on

Update 2.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 is honestly quite surprising. It adds a lot of new content, even though most fans thought the release of Phantom Liberty and 2.0 was the end of the game’s support.

A lot of the new content is obvious, such as the vehicle overhaul and the new metro system. But there are also a lot of secrets and easter eggs to find!

In this guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about the new secrets and easter eggs you can encounter in this update.

All Secrets, Easter Eggs, & More in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1

Claw X-MOD2 Secret Axe

Claw X-MOD2 Secret Axe

One of the nicest things about the update is the new secret Iconic weapons, such as the Claw X-MOD2.

This axe is quite strong, and you can grab it by climbing a unique pyramidal building in Dogtown. Do note that Dogtown is only available to Phantom Liberty DLC owners, though.

MA70 HB X-MOD2 Secret Iconic LMG

MA70 HB X-MOD2 Secret Iconic LMG

Speaking of new weapons and Dogtown, there’s a unique helicopter crash somewhere in Dogtown as well.

Exploring it is well worth your time, as it will allow you to get the new secret MA70 HB X-MOD2 Iconic LMG. It’s quite a beast of a gun, and it’s pretty easy to get.

All 6 New Vehicles

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, one of the 6 new vehicles

There are 6 new vehicles for you to get in Update 2.1; 5 bikes and 1 car. The bikes can all be bought from any Autofixer terminal, you just need to have enough Eurodollars to pay for them!

The car can also be bought from any Autofixer terminal, but things don’t go quite as planned from the start. You’ll also need to complete a relatively short side job to get it!

Porsche 911 Coordinates Easter Egg

Porsche 911 Coordinates Easter Egg

While we’re on the topic of vehicles, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet has a very well-hidden easter egg in its quest.

You’ll get a seemingly random set of characters to help you track the car during the quest.

However, avid fans discovered that this isn’t gibberish; it actually translates to the coordinates of a real-life Porsche factory!

FF:06:B5 Monk

FF:06:B5 Monk

The FF:06:B5 mystery shook a certain part of the game’s fanbase once the game released, as it seemed to hint to at larger secret.

A big part of that secret were the Bhikku Monks, which would pray at the FF:06:B5 statue that started the secret!

Now, there’s a familiar-looking monk that you might encounter randomly as you ride the new metro system. Is he hinting that there’s still more to the mystery or is it just CD Projekt RED teasing the fanbase?

FURTHER READING: Cyberpunk 2077: Monk FF06B5 In Train Encounter | Update 2.1

Nibbles Takes The Subway?

Nibbles(?) in the metro

The monks aren’t the only easter egg you might find inside the metro. Sometimes you might see a Sphynx cat sleeping under the benches, usually accompanied by the monks!

It’s not really clear whether this is the beloved Nibbles, which V can adopt, or just another cat. Nonetheless, it’s a nice little easter egg.

FURTHER READING: Cyberpunk 2077: Nibbles Secret in Update 2.1

Sad Johnny Silverhand Easter Egg

Sad Johnny Silverhand Easter Egg

Sticking to the metro system, there is another easter egg you might encounter randomly.

Just like the FF:06:B5 monks, sometimes you’ll see Johnny Silverhand sitting on the bench in front of you.

However, our good pal seems to be somewhat sad for some reason. He’s also accompanied by an origami pigeon!

This is all a reference to a real meme that spawned from Johnny Silverhand’s actor, Keanu Reeves. CD Projekt RED didn’t miss the chance to give us this nice callback!

Secret Glen Encounter

Secret Glen Encounter

There’s one new secret encounter you might randomly encounter as you travel the Glen sub-district, more specifically around the Hanford Overpass.

You might hear some gunshots in the area. Follow the sounds and you’ll encounter some Tygers fighting a trauma team. This starts a small mission, where you will deal with waves of Tygers!

Secret Northside Watson Encounter

Location

The exact location where this encounter takes place is Northside Watson, near the Kabuki Market at the Pinewood Junction. So, travel to Kabuki Market fast travel point.

The encounter takes place on the CyberMatrix factory premises. Here’s the exact map location:

Secret encounter Northside Watson Map Location - CP 2077

Walkthrough

When entering the CyberMatrix facility from the main entrance, you might come across a group of NPCs jamming and standing near a car on the premises. From there, walk in the corridor that is walled off with a couple of industrial containers.

You’ll find an Arasaka member’s body near the blue and gray silos:

Where to find first Arasaka Member - Secret Enounter CP2077

Upon scanning the body, it will be apparent that the man’s data has been erased and that he’s missing an affiliation even though he’s got an Arasaka member outfit. Anyways, you will obtain the M-76E Omaha weapons from this individual. It’s an iconic tech pistol.

Deceased Arasaka Member M-76E Weapon - Cyberpunk 2077

There will be a lot of bloodstains around the body which would seem to suggest that there was more than one victim in what transpired. That is correct as it turns out, because when following the bloodstains, that lead between the containers, players will find another Arasaka member alive:

Second Arasaka Member Location - Secret Encounter CP2077

Second member exact location Secret Encounter - CP2077

Upon reaching the second Arasaka member on the CyberMatrix’s premises, they will be reluctant to engage with you and ask you you leave. This will happen a couple of times until they eventually lose enough blood and kick the bucket.

All their data will be erased similar to the first deceased member on the premises. You will also get a Neurotoxin Knife (Uncommon) and an archived conversation which will shed more light on what transpired.

SPOILER ALERT: Here’s the archived conversation in its complete form:

Archived Conversation – Masaru Sasaki & Katsuro Yoshida

Katsuro Yoshida: is this my end?

Masaru Sasaki: Yes

Katsuro Yoshida: who will Arasaka send after me?

Masaru Sasaki: You know already

Katsuro Yoshida: I understand…

Katsuro Yoshida: it will be a glorious battle, my friend

Katsuro Yoshida: to the last drop of spilled blood

Masaru Sasaki: To the very last

Masaru Sasaki: We were brothers in life

Masaru Sasaki: We will be brothers in death

BFC 9000 Secret Iconic

Location

The BFC 9000 can be found on a hostile NPC in Santo Domingo. To get there, use the Rancho Coronado East or the Woodhaven Street fast travel point. Here’s the exact location of the weapon:

BFC 9000 Marked map location Cyberpunk 2077

Guide

From the location we’re standing on in the map above, players will need to climb the Badlands Dam or better-known as the Coronado Dam. The one with the big Petrochem branding on it.

The hostile with the BFC 9000 is located on a rocky ledge on the right of the Petrochem Dam. So, all you need to do is climb and follow the rocks on the right side of dam to reach that ledge. Here’s the exact path you should take and the exact ledge marked:

A visual guide to get BFC 9000 Cyberpunk 2077

Once you get to that ledge, be ready for the fight, as the hostile will notice that you’re lurking around and will start attacking you. The NPC seems to have crashed his vehicle and has survived that impressive crash.

Crashed vehicle in Cyberpunk 2077

The vehicle will be in shambles and amidst the wreckage will be items scattered along the floor along with, there’s no delicate way to put it— dildos.

Kill the level 3 bounty NPC in order to get the BFC 9000. As you may notice, this iconic weapon has quite a unique design.

Iconic Achilles X-MOD2 Rifle

Location of the Achilles X-MOD2 iconic rifle on the map in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

The Iconic Achilles X-MOD2 rifle can be found in Dogtown, close to The Heavy Hearts Club. This is the pyramid-shaped building between the Golden Pacific and EBM Petrochem Stadium fast travel points.

Head to the northwestern part of the building and turn around to face north west.

White and blue building

You should spot a rundown white and blue building. That’s your destination!

Stairs for the white and blue building

Head directly towards the white and blue building and you should spot some stairs going up.

Take the first two flights of stairs to reach the second level then turn to your left.

Taking the first corner

Next, head straight forward and take the corner to your right.

You should spot a bridge connecting to the adjacent building. Ignore it and keep going straight ahead.

Reaching the dead end past the kids

Sometimes you’ll spot some children running in the area, you should head to where the children came from.

Secret passage over the beams

Continue to the end of the walkway and you’ll reach an apparent dead end. But this dead end isn’t quite so dead, it bears a secret passage!

Walking inside the passage

Jump over the beams in front of you and you’ll enter a very narrow passage. It’s linear from here on out, so just keep going forward.

This will lead you towards some makeshift house. The inhabitants of Dogtown have it rough, but they are survivors nonetheless…

Bunk bed in the secret house

Go into the household and investigate the bottom bunk bed in front of you, opposite of the narrow passage you came through.

Achilles X-MOD2 sleeping in the bunk bed

The Achilles X-MOD2 is taking a nap on the bed, so wake it up and throw it into your inventory!

Get Back Into Konpeki Plaza

Where To Start

Location on map for Konpeki Plaza

To begin with, you’ll want to start by heading to this location on the map. Its super easy to find as its just around the corner of Konpeki Plaza.

Where to park

From this point, you’ll want to drive along the highway. You’ll know you’ve the right spot as you’ll have Konpeki Highway to one side of you, with fences running around the rim of the highway preventing entry.

Reach the above point in the fence where there is no barbed wire above it, and park your car close to it – you’ll want to get out and climb on top of the car, then up and over the fence.

Climb on top of car in Cyberpunk 2077

It’s important that you have the boost legs from a Ripperdoc as the height is higher than what you’ll otherwise be able to jump.

Getting through the gate

Now you’re over the fence, drop down from the buildings and make your way over to the front of the Konpeki Plaza.

You’ll recognize it from the story mission with its red carpet and hotel reception. This will have a metal gate preventing entry.

Summon your car here in the game

To get in through the gate, you’ll want to summon your car. Don’t be surprised if it spawns in slightly weird, just like in this image.

If your previous car is too close to be summoned, try spawning in another.

Parallel park next to the gate for Konpeki Plaza

Then, to get the gate to lift you’ll need to drive your car and position up parallel to it. If it doesn’t work at first, try pulling out and retrying – it can be a bit finnicky!

You’ll notice that first the glass outer doors will slide open, then get out the car and drop down next to the metal gate.

Your presence will make it automatically lift up and voila! You’re inside!

Watch the gate lift up and enter Konpeki Plaza.

Once inside Konpeki Plaza, here is a list of potential items you’ll want to hunt for:

  • Nehan (Iconic Knife)
  • Iguana Egg
  • Satori (Iconic Katana)
  • Kongou (Iconic Pistol)
  • Saburo’s Dog Tag
  • Yobinoru’s Clothes

There shouldn’t be any enemies inside either since technically you aren’t supposed to return after that first iconic mission!

FURTHER READING: Cyberpunk 2077: How To Get Back Into Konpeki Plaza | Update 2.1

Get To Yucca Town

Location on map for Yucca Town

To begin with, you’ll want to reach this section on the map along the outer perimeter walls of Liberty City.

The nearest Fast Travel point is Regional Airport, the location is almost exactly South from there.

The city border patrol stops you from driving straight out.

Low point in the fence

Most of the outer walls are too high to jump up to. This location is at a section where the wall is slightly lower. This will let you climb atop your vehicle and jump up to it.

Jump up to the ledge - Cyberpunk 2077

You’ll need the boost jump ability from a Ripperdoc, since otherwise it will still be too high.

NOTE: You can’t jump over from the fence from here without injuring or killing yourself, so you need to head right and run all the way to the nearest building. It’ll take about two minutes of running.

Once you’ve reached the building, it’ll flag as a restricted area. You want to jump up to the visible concrete ledge here. Then, there is another invincible ledge that you need to reach.

To reach it, use the boost jump into the air. Rather than fall back down, V should grab on to something and climb up. It’ll look like walking on air.

From this vantage point, you are free to run along the top of the building and over the city customs checkpoint from the start of the game.

Drop down to the highway and you’ve breached the city limits!

The rest is easy. You’ll want to summon a vehicle and drive up the highway until you reach your first left. Drive down a bit further and your HUD will display that you’ve entered Yucca town. You’re there!

There aren’t any collectible items or quests in Yucca Town. However, it’s great for players who maybe rushed the opening and want to explore, or started with a different origin. There a few fun dialogue options with NPCs and readable books lying about.

All New Vehicles Ranked From Worst to Best

6. ARCH Nazaré “Kobold”

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 New Vehicles Ranked: ARCH Nazaré “Kobold”

Our worst bike on this list is the new Kobold model of the ARCH Nazaré. Mind you, it’s not bad or anything, but it’s hardly something we can call “new”.

This is just a pink paint job for the ARCH Nazaré, with no new features or changed specs when compared to its sisters. Well, it does have a smidge more weight on it, but it’s not enough to have any meaningful effects on its functionality.

If you love the ARCH Nazaré bikes and just want a pink one, then it’s perfect for you! If you want something that actually felt new, this is pretty disappointing.

5. Kusanagi “Akashita”

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 New Vehicles Ranked: Kusanagi "Akashita"

Just like the ARCH Nazaré “Kobold” before it, this new “Akashita” model of the Kusanagi bikes is mostly a reskin.

There’s an added backrest and a new color scheme with a pinkish main color and some very light greens for the accents.

It’s slightly lighter than the base Kusanagi bike too, but this seems to have little to no effect on performance!

Nonetheless, it’s nice to get a new alternate style for the fastest bike in the game.

4. Kusanagi “Peacekeeper”

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 New Vehicles Ranked: Kusanagi "Peacekeeper"

If you want to have a Kusanagi that looks more like it has a bit of a cop aesthetic, the Peacekeeper model is for you.

It boasts a light blue and white color scheme, which sets it apart when compared to the flashy colors of most other bikes in the game!

As for the specs, it’s the lightest Kusanagi model. As we noted with past bikes, though, this doesn’t actually make any meaningful difference in functionality. Still, it’s a unique new look, so it’s a welcome addition!

3. ARCH Nazaré “Racer”

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 New Vehicles Ranked: ARCH Nazaré "Racer"

The “Racer” is yet another reskin for the ARCH Nazaré bike. Although it does boast a noticeable lighter weight on its spec sheet, this seems to not matter at all for performance, just like the previous bikes.

What puts it so high in comparison to the others, then? Simply put, its sleek black design.

This is the darkest of all the bikes in the game, easily. It’s absolutely perfect for people who wish to roleplay as a certain brooding hero of justice. Night City doesn’t deserve you!

2. Brennan Apollo 650-S

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 New Vehicles Ranked: Apollo 650-S

The 650-S is a new slimmer model of the Brennan Apollo. While the original Brennan Apollo mostly served as an off-road bike, the 650-S sheds some weight and has better acceleration.

Ultimately, it feels more like a proper sports bike, and it looks a lot slicker than the off-road variant!

It’s not as fast as the Kusanagi and ARCH Nazaré bikes, but it also costs less than half what those bikes do and actually feels new. Overall, a nice addition to the game’s bike roster.

1. Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 New Vehicles Ranked: Porsche 930

This is the only new car added in Update 2.1, so that makes it stand out above the bikes. Not only that, it’s an extremely slick set of wheels, and it’s also the only vehicle that adds a new quest to the game!

You can just buy all of the bikes at any Autofixer whenever you want, with no issues. This car, on the other hand, will require you to through a fun short quest to obtain it!

The stats are nothing unique, though, admittedly. It has basically the same stats as the default Porsche 911 Turbo. However, it’s hard not to love the new sleek black and yellow design! It really screams “This is Cyberpunk”.

All Pistols Ranked From Worst to Best

Joke Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: All Pistols Ranked Tier List | Update 2.1 - Joke Tier

Pistols in this tier are mostly meant as jokes or gimmicks, not really intended for actual use. And boy, do they show it!

  • AR Raygun Supreme 9000 (Note: technically, this weapon can’t even be kept through normal means and is only used during the “Following the River” quest. Completely useless either way.)
  • Slaught-O-Matic

Bottom Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: All Pistols Ranked Tier List | Update 2.1 - Bottom Tier

Moving on up from joke weapons into actual pistols, this is the bottom of the barrel. These guns have some notable strengths, but their weaknesses are far too many to ignore.

  • Liberty
  • HJKE-11 Yukimura
  • Plan B
  • HA-4 Grit

Low Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: All Pistols Ranked Tier List | Update 2.1 - Low Tier

Pistols in this tier have some really strong strengths here and there. Sadly, they always have too many drawbacks that keep them from really excelling. They aren’t terrible, but you can do better.

  • Unity
  • Tamayura
  • Ticon
  • JKE-X2 Kenshin
  • Apparition

Mid Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: All Pistols Ranked Tier List | Update 2.1 - Mid Tier

The middle of the road, reserved for the most average of guns. They aren’t amazing, but they aren’t terrible either! Just perfect average quality.

  • Nue
  • Catahoula
  • Kongou
  • M-10AF Lexington / Lexington x-MOD2
  • Kappa / Kappa x-MOD2
  • Skippy
  • A-22B Chao
  • M-76e Omaha
  • Seraph

High Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: All Pistols Ranked Tier List | Update 2.1 - High Tier

Now things are getting interesting; pistols in this tier have some very unique strengths and few weaknesses. You won’t be disappointed when you get your hands on any of them!

  • Ambition
  • Pariah
  • Dying Night
  • Death and Taxes
  • Crimestopper
  • Scorch
  • Cheetah
  • Genjiroh

Top Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: All Pistols Ranked Tier List | Update 2.1 - Top Tier

As you might expect, pistols in this tier are almost the best. Every single one of them is capable of dealing devastating damage and being a perfect companion for your V!

  • 3516 (Johny’s Malorian Arms Pistol)
  • Chaos
  • Riskit
  • La Chingona Dorada
  • Ogou
  • Rook

The Best Of The Best

So, here we are at last, with the top 3 pistols in the game. Truth be told, you’re unlikely to ever use any of the lower-tier weapons once you acquire any of these three beauties!

Lizzie Pistol in gameplay

Lizzie – The Lizzie had some small changes made with recent updates, but it’s still insanely powerful. Extremely powerful as it fires 5-shot bursts when fully charged and stays accurate while doing so.

Her Majesty in gameplay

Her Majesty – A Iconic Unity variant meant for stealth, and arguably the best stealth gun in the entire game currently. Insane stealth critical damage combined with an excellent silencer. Hail to the Queen, baby!

Pride in gameplay

Pride – This gun is obtained really late depending on how you play the game, but that’s its only downside. Absolutely insane headshot damage when you’re at full health makes it capable of one-shotting enemies that even “Her Majesty” can’t!

All of V’s Apartments Ranked From Worst to Best

7. Kress Street Hideout in Dogtown

Cyberpunk 2077: All Apartments Ranked Tier List - Dogtown

The singular Dogtown apartment we get gives a whole new meaning to the term “dogwater”. It’s the only apartment we can get in Phantom Liberty’s Dogtown area, and it’s honestly a dump.

It has the basic necessities at least, and we can’t say that this little dumpster of an apartment doesn’t fit Dogtown. Hell, the pipes don’t even work until you fix them!

The thing is, it’s actually so bad that you won’t even be able to invite your romantic partners here. They will outright refuse, saying things like how they fear for their lives by going to Dogtown!

Let’s just say, it earns its place at the bottom of our list.

6. V’s Penthouse

Cyberpunk 2077: All Apartments Ranked Tier List - V's Penthouse

You might be surprised to see this penthouse so low on our list. After all, it combines luxury with a warm homey feeling. It’s probably the nicest home you can technically have in the game!

However, we only actually get to live in this penthouse for a brief moment during one of the game’s endings. We can’t actually keep it and use it for ourselves, as the game ends shortly after.

So, honestly, we can’t speak too highly of it because it feels like a tease more than anything. Would be the best choice by far if we actually got to keep it, though!

5. Northside Apartment

Cyberpunk 2077: All Apartments Ranked Tier List - Northside

This little apartment is a bit cramped and is not in the safest area in the game, but it’s very cheap. In fact, you can invite yourself in for free if you have 20 Intelligence!

Besides the basic amenities, it also has display racks for your Iconic Weapons and a Roach Race arcade cabinet.

Pretty nice starting point overall for the price, as long as you don’t mind the small size!

4. Corpo Plaza Apartment

Cyberpunk 2077: All Apartments Ranked Tier List - Corpo Plaza

This apartment has a certain high-quality feel to it, which matches the sky-high price tag of 110,000 Eurodollars. Though, honestly, the price feels a tad too high for what you get.

Sure, it’s a premium apartment that feels pretty safe and is in a nice part of the city. But the only really distinct feature it offers over most other apartments is the coffee machine.

Consuming coffee grants you a temporary stamina buff, and only two apartments have coffee machines!

Overall though, it’s a really nice place that just feels overpriced. As a bonus, you get to overlook the ominous FF:06:B5 statue in Corpo Plaza!

3. Japantown Apartment

Cyberpunk 2077: All Apartments Ranked Tier List - Japantown

Unlike the previous apartment on this list, the Japantown apartment is cheap and very homey. You can even light incense and play the guitar!

It also has the Roach Race arcade cabinet on top of all the basic amenities you would expect. It’s a very charming and homey apartment, so we love it for that. Plus, it’s only 30,000 Eurodollars.

The one downside is that sometimes you might hear some… strange screams outside your home. There appears to be a criminal on the loose in the nearby alley! You can take him down yourself to stop the noises, though.

2. V’s Apartment

Cyberpunk 2077: All Apartments Ranked Tier List - V's Apartment

This is your starting home, so it’s overall fairly humble. It’s decently sized and feels homey, but it doesn’t offer much in functionality beyond the basic amenities like a bed and shower.

What makes it stand out, however, is the homey feeling we mentioned. This place feels lived-in and unique to your V in a way that no other apartment in the game ever does.

Your pets will live here, and memorabilia you collect throughout completing quests will also find its way to this home. It really makes this apartment feel like it’s all yours, making it the perfect respite.

1. Glen Apartment

Cyberpunk 2077: All Apartments Ranked Tier List - The Glen

This apartment in the luxurious The Glen subdistrict is a fan favorite for a good reason. It’s got luxury and safety, making it one of the best places to live comfortably. Quite spacious, too!

It has every basic amenity you’d need as well as a coffee machine, display racks for your Iconic Weapons, and a Roach Race arcade.

The only downside to this apartment is that it’s a bit sterile and not very homey. Nonetheless, it has everything you need and it’s definitely a nice place to live in!

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 – New Secret Badlands Event

Cyberpunk 2077: New Event In Badlands | Update 2.1 Easter Egg Location

You can find and start the new secret Badlands event in the Jackson Plains area of the Southern Badlands.

More specifically, you need to head to the Solar Arrays and go to the central solar power station, marked on the map above.

Solar Arrays plant

Approach the power plant and you’ll find some Netwatch agents have cordoned off the area and are inspecting a corpse.

Netwatch agent in the area

They won’t allow you to get any closer, though you can always just resort to violence! Kill them and they won’t be able to deny you entry.

Netwatch agent takes a bullet to the head

Take them out and you’re free to explore the crime scene!

Corpse's device

Explore the corpse and you’ll find that they have a device with no messages. Who was this person, anyway?

Corpse's identity revealed

Well, if you check the nearby table with Netwatch equipment, you’ll learn that the corpse’s identity is Laurie Anderson.

Netwatch's Truck

Even more interestingly, look for a large truck with an open compartment and hop inside. The table inside this truck has a few interesting tidbits for us!

Netwatch And Sandra Dornet Easter Eggs

"Sandrad & [REDACTED]" log in the truck

The first thing of note in here is a readable shard that logs a conversation between Sandra Dornet and an unknown party.

QR code that leads to IRL website

To the left of the log, you’ll find a QR code that decodes to a real-life Netwatch website which requires login credentials to access.

Login credentials for the website in godawful handwriting

Thankfully, the login credentials are also found on the table!

The handwriting is a pain to understand, so here’s the website and login credentials for you to use:

The website after you input the login credentials

You’ll get access to the archives section of the Netwatch’s website, which has a lot of strange pictures for you to look through.

Netwatch emails

Also, check the computer on the table to read some e-mails from Netwatch agents talking about Sandra Dornet and other netrunners. Even more lore!

Looting the lootbox

Lastly, make sure to check the small box to the left of the table. It has some Quickhack Components, a Self-ICE cyberware, and a Headhopper weapon mod.

That should be everything there is to see in this unique new secret event!

Best Iconic Cyberware Tier List

Bottom Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: Best Cyberware Tier List Phantom Liberty - Bottom Tier

Cyberware in this tier is, frankly put, nearly useless. They’re not even situational, you straight-up won’t want to use these at all!

  • Electromag Recycler
  • Leeroy Ligament System
  • Isometric Stabiliser

Low Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: Best Cyberware Tier List Phantom Liberty - Low Tier

Moving on up to the low tier, Cyberware in this tier is barely a step up from being useless. For the most part, they are extremely situational, but they do have their uses.

  • Behavioural Imprint-synced Faceplate
  • Kiroshi “Cockatrice” Optics
  • RAM Reallocator
  • Adreno-Trigger
  • Revulsor

Mid-Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: Best Cyberware Tier List Phantom Liberty - Mid Tier

This tier is reserved for Cyberware implants that are a bit more versatile and overall useful than the previous tiers.

They’re still mostly very situational and build-centric, sure, but they can be game-changers if your build has a place for them.

  • Rara Avis
  • Immovable Force
  • Deep-Field Visual Interface

High Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: Best Cyberware Tier List Phantom Liberty - High Tier

This tier works as an honorable mention for the top 3, truth be told.

There are only two Cyberware implants in this category, and they’re so close to being in the top 3, but they aren’t quite powerful enough to cross that line.

  • Quantum Tuner
  • Peripheral Inverse

Top Tier – The 3 Best Iconic Cyberware

We’re finally here, the top 3 of the best Iconic Cyberware implants currently in the game. Why do they earn this spot? Well, let’s find that out! As always, the order is from worst to best.

Chitin – This is your go-to Cyberware for overall survivability, as it grants a large amount of Armor and also grants health regen.

But, the 200 Armor is actually not the best thing about Chitin, oh no. The best thing is its health regen rate increase: 10% for every Body Attribute point you have, up to 200%!

If you have 20 Body, your health regen will be incredibly fast at all times, even during combat. You’ll be nearly unstoppable!

Random Quick Hack gameplay

Axolotl – If you want to use all of your Cyberware constantly, Axolotl will be your best friend!

Axolotl’s effect is actually quite simple: it instantly reduces the cooldown of all of your Cybeware by 10.5% whenever you neutralize any enemy. It’s a perfect fit for berserkers, in particular.

As long as you don’t stop killing, you’ll get to spam your Cyberware abilities constantly.

COX-2 Cybersomatic Optimizer in use

COX-2 Cybersomatic Optimizer – Do you want to be a master of Quick Hacks? Well, this extremely unique Iconic Cyberware is made for you!

The COX-2 Cybersomatic Optimizer has a hefty penalty of -8 RAM, but it makes up for it by ensuring that all of your quick hacks are Criticals. Every single time, no random chance!

It can be game-breaking if you pair this with a build that allows you to regenerate RAM quickly. Pair it up with RAM Reallocator and RAM Recoup, for example, and you’ll be destroying everything with quick hacks!

Honorable Mentions – Best Non-Iconic Cyberware

Last but not least, why don’t we go over some of the must-have Cyberware that has no Iconic variants available?

These powerful Cyberware implants are partly the reason why some of the Iconics are so low in the tier list, after all, so they’re worth some honorable mentions!

5) Ex-Disk – Perfect for those wanting to do some quick hacking. It increases your RAM and makes quick hack upload speed up to 30% faster. Pairs great with COX-2 Cybersomatic Optimizer!

4) Reinforced Ankles – Allows you to charge your jumps to go further and faster. A huge boost to your overall mobility!

3) Reinforced Tendons – This simple implant grants you a double jump, massively improving your vertical mobility. It’s especially important if you’re exploring Phantom Liberty’s Dogtown area!

Biomonitor Cyberware implant

2) Lynx Paws – If you don’t mind sacrificing the mobility of the previous two implants, Lynx Paws will grant you a huge boost to your stealth. You move faster while crouching and you are 50% quieter when moving.

1) Biomonitor – Instantly uses your equipped Health Item when your HP drops below 35%. Incredibly useful and it has a rather short cooldown!

All Revolvers – Ranked From Worst to Best

Low Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: Best Revolvers Tier List Phantom Liberty - Low Tier

Revolvers in Cyberpunk 2077 are, as of 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, actually pretty powerful. So, low tier for revolvers is reserved just for weapons that are lacking in comparison to the others.

These revolvers aren’t bad at all by themselves, they just are basic and lackluster compared to the rest!

  • Metel
  • DR-5 Nova
  • Comrade’s Hammer
  • Laika

Mid-Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: Best Revolvers Tier List Phantom Liberty - Mid Tier

Moving on up, mid-tier revolvers are pretty solid hand cannons. They aren’t quite “main weapon” material, but revolvers in this tier are fantastic choices for a side weapon.

  • Rosco
  • Overture
  • Taigan
  • Crash

High Tier

Cyberpunk 2077: Best Revolvers Tier List Phantom Liberty - High Tier

Unlike the mid-tier revolvers, high-tier revolvers are more than suitable to be your main weapon of choice. You can just pick your favorite revolver from this tier and you’ll be set!

Though, of course, we still have the top 3 revolvers left to discuss…

  • RT-46 Burya
  • Ol’ Reliable
  • Bald Eagle
  • DR-12 Quasar
  • Mancinella
  • Gris Gris

Top Tier – The Best 3 Revolvers

Cyberpunk 2077: Best Revolvers Tier List Phantom Liberty - Top 3

As always, there are some weapons that simply excel way beyond their counterparts in any given category. That’s why this tier is reserved specifically for the top 3 best revolvers in the game!

Since these powerful handguns are such hard workers, we’ll even tell you why they’ve earned their spots here at the peak.

Doom Doom gameplay

Doom Doom – This revolver isn’t accurate, but it shoots 3 powerful bullets at once and has an extremely high dismemberment chance.

It’s the best revolver for getting up close and personal, as you can blast all three bullets into a single devastating shot when you’re close enough! Bonus points for aiming straight at the head, of course.

Amnesty gameplay

Amnesty – If you want to be the quickest draw in Night City, this is your best bet. The Amnesty is a great overall choice, with its high accuracy and high damage.

Its biggest strength, though, is its extremely high rate of fire. Combining the rate of fire and accuracy, it’s best used as a classic quick-draw revolver. It truly makes you feel like a cowboy!

Archangel gameplay

Archangel – The best of the best, at least when it comes to a revolver that can get you through anything.

The Archangel has an insanely high damage potential, thanks to its particularly high headshot damage multiplier. 

On top of that, it can frequently inflict shock damage and it has decent armor penetration to boot. 

If you want to focus on just one revolver, this is by far the best all-rounder you can ever get! It does require some precision aiming to make the most out of, though, compared to Doom Doom and Amnesty.

How to Fix The Shower in Dogtown’s Kreiss Street Apartment

Dogtown apartment in Phantom Liberty

The Dogtown apartment is in Kreiss Street and is naturally unlocked by completing the “Lucretia My Reflection” quest as part of the Phantom Liberty storyline.

Water pipes are dry...

As soon as you reach the apartment and scan the pipes, V will mention that they’re completely dry despite being functional. Seems there has been no water going through the pipes for a while now!

The most likely cause for this might be the water pump, which might be broken or just turned off. To find the water pump, you’ll need to follow the pipes back to their source.

The first hallway to the right

The easiest way to find it is to enter the apartment and turn to your right. The red arrow in the image shows you the way, just in case!

Water pump location

Next, walk to the very end of the dimly lit hallway and turn to your right once again.

You’ll find the water pump next to the wall, behind some boxes and other random stuff. The place is a bit of a mess, honestly…

Fix the pump

Either way, just choose to fix the water pump and V will get it started. The pump is actually pumping now, so you should be getting running water for your shower.

V takes a shower at the Dogtown Apartment

So there you have it, it seems someone had just turned off the water pump for whatever reason. Anyway, you can now take as many showers as you want at your new Dogtown apartment!

Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
