Cyberpunk 2077: Every Smart Weapon (& How to Get Them)

Smart Weapons are among the best items in CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077, but they are not all born equal. Which gun is the best?

Many players might have already beaten the game a couple of times, so they might be looking to spruce up the experience even further. The mods can add hours and hours of new gameplay, but also improve on the existing elements. From simple quality-of-life improvements to massive life-savers, the talented modding community has left almost no stone unturned.

10 Clear Skill Checks

Dialogue is absolutely paramount to the game, players can pick and choose their character’s opinions, as well as try and achieve their goals using their Cool stat. Often, the especially challenging dialogue lines might need more Cool points to use, and the game simply blocks the player from using that option, without actually saying how much they might need.

Certain players prefer to have a particular run and might be perfectly willing to go back and level up before attempting the dialogue again, but it might prove a nuisance to not know how much one is lacking. This mod neatly solves that by adding a secondary number to the icon.

9 Kiroshi Opticals - Crowd Scanner

Endorsements: 3,661

• Link to the Mod
• Created by Alien and BadAssGodFather

The Night City is vibrant and alive, full to the brim with characters from all walks of life, with their own problems, goals, and histories. While the main NPCs are fairly fleshed out, the general population is much less nuanced and detailed in the vanilla version.

Cyberpunk 2077: 6 Things You Need To Know About The Blackwall

Players may want to know a thing or two about the Blackwall when diving into Cyberpunk 2077.

This mod gives the player the ability to scan absolutely any NPC and see their description, affiliations, background details, and whatever else they might find. It adds so much to the immersion and breathes a lot of life into the characters and the city.

8 flib's UI Improvements

Endorsements: 3,863

• Link to the Mod
• Created by flib

Quests, Messages, and Item sorting can sometimes get quite hectic in the vanilla version. At times, the order seems completely arbitrary, and it can be a hassle to find that specific message or quest that the player needs.

This mod does a lot to sort all of that and more. Vendors, Dialer Menu, Inventory, etc are now neatly sorted, allowing players to spend much less time digging through their inventory and journals. It’s a neat addition that makes the overall experience with the game much more enjoyable.

7 Limited HUD

Endorsements: 4,131

• Created by DJ_Kovrik

There is a lot of UI in the game. Interestingly enough, the lore and the setting actually make them quite natural, given that many characters have literal implants that allow them to really see their own HUDs.

Cyberpunk 2077: 5 Best Ninjutsu Perks, Ranked

Players who want to become the ultimate ninja in Cyberpunk 2077 should snag these Ninjutsu perks.

Still, one might wish to pause it all, at least for some time. The city holds a lot of beautiful sights, and all those extra indicators can pull away from that. With this mod, players can enjoy the clean views as they travel, and only see the UI when they need it.

6 Phone Messages Overhaul

Endorsements: 4,394

• Link to the Mod
• Created by RMS

Even in the vanilla version, Messages add a lot of depth to the characters and the story itself. Not every conversation in the game is a direct dialogue, and quite a lot is being said through texts. Still, there is plenty of space to expand that conversation a lot further, and that is exactly what this mod achieves.

This mod adds hundreds of lines for almost every major NPC, adding a lot of lore-friendly stories, and really fleshing out some characters and relationships.

5 Real Vendor Names

Endorsements: 7,187

• Link to the Mod
• Created by DJ_Kovrik

Overall, the game doesn’t suffer from excessive backtracking when it comes to missions, which is always great to see in such a large game. However, certain NPCs, especially Vendors will be visited and revisited quite often, and it can be a little annoying trying to find that one place that a player needs.

Cyberpunk 2077: 8 Plot Threads The Game Leaves Hanging

Cyberpunk 2077 is filled with mysteries, and the Phantom Liberty expansion adds even more cliffhangers to certain plot threads.

This mod easily fixes that small nuisance, by altering the names of important locations to reflect the NPC that one might need, which can save a lot of time in the long run.

4 Better Loot Markers

Endorsements: 7,443

• Link to the Mod
• Created by rodikh

Looting is a major game mechanic, especially from an RPG standpoint. Through any given run, players will need to examine hundreds, if not thousands of crates, bodies, etc. The vanilla system doesn’t really let players quickly see what might be inside a container, making players examine every single one, even if ultimately they wouldn’t need most of the things inside.

This mod goes to great lengths to improve that experience, giving players all the basic information they might need at a glance, with custom icons to signify types of loot.

3 JB - TPP - Third Person

Endorsements: 11,724

• Link to the Mod
• Created by Jelle Bakker

For whatever reason, the game doesn’t have a third-person perspective, and many players really prefer to enjoy games from that angle. It can drastically change the way a player looks at combat, their character, and the world around them, and even help some with motion sickness.

2 Better Minimap

Endorsements: 12,136

• Link to the Mod
• Created by WillyJL

Not to say that the vanilla version is bad per se, but it could certainly use a few improvements. For one, Zoom has been requested quite a lot for the minimap, to make it easier for players to navigate in their immediate surroundings.

This mod adds a lot of customization to the minimap, from new functionalities to visual details. Overall it’s a small, but lovely mod to have in one’s collection, making traveling through the Night City a much more pleasant experience.

1 Mod Settings

Endorsements: 24,859

• Link to the Mod
• Created by Jack Humbert

Those interested in modding their game to whatever degree might find a great number of customizable mods they decide to install. Once a collection reaches a certain size, tweaking each one separately can take quite some time, and the process is far from easy or intuitive.

This mod adds a separate Settings tab that allows players to control each and every mod, changing their settings and preferences on the fly. It is a great quality-of-life improvement, especially for players who really enjoy modding their beloved RPG.
