Starfield Magstorm vs Magsia: Which one should you choose?

Well-designed and unique weapons make combat a fun experience, especially when it’s a futuristic gun from Bethesda’s sci-fi world Starfield. At various points in the game, you’ll come across two of the best guns: Magstorm and Magsia. And once you own one of them, you’ll see how good they are in terms of weapon handling and damage output. However, when it comes to choosing the best one, you may be confused. After all, both guns are in a league of their own. In this article, we will discuss the stats of both Magstorm and Magsia to determine which is the better gun.

Starfield Magstorm Properties

Core Kinetics in the heart of the planet Neon allows you to purchase probably one of the best heavy weapons if you have a high enough level. It’s called Magstorm, and if you buy it with enough levels, you can wreak havoc on your enemies.

Magstorm has higher base damage and fire rate in Starfield (review). This means that at higher levels you will shatter the armor of any enemy. And if you’ve played the game long enough, you know that most of the enemies in the late game have solid armor.

Another reason why the Magstorm is one of the popular weapons in the game is its combination of range, accuracy, and damage. Unlike other guns in the game, there is no startup delay and you can start annihilating your enemies almost instantly.

The only limitation of Magstorm is that it has limited mod upgrades . Only the magazine and interior can be modified. It feels small compared to other guns. Weight gain is a subjective issue, but it can be a problem if your weight limit isn’t perfect. The properties of magstorm are as follows:

Starfield Magsia Properties

In three different shops around the world of Starfield, namely Neon Tactical, Best Defense, and Centaurian Arsenal, you can find another cool weapon that locks horns with Magstorm, called Magshear.

Another high-level weapon, this gun is probably one of the best ballistic weapons in the game. Even with a decent rate of fire and damage, Magshear gets the job done.

Another advantage of the front magsia on the Starfield is its weight. Magshear has a fairly manageable weight limit for its power. Anyone with the right carrying weight can easily store Magsia in their inventory and use it to crush enemies on intergalactic missions.

In addition, almost all components can be modified by modifying the interior, magazine, barrel, laser, muzzle, etc. This gives you the option to customize the gun to your liking, a trait that is greatly lacking in the Magstorm.

If Magshear has a downside, it’s the time it takes to reload. Magshear requires frequent reloading, which can be annoying in intense combat situations. Otherwise, you’ll be getting a pretty versatile weapon. The characteristics of Starfield’s Magsia are as follows:

So, I’m in the final stages of choosing between the Magstorm and Magsia guns. Well, in my opinion, Magshear is better than Magstorm for two reasons. Magshear is a better gun due to its higher damage per bullet and more manageable weight.

Additionally, another area where Magshear has an advantage over Magstorm is its mod options. Most parts can be modified for better functionality to further improve functionality.

But of course, both guns are some of the best weapons in the game. So, in the end, it comes down to your preference. That’s what we want to hear from you. Which of the two guns do you prefer to use in the game and why? Let us know in the comments below.
