While most of the guns you loot in the aftermath of Cyberpunk 2077‘s gunfights offer little more than slight statistical advantages over similar weapons, Cyberpunk 2077‘s open-world contains a variety of iconic guns that offer advantages you won’t find anywhere else. So if you’re tired of relying on the same selections of pistols, rifles, and shotguns, be sure to hunt down some of the best (and most enjoyable) weapons in Cyberpunk 2077.
Lizzie
Where to Find It: In the basement of Lizzie’s after completing The Space in Between.
Skippy
Where to Find It: At the question mark south of the College St. metro station in Heywood. One of Cyberpunk 2077‘s strangest weapons is this smart pistol with a built-in AI program that gives the gun its name. Not only can you set this gun to “Stone Cold Killer mode” or “Puppy-Loving Pacifist mode” (even if the pistol eventually seems to default to the latter option), but it actually scales in damage with your current level.
Widow Maker
Where to Find It: Kill Nash and loot his corpse during the Ghost Town mission. This incredible weapon not only boasts fairly high base DPS but comes equipped with the ability to fire numerous additional rounds in a shotgun-like pattern. Factor in its higher chance to apply poison to enemies, and you’ve got one of the most devastating late-game rifle options in Cyberpunk 2077.
Divided We Stand
Where to Find It: Complete the Stadium Love side job (or just kill everyone in the area of the quest and take it for yourself).
Gold-Plated Baseball Bat
Where to Find It: In the pool at Denny’s villa during the Second Conflict mission. This item’s absurdly high base damage (especially for a non-lethal melee weapon) is honestly the only reason you need to add it to your inventory. If you’re looking for a little extra incentive, though, then look no further than this bat’s bleed effects and chance to stun the target.
Overwatch Sniper
Where to Find It: Save Saul during the Riders on the Storm side job. This gun isn’t the most elaborate rifle in the game, but it’s absolutely one of the best for snipers looking for a go-to option that they can always rely on. This sniper’s incredible silencer, lightning-fast reload speed, and strong stats make it a dream come true for anyone who isn’t looking for a gun that does all the work for them.
Mantis Blades
Where to Find It: In a chest near the start of the Cyberpsycho Sighting: Phantom of Night City side job. You can also purchase this from certain Ripperdocs.
Malorian Arms 3516
Where to Find It: Take it from Grayson during the Chippin’ In side job. This iconic weapon is actually Johnny Silverhand’s personal pistol. Excellent lore aside, this gun quickly distinguishes itself through its high stats, fun animations, multiple mod slots, ricochet abilities, and an incredible melee attack that sees V quickly fire off a few rounds in a cone-shaped pattern.
Tsumetogi Katana
Where to Find It: Loot it from the room you meet Maiko and the Tyger Claw bosses in during the Pisces side job. Granted, this isn’t necessarily the most powerful melee weapon in the game from a pure stats standpoint, but there are times when you just want a good katana by your side. This sword’s base damage is high enough for melee players to justify using it, while the katana’s electrical boost and chance to shock the enemy ensures that it has the legs to carry you into the late game if you decide to stick with it.
Genjiroh Smart Pistol
Where to Find It: After you leave the elevator during the Play it Safe side job, open the coded door to your right. You should find the pistol in there.
