Some of the best weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 are Iconic, but all the ones listed will allow players to enter into non-lethal runs so that they don’t kill everyone. Although every V has a little bit of Cyberpsychosis in them, one death might be inevitable down the line, especially when one considers how brutal these weapons can be in the right hands.

7 Gorilla Arms

Purchased from any Ripperdoc after level 10

Effects:

+4 to Body Attribute Checks

Deals Physical Damage

10% Bleeding Chance

Classic and reliable replacements for natural limbs, suited for all kinds of hard labor.

Cyberware is essential to life in Night City. Players who are looking for the best Cyberware can find it with the Gorilla Arms, which act as a passive weapon that directly attaches to the arms of the player. Gorilla Arms hit hard and can be used during fistfights to demolish bones and keep enemies alive. Gorilla Arms is a great melee choice against Cyberpsychos and enemies that just need to be beaten up without the cost of their lives. They hit hard and fast and can be even better with the best Cyberpunk 2077 Attributes.

6 Caretaker’s Spade

Found during Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door quest

Effects:

Increases Health Regeneration by 100% After Hitting an Enemy

Resembles an ordinary shovel from a different dimension.

The Caretaker’s Spade won’t be in the hands of players until the last mission in Cyberpunk 2077, but it’s well worth the wait. The weapon can heal players after they get a successful hit on an enemy. Just try not to hit too hard with this The Witcher 3 easter egg weapon, as it’s large, brutish, and able to take off heads if they’re not too careful.

5 Gold-Plated Baseball Bat

Cyberpunk 2077 Gold Plated Baseball Bat In The Ring

Found during the Second Conflict quest

Effects:

80% Chance for Bleeding

20% Stun Chance With Normal Attacks

25% Stun Chance With Heavy Attacks

Although it’s no katana, it did belong to a Samurai.

The legacy of the Samurai band may have been snuffed out too quickly after the death of Johnny Silverhand, but that doesn’t mean V can’t collect some impressive memorabilia. Players can take Denny’s iconic baseball bat, and enjoy swinging this gold weapon to hit their enemies with wealth and style, making sure the gangs of Night City will need to pay out for the health care needed after being beaten bloody.

4 Sir John Phallustiff

Found during Venus In Furs side job

Effects:

Additional Physical and Electric Damage

High Bleed or Shock Chance

Perfect for when someone is just asking to get ******.

This weapon is by far the lewdest and crudest. Sir John Phallustiff can only be used if they have managed to seduce Meredith Stout after keeping her in power at Militech. This weapon can be found on the bed in the aftermath of V and Meredith’s good time, and they can carry it with them as a reminder of their romp. Sir John Phallustiff is a lewd weapon, and one many enemies of V do not want to be beaten up with for obvious reasons. Although, if anyone deserves it, it's the darkest Cyberpunk 2077 character, Adam Smasher.

3 Tinker Bell

Found during The Hunt side job

Effects:

Reduced Damage by 30%

20% Chance to Instantly Knock Out Enemies With a Strong Attack

10% Chance For Shock Damage

One tap and you’re off to Neverland

Tinker Bell is a pretty disturbing weapon, as it was used by the notorious serial killer Peter Pan, who V and River Ward investigate to find and save the missing boys, including River’s nephew, Randy. Tinker Bell is found during this mission, and using a cattle prod to shock and sting enemies is a fate worse than any shotgun to the face, even worse than living in Dogtown.

2 Cottonmouth

Found in The Space in Between quest

Effects:

Deals Electric and Chemical Damage

Small Chance for Poison or Shock Damage

Many are quick to underestimate people who use a cane. Use that.

This electric cane can be found in Fingers’ clinic on Jig-Jig Street. The weapon proves that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Cottonmouth is a brutal weapon for brutal difficulties, and players can whack and smack their enemies until they are incapacitated, writhing around wishing they left V alone.

1 Skippy (Puppy Loving Pacifist Mode)

Found on a corpse in Vista del Rey, Heywood

Effects:

Randomly firing outside of combat

Randomly firing when aiming down sights

Randomly Missing all enemies

Puppy-Loving Pacifist means Skippy shoots for the limbs

Stone Cold Killer means Skippy shoots at the head.

A smartgun with a unique voice-over interface. Slightly unpredictable.

In order to use Skippy, players will need a Smart Link Cyberware attachment for their hand to enable smart-targeting. Once Skippy has been found, players can enjoy the sheer level of humor that comes from having a talking gun. Skippy is beloved by fans, and when players find it, they will need to choose between two firing modes.

For passive players, they will need Puppy-Loving Pacifist. This means Skippy will automatically fire at enemies legs to incapacitate them. Whilst they may never walk again, at least they will be alive. It’s one of the rare guns that means enemies can live. However, after 50 kills, Skippy will switch to Stone Cold Killer, so if players want to permanently keep the pacifist mode, they need to select the Stole Cold Killer mode to begin with.
