Starfield: Shattered Space takes upon a new approach to combat in the space exploration role-playing game. Weeks before its release, Bethesda has teased that Shattered Space will add more horror elements to Starfield in the form of Vortex Horrors and Vortex Phantoms. These new enemies in Shattered Space not only provide a new combat experience but also drop items needed to craft the all-powerful Vortex Grenades.
With new locations, enemies, and places of interest, Shattered Space also added DLC-exclusive weapons that are fit for the monsters plaguing the Va'ruun. If you need more firepower despite reaching level 35 to start the DLC, we've got all the DLC weapons and how to get them in this guide just for you!
