Where did Superior Weapons go?

[moody]

After launch when I played I was seeing Superior Weapons all over the place. I'm back playing now and I don't see them anymore.

Did they take them out of the game?

I've looked it up online and people say everywhere I look they never saw Superior Rarity on Weapons. Only on Armor. Some say it's a bug where some Advanced are actually Superior.

I know I'm not crazy Lol That first playthrough I did I 100% used to see Superior Weapons all the time.

According to the Inara Starfield database, weapon tiers went no higher than Advanced. Space Suit tiers went up to Superior.

I'm not going to say you're crazy, but I've been playing sense early release and have never seen a Superior Weapon.

[Red Ducky]

I think you are crazy or that it was a bug. I'm fairly certain superior is a category reserved for armor items.

Didn't I read somewhere there were two tiers of 'advanced'??

You can have an Advanced tier plus a Rarity. But just one Advanced tier.

I read that at some point too but never saw any evidence of that.

I feel embarrassed for saying so but I seriously remember Superior on Weapons. I reloaded my Save file from last year and I had all my Superior Armor and stuff but all my Weapons I had were Advanced.

Even old guides I still have bookmarked has Superior in their Weapon Tiers and an old sticky note I found in my drawer had a few Superior Weapons scribbled out on it.

Maybe I am just crazy and don't really remember or there was an update that changed it. I feel bad but I swear I remember that Lol

Looks like you dimension jumped into this universe where weapons never went higher than Advanced. I wonder who you will be in this one, what kind of choices will you make?

[LeBurns]

It could be that you assumed, as many did early on, that there were Superior weapons, because why wouldn't there be? Still kind of puzzled as to why there isn't.

I’m more puzzled why some weapons never go past refined. Especially the one laser rifle that’s one of only two laser rifles in the game.

Agreed makes no sense. If it's because they are just too powerful then just move them down the list as to when they start appearing as loot. Just pulling them out feels like someone at BGS just couldn't figure something out so just cut it completely.

I've come across Advanced Space Suits, are you saying its just a bug? I've been hoarding bunch of them thinking they were special.

No bug, just suits can go up to Superior and weapons to Advanced. And there are a handfull that are limited below that.

It's because people didn't (and still don't) know how weapon quality mods work...
The quality mod slot can have an unlimited number of mods on it.
When the game spawns a advanced weapon it actually also has all the lower-tier quality mods on it as well.
You can console command 100 'advanced' mods onto it and the damage number will keep going up...

But no, there are no 'superior' weapons, and there never have been.
You can check the game data.
Each different weapon has its own set of quality mods that spawn on it, they only go up to quality 4 (advanced for guns, with the exception of 4 guns that only get up to refined).

There is a mod now that adds superior weapons
