Blunt weapons can serve as the most random assortment of everyday items in Cyberpunk 2077, or indeed some of the strongest, most deadly damage dealers in the game. It varies…
In this video I attempt to break down and rank all 13 Blunt Weapons from worst to best, in order to determine which are better for varying playthroughs. This list is of course my opinion, and I’m more than happy to hear how everybody elses differ from mine. But whether you agree with me or not, I hope this video provides you with a decent overview on this games Blunt Weapons, and you learn a thing or two along the way…
You can check out more of my cyberpunk content on the channel. I’d specifically recommend my Pistols Ranked video, if you’re after the widest range of compact guns in Night City. (24 to be exact!) https://youtu.be/E6ZOqq341Kg
Alternatively, if you’re wanting to lean more into netrunning, here’s my overview and ranking for all Quickhacks in the game: https://youtu.be/brFKGlqgh80

Cottonmouth is definitely my favorite. Also I went into my first playthrough totally blind, so I didn't know there even was an option to get a scene with Merideth
Anything can be a blunt weapon if you are brave enough.
I was just starting a Body/cool build with shotguns, machine guns and blunt weapons. I have barely used any of those weapon classes in my previous playthroughs, but Cottonmouth is definitely my favourite!
During my first playthrough I went all pistol build and suffered greatly from the Beat on the Brat missions. Luckily I had Sir PS and the pick items when brawling hadn't yet been implemented. So I whacked my meat across all of their faces up to and including the reigning champ! 😀
For blunt dps though, gorilla arms.
For anyone curious, as of 1.61, there are 22 non-iconic Melee Weapons; 19 of them have available Crafting Specs. Claw, Cut-O-Matic, and Razor are those exclusions.
The legendary steel pipe is almost as expensive as the Glen loft apartment. It must be made out of solid palladium or something.
4:15 My understanding is that this isn't a bug. You just need to first gain access to the gym by paying or threatening the guard outside as part of the Beat on the Brat quest line before the interior of the gym will become non-hostile.
Things like pipes, tire irons, crowbars and wrenches are slob weapons I disdain. It might have made sense to have these more readily available to a very low-level V, but IMO they are simply salable junk in almost every case.
The Hammer may be okay for an actual Brawler build, but I never go there. Too heavy and slow…more salable junk. Sasquatch's Hammer might make a good trophy, if we were ever given that option. The batons are useful enough…I like to keep a low-level example in my ready stash for non-lethal encounters.
I love the look of the kanubo and prefer it over the common baseball bat, DPS and etc. all else being equal. Nevertheless I do like the baseball bat, particularly the more elaborate ones with bolts in the business end. Always keep one handy.
The one time I tried to use Tinkerbelle it proved lethal when I didn't want it to be…never used it since. The whole 'lethality' mechanic in this game is highly unreliable, I find…you still have to be very careful.
I have no interest or enthusiasm for the weapons you get in the endgame of CP77. I've never really played The Witcher games, so the Caretaker's Spade makes no sense to me.
Denny's gold bat is simply too lethal, and since I don't generally play as a Brawler, it just gets stashed.
Sir John Phallusstaff…just, no. In my current game I didn't interact with Meredith at all, so I have access to the Maelstrom weapon shop instead. The item itself has never gone anywhere except my stash where it remains a souvenir of an all-too-brief tryst with a mature woman who definitely knows what she wants and sets out to get it, unlike the other romanceable women in the game.
Never used Cottonmouth…poison weapons I find rather revolting. I don't even like the chemical damage guns in the game…any I find usually get sold or traded at the earliest opportunity. Can't resist the souvenir of visiting the second-most loathsome ripperdoc in Night City, however.
finding a regular wooden bat with no nails on my first playthrough instantly triggered a "drop every idea of building into the cool hacking and slow downy stuff with the over the top night city dress style, find a white wifebeater and some black jeans….. become the bearrrrrrjew" response
You dont even need to do the fingers mission. I got it when i was going from ripper to ripper searching for legendary cyberware. The door was open for me to go to
For Cottonmouth, you don't even need to wait until the quest. At any point after the heist, you can visit Fingers and take the weapon from his bedroom which is unlocked.
Most of these are pointless when you compare them to the Gorilla Arms, where every single hit is basically a nuke
"Kannabo" is the wooden stick/club, metal would be the "tetsubo", meaning iron stick/club.
Imagine V buying an iconic tire iron for an equivalent of an apartment or a car lmao. Vs who bought it respond to Nigerian prince emails after being scammed this way already, that's how prone to being scammed they are lol
I literally only use throwing knives in cyberpunk. My whole build is centered around it. It's a shame the throwing knife mechanic is mostly a novelty
Hey man thank you for making these videos, they help a lot whenever I wanna choose which weapon to make my builds around.
The weapon vendor at the Animals base becomes non-hostile after beating Rhino as part of the Beat on the Brat quest. Although this may change based on how you take out Logan Garcia as part of the fixer quest.
I used cotton mouth for a while till I got a good set of gorilla arms.
I used the shovel to kill Adam Smasher despite not having a build that works with it.
STOP using sandevistan, slow-mo is for cowards, get yourself a Berserk)
that weapon vendor has always been bugged for me but it's hilarious that he's basically buying from me like "Good doing business with you! But if I actually see you, whooever you are, I'll kill you!"
My blunt weapon build was basically just a sandevistan and gorilla arms
Monkey wrench. Red outfit and balaclava. Roleplay as Super.
SHUT UP, CRIME!
Does the baton you receive form Meredith with nudity turned off have worse stats? It would be pretty funny and weird. Is it just a reskin or you just get a normal baton? And I think it's kind of worse because it implies she pleasures herself with a police baton?!? That's not more pg13 somehow
For that price the pipe and the tire iron from that vendor should be gold played like the baseball bat and it still might be a ripoff
Blunt weapons really are the Roleplay weapon series. Wrenches with a Shotgun and turret tamer? You’re the engineer from TF2. And the others that Sam already mentioned.
As you mentioned Sam, I am in fact putting the final touches on my Night City Slammer (which is their baseball team’s name) which spec’s fully into Cool and Tech with a 16 to Brawler, for Bats, Grenades, A Dylanar sandevistan to steal bases, and cool for any slugger’s inflated ego. Little monotonous, so I’ve peppered in my own thunderstruck emp build (Great minds, am I right?)
Speaking on the emp build, the one perk in Brawler that ups defenses while blocking can make for a decent defense if you’re a “jump into the fray” netrunner. And I’ve noticed in my gameplay that the shocks from batons do more damage on any mechanical enemies.
Counter perk do leave a lot to be desired, like a melee focused arena the combat zone. Only outside typical damage I’ve used is the blades offensive defense and the dodge damage, which makes one shoting enemies during Kerezikov a breeze.
Otherwise I’m sure others have mentioned by fighting and beating Rhino and not taking place in the Logan gig, the vendor at the gym will remain neutral.
I guess we’re on to Knives now? A stealth run, a combat thrown, and a combat in hand. Don’t envy the replay of runs, especially with the slow re-equip of some knives. But I’m excited, the true best of melee is soon to come! Best to you and everybody else out there!
Another great video, I wondered how you would handle good 'ole Sir John! I also like how you indeed noticed how the tinkerbell cattle prod makes more electric sizzling in the air, if you ever had to be hit by a hand taser and or heard one activated it does make that clicking-electric sound in real life as the electricity jumps between the ends of the prongs. The only reason I know is because during guard certification in the state I live in you have to undergo training overseen by police instructors if you wish to carry pepper spray or a hand taser or baton as part of your kit when on guard duty legally. Part of passing the curriculum is to experience first hand the receiving end of these less than lethal tools you use. SO I have been pepper sprayed and tasered by a hand taser by police instructors. For firearms all you need is to pass the required state regulations of owning a firearm and receive basic firearms training at any state qualified instructor, some of which do refresh training with officers almost year around in their courses.
As for my favorite blunt weapons I actually have a Mox Themed character that resembles Rita Wheeler at Lizzies, I know there is a V model replacement to Rita's model but I haven't tried it yet. She is a high body character with cool and is street kid origin, uses blunt objects preferably bats and shotguns.
However Sir John Phallustiff is my absolute favorite- obviously a joke weapon but crude immature humor will always delight me even though I am up in years there's no replacement for crude jokes. Like how some town / city names can have innuendo meanings or outright sound crude in modern vernacular. Towns and city names like Brest, Intercourse, Twatt, Cocks, Dildo, Climax, Wank, Erect, Dickshooter, Butte, and a whole plethora of other town / city names across the world some of which are too on the nose that I've listed but some of these places I have visited or passed through. I couldn't stop laughing when I passed through Idaho and saw signs for Dickshooter during a road trip to visit places that interested me across America in my 30's. I didn't have the time to take a near 12 hour road course change to see the place for myself but it tickles my imagination and maybe I'll visit it in my 40's.
Once again cheers and I hope all who read this far good health!
I think theres a severe lack of blunt weapons, the Baton, Bat and Hammer definitely hit the mark, but I'd have loved a 'sword and shield' type riot gear option perhaps – either way they're severely underloved compared to even just the Katana, let alone all the blades.
For sir John, you can turn on a nudity filter from the main menu which makes it yt safe
I feel like Sir John would have been even funnier if it could have also been throwable
My top 3 blunt weapons:
– Cottonmouth (highest DPS for me)
– Legendary Gorilla Arms (with feedback circuit, you're healing 10% of your HP every time you land a punch and you become a drain tank!………………. So long as you don't use the strong attack)
– Gold-Plated Baseball bat (highest damage with one attack)
(Sir Phallustiff just doesn't have the same reach as the Gold-plated baseball bat. It does attack faster, though. The attack speed is the same as Cottonmouth for me, but with less base damage, so overall DPS is actually the same as the Gold-Plated Baseball Bat)
I don't mind paying 35000 for a nova monkey wrench in-game. Because in real life you can't duplicate stacks of items to not only acquire the wrench but every other item the vendor has and all the money they have for bartering.
60k gun…..well the atf would love to tax guns that much
What would you rate the gorilla arms tho?
I appreciate the humor. Great video.
great stuff!
2:00 it still transfer enemies's bloob from their head to the floor
The best part of this video lad is that you did not have to end up censoring any of it.
fun fact: in Polish version Sir John Phallustiff is called Pan Twardeusz. It's combination of word "twardy" (hard) and name of a book written by Adam Mickiewicz – "Pan Tadeusz"
I usually end up going with gorilla arms for blunt damage, then go back through and execute the "survivors" with a gun to get the rewards. Cause you have to kill them to get the bounties.
