Whether found during a mission or a niche somewhere in Cyberpunk 2077 ’s open world , some of the best weapons in CD Projekt Red’s latest RPG game News can be found for free.

Where to Find Lizzie in Cyberpunk 2077

Lizzie is an iconic tech pistol in Cyberpunk 2077. The gun fires an extra round each time players pull the trigger, and the number of rounds it fires increases if the weapon is charged up beforehand. When first located, Lizzie will be of rare (blue) quality, containing one scope slot and mod slot. However, the weapon can be upgraded to epic quality, which adds an additional mod slot and increases its overall stats.

Lizzie can be found outside of Judy’s room (in the basement) in Lizzie’s Bar during Act Two. After players complete the mission titled The Space in Between, the tech pistol can be found on the table near Judy’s room.

Where to Find the Legendary Mantis Blades in Cyberpunk 2077

The legendary Mantis Blades are a devastating addition to gamers’ arsenal. For players who take the time to create a build that focuses on blades, such as a Cyberpunk 2077 cyber ninja build , the legendary Mantis Blades are a must-have. With two mod slots and decent buffs, such as an additional five percent crit chance and ten percent more crit damage, players focused on using Blades could go through the entire RPG game guide just using this monster of a cyber weapon.

Normally, the legendary Mantis Blades in Cyberpunk 2077 can be purchased from a ripperdoc when players have enough street cred and eurodollars (eddies) to purchase them. However, they cost over 100,000 eddies, which is a ridiculous sum when considering players can pick them up for free in the game world. Instead of buying them, gamers should make their way to the Corpo Plaza section of Night City, near the Halsey & MLK fast travel marker.

Here, players should notice a building with a big "09" on it after traveling northeast of the Halsey & MLK fast travel point. Turn left and go down an alleyway (west of the custom marker shown on the map above). Here, there is a cyberpsycho sighting, but the cyberpsycho does not have to be fought and can be kind of tough if players have not leveled up enough to face him. Otherwise, he is fun to engage with the proper level, build, and equipment.

If they are quick, gamers can loot the chest off to the right near some boxes after going down the alley that contains Cyberpunk 2077’s legendary Mantis Blades , and they can get out before the cyberpsycho attacks them. Once acquired, players will have to go to a ripperdoc to install the legendary Mantis Blades, but they are worth the effort.
