Microgun

First seen during the Starfield Direct showcase, the Microgun is Starfield’s own minigun. Smaller than its Fallout counterpart, the Microgun spits out ammo at an exceptionally high rate of fire, turning most enemies into paste within seconds. It is, however, very ammo hungry as a result, so save this one for bosses or large groups of enemies.
