Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty Expansion Unlocks Iconic Weapon Purchases

Get ready for an exciting treat if you’re a collector of weapons in Cyberpunk 2077. The game’s latest and only expansion, Phantom Liberty, is about to make your armory even more impressive.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is set to introduce a feature that lets players purchase Iconic weapons, a secret that CD Projekt Red subtly slipped into the game’s latest update. This exciting tidbit about the expansion is just one aspect of the massive 2.0 update for Cyberpunk 2077, which became available on September 21.

In Cyberpunk 2077, a rich variety of weapons awaits players, but the real stars of the show are the Iconic weapons. These stand out due to their unique designs, preferred by many over randomly generated loot. Some of these Iconic weapons are integral to the main quest, making them hard to overlook. However, not all are easy to find, especially since there’s usually only one chance to obtain these special items in a single playthrough.

The upcoming DLC will change the game by allowing players to buy all Iconic weapons from various “black market vendors” in Dogtown, the new location introduced in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. According to a loading screen tip discovered in the 2.0 version of the game, multiple vendors may offer this valuable service, increasing accessibility for players.

This addition aligns with the lore of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty’s Dogtown, where this desolate neighborhood is renowned as the go-to spot for acquiring unique and elusive armaments. For weapons enthusiasts, this is a dream come true, as it means you can complete your collection of unique armaments without needing guides.

Currently, there are 48 Iconic weapons in Cyberpunk 2077, and the upcoming expansion is set to introduce even more to this already impressive list.

While this feature requires purchasing Phantom Liberty, the cost is unlikely to deter many fans. The Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update has already brought a host of improvements to the game, including tweaks, quality-of-life enhancements, and significant changes to systems like the police and perk trees. With CD Projekt Red delivering these extensive updates free of charge, most players will likely find the price of Phantom Liberty, which also includes a 10-to-15-hour spy thriller starring Idris Elba, well worth it.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is set to release on September 26 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Get ready to enhance your weapon collection in the neon-lit world of Night City.
