Starfield: Assign Weapon To Group Error [SOLVED]

Here's how to solve the 'Assign Weapon to Group' issue in Starfield while you're constructing or upgrading your ship.

Players often don’t know how to select Starfield’s assigned weapon to the group while building their ships. That is mainly because Starfield’s UI is quite complicated. Players get confused when performing simple tasks in the UI.

IMPORTANT: You can only assign one type of weapon to one slot. Therefore, if you’re not sure which one suits you best, I recommend reading the weapon tier list in Starfield to find your pick.
Key Takeaways
  • The ‘Unassigned Weapons’ error in Starfield occurs when players have not assigned weapons to their slots.
  • Weapons can be assigned to Groups in the Weapons section in Flightcheck.
  • One type of Weapon in Starfield can only be allocated in one slot.
  • Assign weapons until the ‘1 ERROR‘ turns to ‘NOMINAL.’

What Is “Assigning Weapon To Group” In Starfield

The Weapon’s assign issue arises when you get the error ‘Unassigned Weapon: Ship has weapons that must be assigned to a group.’ Due to that, players can’t finalize their ships and go on journeys.

Although it isn’t a major problem that will have you spend hours solving, it can be tough to find. And that is only because the UI of Starfield can be a little complicated for players.

This concludes my guide on fixing the Starfield Assign Weapon to Group issue. If you haven’t gotten a ship, you can Steal Ships in Starfield. That way, you won’t have to buy the best ones or upgrade them. Furthermore, I suggest upgrading the Ship Storage in Starfield. Not only that, you can Dock Ships to any spaceship.
