Weapon Types and suitable Attributes & Skills
You can carry as many weapons as your carrying capacity allows, but you can only equip three of them. Additionally, you can equip one Cyberware Weapon in your Cyberware Arm Slot: Gorilla Arms, Mantis Blades, Monowire, and the Projectile Launch System. Our detailed Cyberpunk 2077 Cyberware Guide tells you where you can either buy or find them for free.
Depending on which type of weapon you like best, it makes sense to specialize in specific skills. The following Attributes and Perk Trees are suitable for specific Weapon Types.
| Key Abbreviations | |
|---|---|
| CO | Cool |
| TA | Technical Ability |
Weapon Type and Perk Tree

The various firearms in Cyberpunk 2077 can furthemore be subdivided into different weapon classes, which allow for special playing styles, and which come with distinct features.
Weapon Classes in Cyberpunk 2077
Power Weapons
Power Weapons are the standard firearms in Cyberpunk 2077, but they still come with a unique feature: Fired projectiles can bounce off solid surfaces and cause damage as ricochets (basic probability of five percent). This effect can be increased with Cyberware for the hands: The Ballistic Coprocessor Implant increases the chance for ricochets, and bullets bounce up to two additional times (depending on the rarity level of the implant).
Now, this is still quite arbitrary in normal use. If you upgrade your Kiroshi Optic Implant with the “Trajectory Generator” Cyberware Mod, a preview of the possible trajectory of ricochets will be revealed when aiming with a suitable power weapon. This can be used to steer shots over walls at enemies hiding in cover, for example.
Smart Weapons
Smart Weapons are an excellent choice for operating effectively from cover or for hitting enemies hidden behind cover. If you have Smart Link Cyberware in your hands, it will activate the auto-targeting feature of the Smart Projectiles. Point a Smart Weapon at an enemy, and the targeted body part (sometimes more than one) will be marked with a square. Retreat back into cover or into rooms, and then shoot out – the bullets will find their way to the target by themselves. However, the marker will not stay on forever and depending on the situation, it has to be renewed by having a clear sight on the target (or on parts of the target).
You can also receive the Smart Link feature from Fixer Wakako as a reward for the side mission “The Gig”. However, there are Epic and Legendary variants that offer a better hit probability as well as better Crit Hit Chances.
The disadvantages of smart weapons are their relatively lengthy reload times (which can be resolved by using the “Lock and Load” perk in the Engineering Perk Tree, TA 9) and their lower damage output.
Tech Weapons
Tech weapons have a long reload time, but they offer a special feature: Holding down the fire button while using a Tech Weapon, charges up the shot and releases a powerful projectile that can penetrate cover and even walls. For example, if you’ve spotted enemies in adjacent rooms using the quickhack “Ping” (see our Hacking Guide) and you can see their shapes through the wall, you can shoot at them with a Tech Weapon. However, projectiles piercing through the wall will inflict less damage.
You can specialize in Tech Weapon usage with the right perks from the Engineering Perk Tree (Technical Ability). This extends to the point where Tech Weapons completely ignore any armor (Perk “Superconductor”, TA 20).
- Attention: Some Tech Weapons require a certain value in Body to be used effectively with minimal recoil.
Weapon Crafting & Ammunition
The Weapon Dealers offer Crafting Specs for Custom Weapons. You can find more blueprints while exploring Night City or by completing missions. The table further below shows you where to find the best Weapon Crafting Specs.
If you’re seriously into crafting weapons, you’ll have to invest quite a bit into the Crafting Tree (Technical Ability). However, so far we haven’t had the impression that this is overly rewarding – it is something for enthusiasts mostly. Unusual or Rare Weapons with very good damage values are constantly dropped as loot, which often outperform even Legendary Weapons by a wide margin.
Available weapons can be improved via “Upgrade” in the “Item Crafting Menu”, if you have enough of the right item components. You also need them to craft new weapons. You can get item components by disassembling items or buying them from the vendor.
- To obtain epic or legendary components from items, you will also need to disassemble epic or legendary items.
However, the benefit of an upgrade, i.e. the increase of a weapon’s damage output, is often not proportional to the component cost. In other words, if a new, uncommon weapon does more damage than a multiple upgraded legendary weapon with epic and legendary item components, the upgrade simply isn’t worth it.
Crafting mods, on the other hand, makes perfect sense, since the rarity is randomly determined during each crafting process. If you’re aiming for high values in the “Technical Ability” Attribute anyway, the “Waste Not Want Not” Perk (TA 16) comes in handy: Mods are no longer lost when you disassemble an item.
Weapon Dealers & Locations in Cyberpunk 2077
There are 20 Weapon Dealers in Night City and the surrounding areas that sell Melee Weapons, Firearms, Grenades, Mods and item components. Five of them are fully specialized in Melee Weapons and the corresponding Mods.
The table below lists all Weapon Dealers.

Weapon Mods
Using the right modifications, you can further upgrade weapons that have mod slots. Mods can be added to weapons in the inventory.
- While Attachments and Muzzles can be simply removed and screwed onto other weapons, pure Weapon Mods are permanently attached to the weapon. They can only be replaced or recovered when disassembling the weapon – assuming you have the perk “Waste Not Want Not” (Crafting, TA 16).
You can buy Weapon Mods at all Weapon Dealers.

Overview: All Cyberpunk 2077 Weapons & Crafting Specs
In the following charts you will find all weapons in their basic versions and, if available, the locations of legendary versions. Please note that the rarity is random when found in crates or corpses in the Open World. In addition, and if available, we link to the respective iconic variant with description, location and requirements.
Epic and legendary weapons available for purchase have been tagged with the Weapon Dealer’s number from the table above – you just have to go there, and be richer than rich, since the legendary purchasable weapons cost an unfathomable amount of Eddies.
- Tip: Whenever an iconic variant of a weapon is available, you should get that version instead of paying the insane prices of the dealers. As is often the case in Cyberpunk 2077, there is no good balancing here.
Regarding the table:
- Since the values of the weapons can vary, partly due to the character level, no exact numbers are listed here.
- Mod Slots vary depending on Rarity Level.
- Smart Weapons always require Smart-Link Cyberware.
- For the sake of clarity, we only list purchase options for Epic and Legendary weapons.
