In the gritty world of Cyberpunk 2077, Night City never sleeps and neither should you when it comes to making smart choices. When dealing with some of its most notorious gangs, it’s often wiser to employ a stealthy approach rather than charging in guns blazing. That’s why I always make sure to pack the top-tier stealth weapons for Cyberpunk 2077, each boasting unique modifiers tailored to your playstyle. And don’t forget to outfit them with a reliable suppressor for those silent takedowns that ensure my survival in this unforgiving metropolis.
For those aiming to enhance stealth gameplay in Cyberpunk 2077, these weapons will serve as an ideal foundation for a covert collection of deadly force, ensuring that opponents remain oblivious to the fact that V is orchestrating a series of stealthy eliminations against some of Night City’s toughest adversaries.

- How to Get Death and Taxes: Found in Maiko Maeda’s office in Clouds, or later inside Judy’s Apartment after completing Ex-Factor.
In a covert scenario, if players seek a proficient silent weapon, attaching a suppressor to the barrel of the Death and Taxes pistol becomes essential. The Death and Taxes is a Power Pistol, which means it deals more damage than regular pistols, and this enhanced performance is bolstered by its distinctive modifier.
Every bullet discharged by Death and Taxes increases the damage, so a strong strike could deplete some of V’s health. However, instead of reducing their own health, the lost health is transformed into lethal power that quickly eliminates anyone V aims at, making Death and Taxes an exceptionally potent and manageable pistol.

A present from Panam Palmer is something everyone would be eager to keep, particularly when it’s a two-handed sniper rifle with the power to take out targets, should V choose to aim at them through this exceptional Aldecaldos weapon. One of the rare snipers featuring an integrated silencer, what sets this apart is its distinctive modifier, making it truly outstanding.
The weapon in Overwatch boosts reload speed and multiplies headshot damage by 300%, making it incredibly powerful, particularly in long-range stealth battles or for players daring enough to employ a sniper in close quarters combat for added damage.

Customizing its scope, muzzle, and additional slots lets players tailor their Kyubi X-MOD2 for optimal performance in line with their specific gameplay styles, resulting in an exceptionally effective Assault Rifle for stealth combat scenarios.
Without a doubt, a suppressor will prove indispensable, but what sets the X-MOD 2 apart is its ability to accommodate extra upgrades. The enticing stats of increased headshot damage and armor piercing make this weapon an irresistible choice for any discerning player.

The hawk symbolizes Rosalind Myers, NUSA President, who uses cunning and swift vengeance against her adversaries, undermining those attempting to seize her authority. With V now possessing this Assault Rifle, the Hawk can lay waste to opponents by weakening them with strategic headshots.
In addition, headshots inflict a 175% increased damage, making hit targets vulnerable for further harm. They also stagger the enemy, temporarily disabling their ability to retaliate, allowing three consecutive shots to eliminate them.

In an eternal tribute to Jackie Welles, I can’t help but feel his spirit by my side as I wield his trusted firearm. Although he may not physically join me in the grand leagues of the Afterlife, his gun serves as a symbolic extension of him. It’s more than just a weapon; it’s a connection to Jackie, a reminder of his unparalleled skill and enduring legacy. With each pull of the trigger, I feel his presence, and I know that this gun is not only a testament to his life but also a formidable ally in its own right, boasting an impressive arsenal of skills.
As a gamer, consistently landing headshots will not only boost my critical damage and burn chances but also grant me additional ammunition for the next battle, equivalent to the number of previous headshots achieved.

As a gamer, I’m all about that pride, but this game pistol makes sure it never turns into a fall. With Rogue’s trusty pistol in my grip, I can pull off the ultimate brag-worthy moment – a guaranteed critical hit on the first shot. Plus, if I’ve got some health to spare, those precision headshots pack an even bigger punch, even against Elite enemies. Best part? I don’t find myself running low on health while sneaking around, which keeps the pride flowing!
Pride’s special bond with Rogue’s other weapon, Prejudice, means they run out of ammunition temporarily. However, this feature is most beneficial due to the high health potential it offers, making follow-up headshots even more damaging against unsuspecting opponents.

- How to Get Pariah: Taken from Solomon Reed in The Killing Moon.
The Tech Pistol known as “Pariah” is an exceptional choice for those less inclined towards cyberware, since it doesn’t necessitate a Smart Link to be activated. This handgun allows players to discharge three shots simultaneously, with each shot delivering full damage. Consequently, a skillfully aimed headshot can instantly neutralize any adversary foolish enough to approach V.
The Pariah weapon comes equipped with a hidden suppressor, ensuring that unless an adversary manages to survive or doesn’t witness a lethal skirmish, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to trace the source of the fire. In addition, its rapid recharge time of 0.75 seconds and headshot multiplier of 175% will make players experience the raw might of Solomon Reed’s gun, helping them comprehend why he stands among NUSA’s elite.

- How to Get Her Majesty: Rewarded to V during the Phantom Liberty mission Get It Together.
As a gamer, I received a remarkable gift called “Her Majesty” from Alex. This badass piece in Dogtown showcases the unmatched power and accuracy of a NUSA agent, equipped with a small yet potent package. Her Majesty sports a built-in silencer, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The real appeal lies in its seamless compatibility with the Optical Camo cyberware. This union grants additional stealth bonuses for those who enjoy blending into the shadows and staying undetected – essentially turning invisible!
While using the Optical Camo, players will achieve unerring precision with their shots on the Queen figure, and headshots will inflict both additional critical damage and standard damage, in addition to the existing headshot bonus damage.
