Thanks for watching, it took indeed some time to research, record and edit. So glad you enjoyed it. 😄

I am definitely team Phase Beam. Since going strictly to them, I've never once had to recharge my own shields. Granted, it doesn't do as much damage, but it's still very effective, and an absolute beast when fully upgraded, and the range is fantastic.

I've been using the Phase Beam with a Hauler so in any fight you're pretty much the hardest ship to take down. I'm also running rocket launchers just to finish off some enemies and because it looks cool AF

Yep. I open with phase beam, drain shields, then swap to photon to get them to half health, wait for the shield recharge which normally pops immediately, then snapshot rockets. GGs. It works on any ship, with only basic modules and no upgrades, and just happens to be the order in which they're toggled. Super easy

My fully upgraded X class infra knife has DPS stats of over 60k and over 40k. It has great range and heat dispersion, it's already destroyed enemy ships well before getting anywhere close to overheating. It's so good it's the only weapon I have installed besides the base photon cannon that I can't remove.

Thx Beeblebum, you work very hard on these videos and I can see the attention to details and professionalism. Very well done and for people like me who just got the game all of this is very helpful. No man sky can be a bit confusing because there is a lot of stats for a lot of element in the game, and guides like this helps a lot.

Wow what an amazing weapon guide. This was exactly what I was looking for and even more. Thanks so much for the details and the work you put into this video!

Glad to see the Infraknife got a boost from HG on this update, I’ve always wanted it to be as good as it sounded but until now, has not lived up to expectations. Also nice to see the phase beam used in a new way for shield recharging. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the changes made to the ship weapons this time around. Thanks for testing this Beebs!

Interesting. Gotta try out the Infra Knife again. Ive been an almost exclusively Positron Ejector user for ages. Post nerf I found it was still fully capable of ship vs ship still, I love it for straffing planets for materials. I’m also older and have slow reactions and crappy eyesight and the spread of the positron ejector helps mitigate that a lot. Great review! Thumbs up. Gonna try an Infra Knife tonight.

With the uogrades the positron ejector is still OP, especially with the Apollo figurine and the B class module that you can find the recipe of in the nexus.

It's also good to note that ship type effects weapon damage as well. I have a fully upgraded solar ship that has around the same damage as yours, but I also have a fighter fully upgraded that can erase everything with the standard photon cannon sporting about 7600 attack rating in the info screen

Thank you so much. This is my favorite NMS channel. You're doing a fantastic job!

Great tips! Thanks for taking the time to wor everything out

Thanks for taking the time for this in depth explanation! Glad the sails on your solar are split in half cos if they were together might have some tos issues lol

Many thanks, just what I needed. So far I’ve stuck with the standard weapons and have managed to take down around 35 ships since I bought the game a week ago. However, I would like to upgrade now and this guide has been very thorough.

Thanks for the detailed look Beeblebum. I haven't been using the infra-knife, but now will take a look at it. I've been using the phase beam a lot as that shield restoration is great when there are a good number of attackers all hitting your shields at the same time and you're focusing on taking out one at a time.

tyvm. Perfectly timed video for me as I’m starting NMS again.

I think it's important to consider where you are in the game. The rocket launcher is pretty decent as a hull-finisher early in the game, when you can't afford a lot of slots for upgrade items and won't have ready access to S-class upgrade modules. The lack of upgrades begins to tell when it becomes practical to devote more slots to weapon modules.

That's great info. Thank you for the detailed comparisons.

Nice one Beeblebum, just what I needed to know. Thank you.

Great video and great info. The time you took to edit and place screenshots on top of the video for comparison is much appreciated. I heard about your videos on Reddit and I'll definitely sub.

Great video. Really helped me decide on weapons to outfit my ships.

Thank you this was a much needed video!!!

So helpful . . .! My first ever playthrough in 2016 immediately helped me realise the rocket launcher was pointless as a weapon so, since then, upon finding my first Radiant Pillar, I immediately dismantle the rocket launcher for the condensed carbon etc ingredients. However, I've used the (upgraded) photon cannon constantly virtually from NMS start. So, I'm thrilled to watch this - and I'm checking out the Intra-knife Accelerator immediately!!! Thank you BB!

thank u for this video i am returning to NMS after a few years and the options for both multitool and ship weapons are a little overwhelming and this has given me a good idea what to focus on to start and build towards later so much obliged for the clear and concise explanations

Great work. Your weapons guide has been incredibly helpful.

That's a nicely thought, planned and recorded video. Keep it up!

Great guide for the new update! Exactly what I was looking for to use on my main save, thanks much!!!

Extremely helpful!! Thanks so much for the time it took to make this

Before watching, I went with the infra-knife and phase beam on pretty much everything. The phase beam is pretty weak, but it's great for new saves because of the shield restoring factor. I just wish we could get rid of the photon cannon. I HATE having to cycle past it during combat.

Yeah, my main ship is Cyclotron for if I really need to take out shields and want that stun and then an infra-knife for my primary. I don't like the positron ejector, it is good but the range dropoff mechanic just annoys me too much

Awesome guide. I went with cyclotron + positron, but now I'm going to have to search through my storage crates for all my infra knife modules!

🙋‍♀️🐝 thanks for your informative video again. I now have a new favorite weapon. I seen in one of your streams using the cyclotron and infinite knife. While I was watching you, I installed it on my golden vector as I was playing and it did help take down the shields a lot better. Now I can understand the difference. Thanks for all your hard work.🤗

this was exceptionally helpful thank you!

I was literally just searching for an updated ship weapons guide. Thank you!

nice video, I have never really bothered installing the infra-knife because the photon cannon that often comes on ships is pretty decent but now I kinda want to switch things up so that was useful to see a comparison

Excellent guide. Been waiting for one like this since the update.

Very useful and informative videos, thanks a lot Beeblebum! Really helps understand things better.

Nice (and useful) overview. Not too long, straight to the point.

Intra-knife just smokes 'em. Used to use positron with rockets, but now have changed all ships over to intra-knife. I load 8 intra-knife modules and then go to anomaly and buy all hyperdrive C class modules I can store. I then install all the intra-knife modules (8) to find the best stats. I keep track of which install number had the best stats, then reload. If module install #3 and module #8 had the best stats, I keep track of those numbers and reload. Then I install (2) hyperdrive, (1) intra knife, (4) hyperdrive, then (1) intra-knife. I jump back in my ship to save. I then exit and destroy all the C class hyper drive modules. Rinse repeat. I get a lot of chromatic metal and wire looms that way. Enjoyed the video!

Awesome stuff thanks!!

0:02 The logo fits almost perfectly with the ship in the background

Fantastic info, thank you!

Excellent Information - thank you!

Great guide, thank you. Off to look for Infraknife modules...

Awesome demonstration video! Yeah since it forces you to keep photon cannon I'll just keep it simple with that for shields and backup weapon accompanied with infraknifw

Wow. Very interesting, thanks for the time you put in researching this. Prior to Outlaws, the rocket launcher with upgraded large tubes was my favourite, but since Outlaws the cool down takes way too long and as you illustrate here, the damage is not so good. I never liked the positron ejecter because by the time you get close enough for it to be at its best, it is hard to keep the sights on an enemy ship as they are usually past you quickly. Looks like the cyclotron, intraknife and photon will be my choices, and I can remove the others which as you point out, take up space and get confusing in the heat of battle.

Thank you for your guides. I am a new player and so far I had no problems in spacefights. The battle system is very similar to the old Colony Wars games on the first Playstation.

Great guide. The Posi was my all-time favourite weapon, but until you get all the upgrades, it's too slow to get the shields down for me. I still use it as a main on my maxed ships, but not on new saves. I'm using the infra-knife on new saves, with cyclotron to really destroy shields fast

you are the best NMS content creation out there. Thank you for this video! Infra Knife FTW!

I decided to go with the infra-knife after watching this video and upgraded it as much as possible. The first time I destroyed a pirate ship with it I started laughing because it blew up so fast. Thanks very much for taking the time to make this video, it really helped me out a lot 👍👍

Lol... I just noticed you made a video about the bolt caster being the best weapon for the multi-tool. In my Video I got my Bolt Caster over 12000 dps... So, I'll just wait for you to make a guide the Intra Knife is the best weapon... 😛🤣

Greate job with giving the stats and showing how each weapon is in its basice form and the how it is upgraded. Along with talking about when to use the weapon, why, and combination setups.

Infraknife is OP imo, for me it absolutely melts both shields and hulls alike

Great info. Thanks

Great video! I totally agree about the intra-knife, i can usually get the damage up to at least 38k. The one on my Golden Vector is over 49k.

Thus guide makes things so much easier. Ty

This helps immensely, thank you big man

Wow I just came back to this came since launch. It's amazing how much improvements have been made.

Thank You. I have Phasors and Big Rockets on many of my ships, it is a little more challenging than just using the "Ejector". The Phasor takes down the shields and the Rockets kill them. Well mostly sometimes the Phasor will finish them off. But definitely will try the Intra-Knife on a few ships. Keep up the good work.

The rockets can do great damage on a non-shielded ship... But sometimes, does not damage as all.. its weird. (might be bug).

This is a really good breakdown! Very comprehensive. I would add that I feel it short-changes the Rocket Launcher a bit. Like you mentioned with other weapons, the damage stat is misleading; I've found that it destroys most unshielded ships (except for Sentinels) with a single hit. This makes it a great combination weapon with something with a high shield damage weapon like the Cyclotron Ballista. Fire that first to drain shields, quickly switch to the launcher, and engagements are over in seconds. You could do the same with something like the Positron Ejector but rockets have the advantage of range. I also find the shield recharge of the Phase Beam invaluable for extended dogfights. I tend to equip that and the Rocket Launcher on "cargo" ships where I want more slots kept open for trade items (but still need to hold my own in things like freighter rescues) and put more slots into upgrading the Infra-Knife and Cyclotron on dedicated "combat" ships where I want to maximize dps.

I've always enjoyed the Phase Beam. I remember way back when you have 3 S class upgrade modules on the Phase Beam, them bean color was purple. I miss that! Good information here, Beeble. Thank you!

Interesting and informative. My own practice with starship weaponry can best be described as minimalist - thinking being that with several weapons, one wastes valuable time dialling between choices looking for the "right' weapon for a particular circumstance. Better just to be quicker on the draw and have a good Rate Of Fire with an IMperfect weapon. Plus all the space saved that can go to other gear, . I favor the Cyclotron Ballista, which can have a very very good rate of accurate fire (which offsets its reduced effect when shields go down), PLUS you don't have to worry about refuelling or recharging. I retain and upgrade the Photon Cannon as a back-up, just in case (You Never Know). Also usually add a Rocket Launcher - because it's easy to build, and I just like Fireworks + Big Booms. To each their own. :)

Thanks for taking the time to sort that out. I'm team Positron, but it was fun to see the Intra-Knife at work. Might have to use that as my 2nd weapon. :)

Update: After using the Intra-Knife for a while, I can report definitively that the Positron is still superior - and it's not close. The Intra-Knife's damage goes down a bit after the shields go down, and enemy ships have the chance to move around and make you tail them a bit. Even with just four S module upgrades and 2 X ones with just 1 modification, the Positron dramatically outperforms the Intra-Knife. It kills so fast in its optimal damage range, there's really no comparison. It's not that the Intra-Knife isn't good/fun. It is! But the Positron is still king.

Very useful thank you

Thanks for this! I took a long break from the game just started playing again and was wondering why my weapons were so weak. I had no idea they changed.

looks good and very good video, no BS and good info.

Great guide thx

Very interesting, thanks for this beeble! I had no idea the infra-knife is so powerful now lmao crazy damage

Thx for a solid vid

Many thanks BB!

Thanks for the video. I like draining the shield and then using the rocket launcher, but I'm fairly new to the game.

I find a combo is great. I use an upgraded photon to take the shields down super fast, then as soon as the shield is down, quick switch to positron and it usually takes one shot, maybe two and they are gone. Then quickly switch to the photon for the next enemy. If they are still at far range and not close, I sometimes just stay on photon after the shields are down, because the positron works best at closer range. 👍🏻

This is very helpful. I've personally just been using an upgraded photon cannon to knock down the shields and then I can one-hit most ships with the rocket launcher.

I hadnt bothered even installing the infra knife, been happy with the cyclotron to take out shields then switching to a shot from the rocket launcher then switching again to the positron to finish them off if the rocket shot wasnt enough to take them out which 9 times out of 10 it does, but seeing what that upgraded knife does I will have to rethink it

I’ve been using ballista as a shield breaker! As I said it you said it did a lot of shield damage, nice combos with proton cannon

Thank you I appreciate this

Thanks so much. It's Infra Knife time!!!

im new and this was really nice to watch! with so ffew nanites i really wanted to figure out how ot get my fighter ready. now i do!

My upgraded Infra-Knife stats are almost 60k. I'm planning on trying all the other weapons at some point but I kinda doubt anything will do better- I can probably kill 3 or maybe 4 if every shot hits before overheating- 3 overheats kills a freighter, such an awesome weapon! Nice Video!

That white Solar with orange hex sails: Nice.

I use a few different configurations based on the ship, my Exotic Royal is set up with Beams and rockets, I've had it that way for ages and it continues to operate reasonably well this way. Altho the phase beams are definately not as stronk as they once were, they keep my shields healthy and as soon as I pop a shield I can swap over to rockets, finish em off then swap back to beams for the next target. My gullwing hotrod fighter uses cylcotron ballista and positron ejector, and my solar sailer was set up for infraknife but also uses photon cannon, aiming for maximum dakka! all three playstyles are fun and work to make my three primary ships each feel unique.

It is not only about damage stats but the distance from your ship. You can change weapon when your enemies come closer. You can change weapon when your enemies are shielded or unshielded.

I am, glad that my choice for the fotoncannon was confirmed here. Good overall weapon and aivailable from the start. I will have a look at the intra knife, that seems to be a good choice as well for my style.

That Photon Cannon and the Infra-Knife @ 10:02 tho!! 😱🤪

Used to only use the photon cannon. Didn't want to waste room on all the mods for other weapons. Now that they added the cargo on ships and new effects I use the cyclotron to blast their shields and switch to the photon cannon and I'm melting enemies like i used to years ago. Very fun!

I was hoping for a video like this! Now all hg needs to do is make the photon cannon able to be scrapped haha

Yeah! Infra Knife Rulez! I was stunned the first time i used it! You can get a slight boost to all stats by installing the Figurines (Nada etc.. from Quicksilver Dealer)
