Hercules 3AX is one of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty’s best weapons for a multitude of reasons. Not only does it hit hard and fast, but it has poison bullets, and a smart-link capability without the need for players to use one in their Cyberware slot. If players want to get their hands on this missable iconic weapon in Cyberpunk 2077, then they are going to need to access the Roads to Redemption Gig.

Found During Roads To Redemption Gig

After completing one of the most important missions in Phantom Liberty, Firestarter, players will receive a text from Mr. Hands about a terrorist who wants to ensure no more people die. This will begin the Roads to Redemption Gig, in which players can start the Gig by venturing to the EBM Petrochem Stadium.

Follow the objectives necessary to find a way into the stadium’s weapons factory. The easiest way to do this is to stick to the left and stay crouched to avoid enemies. Players can easily do this through stealth, but if they want to, they can just kill everyone inside, as it won’t matter for the mission or the missable Iconic weapon Hercules 3AX if players have alerted people or not.

Once players make it to the elevator, they are going to want to head right and then left to follow down some stairs. Once down here, follow forward past the worker who is looking at some Arasaka machinery. Take a right through the double green doors, and a right again through the rubble and bunk beds. If players follow down this corridor, they will find two Barghest enemies at the shooting range and another larger one through the door.

After going through the door, and taking care of the enemies, players can find Hercules 3AX to the left, in a makeshift gun range. The weapon will be in a crate in the middle, along with plenty of delightful ammo to pick up.
