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 Pistol. Having more bullets to fire could mean everything during combat, as getting caught while reloading is fatal.
③ Mass
Though it's not a dealbreaker, a weapon's mass could be put into consideration so you can carry more items while exploring.
