Here is a closer look at all the Particle Beam Weapons you can get in Starfield.

In total, we have found the following Particle Beam weapons in Starfield. These are a range of rifles, shotguns and pistols.

Particle Beam Weapon	Type	Location
Big Bang	Shotgun	Random drop from containers and stores. You can get it early through some containers that drop random purple-quality weapons, but, it seems like it typically need to be a higher level (around the mid 20’s before it shows up).
Eternity’s Gate	Rifle	Unique legendary weapon you get from a certain decision at a certain point in the campaign. This is the best-guaranteed particle weapon in the game, but it could be outperformed by really high-roll random legendary gear.
Jake’s Hangover Cure	Shotgun	A unique, yet common version of the Big Bang looted from behind Jake’s bar in The Well, under New Atlantis. You will need to steal it to get it.
Novalight	Pistol	Random drop or store rotation item.
Reflection	Rifle	Vendor item in NG+, it’s basically a higher quality Va’Ruun Inflictor.
Terror Inflictor	Pistol	NG+ vendor item
The Spacer	Pistol	Go to Abaron, a store vendor on Ryujin Industries’ main floor located in Neon Core.
Va’ruun Inflictor	Rifle	Random drop from Va’ruun enemies, which can be sold in stores but rarely appears.
Va’ruun Starshard	Pistol	Can drop for Va’ruun enemies or appear in random store rotations.

All the weapons above will come with different power levels on them, depending on what level and the roll on the weapons in terms of stats. Sometimes you may find purple versions of the weapons and get really good mods, damage boosts, and perks for them too. So, we won’t go into too much detail on how good the weapons are. However, we will say the Big Bang is a popular weapon for its close-range annihilation capabilities.

Regarding Eternity’s Gate, there is a spoiler route you can take to get the weapon. We have added a spoiler box below for finding that gun correctly, but know it comes with spoilers.

Also, if you are going the Particle Beam weapon type, there is a skill to increase the damage and crit chance of those weapons in the Combat skill tree. You can also use Andreja as a companion, who comes with Particle Beams Rank 3, making her capable of using those guns to their full advantage.
