For those looking to up the ante when it comes to Cyberpunk 2077's challenge, then check out these brutal quests.

For the more perceptive though, there are a slew of special weapons that are hidden in some of the most important quests in Cyberpunk 2077. It can be easy to miss these, and once players have passed them there is no way to get back to collect the Iconic. Harder still, some are hidden behind specific quest choices. Players should be sure to keep an eye out for these killer weapons to make sure V is well-equipped for the dangers of Night City.

6 Satori

Location: Konpeki Plaza Landing Pad During The Heist

MixCollage-06-Jan-2024-02-22-PM-2251
  • Effects: Grants a Heavy Attack Leap
  • Guaranteed to inflict Bleed when attacking from a sheathed attack
  • If Nehan has inflicted Bleed, Satori causes hemorrhaging, regenerating health

'The Heist' mission at the end of Act 1 should be V's big break with Dex and Evelyn, but things quickly go wrong in Konpeki Plaza and force V and Jackie Welles to escape the hotel. In the rush to leave, players are likely to loot the body of the dead director of Arasaka and will find the Iconic knife Nehan.

V can take the stairs to an unlocked door, leading to a nearby helipad. Whilst there are two Arasaka guards up here, they shouldn't be an issue in stealth. On board Saburo's personal aircraft, players will find a legendary katana that pairs well with Nehan, each providing status effects that mirror each other.

5 La Chingona Dorada

Location: El Coyote Rojo at Jackie's Memorial

  • Effects: Head-shots increase Crit Damage by 10%
  • Head-shots increase Burn chance by 10%
  • Each Headshot restocks extra ammo when the pistol is swapped to

After 'The Heist' mission, V has a heart-breaking choice to make: what should the Delamain getaway car do with Jackie's body? While this decision is emotional, players might make a different call if they were to know about the La Chingona Dorada pistols waiting at the end of one of these options. If V sends Jackie home, they can be invited to his funeral where his mother will hand over the keys to Jackie's beloved motorbike.

Cyberpunk 2077: The 6 Most Exceedingly Rare Items In The Game (& Where To Find Them)

Cyberpunk 2077 is filled with a wide array of items. Here's a look at some of the most exceedingly rare and where you can find them.

Coming back to the site of the ceremony after the ofrenda, both of Jackie's golden pistols will have been placed carefully on top of his small memorial. Without knowing that these guns are here, players will never be able to use one of the best handguns in the game, which doubles as a stylish homage to V's partner in crime.

4 Psalm 11:6

Location: Crafting Spec dropped by Tom Ayer in Watson

  • Effects: Increased Magazine Size
  • Fires explosive rounds
  • 20% Burn Chance in a 3-meter radius

Some of the more repetitive side gigs in Cyberpunk 2077 are the Suspected Crime Activity missions. There are some standouts though, but it is easy for players to overlook these, or to sprint through them for the easy Eurobucks. One of these hidden missions is called 'Just Say No' and sees V tasked with neutralizing a Maelstrom boss named Tom Ayer and his crew. But fans should look carefully after taking Ayer out as he drops a blueprint that lets V craft one of the best damage dealers in the game.

Psalm 11:6 is a variant of the incredibly common Copperhead Assault Rifle, but this iconic weapon has an extended magazine and sacrifices its ability to ricochet in favor of explosive rounds that deal thermal damage in a large area. Paired with the Krenzikov cyberware, this is a frightening weapon that many have missed out on.

3 Gold-Plated Baseball Bat

Location: Looted From Denny's Pool During The Second Conflict Side Job

Gold-Plated Baseball Bat cyberpunk 2077
  • Effects: 80% chance of applying Bleeding
  • 20% chance to apply Stun on normal attacks
  • 25% chance to apply Stun on heavy attacks

Players will need to allow Johnny Silverhand to take control of V's body to make amends with some old friends in order to unlock the Second Conflict gig, which involves getting Samurai back together for one last party. Whilst the mission involves dealing with Maelstrom to pick up Nancy, players will eventually find themselves at Denny's mansion at the request of Kerry.

In frustration over the confrontation with Henry, Denny tosses her signature gold-plated baseball bat into her cement-coated pool before continuing to speak with V, and if the player never goes after it to pick it up then this amazing non-lethal weapon is lost. This is a must for any up-close and personal build.

2 Lizzie

Location: Server Room Under Lizzie's Bar

Lizzie Bar in Night City, location of Lizzie pistol
  • Effects: Fires an extra round per shot
  • Fires 5 total rounds on a fully charged shot
  • Deals 150% Headshot damage

After Act 1 of Cyberpunk, Night City opens up to V with dozens of interesting side gigs to explore. 'Automatic Love' is one of these, and lets players spend more time with Judy Alvarez. But hidden away in a side room when V speaks to Judy is a little gun that does big damage. Snooping around in Judy's private braindance booth before V speaks with the techie is the only way that players can collect this pistol— if V misses it, it's gone.

Cyberpunk 2077: How To Get Missing Iconic Weapons

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty gives players the opportunity to purchase Iconic weapons they missed thanks to a unique vendor.

If V does nab it though, Lizzie is a perfect sidearm for any mercenary. The gun fires at extra bullets in each spread and specializes in high amounts of thermal damage and bonus headshot damage. So while players may be preoccupied with wooing Judy, it is definitely worth looking for this hidden gem.

1 Sir John Phallustiff

Location: No-Tell Motel with Meredith Stout

meredith-cyberpunk-2077
  • Effects: 69% chance of a Critically Hit on Headshots
  • 69% chance to apply Stun on Heavy attack
  • Vibrating Controller

A very strange weapon that can be completely missed if players choose to betray Militech during 'The Pickup' is the one-handed club Sir John Phallustiff. The weapon has unbelievably good stats, with a 69% chance to do critical damage on a headshot and a 69% chance to stun with a heavy attack, but if players are wielding Sir John whilst playing with a controller, they will have to persevere through their controllers constantly vibrating.

As long as V sides with Meredith Stout from Militech, they will receive a text from her shortly after completing 'The Pickup' mission. Responding in a flirty way, they will see Meredith proposition V and ask to meet at a seedy motel. After an intimate cutscene, Stout has vanished and left only one item in the bed. Players should make sure to check the sheets for this blush-worthy weapon that is as embarrassing to wield as it is effective.
