Ballistic Weapons deal Physical damage to your enemies. From our playthroughs, we've noticed that Ballistic Weapons might be more effective on human targets than they are on robots.
Most of the best weapons in Starfield are classified as ballistic, and this weapon type just deals more damage than others in general. You can even improve your ballistic damage output by ranking up the Ballistic Skill!
A weapon's overall damage does not scale and does not increase when you level up. Instead, weapon damage depends on its tier and rarity, weapon mods, and your skills.
This means that in order to obtain more powerful weapons, you need to defeat stronger enemies and loot from chests in higher-level zones. Then, you can increase their effectiveness by installing mods at a weapon workbench and leveling up your skills that correspond to the damage type of your weapon.
