One of the best Iconic weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 was the Kyubi, a Power Assault Rifle capable of some awesome abilities. Now that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has been released, the expansion has provided players with an upgraded version of the Kyubi, and players can easily access the Kyubi XMOD2 by venturing to Dogtown. This is an Iconic weapon that is not missable, like many of Cyberpunk 2077’s Iconic weapons.
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.
It wouldn't be Night City without constant advancements in warfare, and despite the Kyubi being in reference to the nine-tailed mythical fox, technology is as invasive as ever in Cyberpunk 2077, so it was inevitable that it would receive an upgrade. Yet, this is an upgrade worthy of getting, as the Kyubi XMOD2 can easily be one of the best weapons in the game, provided that players don’t drown in trying to retrieve their great prize.
Head to the Pond Outside the Roar of Eden
Once players arrive in Dogtown, they can fast-travel to the Golden Pacific area, which is located fairly close to the EBM Petrochem Stadium. The image below showcases the exact area that players want to go. Once here, players will see in front of them a statue of a lion at the Roar of Eden building, and to the right, another lion at the Pride of Eden Casino.
All players need to do is head forward, until they reach the Roar of Eden, and locate the pond that is slightly to the left. Once at the pond, players need to jump in and swim to the bottom of this murky pond toward the center.
Follow the green smoke at the bottom to find a dead body, held down by cement and a cable to remain here in an eternal resting place. Beneath the corpse is the Kyubi X-MOD2 Power Assault Rifle. Players can now ascend, holding the A/Space/X button and looking up to reach the surface before they drown, and then simply mantle out of the water from the ledge.
This video below will help players find the Kyubi X-MOD2 in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty:
