The best weapons in Starfield can turn space pirates into space junk in just a few shots. But one player decided to test the limits of the game’s weapon modification system by turning an ordinary gun into a portable artillery piece. With such a gun, you don’t even have to take aim, launching formal bombardments of entire areas.
Reddit user iSwearSheWas56 has created a Coachman double-barreled shotgun that may violate some military conventions. Using the Hornet Nest modification, the old-fashioned gun turned into a modern mortar, literally covering the entire area with a fiery rain curtain.
Many might think that close-range shotguns are not suitable for long-range shooting, but clearly Starfield disagrees. As this player has shown, all you need to do is shoot up, and if you are at least on the same planet, there is a high chance of hitting ground targets.
Obviously, you shouldn’t shoot such a weapon indoors or on a space station. But, for these purposes you can always use something more targeted. And you can take out this gun when it’s time to clear the pirate camp.
If you want to create your own Hornet Nest, the mod can be obtained by evolving level 3 clip and battery modifications. And you can assemble it from glue, lead and tetrafluoride. Of course, you will also need ammunition for the gun, but for iSwearSheWas56 this was clearly not a problem.
