Our weapon recommendations and their requirements.
There’s plenty of them scattered throughout Night City.
This list includes weapons for each category that you could obtain both early and late inCyberpunk 2077.
For this, we recommend investing points into Technical Ability and unlock abilities in the Crafting skill tree.
M-179E Achilles
Rarity: Epic.
Details: This is a powerful weapon that can be further increased with a Scope Slot.
Always double-check to charge your fire to release a more powerful shot than usual.
How to get: it’s possible for you to obtain the M-179E Achilles Precision Rifle in different ways.
The price will vary depending on your level.
Widowmaker
Rarity: Rare/Iconic.
Details: This is an interesting one.
It actually fires two projectiles per shot, as well as dealing Chemical damage that can lead to Poison.
How to get: The Widowmaker Precision Rifle can be found during the Ghost Town mission with Panam.
Ashura
Rarity: Rare.
Inside you’ll find Ashura.
Lizzie
Details: We can’t recommend this weapon enough.
It also includes a Headshot damage multiplier and a chance to cause Burn on enemies.
How to get: This powerful pistol can be found during the Automatic Love main job.
Skippy
Rarity: Epic/Iconic.
Grab Skippy and follow the rather peculiar steps to set it up.
The weapon’s level scales with the player and it carries two mod slots.
Malorian Arms 3516
Rarity: Legendary/Iconic.
Details: The Malorian Arms 3516 is, hands down, one of the best weapons in Cyberpunk 2077.
It’s fast, reliable, and as stylish as its former owner.
Just get to the Ebunike with Rogue and defeat Grayson.
You will then be able to grab the Malorian Arms 3516 from the ground.
Cyberpunk 2077 best submachine gun recommendations
Similar to pistols, you shouldn’t be underestimating submachine guns.
Their quick fire and bullet spread can get you through anything, especially with high critical and elemental damage.
Just keep the high recoil in mind.
In the northern side of Watson near the docks you’ll find a monk speaking to himself.
Talk to him to begin the quest, and then storm the Maelstrom HQ.
Prototype: Shingen Mark V
Details: This is a jack of all trades.
We recommend you picking this up after the main mission that involves said location.
M251S Ajax
Rarity: Uncommon.
Details: This Assault Rifle carries a Ricochet functionality, as well as slots for Scope and Muzzle.
There’s also a Mod Slot in there for added bonus mayhem.
But before each one you’ll drink a shot.
Once it’s over, return to the NPC and you’ll obtain the assault rifle as a reward.
M2038 Tactician
Rarity: Legendary.
How to get: you’re able to find this weapon inside a chest in an enemy hideout.
You will immediately get a notice for crime activity.
Except a high Critical damage chance as well as Bleed.
Most importantly, it has a higher DPS than your regular shotgun.
But don’t fret, just scan the door lock on the left and choose the remote deactivation option.
