The mid-point between snipers and assault rifles, precision rifles can be powerful one-shotting aids more equipped for various ranges in Cyberpunk 2077. Here’s my ranking for all of them!

All garbage except overwatch
so-21 saika, head toll, and maybe pax for the SOR-22
Hypercritical is what i think a panther assault cannon from shadowrun would be like.
hypercritical was always king just didnt know it yet
i picked up widow maker on a Cowboy themed character and was shocked by how good it was, I desperately tried to fit it into the playstyle but couldn't justify it lol
I use the hypercritical in my pistol belt. Her majesty for stealth, Morian for when the action pops off. I use the hypocritical as a close range large damage option with also the ability to whittle down, stronger photos from the distance.
once you get the hang of bolt shots and start hitting them back to back its a whole different story
For a game that's so incredibly immersive, damage numbers just don't belong in a game like this, It's so distracting.
If you could get into the rhythm of consecutive bolt shots, a 5++ Achilles with Wallpuncher had the highest DPS of any of the rifles. The only thing I found that could put out more damage faster was a very specific Overclock/5++ Paraline/Submachine Fun smart SMG build.
These videos have enhanced my game play and enjoyment of the Night City experience even more. Thanks for doing them. Keep up the good work!
nothing is better than the achilles. widow maker specifically shreds everything at any level
When best SMG 2.1 video?
Hypercritical might be the best gun in the whole game. You can reliably hip-fire with it, so I only ever use the iron sights during Kerenzikov. Sandy builds can just dash around and click heads like it’s going out of style. The only thing it doesn’t absolutely melt is max tac, but once you learn that they’re notably weak to car explosions, it hardly matters.
Yeah nah. There are no precision rifles in this game anymore. There is A precision rifle and that is the SOR-22. Get tier 5++ gun add 2 mods to penetrate armor / or damage to elites (but armor works best) and the Jue long scope and that is the only option to go about playing precision rifle in cyberpunk in 2.1.
Everything else is at this point pseudo shotguns / grenade launchers. They were precision rifles back when widow maker came with a long scope by default and that was perhaps at early months after launch. You can't take the option to attach scopes from the guns and then have the audacity to call them precision rifles. Hell half the "snipers" are in the same state. CDPR did their damn best to kill both long range combat as well as stealth. The Kyubi and Overwatch are the only other weapons that come close to being precision rifles and Kyubi does not even benefit from the proper perks, while Overwatch has way too slow fire rate.
Precision rifles are supposed to be long range (that means long scope or even better sniper scopes), have decent rate of fire and decent damage. If those 3 guns were made to take sniper scopes, AR/SMG muzzles and overwatch was given 40% higher rate of fire and an extra bullet then we would have precision rifles. Everything else here and half the snipers that do explosive damage belong into a category of their own. XD
Does the Achelies have built in electricity damage? I'm using it on a low level character with no perks in tech weapons. The Achelies causes blue pip numbers to finish off enemies and its unmodded. But nothing in its stat sheet says it causes electricity damage.
Hypercritical is one of very very few weapons that can stack Pyromania, which makes it incredible on mitigation based builds.
what is a precision rifle analogous to in the real world? like a battle rifle or what?
I’ve been waiting for this one. Thanks Sam.
love your content bro.
i watch every video.
Gotta say I do miss the way you could absolutely SPAM widowmaker before, it felt so powerful
My least favorite weapon category sadly. Being largely relegated to Ironsightes kinda killed Precision rifles for me.
Does it bother anyone else that NCPD isn't allowed in Dogtown but Max-Tac can be called in? For some reason that just rubs me wrong. Like CDPR could have taken the time to have a Barghest equivalent to Max-Tac for story continuity. It just seems like if a Max-Tac AV showed up in Dogtown they'd instantly have Barghest troops lighting them up before they could land.
Achilles X-MOD w/wallpuncher is my way to play and fav gun
Why did they end up not adding basic Kolac to the game anyway?
I wish Achilles can charge from the hip, after using Satara and Nekomata, I find having to zoom in to charge tech weapons very cumbersome.
I REALLY enjoy the SOR22, wish this class was expanded on for sure. For an early game blunderbus the Widowmaker is always great. Its no wonder you have to do 18 or 19 Regina gigs to unlock the Little Mike one with Hypercritical – that gun is so much fun.
You're clearly spoiling us with content right now, really hope that 100k milestone isnt too far off Sam!
Hypercritical and the NDI Osprey are godlike for hipfiring
Hypercritical is one of my favorites weapons in general
I still miss the unique engineering choice to make it so the Widowmaker shoots 6 bullets in a consistent hexagon. I don't care so much about it being nerfed in terms of damage and amo count as much as they took what made it feel unique away from me.
The SOR-22 never seems as strong as it should be. I tend to think of it as a 'battle rifle' rather than a precision rifle, and use it that way. The 10-round capacity seems very arbitrary (previous to my current game, I used a Nexus mod to give it 22 rounds).
I like the Achilles rifle, but a 'precision rifle' that doesn't mount a scope is simply an absurdity. Nevertheless I haven't modded a scope into my current game, as I want to stream my game with no gameplay-affecting mods at all. I have an aversion to using poison weapons, but the Widowmaker works pretty well as some kind of close-quarter shooter. It still feels contradictory.
Hypercritical is pretty cool, but again, no scope. Personally, I find the Nekomata works the way this class of weapons _should_. Gotta have a scope.
hypercritical is basically johnny's malorian on steroids. pure serotonin.
Tech weapons overall were sadly nerfed and really made pointless (some don't even go through cover, or do less damage). Achilles was my favourite weapon in the past and will be humbly remembered.
I so wish the SOR-22 could take a muzzle slot, it would make a nice counterpoint to Overwatch for stealth-sniping, trading a bit of damage and range for rof and mag size.
Rostovic and Serbia on top RAHHHHHH
