The last broadcast of the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 lifted the curtain on the protagonist's arsenal. The game will have many different types of weapons, each with its own interesting features.
Much of Cyberpunk 2077's gameplay is dedicated to combat and combat. In their second presentation, CD Project Red talked about what V, the protagonist of the project, might have in the arsenal.
In total, the game will have 6 different types of weapons:
- Throwing. This group includes shurikens, knives, and other types of weapons that can be thrown at the enemy and thereby inflict damage on him.
- Cybernetic. A special weapon of our time, deadly and technological. Even in the early videos, the developers showed examples of such weapons, for example, a laser whip called "mono-thread".
- Melee weapon. Completely different examples can be included in this group, from an ordinary bat to a katana made by a skilled Night City craftsman.
- Power. Special weapons with an additional feature - the ability to ricochet. Perfect for kicking opponents around corners.
- Electromagnetic. Cartridges receive additional acceleration due to electromagnetic force. As a result, their lethal force and penetration increase.
- Smart (Self-guided). The cartridges themselves fly into the enemy, but minimal aiming is still necessary.
The last three groups demonstrate only the technical features of the weapon. These categories include types of firearms familiar to all gamers, such as assault rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, sniper rifles. However, they will all be "modified" to Cyberpunk levels.
Weapons will have different levels of availability: common, uncommon, rare, and legendary. Depending on the category, not only the cost increases, but also the lethal force. The most interesting group is legendary items. They will have their own unique look and unusual features.
How do I get a weapon?
Since Night City is a world of flourishing capitalism, withThe easiest way to get a killer gun is to buy it. Traders will be scattered all over the map, from whom you can get the coveted spiked bat or electromagnetic rifle.
An alternative way is to take weapons from opponents. It’s not a fact that it will be the highest quality and most interesting, but you can always replenish the set of “basic” weapons and ammunition. There will also be caches with loot on the map. They will help you get weapons at the start of the game, without going broke.
The hardest thing to get is legendary weapons. To do this, you will have to complete special quests, make the right acquaintances and fulfill additional conditions.
Weapon modification
Since Cyberpunk 2077 is a game about the future, upgrading weapons here is not the same as in other games. Modifications are carried out not so much with the help of body kits, but by installing new software.
By upgrading weapons with the help of software, you can increase their characteristics, change their appearance, or add special functions. Nobody canceled the classic body kits - there will be silencers, butts, special sights and much more. However, the key role is given to another type of modifiers.

- The developers have introduced non-lethal cartridges into the game. This makes it possible to complete the game completely peacefully, without a single kill.
- In order for the hero to deftly handle any type of weapon, it will be necessary to develop a passive skill in owning it. This ability is pumped in the process of using weapons of a certain group.
- Enemies will react to hits depending on the affected area. For example. the enemy can be stopped by shooting him in the knee or throat.
