Smart Weapons ListBy Angie HarveyAdam HadadHannah Hoolihan+119 moreUpdated: Oct 19, 2023 5:30pm UTC

Smart Weapons are one of the three main weapons categories in Cyberpunk 2077. They are extremely easy to use, thanks to an auto-targeting system that allows you to hit enemies with minimal skill. This Smart Weapons guide will teach you everything you need to know about using smart weapons, as well as provide a list of all the Smart Weapons available to find and purchase in-game. This page has been updated to include new weapons added in from Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 Update as well.

Want to find one of the best and most bizzare Smart Weapons of all time? Check out our comprehensive guide on How to Find Skippy, The Talking Gun.

How to Equip The Smart Link Cybernetic

To take full advantage of Smart Weapons, you need to equip Smart Link. This is an equippable Cybernetics implant for your Hands that allows you to utilize the smart-targeting module on Smart weapons. Without it, you are essentially missing out on the most important aspect of this weapon category.

Smart target is an auto-targeting system that lets you hit an enemy by firing at it with the large square reticle covering the enemy. It is an impressive trait that can help players of any skill level.

How to Get Smart Link

You can purchase a Smart Link upgrade from a Ripperdoc. Once you have Smart Link, simply equip it in the Cyberware section of your menu and you can immediately start using Smart weapons.

How to Use Smart Guns

Equip a Smart Gun and, in combat, you will see that the Smart Link will auto-target various enemies. Pulling the trigger will cause the bullets to automatically detect and hit the enemy. Easy!
