9N67 Smartgun

Although its range of 40 and accuracy percentage of 49.3 percent are not as impressive as some other weapons, the N67 makes up for these limitations with its rate effect shattering shot that allows your rounds to break through even the most formidable armor.
8Microgun
The Microgun is a very cool-looking heavy weapon with solid, well-rounded stats. The Microgun has an accuracy percentage of 47.2 percent, a range of 40, a magazine capacity of 300, and a 350 rate of fire.

7The Negotiator

However, it is also considerably light for a heavy weapon, with a mass of 5.50, which allows you to do a bit more looting than you would with most other heavy weapons. And for all of these incredible stats, the Bridger will only set you back 8,190 credits.
5Auto-Rivet
The Auto-Rivet is certainly a strange-looking heavy weapon. However, for just 7,640 credits, you would be getting your hands on an imposing piece of weaponry.
It is among the lightest available heavy weapons with a mass of 4.5; it has an incredibly precise accuracy percentage of 63.10 percent; its range, fire rate, and magazine capacity are on the lower side, with 20, 15, and ten, respectively. However, with its overwhelming physical damage of 120, you won’t need that many shots on target.
4Ashta Tamer
The Ashta Tamer is a brilliant futuristic grenade launcher that is tied to one of the more interesting cities in the Settled Systems,Akila City, on the planet Akila. you may get your hands on this weapon during theEmpty Nest main quest.

When you add up these stats, the shattered shock is already up there as one of the best heavy weapons you can get your hands on, but it gets better. The most important stat is the shattering rate effect, which breaks through all armor.
2Reckless Bombardment
The Reckless Bombardment heavy weapon is an absolute masterpiece. It has 65.5 percent accuracy, 40 range, and 120 physical damage, which are all incredibly well-balanced stats.
The weapon also has the crippling rare effect, which deals an extra 30 percent damage to a target after every shot that hits them in the limbs.
1Poisonstorm
The Poisonstorm is a monstrous contraption of a weapon with admittedly decent stats all around. It does a meager ten physical damage, which is not ideal for a heavy weapon. It has a decent accuracy percentage of 56.1 percent and a range of 58.
The Poisonstorm’s best stat is its overwhelming 400 rate of fire, which can bombard your enemies with shots before they can retaliate. The poisonstorm also has a rare effect that randomly deals poison damage and slows your targets down, which is why it has its name.
