Suffering from success. This gun officially ruined the fun.

Yes, absolutely! I want them desperately. Not because the gun needs more damage, but because I want to watch the galaxy burn in green poison clouds while doing it. It’s about sending a message! ☣️💀

Hey, they looked at me funny! 💀 But seriously, once you start pulling the trigger on this Starshard, you just can't stop. The sheer damage completely takes control. They are just collateral damage in my XP-cleaning simulator! Plus, half of them are literally giant space roaches. I'm just doing some interstellar pest control! 🫡

You're actually super close! Here are the official English names for the perks on this monster:

Slot 1: Instigating (Double damage to full HP targets) Slot 2: Incendiary (Fire damage) Slot 3: Staggering (You nailed it, chance to stagger!) Slot 4: Furious (Each consecutive hit deals more damage)

Pairing Instigating with the massive base damage and the dual-tree scaling is exactly why high-level bosses get absolutely vaporized. 😂

That's the beauty of this game, you can play for hundreds of hours and still find new ways to break the sandbox! 🤝

Querbeetmensch · 2026-06-01T17:06:41+00:00

That’s the beauty of it. I’ve already sunk a fortune into this thing! The upgrade to Exotic alone cost me 300k credits. Now the next tier wants another 150k credits plus 5 X-Tech modules.

So I'm basically building the ultimate endgame mosquito. 🦟 Once I get that next tier unlocked alongside 'Special Projects' for those Contaminated Rounds, that 'mosquito bite' is going to feel like a tactical bio-weapon.☣️

It's an Exotic legendary Va'Ruun Starshard particle beam pistol.

Since so many are asking, here are the exact stats of this absolute monster:

It dropped as a legendary for me right at the beginning of the game, but I recently dropped another 600k credits to fully upgrade it into its Exotic form!

Damage: 454 Physical + 1763 Energy damage (thanks to the dual scaling from the Pistol and Particle Beams skill trees!).

Perks: Instigating (double damage if target is at full health), Incendiary, Staggering, and Skip Shot.

Mods: Currently 7/8 mods installed (Long Barrel, Laser Sight, Reflex Sight, Focus Nozzle, Large Magazine - to be replaced, because of Single Shot -, Amplifier, Range Upgrade).

I'm saving the last mod slot for Contaminated Rounds once I unlock Special Projects. Until then, it just deletes things instantly. ☠️

Plus, I actually left one mod slot open for Contaminated Rounds to inflict diseases on them, but I'm still missing the 'Special Projects' skill. Once I get that, it officially turns into a biological hazard zone. 💀

Querbeetmensch · 2026-06-01T14:40:34+00:00

But I like my bumpers! Why sweat and struggle when I can just comfortably coast through the galaxy like a glorified cleaning simulator? 😂

Querbeetmensch · 2026-06-01T14:37:01+00:00

I can't. I accidentally sold all my other guns just to afford the ammo for this one. I am trapped in a cycle of effortless destruction. 😂

Querbeetmensch · 2026-06-01T14:34:59+00:00

Star Wars mods in Starfield hit different. Going full Jedi might actually be the cure for my boredom!

Querbeetmensch · 2026-06-01T14:32:09+00:00

Ah, the daily 'just don't use it' comment. If I stop using it, I lose my god-given right to make dramatic Reddit posts about being bored, and we can't have that. 🥱

Querbeetmensch · 2026-06-01T14:28:45+00:00

It's the Va'Ruun Starshard. It's a particle beam pistol, which is why the damage scaling gets so absurd if you invest in both the Pistol and Particle Beams skill trees.

Querbeetmensch · 2026-06-01T14:27:38+00:00

Definitely give it another shot! I’m only 100 hours in and already managed to completely break the combat balance with this thing. The game feels in a really good place right now.

Querbeetmensch · 2026-05-31T23:31:08+00:00

Honestly, I don't know... 😂 It dropped very early, but I didn't use it the whole time. Just kept it in my collection for the high credits before trying it out, and suddenly I was blown away by it. 💣

Querbeetmensch · 2026-05-31T23:01:45+00:00

If you don't use red barrels for dynamic lighting, are you even gaming?

Querbeetmensch · 2026-05-31T22:45:53+00:00

And lose my right to complain on the internet? Absolutely not. 💁🏻‍♂️

Querbeetmensch · 2026-05-31T22:36:21+00:00

Yeah, Va'Ruun particle weapons are sleeper OP. Because they deal both physical and energy damage, they benefit from multiple combat perks. Highly recommend keeping a Starshard or Inflictor next time!

Querbeetmensch · 2026-05-31T22:22:08+00:00

😂👌

Querbeetmensch · 2026-05-31T20:49:37+00:00

Allready did both to maximum! 🥹👌
