Title: Starfield player beats the RPG with one of the worst builds possible: gun bashing only – and says it "wasn't too difficult"

[html]One pistol, a shotgun, and the Mantis armor were crucial to the run
                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                               
                           
                           

                               

A Starfield player has successfully accomplished one of the weirdest runs we've heard of yet - finishing the game by only whacking enemies with their gun.

The premise of the challenge is as simple as it sounds: the only attacks allowed are with the butt of a gun (no melee weapons allowed, obviously), and no companions are allowed to accompany the player except when the story requires it. The player must also be on 'Normal' difficulty, and is freely allowed to damage enemy ships via conventional methods in space combat.

With those rules established, Causal Loop on YouTube had at it. They created a parody character of Fallout: New Vegas's pistol-slinging Joshua Graham (dubbed Goshua Jam), and went with the 'Bounty Hunter' class since it gives them a Booster Pack, perfect for jumping out of a jam (a Goshua Jam, even) very quickly.



Causal Loop hits the ground running with a pistol, since it gun bashes quicker than other, heavier weapons. They also note that spamming gun bash mercifully doesn't drain the player's oxygen levels, unlike Fallout, so you can pistol whip enemies to death repeatedly without worrying about suffocating.
