All Weapon Mods Ranked Worst to Best in Cyberpunk 2077 (1.6)

is there a crafting spec for phantom

Phantom x4 (20% more Rate of fire)

You can get a second neon arrow in one of wakakos gigs a later one in a club

Brb need to make a Pimp build with cottonmouth and pink suit and that pink fedora with the tiger stripe band.

It is very annoying how difficult is to locate Neon Arrow, Vendetta, and Phantom.
I also think it’s dumb that melee weapon mods can not be crafted, but their counterparts for ranged weapons can be crafted.

i think you made an error , crunch always adds more damage than pacifier, even at 100% crit chance, and the more crit damage you have the worse it gets.
base crit damage is 50%, a 1.5 multiplier to damage. if your base damage is 100 then crunch would increase it to 107, and a crit to 107*1.5=160.5. but with pacifier the math is 100*1.57=157.

i think, but there is one possible exception, if damage boosts stack linearly(including from perks) then a high damage modifier could make crunch much worse.
if it does then pacifier would be better, because crunch would be almost worthless (except when using a weapon you have not specialized in).

also, fun fact, crunch used to add flat damage.
and the name could be a reference to the poor working conditions that led to the buggy initial release.

Did you gave up the idea of ranking cloth mods ?

You know you can replace a mod that is attached to a weapon. It will just destroy the old one.

I suppose this top is not exactly correct, because mod value significantly depends on your build.
e.g. legendary short circuit with high intelligence is causing very high electric damage procs on crits, so high crit chance makes any weapon one-shoting enemies regardless on it's natural damage, so crit chance mods become absurdly powerful

Can confirm the combat amplifier is showing up in the city center gun shop. Had to cycle the vendors inventory once and then it was there. :)
Great video, I love how much you delve into the intricacies of the game.

Smg with fire rate % is op

you keep giving out awful advice for Skippy...

the way skippy works is pick body or head > take out 50 enemies > Skippy switches and LOCKs itself to choice you didn't pick

so for most damage from Skippy even tho he will scream at you pick Passivist > then get locked into headshot mode forever

Psalm 11:6 + 3 amplifiers+ counter mass❤

If you fully do reflex attribute and particulary skill up assault perk section with whole 20 levels of skill progression, and i think just damage, crit, and penetration mods are just enough.

Man, this game is having the most fucked up way of skills, perks, and mods for armor and weapons. It needs a complete overhaul of the entire system.

Kinda messes with the thinking to go so complex and experiment the while game instead of enjoying and playing it to the fullest.

Future patches must include a system where we could choose 4 or more unique mods based on what weapons we are using like for example:

Unique set of mods for power weapons all together.

Tech weapons separate.

Smart weapons separate.

Me clicking the video thinking it was actually gun mods…

could you rank armor mods next?

what about autoloader? also from what i understand of PAX theres like a hidden 1%hp that if crossed kills if not knocks them out. lets say its 15 HP for some gonk your shooting and this gonk has 20 HP left and your last hit rolls a 36 there dead but if you roll a 30 there knocked out. PAX stops the finial hit and states effects from removing that last little bit of HP but if they do get knocked you and you hit them once again even with PAX it will kill them. IMO one of the best weapons to put PAX one to deal with cyberpsycho is the Fenrir add on Combat amps get them down to 1% and let the burn finish them off.

Do you have clothing mods on your list of items to cover?

increased damage until you get enough points in Cool and then increase crit chance.

Holy shit I didn't even know half of these existed because I only ever found 2 types of mods in my playthrough

I will say that I prefer Pax over the Kiroshi mod, simply because Pax doesn't nullify headshot dmg. The 3% dmg boost on top of that isn't too shabby either

Pax keeps headshot bonuses, Target Analysis removes it, so that is worth considering

Is Combat Amplifier worth putting on weapons with Elemental damage? I'm wondering about boosting Mox's thermal damage 20% in particular? Looking to go with that or with Crunch. I'm still thinking combat amplifier still make sense for those longer range shots.

Have you tried telling Skippy not to switch modes?

one of my favorite mods puts every single weapon mod in a store u can access via the pc in your apartment.

I've been using combat amplifier wrong since launch...

im 45 hours in and i still cant find melee mod blueprints at weapon vendors XD my byakko hungers for legendary mods

I got an LMG from a cyberpsycho mission once which had no vertical recoil as per statcard. Combining that with countermass was absolutely busted

Please make a video showing the best mods for different gun types!!!!!

The Pax is heavily underrated, unlike the non-lethal optics mod it doesn't affect headshot damage (Eyewear mod specifically states headshots no longer get a damage multiplier. With a Pax on a silenced pistol I get the full multiplier non-lethal headshots for easy work on cyberpsychos.

And here I have been stacking Crunch on everything! You just blew my mind with the combat amp mod at #1!

Hey Sam, you seemed to suggest not installing weapon mods on your good weapons until after you can make the legendary versions of those mods. While you can't remove weapon mods you can overwrite them, so definitely put those lesser versions in and then replace when you have better.
I'll also check when I get home how many of the reload speed mods I have. My current play through has 3 or 4, and I don't think I'd ever had less than 3. When I'm doing a non reflex/ handgun build I tend to put those mods into my dying light to cheese the quest at Wilson's.
Edit: Ok, I've checked my stash for my current play through and I have for the Phantom mods (rate of fire), 2x common, 3x uncommon and 2x epic versions of the mod. Note that they all give 5% rof, and I suspect that people might not notice the more common variants, just look for the red wire to the connecting pin.

Is there a remove mods mod?

Anyone else remember when Countermass eliminated vertical recoil?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Just add Crunch to everything.

not sure I fully understand that last one, but glad to hear it's so good! I'll give it a try

Hi, im almost ending the game and i need to know, the game has new game plus? I want to see diferent options but keep what i already have 🤣

Please do vehicles next I'm really looking forward

Hey Sam, doing a video comparison of all the status effects is doable? I don't think I've seen anyone doing it and I'll be nice to see the differences on dps on things like fire, poison, electric etc

Next do a combat music ranked from best to worst

I keep hearing Death and Taxes is a one-shot pistol, I think implying it’s double damage. As far as I can tell though, it’s 2 x 50% damage instead so I generally just use Jackie’s pistols. Thoughts? What is it really?

Have you thought of ranking knives next? Very stealthy and satisfying weapon but I’m not sure which one I should chase after(3 semi-full playthru’s of 60-80 hours each)

I hope you'll be doing a top 50 funny glitches.

wait im confused are you saying ying long and johnny's gun are the no pre-standing type guns that benefit the most? You worded that last mod description weirdly

Does the crit mod for melee weapons not stack with the inbuilt crit chance that they already have? Does the game select which ever chance is higher?

Dude your videos are genuinely amazing to watch I've been binge watching them for the past few days as you get straight to the point without dragging the time while being damn funny too. I hope this channel blows up one day so that everyone can appreciate how good and detailed your content is.

This has become my go to cp 2077 channel. Keep up the good work bud !!

Is 7% more crit damage not just strictly worse than 7% more overall damage?
