It’s important that players know of the best SMGs inCyberpunk 2077, as they might just save V’s life. SMGs are a great weapon for those who adore a grand scale of DPS, as their rapid-fire and use of Iconic Modifiers can truly make them an elitist class of weapons that are capable ofmaking V a Night City Legendwith the pull of a trigger.
There are 9 Iconic SMGs inCyberpunk 2077, and players might want to know where to find them all and which of them is worth grabbing to finish V’s collection and to use against the dreadedcorruption and gangs of Night City.

Rounds deal Electrical damage with a chance to disable enemy cyberware.

Fenrir certainly has a sparky bite to it thanks to the fact that bullets will deal electrical damage. However, the random chance and the even more random effect to disable enemy cyberware is too unpredictable and just not as efficient as other SMGs that willhave players chippin' in.

Deals additional Electrical damage with a small chance to apply an EMP on impact.
Yinglong is a fairly decent and competent SMG that benefits from its range and damage output, and the addition of electrical damage canapply EMPs to enemiesto provide the advantageous benefit of disabling enemy cyberware, but like most, Shock Chance doesn’t outweigh the benefit of other SMGs.

Fires explosive rounds. The modified automated targeting system guides bullets to up to 3 targets while aiming.
A decent amount of damage thanks to its explosive rounds, the Shingen SMG can have a variety of fun methods of warfare, but only to thosewith a Smart Link cyberwareinstalled due to its aiming system. Automatically firing at 3 different enemies is great for being outnumbered, but the damage multipliers do not hold up against other superior choices.

Gain increased movement speed on kills and dismemberment. The faster you move, the more damage you deal. BARGHEST weapons also gain increased Armor Penetration.
Chesapeake holds the same iconic modifiers as other BARGHEST weapons, where increased Armor Penetration means superior stats. The Chesapeake is fairly decent, and weapons with high DPS like the SMG do indeed benefit from the intrinsic modifier to allow for faster movement speeds on kills, which both further increases the damage dealt from the weapon and the speed that players can move at while shooting.

Removes all safety and reason by firing almost 1000 rounds per minute.
There isn’t much to the Problem Solver that can’t be summed up in one sentence: it shoots very fast. Problem Solver doesn’t have restrictions like other SMGs, andthe uncapped fire ratemeans players can expunge all their ammo rather fast, but its high rate of fire might just make players eat all the ammo they have.

The longer this weapon fires, the greater the Crit chance. Comes with its own custom silencer.
Pizdets is the perfect SMGfor those who adore stealththanks to its built-in silencer that allows for suppressed gameplay. However, silencers aren’t the best for SMGs due to their low damage, as players won’t exactly kill enemies with one-shot just because a silencer is installed. Yet, that doesn’t remove from the cool factor, and the longer players hold down the trigger, the faster the gun fires and the better the crit chance.

Shots do not require charging to penetrate obstacles. Headshots have a greater Crit Chance.
If walls and cover are too annoying to deal with, then try out the Raiju SMG which will completely ignore the boundaries of physical space by allowing players to penetrate obstacles with their uncharged shots. Headshots deal a vicious amount of damage, and its full auto fire is lethal like no other.

Buzzsawworks great for surgeons and ripperdocswho just can’t handle a patient (enemy) having all their limbs. Buzzsaw will absolutely shred through enemies thanks to the fact that its high-penetration rounds will deal increased damage to enemy limbs.

Rounds fired from this weapon are infused with the dark energy from beyond the Blackwall. Highly effective against enemies with low Health.
If players are fascinated by the Blackwall and the rogue AIs that lurk within, then Erebus is a vital must-have for them. This SMG uses the Blackwall, both as a gun that speaks to V and hacks enemies to melt their brains with their own cyberware. Each bullet inflicts infection, and the lower the enemy’s health, the more damage and chance that they will explode in Blackwall corruption.
