Iconic weapons of Cyberpunk 2077

Every firearm in Cyberpunk 2077 belongs to one of three technologies, and melee weapons form two more families:

• Power weapons fire conventional rounds, and their bullets can ricochet off hard surfaces to reach enemies behind cover.
• Tech weapons accelerate their projectiles electromagnetically. They can be charged before firing, and a charged shot can go through cover and walls.
• Smart weapons fire guided projectiles that lock on to targets. They work best with the Smart Link cyberware implant.
• Blade weapons, such as katanas and knives, and Blunt weapons, such as bats, batons and hammers, are the melee options.

The weapons below come from about a dozen manufacturers, from the megacorporations Arasaka and Militech to smaller brands such as Malorian Arms, Constitutional Arms or Budget Arms. Many melee iconics, and the odd custom gun, carry no brand at all; they are marked as unbranded in the table.

As a rule, an iconic weapon keeps the manufacturer and the class of the base model it is built on: a Militech pistol stays a Militech pistol, even with a unique name and finish.

7 of the weapons in this list come from Phantom Liberty, the expansion set in the Dogtown district of Night City. The others are found in the base game.
