Cyberpunk 2077 features a total of 25 Iconic Pistols that players can find and test against the gangs of Night City. Every Iconic Pistol in Cyberpunk 2077 is worthy of its own discovery to be mounted to V’s stash wall, and players will need to know where to find them and if they’re even worth the trouble.

- How to Get Plan B: Found in the Municipal Landfill after Act One on Dexter DeShawn's corpse.
Dexter DeShawn's very own pistol that was used to shoot V can later be claimed by V, and Plan B certainly shouldn't be a Plan B, but a Plan Z. It's not a good pistol in terms of damage output and speed, and the fact that players literally lose eurodollars just by using it shows that this can be left in the quiet life and not the blaze of glory.

- How to Get Apparition: Looted from Frank Nostra in War Pigs, or purchased from Herold at the EBM Petrochem Stadium if players did not choose the Corpo lifepath.
A Pistol that relies on players having low health is a weapon that is just not worth its asking price, especially since it means using some of the worst Cyberware to stop healing interference. Apparition might improve damage, fire rate, and reload speed, but that's only if players are a shot or two away from death.

- How to Get Catahoula: Random loot chance from Airdrops in Dogtown. (Phantom Liberty)
Catahoula is a pretty standard Pistol, and that's why it's not all that special when compared to other Iconic Pistols. It does the job, even if the job has a fairly slow fire rate. The default BARGHEST Iconic Modifier is also nice, but most players won't see a benefit to extended movement speed on kills.

- How to Get Kappa X-MOD2: Found within Eventide Resort & Spa, Dogtown, in a blocked entrance that requires 10 Body. (Phantom Liberty)
Smart Link weapons will always have a love-hcate relationship, as some might not want to invest in the Hands Cyberware to access the Smart capabilities of this Pistol. On top of being a Smart weapon, the only real intrigue comes from two mod slots that don't exactly offer much, but its Smart Link does benefit from a fast firing time and easy headshot.

- How to Get Lexington X-MOD2: Earn the 1st place prize in Shoot to Thrill from Robert Wilson.
A weapon with great handling cannot be saved by the fact that the only real benefit of this Pistol is the fact that it uses more attachments than other weapons, allowing for a further variety of play styles. It's a fairly average weapon not worth using over alternatives.

- How to Get Kongou: Looted from Yorinobu's Penthouse at the bed during The Heist.
Kongou isn't a necessary Pistol for the arsenal of V, and its main advantage of not needing cyberware to use its ricochet ability comes in at a rather pointless time considering the Hands Cyberware provides that technology fairly easily. The weapon itself also lacks an advantage to players, as who wants to shoot at the floor for trajectory instead of a headshot?

- How to Get Skippy: Found by a body in an alley at Vista del Rey, Heywood.
Who doesn't love Skippy? This AI-Pistol is fun to be around, especially with his love of music. Skippy provides an interesting weapon to players due to how it's a Smart Link pistol that uses two modes: Puppy Loving Pacifist (limb shots) or Stone Cold Killer (headshots). A gun that will only shoot specific areas is great, but the fact that players are locked into the opposite choice after around 100 kills makes it a lacking gun, especially after returning it to Regina.

- How to Get Riskit: Picked up from Bree Whitney in Shot by Both Sides. (Phantom Liberty)
Riskit requires players to risk their life, putting their very future on the line with each shot due to how Riskit requires low health to be more effective. At low health, players can see critical damage with every shot from the gun, but an Iconic Modifier that only kicks in during intense shootouts where death could be a bullet away, makes this one to keep in the stash and not in V's hands.

Watch Night City burn with Seraph, a Pistol that fires out bullets that have a chance to immolate enemies. Those affected with this this will have more damage dealt to them with each bullet fired, which can make for a pretty beefy choice of weaponry against high-health enemies, but not against much else.

- How to Get Death and Taxes: Found in Maiko Maeda's office in Clouds, or Judy's Apartment after Ex-Factor.
A rather lethal Pistol that's great for its damage output and handling, Death and Taxes provides decent damage especially when combined with a double tap to the head. However, getting taxed by losing health is pretty lethal to players, and while this can't kill players, getting to critical health while being shot just makes this weapon a tad more annoying, even if the benefit of poisoning enemies is nice.
