Cyberpunk 2077: Best Unique Shotguns (& Where to Find Them)

When it comes to games like **Cyberpunk 2077 ** where players are constantly going up against leagues of enemies who want to kill them, there is nothing more important than having a good arsenal of weapons . No matter what build or abilities players want to use they will need to use several different guns and melee weapons if they want to survive for very long in this harsh world. Players should always do their best to have the best guns available on their person at all ti


Ba Xing Chong - Without a doubt, this has to be the best and most fun shotgun to use in the entirety of **Cyberpunk 2077 ** . Its base stats alone are more than enough reason to pick up this gun as it already dishes out a huge amount of damage. This is also coupled with the fact though that it has a chance to knock down any enemy that it hits and it has explosive rounds. This both increases its damage potential and increases the chances of enemies being stunned by an attack, granting the player more time to attack them. All of this is topped though by the Ba Xing Chong being the only Smart unique shotgun . This negates all concerns about bullet spread or range because Smart weapons home in on enemies and never miss. With all of this together it means that each pull of the trigger launches out a swarm of mini bombs that home in on their target, and each one has the chance of knocking them to the floor. Nothing beats this gun and it has no penalties. Players can craft it by acquiring the blueprint from Adam Smasher's vault that is on board the Ebun


The Death and Taxes pistol is found in Maiko's office during the side job, " Ex-Factor. " Death and Taxes has a unique perk that splits its projectiles into two parts, allowing them to strike targets twice. It boasts increased Electrical damage as well, making it perfect for anyone keen on that damage t


Mox - Mox is an interesting weapon that just feels like it was unnecessarily handicapped by the development team for little reason at all. As a power shotgun, it can ricochet and bounce projectiles around small rooms to deal damage to many different enemies. This is coupled with the fact that it has increased headshot damage, so it can actually deal a decent amount of damage on impact. There are two main issues with this gun that hold it back from greatness. For one it has reduced bullet spread, which gives it more range but also reduces the ability of the bullets bouncing around in small spaces. It also has a significantly reduced reloading speed, which is an incredibly huge penalty for any shotgun no matter how powerful it is. Other than this there really isn't anything else super special about the Mox as even its damage is pretty middling when compared to the other unique shotguns. It can be acquired relatively easily by the player though, so those who need a powerful Unique shotgun may just grab it while they are waiting to get their hands on something new. Players who romance Judy will be given the Mox by her after the Pyramid Song mission. Even those who don't romance here though will still be able to acquire the weapon by waiting until she decides to leave Night City. It can be found inside her apartment t


Players can progress through the Intelligence tree to unlock some great skills to create the best build in Cyberpunk 2077 that involves Smart Weapons, hacking abilities, and the true powers of a netrunner. Every 4 Attribute Points put into the Intelligence tree will also provide players with a +1 Max RAM, meaning their hacking powers will only grow the more they invest into the best Intelligence skills in Cyberpunk 20


It also comes complete with a Scope Slot, a Muzzle Slot, and one Mod Slot. There’s also a small chance that the Dorada will inflict the stun status on enemies if it hasn’t already burned them alive with Thermal and B


Kongou - This weapon is incredibly powerful mostly just because it allows players to use all of their special abilities without having to pick up the required cybernetic upgrades first. The Kongou is a Power weapon, but usually, to make a Power weapon work correctly the player needs the Power weapon Cybernetic. The Kongou lets players use it without that, which means that players who aren't specced to use Power weapons can still have a lot of fun with it. It also has significantly reduced recoil and increased rate of fire that effectively allows the player to use this as a small submachine gun. The only real downside is that it has reduced capacity, but it's a small price to pay for the positive aspects. Players will be able to find this during "The Heist" by picking it up off of Yorinobu's nightst


This unique handgun fires four shots at the cost of one and has an increased chance to dismember limbs from foes. It also boasts an increased rate of fire and damage, but all of this comes at the cost of additional weapon recoil and bullet spr


Stinger - Without a doubt, one of the best weapons available in Cyberpunk 2077 is Stinger, which is bizarre as this small knife doesn't look like much at first. Its damage stat isn't nearly as high as some of the other weapons on this list, but what it has going for it is the fact that it can be swung almost 7 times per second. When you factor in the Stinger's small chance to do poison with 7 attack per second, it means that players will be poisoning nearly every enemy they attack. On top of this though the Stinger gains the benefit of all being able to make use of all of the Cybernetic Blades upgrades that Katanas get. With those in place it has the potential to dish out more damage than any other weapon in the RPG Game missions, guns included. Players will need to wait until they are able to complete the side job "I'll Fly Away" which gives them the Stinger as a rew
