What Are Iconic Weapons?

Iconic weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 are unique firearms and melee weapons distinguished by special attributes and effects not found on standard gear. These weapons often lack mod slots in their base versions, but their distinctive perks make them highly sought after. With the Phantom Liberty expansion, new iconic weapons featuring the “x-MOD2” suffix were introduced, which come with two guaranteed mod slots and improved handling.

Iconic weapons can be acquired through various means across Night City. Some are tied to specific main story quests, while others are rewards for completing side jobs. Certain iconic weapons can only be purchased from vendors, found as loot from high-value targets, or discovered in specific locations. It’s important to note that many iconic weapons are available only once under specific conditions; missing an opportunity to obtain one may mean it’s gone unless you restart. While their base damage and DPS can vary based on your progression and upgrades, their unique special attributes always remain constant.

Iconic Weapons from Main Jobs

Many iconic weapons are directly linked to the main story progression of Cyberpunk 2077. These items are often acquired during critical moments or by defeating specific characters within these quests. Keeping an eye out during these missions is essential to ensure you don’t miss them.

Here’s a list of iconic weapons obtainable during main job quests:

  • Kongou (Power Pistol): Found during “The Heist.” It can utilize ricochet technology even without cyberware, offers reduced recoil, and an increased rate of fire, though it has a small magazine.
  • Lizzie (Tech Pistol): Acquired during “Automatic Love.” This pistol fires an extra round per shot and increases the number of rounds fired when fully charged, boosting the chance to apply damage-related status effects by 5%.
  • Chaos (Tech Pistol): Obtained during “The Pickup.” Its crit chance, damage type, and status-effect application randomize after each reload.
  • Satori (Katana): Located during “The Heist.” It reduces base damage but significantly increases Crit Damage by 500%.
  • Cocktail Stick (Katana): Found during “Automatic Love.” Described as looking like a toy but cutting like a laser.
  • Cottonmouth (One-Handed Club): Acquired during “The Space In Between.” This electrically charged club deals Electrical and Chemical damage, with a small chance to apply Poison and/or Shock.
  • Widow Maker (Tech Precision Rifle): Found during “Ghost Town.” This rifle fires two projectiles per shot and deals Chemical damage with an increased chance to apply Poison. Charged shots deal more damage.
  • Jinchu-Maru (Katana): Obtained during “Play It Safe.” Grants 100% Crit Chance while Kerenzikov is active, and the last strike in a combo deals double damage. It also doubles damage against enemies with twice your current Health.
  • Prototype: Shingen Mark V (Smart SMG): Acquired during “Gimme Danger.” Fires explosive rounds, and its modified automated targeting system guides bullets to up to 3 targets while aiming. Hitting a target reduces damage received from them by 20% for 10 seconds.
  • Prejudice (Power Assault Rifle): Found during “For Whom The Bell Tolls.” This assault rifle fires piercing projectiles.

Iconic Weapons from Side Jobs

Beyond the main storyline, many iconic weapons are exclusive rewards or discoveries within Night City’s numerous side jobs. These missions often lead to unique encounters or hidden stashes containing these powerful items.

Some iconic weapons found during side job missions include:

  • Dying Night (Power Pistol)
  • Sir John Phallustiff (One-Handed Club)
  • Skippy (Smart Pistol)
  • Overwatch (Power Sniper Rifle)
  • Malorian Arms 3516 (Power Pistol)
  • Gold-Plated Baseball Bat (Two-Handed Club)
  • Archangel (Power Revolver)
  • Tinker Bell (One-Handed Club)
  • Divided We Stand (Smart Assault Rifle)
  • Crash (Power Revolver)
  • Tsumetogi (Katana)
  • Scalpel (Katana)
  • Fenrir (Power SMG)
  • Stinger (Knife)
  • Apparition (Tech Pistol)
  • La Chingona Dorada (Power Pistols)
  • O’Five (Power Sniper Rifle)

Other Iconic Weapon Sources

Not all iconic weapons are tied to specific quests. Some can be found as loot from high-value targets, purchased from specific vendors, or discovered in various locations throughout Night City, sometimes left behind from past missions or interactions.

  • Buzzsaw (Power SMG): This iconic weapon is a loot drop from high-value targets.
  • Plan B (Power Pistol): One of the iconic weapons that can be found scattered around Night City, potentially from past missions or people you’ve interacted with.
  • Mox (Power Shotgun): Another iconic weapon that can be found in various locations within Night City.

Phantom Liberty Iconic Weapons

The Phantom Liberty expansion introduces a new set of iconic weapons, many of which are exclusive to Dogtown. These can be acquired through main missions within the expansion, purchased from vendors in Dogtown, found during side jobs, or collected from Airdrops, Increased Criminal Activity spots, and Gigs.

Examples of iconic weapons from Phantom Liberty include:

  • Order (Tech Shotgun): Can be purchased from Herold Lowe (Vendor). Charging this weapon above 66% vaporizes enemies, leaving an EMP trail.
  • Carmen (Power Assault Rifle): Can be purchased from Herold Lowe (Vendor). Shots to limbs have an increased Crit Chance, and weapon handling improves while running, jumping, or sliding, simultaneously increasing damage and Bleeding.
  • Hawk (Power Assault Rifle): Acquired during “Lucretia My Reflection.” Headshots temporarily weaken and mark enemies, making them move slower, unable to use abilities, deal less damage, and more prone to losing their balance.
  • Ol’ Reliable (Power Revolver): Found during “Shot By Both Sides.” Swapping to this weapon greatly increases headshot damage and effective range. The farther the target, the greater the headshot Crit Chance.
  • Dezerter (Power Double-Barrel Shotgun)
