The Comrade’s Hammer is a powerful revolver that shoots rocket-like bullets instead of standard ones capable of penetrating heads and walls. This makes it more suitable for area damage, given its ability to fire single explosive rounds rapidly, particularly when used in conjunction with a Quick Melee Attack, which allows it to quickly incinerate Night City.

Laika is an engaging Tech-based weapon that captivates players due to its high headshot damage and overall damage output. However, its rate of attack could use some improvement.

Tiagan bears a striking resemblance to Laika, and their distinctive trait remains unchanged. Gamers must strategically manage foes they ignite to gain an edge on Critical Damage. The superior version primarily outshines its lesser counterpart due to enhanced attack speed.

In Dogtown, Kurt Hansen holds sway, and savvy players have the chance to dethrone him, snatching his distinctive weapons in the process. Among his formidable collection, the Revolver, known as Bald Eagle, stands out due to its exceptional Multiplier for Headshot Damage. Yet, this weapon truly shines when coupled with another iconic tool, Fang, the Knife.

  • How to get Doom Doom: Dropped after killing Dum Dum in the Tonentanz Club in Second Conflict

Hand cannons like the Doom Doom are named as such for good reason, and it’s clear that this weapon doesn’t shy away from its moniker. Each shot discharges three explosive rounds, significantly increasing the chance of dismemberment. However, this power comes with a trade-off: frequent reloading is required due to its high rate of consumption, and missing shots is common due to a large spread and recoil.

If players manage to acquire this weapon, they may experience an unpredictable chance for a swift hacking technique to automatically target the enemy they are firing at during combat.
