While Starfield has two damage types in the forms of Physical and Energy, there are a variety of ammo types that the weapons use. These types are often hard to keep track of, which often leads players who are new to the game to run out of ammo during extended dogfights in space.

Both Physical and Energy weapons have multiple ammo types that they will use. Often, you will even find weapons that share the ammo types as well. This, at times, complicates the type of weapon you should use, as sticking to just one armament is never a good idea.

Ammo is not something that you will be able to collect in abundance, and you will often find yourself relying on alternate types. Hence, it’s quite important to learn about all the ammo types in the game and the weapons that use them.

Therefore, today’s Starfield guide will go over all the ammo types that you will come across in Bethesda’s latest RPG and the weapons that use them.
