Cyberpunk 2077: The 15 Best Decisions V Can Make

Cyberpunk 2077 is full of choices that can directly impact V’s life and the lives of those around them. These are the best decisions players can make.

There’s nothing worse than discovering a potential powerhouse of a weapon, only to discover that there’s no way to get it than to go back through old save files. Whilst players can get the best iconic weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 that they missed from Herold in Phantom Liberty’s EBM Petrochem Stadium black market, it’s best to take the paths to get them naturally rather than paying an absurd fee of Eurodollars.

5 Erebus

Collect Blueprints From “Somewhat Damaged”, Then Complete “This Corrosion”

Whilst Erebus may have a lengthy process to unlock, it’s definitely worth it, and it’s an iconic weapon that players could easily miss if they are not careful. Erebus is locked to Phantom Liberty owners, and they must have decided to side with Solomon Reed during the campaign in order to progress the quest and continue down the path to unlock this weapon. As for the weapon itself, it's more than worthy of its iconic status.

Cyberpunk 2077: How To Get Erebus & Militech Canto Mk.6 (Blackwall Weapons)

V is given great power from beyond the Blackwall in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, provided they haven't missed the quest for these Iconic weapons.

The Erebus SMG uses an AI from beyond the Blackwall to talk to V, and upon killing, it will trigger an explosion that destroys the insides of people’s heads, leaving a horrific electrified death in its wake. The stats for the weapon are great, and it feels intense to use a Blackwall weapon.

4 Satori

Found In Saburo Asaka’s AV In “The Heist”

Whilst there are plenty of katanas to be found in Cyberpunk 2077, the Satori is perhaps the first one that players could miss, leaving them desperate for the best starting gear. It can only be found during The Heist, in which players need to venture up the stairs of the Arasaka penthouse to reach the helipad and find Saburo Arasaka’s personal AV, with the katana resting inside. As for the melee weapon, players can expect a sharp blade to aid them in their escape.

This signature weapon belongs to the CEO of Arasaka himself, so what better weapon to use when cutting down corpos? Satori also has unique abilities, allowing players to leap toward their enemies. These attacks provide bleeding to enemies and combined with Nehan, players will siphon health through the Haemorrhaging mechanic.

3 Sir John Phallustiff

Side With Meredith Stout & Complete "Venus In Furs"

A degrading weapon to be hit with, let alone killed by, Sir John Phallustiff is an imaginative weapon that has left its rightful place in the bedroom and instead takes to the streets of Night City for chaos and destruction. Players can wield this vibrating weapon after the Venus in Furs mission, in which they need to side with Meredith Stout to sleep with her and find this reward on the bed where they shared an experience with.

The best non-lethal weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 will help V keep a clear conscience as they go around beating the crooks of Night City bloody.

For controller users, Sir John Phallustiff will constantly vibrate, but it’s worth the cost, due to the fact that the Crit Chance of this weapon is increased by 69% for those aiming for the head, and strong attacks provide a 69% chance to be Stunned. It’s one of the best melee weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 for a reason, just mind the visual appearance.

2 La Chingona Dorada

Complete Jackie’s Ofrenda & Pick Up From El Coyote Cojo

Jackie’s pistol is the perfect blend of Japanese technology and Valentino style, and it’s the best way to honor a fallen friend. Players can only acquire this weapon if they decide to let Delamain deliver Jackie’s body to his family, and then attend his ofrenda at the El Coyote Cojo. It’s an emotional mission, and players can easily miss the weapon if they leave this bar and don’t come back, as 24 hours later, they can pick up his gun from his memorial.

Wielding Jackie’s pistol is a great way to show how much Jackie meant to them, and it also comes with some unique modifiers. La Chingona Dorada causes a 10% increase in Crit Damage on headshots, as well as a 10% Burn chance for 3 seconds, stacking up to 10 with each headshot. Ammo is even restocked on each headshot, showcasing the power of Jackie’s pistols, now in V’s hands.

1 Guts

Found Within Some Bushes Of Memorial Park, Corpo Plaza

If players want a slow-firing shotgun that hits like Adam Smasher, then look for Guts, which is arguably the best shotgun in the game. One close-range shot from Guts and enemies could lose all of their limbs, being reduced to a bloody torso. Guts is an incredible shotgun, even if trying to manage its slow fire rate and slow reload is a burden, just try not to leave anyone standing to make a reload obsolete.

Another factor that makes Guts so good isn’t just its absurdly high damage, but its buff, in which a kill will provide players with a 15% damage increase, and a 10% Crit Chance. Reload times and attack speed are also increased by 6.6% and can stack 5 times, providing players with an adrenaline rush of death.
