Phantom Liberty Iconic Weapons: Where to Find Them All

The iconic weapons in Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion can be found through various means, including progression through main story missions, completing side jobs, looting specific enemies, acquiring them from airdrops, or purchasing them from the Black Market Vendor in Dogtown. This guide details the precise methods for obtaining each of these unique armaments.

Iconic Weapons from Main Story Missions

Several powerful iconic weapons are acquired directly by progressing through Phantom Liberty’s main story missions. These are often tied to specific choices or events, so paying close attention during these quests is crucial to ensure you don’t miss them.

The Bald Eagle, a Tier 4 Power Revolver, offers a significant +250% Headshot Damage Multiplier and +75% Armor Penetration. Its unique ability synergizes with the Fang iconic knife: shooting an enemy’s leg after throwing Fang into it will shred the leg and return Fang to your hand, making it effective against moving targets. The Erebus, a Tier 4 Power SMG, is unique as you find its schematic during the “Somewhat Damaged” mission, requiring you to craft it. Its rounds are infused with Blackwall energy and are highly effective against low-health enemies. Hawk, a Tier 3 Power Assault Rifle, is acquired after a specific main mission interaction and provides a +175% Headshot Damage Multiplier. Headshots with Hawk temporarily weaken and mark enemies, slowing them, preventing ability use, reducing their damage output, and making them more prone to losing balance. Her Majesty, a Tier 3 Power Pistol, is a direct gift from Alex. When Optical Camo is active, Her Majesty’s shots gain perfect accuracy and guaranteed headshot Critical Damage, making it ideal for stealthy takedowns.

Iconic Weapons from Side Jobs and the Open World

Beyond the main narrative, Dogtown’s side jobs and its open world hide additional iconic weapons. These often require completing specific tasks, defeating certain enemies, or exploring particular locations.

The Cheetah, a Tier 4 Power Pistol, is obtained from Angie during the “No Easy Way Out” side job. It boasts a +150% Headshot Damage Multiplier and +50% Crit Damage. Its unique feature increases Crit and Bleeding chance the closer you are to the target, and hits to an enemy’s torso deal additional damage. The Dezerter, a Tier 4 Power Double-Barrel Shotgun, is found in a garage during the “Addicted to Chaos” side job. This shotgun’s extreme firepower neutralizes enemies by engulfing you in flames (unless your health is low), granting a movement speed boost and increased Mitigation Chance. The Agaou, an Iconic Axe, is a boss drop from Ayo Zarin, encountered during the “Increased Criminal Activity” activity in Luxor Heights. Specific details for Baby Boomer, Fang, Gris-Gris, Laika, Murphy’s Law, Nehan, Order, Pariah, Raiju, Rasetsu, and Volkodav are not yet confirmed as of June 22, 2026, regarding their exact side job or open-world acquisition methods.

Iconic Weapons from the Black Market and Airdrops

Dogtown’s dynamic environment also offers iconic weapons through random airdrops and a dedicated Black Market Vendor. These methods introduce an element of chance or require a financial investment.

The Alabai, a Tier 3 Iconic Power Shotgun, can be found in airdrops, identifiable by red smoke and a yellow ammo symbol on the container. As of Patch 2.1, it can also be purchased from Herold Lowe, the Black Market Vendor, inside the EBM Petrochem Stadium for $121,819 (Tier 5). This weapon features a +85% Headshot Damage Multiplier and a +25% Armor Penetration. It has a chance to inflict a unique burn that guarantees Crit Damage when shooting affected enemies. The more enemies simultaneously affected by this burn, the more Crit Damage is dealt, though accuracy decreases. The Carmen, a Tier 4 Power Assault Rifle, is exclusively available for purchase from a Black Market Vendor in the EBM Petrochem Stadium. It grants +100% Headshot Damage Multiplier and +50% Armor Penetration. Its unique ability increases Crit Chance for shots to limbs and improves weapon handling while running, jumping, or sliding, simultaneously increasing damage and Bleeding. Specific acquisition details for Borzaya, Crimestopper, Hercules 3AX, Mancinella, NDI Osprey, Ogou, Ol’ Reliable, Pizdets, Riskit, Rosco, Sparky, Taigan, and Wild Dog are not yet confirmed as of June 22, 2026, regarding their exact Black Market or Airdrop locations.

Iconic Weapon Stats and Features

Each iconic weapon in Phantom Liberty possesses unique stats and special features that differentiate them from standard weaponry, often providing powerful combat advantages. Understanding these attributes is key to optimizing your build.

The Alabai is a powerful shotgun for close-quarters combat, especially effective when managing multiple burning targets. The Bald Eagle is a precision instrument, particularly lethal with headshots and offering a unique synergy with the Fang knife for crowd control. Carmen excels in aggressive, mobile combat, rewarding players who keep moving and target limbs. Cheetah is a close-range pistol that punishes enemies who get too close, with increased critical and bleeding chances. Dezerter is a high-risk, high-reward shotgun, granting significant mobility and defense after neutralizing targets, but with a health caveat. Erebus offers a unique advantage against weakened foes with its Blackwall-infused rounds. Hawk provides excellent crowd control through headshots, debilitating enemies and making them vulnerable. Her Majesty is a stealth assassin’s dream, ensuring critical headshots and perfect accuracy when paired with Optical Camo.
