Players now have access to new weapons and modifications that alter the performance of many Iconic weapons. Additionally, some of the new pistols introduced in the Phantom Liberty DLC rank among the best weapons in the game to suit many Cyberpunk builds. This list has been updated to incorporate these new stats and additional weapons for handgun fans in Cyberpunk 2077. <br><br><br><br><br><br>Players know Dexter Deshawn as an influential fixer in Night City, and it's easy to see why he's "at the top of his game" after players meet him during the game's prologue. Love him or hate him, it's hard to deny that Dexter is a man with power, money, and influence. <br><br><br>His signature weapon, Plan B, is just as high-dollar as he is. The Power Pistol features an iconic perk that increases its chance to apply the bleed status effect to enemies, and it has "unlimited ammo" for those with overflowing pockets. Instead of using Pistol Ammo, Plan B will siphon through the players' Eurodollars . It's not recommended for those low on cash, but for players who have heavy pockets and watch to inflict DOT via bleed , it's a great choice. <br><br><br>The Plan B Pistol is acquired by completing the "The Heist" mission. After the scene where Dexter betrays V and attempts to kill him and leave him for dead in the Junkyard, a scene will show Dexter getting executed by Takemura. <br><br><br>V will need to return to the junkyard on the Eastern side of Night City on the border of the Badlands. Dexter’s body will be laying on the ground, so simply loot him to acquire it. <br><br><br><br><br>Rarity: Rare/Iconic <br><br><br><br><br>20.31 damage <br><br><br><br><br>3.75 shots per second <br><br><br><br><br>Clip Size: 12 Rounds <br><br><br><br><br>Attachments: Empty Scope Slot, Empty Muzzle Slot, and Empty Mod Slot <br><br><br><br><br>Mod Slots: 1 for the Rare variant and 4 for the Legendary variant <br><br><br><br><br>+200 Percent Headshot Damage Multiplier <br><br><br><br><br>+12 Percent Bleeding Damage <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>It pays to keep friends close and enemies closer, as players will find out during the Second Conflict mission if they're "pals" with Dum Dum. When Jackie and V perform The Pickup, they have the option of starting a firefight with The Maelstrom or joining forces to help them escape. Those that stick close to Royce's associate Dum Dum (and manage to keep him alive during the ensuing battle) will be rewarded with Doom Doom after all's said and done. <br><br><br>This unique handgun fires four shots at the cost of one and has an increased chance to dismember limbs from foes. It also boasts an increased rate of fire and damage, but all of this comes at the cost of additional weapon recoil and bullet spread. <br><br><br>The Doom Doom can be acquired during the Second Conflict quest. It needs to be looted from the Maelstrom gang member known as Dum Dum. It’s part of the major side jobs that involve Kerry . At the end of the Second Conflict mission, knockout or kill Dum Dum as he’s waiting for V. He will be talking to Nancy on the couch. <br><br><br><br><br>Rarity: Rare/Iconic <br><br><br><br><br>213 Damage <br><br><br><br><br>6 Attacks Per Second <br><br><br><br><br>Clip Size: 6 Rounds <br><br><br><br><br>Attachments: Empty Scope Slot, Empty Muzzle Slot, and an Empty Mod Slot <br><br><br><br><br>Mod Slots: 1 for the Rare variant and 4 for the Legendary Variant. <br><br><br><br><br>+150 Percent Headshot Damage Multiplier <br><br><br><br><br>+25 Percent Armor Penetration <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Those that learn to harness the concept of chaos will truly succeed in Night City. This rare and iconic pistol from Maelstrom frontman Simon "Royce" Randall is a true personification of all things crazy, coming with a unique perk that "randomizes" some of the gun's stats after each time V reloads . Damage type, status effects, and critical hit chance will all flip-flop as players make their way through each clip. <br><br><br>The Chaos Pistol needs to be obtained by looting Royce . It's only possible to obtain it during " The Pickup " story mission, by enraging Maelstrom's associates and causing an all-out gunfight with the gang. Players that want a better variant can unlock the Edgerunner Artisan perk and craft a Legendary Chaos. <br><br><br><br><br>Rarity: Rare/Iconic <br><br><br><br><br>39.5 Damage <br><br><br><br><br>3.85 Attacks Per Second <br><br><br><br><br>Clip Size: 12 Rounds <br><br><br><br><br>Attachments: An Empty Scope Slot <br><br><br><br><br>Mod Slots: 1 for the Rare variant and 4 for the Legendary variant <br><br><br><br><br>+150 Percent Headshot Damage Multiplier <br><br><br><br><br>+50 Percent Armor Penetration <br><br><br><br><br>0.5sec Charge Time <br><br><br><br><br>+10 Percent Bleeding Chance <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Maiko isn't exactly the friendliest of faces in Night City. Most players abhor their encounter with her and are instantly put off by her "holier-than-thou" attitude. But it's easy to understand why someone as powerful and influential as Maiko would "feel untouchable." Most players will likely want to avoid dealing with the Tyger Claws' associate but those that scoff at side jobs pertaining to Judy Alvarez and Clouds, as a result, will miss out on a unique and entertaining pistol. <br><br><br>The Death and Taxes pistol is found in Maiko's office during the side job, " Ex-Factor. " Death and Taxes has a unique perk that splits its projectiles into two parts, allowing them to strike targets twice. It boasts increased Electrical damage as well, making it perfect for anyone keen on that damage type. <br><br><br><br><br>Rarity: Rare/Iconic <br><br><br><br><br>87.21 Damage <br><br><br><br><br>1.21 Attacks Per Second <br><br><br><br><br>Clip Size: 10 Rounds <br><br><br><br><br>Attachments: An Empty Scope Slot, Empty Muzzle Slot, and an Empty Mod Slot <br><br><br><br><br>Mod Slots: 1 for the Rare variant and 4 for the Legendary <br><br><br><br><br>+125 Percent Headshot Multiplier. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>One of the best iconic pistols available in Cyberpunk 2077, the Dying Night is also the first one many players will come across. The Dying Night shines during the early game, offering players a much faster reload time than other pistols and increasing headshot damage by 125 percent . It's a sharpshooter's dream will carry players that favor pistols far into the starting hours of Cyberpunk 2077 . <br><br><br>The Dying Night is given to V by a Weapons Dealer in Act 1. Simply stop by his shop on the way to meet Jackie Welles during the game's Prologue. He will then inform V that his .45 is ready. Those that skip "The Gun," and head straight towards Jackie will miss out on this unique handgun. <br><br><br><br><br>Rarity: Rare/Iconic <br><br><br><br><br>37.13 Damage <br><br><br><br><br>5.56 Attacks Per Second <br><br><br><br><br>Clip Size: 21 Rounds <br><br><br><br><br>Attachments: An Empty Scope Slot and an Empty Muzzle Slot <br><br><br><br><br>Mod Slots: 4 for the Legendary variant <br><br><br><br><br>+125 Percent Headshot Multiplier. <br><br><br><br><br>+25 Percent Armor Penetration <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>The Pride pistol has a good chance of landing critical and headshot damage and the bullets can ricochet off surfaces. It has two slots for a scope and a muzzle as well as four mod slots. In addition, the Pride can also inflict the Stun status and with high damage points, it is capable of taking down even the toughest foes. <br><br><br>Pride is an Iconic pistol that can be collected during the " Knocking on Heaven’s Door " quest after Adam Smasher kills an important character in the Cyberpunk 2077 story during the mission. <br><br><br><br><br>Rarity: Legendary/Iconic <br><br><br><br><br>89.76 Damage <br><br><br><br><br>3.75 Attacks Per Second <br><br><br><br><br>Clip Size: 12 Rounds <br><br><br><br><br>Attachments: An Empty Scope Slot, Empty Muzzle Slot, and an Empty Mod Slot. <br><br><br><br><br>Mod Slots: 4 for the Legendary variant. <br><br><br><br><br>+150 Percent Headshot Multiplier. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Despite the gun's unusual looks and surprisingly low damage range, it’s still one of the best in the game. When it is fully charged, the Lizzie pistol can fire off a burst of five shots of four bullets at once. <br><br><br>This means that the Lizzie gun can shoot 20 projectiles at once .
