. Furthermore, some gamers criticized the game's deficiency in enhanced melee mechanics and abilities, particularly in terms of closing in on distant foes during melee attacks.

While this knife may not be suitable for combat, there are other Starfield weapons that are truly remarkable. Recently, a gamer made a thrilling discovery in the game - a remarkably powerful pistol. This player, who shared their finding on social media, showcased the One Inch Punch Modified Calibrated Old Earth Pistol. With the ability to inflict 181 Physical damage and fire 60 bullets per minute, this pistol also boasts four mod slots and three perks. Notably, the "Furious" perk grants each hit with increasing damage, while the Rapid perk accelerates bullet speed by up to 25%. Combined, these attributes make this pistol one of the most formidable firearms in the game.

Starfield is available for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
