The Malorian is awesome but I really wish they added the lore that it actually has some of the real Johnny’s incredibly angry personality bouncing around it’s wiring, like in the ttrpg. I guess it’s because it was chipped to his cyber-arm for so long that while Johnny was having cyberpsycho episodes his neural info would leak into it through the personal link. It would be pretty cool if you got some ghostly, angry voice lines after like, getting a nice headshot or taking out a bunch of corpos in quick succession. Hit an Arasaka agent with the secondary fire? “Time to buuurn, Corporat.” That would be fun. I wonder if there’s enough Johnny voice lines in the game to do something like that with mods? Way beyond me anyway.

@chadtheafricanbullfrog 6 месяцев назад

I think a large aspect you overlooked with Death & Taxes is the 2-round burst now. Due to the nature of bursts during Sandevistan, both rounds shoot out un-slowed while everything else is, practically guaranteeing two critical headshots with a single pull of the trigger. It's my go-to stealth pistol over Her Majesty.

Plan B shoots ''just'' around 10K to 15K in a full play trough. Using Plan B does not ''burn your wallet'' since you can get that money fairly easy. In fact it gives you basically infinite ammo and bleeding changes. Plan B is below avarage I'd say. Should be ranked somewhere in low-middle (above Kongou). Tamayura should be ranked higher, its the best non-iconic pistol for stealth builds with the highest base damage of all pistols and a higher headshot multiplier than the Nue. Should be around where the Chao is personally.

I agree the kongou should be above the plan b. Mainly because of the, technically infinite ammo from the crafting. Which kind of negates the plan bs using a different ammo type.

@nathandam6415 6 месяцев назад

Hard disagree. Tech weapons have a damage penalty when piercing cover. Power weapon ricochets do not. Kongou ricochets have a ridiculously generous auto-lock angle, and you can test it yourself. Almost 3-4 times as much as a regular power weapon. It is easily one of the best early game handguns in the game because of this. The bullets feel like they're literally bending around corners to auto-target enemies.

For stealth now that they actually put a silencer on it in the last update, the Mancinella is BY FAR the best stealth weapon in the game. If you use a Sandevistan the stealth bonus stays active for the entirety of an engagement because of the gun's special perk and with the Axolotl recharging your Sandy you can kill an entire group of enemies in one go easily. I actually just got rid of all my stealth perks and put them into other stuff because of how good the Mancinella is with a Sandy.

Before 2.0 there used to be this quirk with the Kenshin Takemura leaves with you after the two of you escape the Troy which allowed you to upgrade it to have insane DPS. Most often I would use it through almost the entire game. If that quirk still existed in 2.0 it would have easily put it on par with some if the best tech iconics since it'd be allowed to use mods. Wish they had maybe turned it into an Xmod model instead of just a regular Kenshin, honestly. One of the most deadly bodyguards on the entire planet would surely have some kind of unique iron.

For Her Majesty's Optical Camo buffs I think they want you to actively use the Optical Camo instead of just spamming Vanishing Act, so they want you to max out Headhunter to get that 15% Optical Camo recharge per kill during Focus or Deadeye, you can combine that with Axolotl for 25-26% Optical Camo charge per kill for essentially infinite invisibility.

it's honestly really disappointing that both early game Liberty iconics you get are so disappoining, both Kongou and Plan B have fantastic appearances, but neither of them really cut the mustard (you're seriously better off just using Nehan for stealth kills during the heist, or it and Satori or an AR if you're going out guns blazing, than Kongou). At least Seraph and Pride make up for it, mainly Pride.

There is a reason to use both La Cingona Dorada. Each headshot reloads the La Cingona dorada. Both of the La Cingona Dorada. So you can fire the mag of one of them to low count swap to the other, fire the mag to low count, swap again - reloading the other gun and repeat. SO each one can reload the other provided you do not deplete the mag completely. I am not sure if the other bonuses stack but I see no reason why they would not.

@abednegokurio9244 6 месяцев назад

Not maxing out Cool means you don't get the capstone skill for pistols though and it's a pretty defining skill. As long as you hipfire you can ignore stamina entirely, have perfect accurary, and bonus headshot damage. On top of that you get whatever else bonuses from other perks related to deadeye infinitely. This benefits some pistols more than others and anyone making a pistol build will take it into account. Personally, I think the capstone perks should be switched between pistols and revolvers but that's neither here nor there.

@tylerrussell9926 6 месяцев назад

For the purposes of this list does it really matter? Pistols only receive the hip fire and movement speed buffs, and personally i never hip fire, so I only benefit from the movement speed (which can be helpful in stealth when crouched, sure). Sometimes I don't even use that perk because it honestly isnt that great for a capstone. The revolver perk is insane though. But for the purpose of ranking pistols specifically, maxing out cool doesn't really make a difference.

@abednegokurio9244 6 месяцев назад

@@mossicely in my experience it really does. High fire rate pistols like the Lexington really benefits from it a lot more than others. Infinite stamina, high fire rate, and perfect accuracy means you can be a lot more in your face and spam headshots instead of being stealthy.

Ricochet is honestly really useful when you want to fire from cover. It shows where they are behind walls if you line up the ricochet correctly, and it’s a decent way to counter the annoying ass sandevistan having gangoons.

@NATEBRO16 2 месяца назад

Hi Sam, I've had a good time combining Her Majesty, Camo, Sandevistan, and Axolotl. Tier 5 handyman to enable a better scope than default sights and bonus crit damage. You get the crit bonuses from Camo, time to aim from Sandy (which I prefer to kerenzikov to allow Deadeye and Focus to trigger for more damage) and kills with Axolotl help speed up the recharge for both Sandy and Camo. It's a bit specific, but makes it super punchy.

I tested the damage between the dying night and lexington xmod2 pretty thoroughly at some point in my playthrough and found that due to its shock damage, dying night almost always outperforms the xmod at close to medium distance, with the exception of hitting almost exclusively headshots, which is when xmod edges ahead. This changes when you put on the explosive rounds chimera mod and the fire mod, that's when the xmod basically wins flat out due to its higher range and nice DoT

@GuerrillaWarloard 6 месяцев назад

@MGShadow1989 5 месяцев назад

With the exception of Her Majesty, Pride or Pariah for stealthy shenanigans, my favourite for general use is the Kenshin family, especially Chaos - I'm quite fond of handguns in most shooters, and my favourite weapon type in Cyberpunk is Tech. Also helps that it looks nice.

@ASH-dj8mv 6 месяцев назад

I found lexington x mod silenced with firecracker and 30% armor pen mod attached is the best stealth gameplay pistol. Even better than her majesty and rook. You can argue about Pride silenced is the best weapon but if you miss head shot the high fire rate makes up for the missed shot for lexington. But pride + headhunter knife is best weapon combo rotation amongst any weapon in the game no doubt.

@maskedman5657 5 месяцев назад

@patsonical 4 месяца назад

I like stealth and (ideally) one-shotting unaware enemies, but I absolutely fell in love with the Rook when I got it. Pairs super well with any time slowing effects (Kerenzikov is a no-brainer for this one), which helps control that recoil and ensuring constant crits.

@benphish 5 месяцев назад

I really think death and taxes is slept on after the patch. To get the most out of it use a sandy, the slow time effect basically makes both rounds hit in the same spot. It fires so fast with the sandy activated I thought it was only shooting one round at first.

@MondoJohnny 6 месяцев назад

Seraph was a monster beast in my experience. If we're talking pistols I want a nice all arounder but with some above average punch and seraph fits the bill! It's a good sidearm if you aren't specifically specced into pistols all the way. I think it counts as firing explosive bullets too for the explosive damage percentage buffs you get on cyber but will have to double check that. Anyway it was doing hard work for me! Plus it's just a thing of beauty, let's be honest! Gotta admit the Valentinos have style! I noticed that some guns benefit way more from the pistol perks and others that may not have as much potential can be better "out of the box" if you will. So if you arent specifically a pistolier having a nice all around handgun with good accuracy, range, and punch might be more useful to you than one that requires 15-20 in cool to be the "best".
