What kind of weapons will Cyberpunk 2077 have?
Cyberpunk 2077 is a first-person RPG with a serious lean towards FPS gameplay, so there are lots of guns but you’ll have melee options too. Here are the three classes of guns, each of which have variants you’ll be familiar with like pistols or shotguns, followed by the up-close weapon styles:
Power Weapons
Power Weapons are the closest to current-day guns. The big difference is that they’re capable of ricocheting bullets off surfaces so you can shoot enemies hiding behind corners and cover. You can see how your bullets will bounce with a handy preview line as you aim.

Tech Weapons
Tech Weapons are supercharged guns that use electromagnetic technology to fire solid metal projectiles. These super-powerful munitions can punch through walls, meaning you can hit an enemy before you even break down the door to their hideout.
Smart Weapons
Smart Weapons have enemy-tracking tech that let you bullets chase down targets even when you aren’t aiming directly at them. Like power weapons, it’s a handy trick for hitting targets around corners.
Melee Weapons
Melee weapons may not be futuristic guns but they’re not low-tech either. So far we’ve seen options like a Thermal Katana, a super hot blade for slicing and dicing, in the new weapons trailer above.
Cyberware
For a more serious commitment, you can also turn your body into your weapon of choice with cyberware implants. There are horrifying Mantis Arms, super-strong Gorilla Arms, and a Projectile Launch System that’s basically a grenade launcher in your hand.
