But if you want to see them in action, be sure to watch the gameplay in the video embed above. Below you can find out more details about their location, stats, and more. Each have their own unique functionality that makes them useful in a firefight, or goofing off, or both. There are five science weapons in The Outer Worlds: the Prismatic Hammer, the Mandibular Rearranger, the Mind Control Ray, the Shrink Ray, and the Gloop Gun. It's worth noting that it's possible to find science weapons pinpointed later on in the questline even if you haven't advanced past the one it's currently telling you to locate. Once you advance the story, the questline will eventually lead you to each of the weapons. Once you initiate the quest, simply follow the waypoints that take you from one science weapon to the next though your progress will halt if you haven't made it to a planet where a specific weapon is on. In fact, there's actually a questline called Weapons from the Void that has you scour the universe to net an arsenal of science weapons, which you can gain access after reading through some messages on a terminal in the Captain's Quarters of your ship, The Unreliable. A large part of what makes The Outer Worlds so charming is that it leans heavily on cheesy sci-fi.
