Tier List Criteria

① Damage and Fire Rate
DPS is king when it trying to determine the best weapon you want to use in Starfield. No matter what playstyle you're running, a weapon that can deplete your enemy's health faster is the most efficient weapon to use.
② Magazine Capacity
Magazine Capacity is an important aspect of the Rifle. Having more bullets to fire could mean everything during combat, as getting caught while reloading is fatal.
③ Accuracy
Accuracy defines the Rifle's range, which means that Rifles that can maintain recoil from afar are desirable as the recoil from close to medium range will be smaller, dealing more damage to enemies.
④ Mass
Though it's not a dealbreaker, a weapon's mass could be put into consideration so you can carry more items while exploring.
