Cyberpunk 2077 has 37 pistols to choose from as of Update 2.1, so picking one from all of them can be a challenge.

Not all of them are made equally at all either, with some being absolutely useless jokes and others being game-breakingly powerful.

In this tier list, we’ll go over all the pistols currently available in the game and rank them from worst to best!

All Pistols in Cyberpunk 2077 Ranked From Worst to Best As Of 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

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

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

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

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

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 – 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 – 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 – 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!
