Night City has several examples of unique rapid-fire weapons that are a great addition to any build that aims to deal maximum damage in the shortest amount of time.
Cyberpunk 2077 is not a game that will wait for your development. Night City moves, lives, breathes, and if you just stand in the way, then someone will definitely run into you or run over you. In this merciless world no one holds a hero. So it goes without saying that in open combat, enemies are unlikely to give you a head start.
There is only one way out of this madness - to be as violent, as well as V's enemies who are trying to take his life. And for this you definitely need a submachine gun. Its fire rate, lethality and special iconic effects will help you become the best mercenary on the streets of Night City.
Decided
A type: Submachine gun.
Class: Standard (power) weapon.
Feature: chance to apply the "bleeding" effect.
So, the oddity of this weapon is that someone wrote the word "cult" on it, but forgot to give it an iconic feature. The pistol can apply the effect "bleeding”, as well as many standard or legendary weapons that you can find or craft during your playthrough.
Just accept the fact that it's a weapon was never meant to be iconic. Damage comparison shows that the damage of this gun is very average, so if you found the "Reshala" by accident, then do not be upset by its performance.
Yinlong
A type: Submachine gun.
Class: Smart weapon.
Feature: electric shock damage and may shock the opponent. Deals additional electrical damage and has a chance to deal EMP damage in a radius.
Smart weapons and submachine guns seem like an incredibly effective combination. You want to use a gun that shoots tons of bullets, and that's okay, but it will miss a lot. Usage smart weapon solves the problem, because it will never miss, which eliminates one serious drawback of such a combination.
Electrical damage, shock and EMP also help, but this weapon has much less damage per second than other submachine guns. Perhaps in this way the developers tried to balance the homing function. Nevertheless, this is a great weapon for those who find submachine guns too inaccurate.
Prototype: Shinge
A type: Submachine gun.
Class: Smart weapon.
Feature: shoots explosive projectiles. You can target up to three enemies.
This is another smart submachine gunand it really has its own personality. Shooting explosive projectiles with the speed that this weapon gives out, just knocks down enemies. The cult ability allows aim at three enemies at once.
His damage per second even lower than Yinlong, but this problem also has a solution, because you can fight with three opponents at the same time. In addition, they will all be knocked down by the explosions, so you will be completely safe even when fighting against a small army.
Chainsaw
A type: Submachine gun.
Class: Standard (power) weapon.
Feature: comes with a unique modification that allows you to shoot through light cover.
There are not many things in this weapon that can be considered iconic. Just don't forget to take advantage of its special feature that allows your bullets punch through cover. Enemies will see your submachine gun and try to hide, eventually turning into light stationary targets.
It is a power weapon, so poor visibility is not a hindrance to you either. Just keep shooting and the rest will be taken care of ricochet.
Fenrir
A type: Submachine gun.
Class: Standard (power) weapon.
Feature: Deals thermal damage and has a chance to apply the Burn effect. High return. The spread of bullets is less, and the damage from hits is higher.
The penalty for this weapon is high returns, but it shouldn't scare you. The powerful effects that the developers prescribed for Fenrir fully compensate for this small inconvenience.
The real feature of this submachine gun is high bullet damage and additional thermal damage. Due to the high rate of fire almost any opponent will be guaranteed to constantly burn, losing an insane amount of HP.
Read on:If you do not like submachine guns, we recommend that you pay attention to shotguns, sniper rifles, revolvers or simple pistols. This unique weapon has no less pleasant bonuses.
