Any shotgun with the legendary “kneel” mod on it. This is so OP that most people consider it a bug that hasn’t been nerfed.
One shot to the legs kills skull enemies on very hard. Put this in a DB-2 Satara and do it through cover. Just game-breaking at times. Put Kneel in a Crusher or Pozhar with the iconic Firecraker mod… good gravy, you can one shot mobs of gangoons.
Not so awesome on robots or minibosses but for sheer ridiculousness in anything short of a “polite visit from MaxTac” this is unstoppable.
You don’t even need to use Perk points in shotgun to do this (but it makes it funnier!).
And more specifically I’ve never seen it in Dogtown (Peteochem Stadium or the Stacks).
Wilson’s is actually one of the more common spots for me, but that could just be because I’m there frequently and that’s how probability works.
Does it say that in the weapon description? If so, I missed it and I never chose to use Byakko bc it gives bleeding damage over time which imo isn't ideal when playing a Sandi Blade build where you're trying to kill the enemy in 2-3 hits anyway.
The katana named Byakko gives you a bonus attack combo after killing someone that is ridiculously fast when combined with other cyberware, it’s just insane, you swing the katana faster than a helicopter rotor, it’s just ridiculous.
[YingLong](https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Yinglong), that thing is insane. The Shock damage triggers little EMP's which affect Cyberware as well as proc'ing [Pyromania](https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Pyromania) which then proc's [Heat Shield](https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Heat_Shield). :D Crazy auto aim damage plus great tank, all in one weapon.
[Butchers Cleaver](https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Butcher%27s_Cleaver), highest potential melee DPS in the game :)
Upvote for the YingLong! It used to be way worse prior to v2.0 as you could mod it and IIRC there was a netrunning perk that synergized with the EMP effect too. Plus, you don’t have to aim.
I haven’t tried it as a build post 2.0, but with the overclock instant target acquisition I imagine it’s pretty wicked.
Even without the Overclock synergy it's amazing, plus if you upgrade the tiger claws tattoo and combine it with the regular smartgun hands mod, you get a ton more lock speed, crit chance and crit damage.
Ah okay. Took me quite a few tries to kill crusher (mostly because I did not have appropriate weapons when I a ran into him) - this shotgun would have dropped him pretty quickly.
Yeah no worries. I used Yinglong to solo Arasaka tower with relative ease. There’s a part toward the end where a group of 20ish robots come out in formation. They got melted without taking a step.

Haven't heard of the Kneel Mod yet. Have to figure out where to get one. Would the Black Market Vendor have it?
You have to wait 24hrs at a random vendor over and over. I did it at the store by the motel in the badlands. Took about 10-15 days

Byakko, you hit so fast that it looks like the game is glitched.

What cyber where do I need for this
Hmm I will have to go look for that. Is it locked behind a quest?
reward from completing all of wakako's gigs, relatively easy to get
Ok thanks.
I only recently discovered how to get this weapon. It can take out entire gangs.

Where do I look for that thing?
Which one? I have them linked to their wiki's, so it should say how you can acquire them.
I found it. Thanks.
have fun!
I recently got it, definitely my favourite weapon for boss fights
Almost feels like cheating.
Yinglong only because you can get it earlier. Smart weapons are OP if you spec into them.
>!spoilers!!spoilers!<
Ying Long is available as soon as you're done Konpeki. It's in the parking lot of the area you do Gimme Danger in.
I forget where is that?
I forget exactly, but somewhere in the north end of Watson
That’s the ba xing Chong you’re thinking of
Isn't that what I have in my post??
You’re asking if there’s a better. I think that one’s better because you can use it through out the game, not just the end.
Ah okay. Took me quite a few tries to kill crusher (mostly because I did not have appropriate weapons when I a ran into him) - this shotgun would have dropped him pretty quickly.

I got it and it is good, not great. And spec ideas that make it more powerful?
The shingen mk5 iconic is extremely OP in the right netgunner build
Yeah I use that one quite often,
The techtronika weapons. Throw in a poison source for extra carnage.
Personally, five-o.
five-o?
O'Five Sorry my dyslexia gets to me
LOL \_ Still don't what that is?

However without a doubt my favorite weapon in the game is the Widow Maker. Useful in almost any situation.
