Now we get to the fun stuff, The Outer Worlds weapons. There's a lengthy amount of nurturing, buffing, and tinkering that you'll have to give your weapons in The Outer Worlds. Picking up a gun you love won't cut it, so we've broken down everything you need to know about weapons in The Outer Worlds.
