The video comprehensively explores the different categories of guns in Cyberpunk 2077: power guns, tech guns, and smart guns, alongside their unique attributes, mods, and best use cases. Power guns are noted for their versatility and modifiability, with the Ricochet feature and various powerful mods, like the firecracker; they are suited for classic shooter experiences. Tech weapons, including high-powered electromagnetic rail guns, offer unique advantages such as shooting through walls and bolt shots for significant damage but require charging and precise timing. Smart guns, benefiting from gyro jet technology and smart Link cyberware, function as self-guided missiles ideal for netrunner builds, though they sacrifice power for ease of use. Notable mentions include the Breakthrough sniper rifle for its ability to shoot through walls without charging and the Yinglong SMG when combined with cyberdeck abilities for increased damage. Throughout the video, the speaker underscores the importance of selecting the right weapon to match playstyles and provides insights into optimal weapon modifications to enhance gameplay.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the three main categories of guns in Cyberpunk 2077: classic power guns, tech guns, and smart guns. The focus is on classic power guns, which use traditional ammunition and are versatile and modifiable. These guns can be stealthy when equipped with silencers and certain perks, making them effective for stealth kills. The Ricochet feature of power guns allows bullets to bounce off surfaces, potentially hitting targets indirectly. However, the speaker suggests that investing heavily in Ricochet might not be as worthwhile compared to other options like explosive rounds or enhancing recoil reduction.

In this part of the video, the focus is on modifications and power weapons in a game, specifically detailing various powerful weapon mods and their effects. The iconic firecracker mod is highlighted for its explosive rounds that deal splash damage, but choosing this locks out other Chimera mods. The segment emphasizes the importance of selecting the right weapon type for your playstyle. It lists top picks for power weapons, like the Pride pistol and Buzzsaw SMG, and outlines specialist groups for enhancing proficiency, such as shotguns for a tanky soldier or snipers for stealthy tactics. The versatility of power weapons is praised, noting their suitability for a classic shooter experience. Tech weapons are described as high-powered electromagnetic rail guns that can shoot through walls but require charging time.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses various types of guns and their specific attributes in a game. The longer charge times are typically associated with powerful sniper rifles, which provide significant gameplay advantages but cannot be silenced for stealth purposes, except for one special pistol obtainable through a specific game ending. Other tech weapon mods enhance firing speed, power, and effects like EMPs and bolt shots, which require precise timing for extra damage. The Chimera cor wall puncher mod significantly boosts weapon charge without penalties, making tech weapons highly effective for high-damage gameplay. Furthermore, tech weapons gain added versatility with bolt shots and chain lightning effects at higher levels, although fewer tech weapons exist compared to power weapons. Various notable tech weapons are highlighted, including pistols, revolvers, and shotguns, each with unique features tailored to different combat scenarios.

In this segment, the video discusses two types of weapons in the game: the Breakthrough sniper rifle and smart guns. The Breakthrough sniper rifle can shoot through walls without needing to charge and can also ricochet shots, but it requires high accuracy. Smart guns, on the other hand, use gyro jet technology to function as self-guided missiles, hitting targets within their general vicinity. These require the smart Link cyberware to function properly. While smart guns are easier to use due to their auto-aiming capability, they also tend to be weaker than other types. The segment suggests that smart guns are best utilized in a net gunning build, synergizing with cyberdeck abilities. Smart weapons benefit from perks in the intelligence attribute rather than those focused on recoil and aim. The video highlights various synergies, such as using the Yinglong SMG with cyberware malfunction hacks to significantly boost damage and employing the shingun Mark 5 prototype with the contagion quick hack for explosive results. The video also mentions specific smart gun mods like gambera and Panorama for enhancing bullet speed, power, and reticle size.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various smart gun mods and their effectiveness. The head Hopper mod stands out for its ability to shoot multiple targets, lock on faster, and increase headshot damage, though it is a rare drop or vendor item. The speaker also mentions the smart Chimera mod, “homy,” which is less effective but offers a 5% chance to upload a random hack. While head Hopper is the go-to Smart Mode, the speaker notes that these guns can’t be silenced or scoped, making stealth difficult. They highlight standout smart guns like Skippy, Yinglong, and Shingun Mark 5 for different uses, such as entertainment or explosive endgame fun. The segment emphasizes the versatility and usefulness of these weapons in various gameplay styles, particularly for net runners. Lastly, it briefly touches upon power weapons’ versatility and tech weapons’ precision, labeling them as the most classic and most powerful, respectively.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the different types of guns used in open non-stealth combats, highlighting the unique characteristics of power, tech, and smart guns. Power guns are described as classic, tech guns as the most powerful, and smart guns as the most synergizing, especially for netrunners. The speaker mentions considering a future ranking video specifically for smart guns based on viewer requests and encourages viewers to subscribe for updates.
