Cyberpunk 2077: all unique pistols

There are a lot of great pistols in Night City, but these are definitely the best. Each of them is good in its own way, so we advise you to read the list to the end. You will definitely find the weapon that suits your playstyle perfectly.

If you play Cyberpunk 2077 right now, you realize that nothing beats a good gun. Whether it is configured for stealth, modified for damage in aggressive combat or for long range kills, you always have one in your inventory. He will help you get out of a lot of trouble.

The development team was aware of the importance of this type of weapon, and so when they created the iconic weapon, they made sure that there were as many pistols among them as possible. However, they are incredibly different, so take a good look at our list before leaving one of these barrels in your holster forever.

Plan b"

Class: Pistol.
A type: Power weapon (standard).
Ability: a chance to inflict the "bleeding" effect on the enemy.
Unique feature: increases the chance of getting bleeding effects.
The weapon fires in-game currency, not ammo.

Please do not use this weapon, and then your wallet will thank you. You will receive this weapon from Dexter DeShawn and hopefully you won't use it too often. Otherwise, this mistake can lead to bankruptcy.

The Plan B special effect is good for an assault rifle or submachine gun, but a simple pistol doesn't really have enough fire rate to count for bleed effects. A more serious problem is that you lose game currency every time you pull the trigger. It's hard to find money in Night City if you don't know the right way to make money. This means that you will have to stand with outstretched hand to get enough ammo for your pistol.

However, you should not completely abandon him, because he can save V's life. What could be better than a gun who receives ammunition literally from the air, if you run out of ammo?

Chaos

Class: Pistol.
A type: Electromagnetic weapons.
Unique feature: Crit chance, damage type, and effect change randomly each time you reload your weapon.

A game that touches on themes of anarchy and disorder, it becomes much better with a weapon called "Chaos". From the outside, its feature seems funny, because each store deals different damage. with a random effect. And it us really fun!

But the damage of this gun is terrible. Whoever designed this weapon must have thought the extra effects were enough to make it useful. As a result, the bullets do almost nothing in it. It's a funny weapon but the fun isn't worth being unable to kill enemies before they pounce on you. However, if you have a large number of implants for health and survival, then you can try to cause some chaos on the streets of Night City.

The fading of the night

Class: Pistol.
A type: Power weapon (standard).
Unique feature: Increases headshot damage by 50%. Reduces reload time.

Nightfall is a good pistol. But it is difficult to perceive it as a cult weapon. People who shoot a gun in the head usually use it before the start of the battle, because the enemies don't move too much. After that, it will be too difficult to headshot moving targets.

So the catch is that you probably want to put a silencer on it, but low base damage opposes this. As a result, even increasing the headshots will give a result not much better than average. Or you can leave the gun without a silencer, but then the noise from the shot will alert all opponents. As a result, a regular sniper rifle will be much more effective in a situation like this. The fading of the night is above average in efficiency, but the status of "cult" it received is clearly undeserved.

Genjiro

Class: Pistol.
A type: Smart weapon.
Ability: inflicts electric shock and may cause shock.
Unique feature: fires four shots per trigger pull; increased store size; increase in bullet speed; can hit up to six enemies.

Genjiro is a smart weapon, which means that the probability of hitting the enemy is quite high, even without careful aiming. AND he shoots four bullets every time, after pulling the trigger, so with the electrical damage it inflicts, you will inflict "shock" and kill the enemy with almost every clip.

Targeting six enemies sometimes works against you because in groups damage will be distributed evenlywhile keeping the enemies alive. The cooldown will take a long time, but the damage per second and the size of the magazine should help mitigate these nuances.

Pride

Class: Pistol.
A type: Power weapon (standard).
Ability: a chance to inflict the "bleeding" effect on the enemy.
Unique feature: chance to stun the target. Increased headshot damage and critical hit chance.

Here is a great universal cult weapon, which can be used in almost any situation. Need a spectacular headshot? You receive a bonus. Many enemies? Chance to stun. Big cool boss? Increased crit chance. Add in the bleed effect and bullet ricochets, and the result is a pistol suitable for any combat situation.

However, the damage of this weapon is not impressive., is nothing compared to most sniper rifles. If you ever intended to beat the game using mostly one weapon, the Pride would be a great candidate, but it only becomes available after a long walkthrough of the main story. Nonetheless, if after receiving this weapon you still have accumulated side tasks, you can deal with them quickly with this gun.

Lizzie

Class: Pistol.
A type: Electromagnetic weapons.
Ability: a chance to inflict the "burn" effect on the enemy.
Unique feature: adds one round to clip. Clips have more ammo when fired at full charge.

If you start using this pistol without reading the description, you will find yourself not understanding when you need to reload. Lizzie fires loaded shot after loaded shot and you just keep firing. Finally, you cleared a room of seven targets and Haven't fired the first clip yet.

This gun gives you more ammo if you shoot at full capacity. So what is it a good option for those who prefer the power of the rate of fire. If you hate reloading and know that constantly firing your pistol is the best way to get the most out of it, then be sure to visit Lizzy and borrow this gun... forever.

La Chingona Dorada

Class: Pistol.
A type: Power weapon (standard).
Ability: Deals thermal damage and has a chance to apply the Burn effect.
Unique feature: chance to stun the target on hit. Reduced reload time.
Additional slot for mods.

Jackie is your accomplice and friend who often got into trouble. Perhaps some of them happened because of the gold-plated pistol, which he received by fraud, like his motorcycle. After you see this gun, you'll want to Jackie shared it with V as early as possible.

Setting enemies on fire and stunning effects are just the tip of the iceberg. The reduced cooldown is also incredibly useful, especially if the targets are worth it. The damage of this pistol is well increased by the perk, but the real icing on the cake is the extra mod slot. With it, you can upgrade this weapon to incredible heights and make it the best in the whole game.

Congo

Class: Pistol.
A type: Power weapon (standard).
Ability: a chance to apply the "bleeding" effect on the enemy; reduced recoil and increased rate of fire; reduced store size.
Unique feature: allows the weapon to work without the mandatory cybernetics.

Kongo could potentially be the best power weapon in the game for your character. The legendary power of this weapon allows those who do not have the necessary cybernetics to use this pistol. If this is true for you, then thank fate for such luck. Many people consider this gun to be the best in the game.

Shop size has been reduced, but you won't care, because with him only a few successful shots are enough to destroy a group of three people. Reduced recoil and increased rate of fire turn this gun into a machine gun with excellent control. And the amount of DPS is impressive compared to other weapons.

Malorian Arms 3516

Class: Pistol.
A type: Power weapon (standard).
Ability: Deals thermal damage and has a chance to apply the Burn effect.
Unique feature: non-standard reload sequences.

For one brief moment in the game, you get a pistol (during a flashback dive) that just destroys everything in its path. At that moment, it seems he was brought into the game just for a spectacular action scene and demonstrating the possibilities of the world. But it's not. This gun is real. And you can get it.

Yes, Johnny Silverhand pistol will be available to you later in the story. The unique reload sequences are good too and definitely worth your attention. In real life, the gun seems to be as powerful as in the flashback, so you won't be disappointed.

Delusion

Class: Pistol.
A type: Electromagnetic weapons.
Unique feature: when the character's health is low, the rate of fire, reload speed and damage increase. Charged shots deal double damage.

This pistol has a really nifty feature that syncs with the protagonist's HP level. If your health drops, this weapon deals even more damage, increases reload speed and fire rate. This is a great feature if you ever get surrounded and the situation will look fatal to you, especially on higher difficulty settings.

Now forget about all this. If you're not a bad fighter, the enemies won't be able to deal enough damage to you, however and here the functions of the gun are not useless. Why? Because it An energy weapon that deals double damage with its charged shots. This is a one-hit kill of almost any enemy, especially if you wait until it is fully charged and get a x6 bonus to your damage.

Skippy

Class: Pistol.
A type: Smart weapon.
Ability: causes electric shock and may cause shock.
Unique feature: weapon stats are upgraded to the player's level. Can be either maximally lethal or non-lethal weapon.
Talks to you.

With Skippy You can make two big mistakes. First, after 50 kills, he will reprogram, to do the opposite of how you originally programmed it. Therefore, if you need a gun to effectively eliminate enemies, then choose "Pacifist" first", and then he will switch to "Cold-Blooded Killer". And yes, it's a smart weapon, which means every shot fired from it will land right on target.

The second mistake isthat you can turn it in as part of the quest and exchange it for in-game currency. You don't need enough money to get rid of what is considered the best weapon in the game. His stats are upgraded to level V! Besides, he is talking to you, so even if you don't need maximum damage, Skippy is perfect for a maximum immersion playthrough.
