Out of all the Phantom Liberty weapons you can grab in the new Cyberpunk 2077 expansion, Iconic weapons are the most powerful. These unique guns and blades each come with their own special ability that massively alters the way you play. It might be something simple like Kyubi X-MOD2's extra mod slots, or something more elaborate like GRIS-GRIS's chance to upload a quick hack to an enemy when you shoot them.
I've broken them down into three sections to make things easier. World and Airdrop weapons are those you can grab around Dogtown, side gig weapons come from completing specific side quests for Mr. Hands, while the main quest ones only appear at certain points in the expansion story, depending on your choices.
Be a little more careful with that last section, since some Iconic weapons are tied to story spoilers. Otherwise, here are all the Iconic weapons I've found in Phantom Liberty so far.
These are Iconic weapons you can find while exploring Dogtown and raiding Increased Criminal Activity gang dens, as well as the free Iconic weapons you can get for owning other CDPR games.
You can find this gun in the Increased Criminal Activity zone in Terra Cognita in the south of Dogtown. A gang of scavs has taken over an abandoned space convention centre. Once cleared—watch out for the Arasaka Drone boss inside—head right up the escalator from the main entrance and into the shop to find it in case.
This gun is found in the Increased Criminal Activity Barghest hideout in south Dogtown, close to the Kress Street fast travel point. Fight your way inside, kill Ross Ulmer, take his access card, then use it to open the stash just through the door which he emerged from. The gun is in a case inside.
You can get this axe by killing and looting Ayo Zarin in the Increased Criminal Activity Voodoo Boys hideout right by the Luxor High Wellness Spa fast travel point in north Dogtown. She's quite a tough boss, with both a melee and a ranged phase, so be sure to take out the other Voodoo Boys in the room first to stop them from hacking and shooting you.
This gun is found at the bottom of the big circular pool of water just across the street from the Golden Pacific fast travel point in the centre of Dogtown. If you swim down, you'll find it resting on a concrete block tied to some poor guy's feet.
This melee weapon is located in Terra Cognita in south Dogtown, close to the Increased Criminal Activity scav hideout in the convention centre. When leaving the main entrance, turn right and run straight ahead, through the scaffolding, into the ravine, and past all of the buttresses until you reach the end. You'll find this chainsword stuck in the head of a guy buried up to his neck in the dirt.
This weapon is free to anyone who owns both Phantom Liberty and Gwent and links their Steam account to GOG. If you do all that, it'll appear in your stash.
You can get this sword for free if you own The Witcher 3 and Phantom Liberty, and link accounts between Steam and GOG.
There are three Iconic weapons with the same unique perk that you can get randomly from the airdrop activity in Dogtown.
These are weapons you can get as part of the side gigs you do for Mr. Hands in Dogtown, some of which depend on the choices you make in each mission:
You get this gun by killing and looting Angie in the No Easy Way Out side gig that Coach Fred contacts you about when you've been in Dogtown for a little while.
You get this gun if you choose to save Hasan by calling Mr. Hands in the Prototype in the Scrapper side gig, and making sure he doesn't get sent back to Zetatech. A while after the quest is complete, Hands will send you a message saying Hasan wants to meet. When you do he'll give you this gun as thanks.
You can get this gun during the Treating the Symptoms side gig. You need to kill and loot the Robot R MK.II boss in the final room of the Voodoo Boy's hideout. It's quite a tough boss since it'll go invisible and wake up other robots in its second phase. Make sure to use the cover around the sides of the room to pick them off.
You can get this gun if you let Dante kill Bree in the Shot By Both Sides side gig that Mr. Hands contacts you about, or if you kill Dante instead. If you do the latter, Bree will put Riskit down on a crate in the room and leave it there for you to take.
You get this weapon by killing and looting Dante in the Shot By Both Sides side gig that Mr. Hands contacts you about.
You can get this gun from the suitcase in the DA's VIP Suite on the upper floor of Heavy Hearts during the Heaviest of Hearts side gig.
You'll get this gun from Mr. Hands for visiting him at Heavy Hearts and accepting the Run this Town quest when he calls to ask you.
These are, understandably, a bit more spoilery as they relate to the main quest, so proceed with caution. It's worth noting that, depending on your choices, only some of these weapons are available:
This gun is a little more complicated to get than most. First, you have to grab the Slider's Hideout keycard that's located in the office of the Voodoo Boy's base you visit in the Treating Symptoms side gig. This is just next door to their Increased Criminal Activity hideout at Luxor High Wellness Spa. Now, head to Slider's hideout. You can either do this in the quest when you go there, or can come back afterwards. In the room where the big server boss was, head to the upper floor to find a door you can now open. The gun is in a case just inside.
During the main quest, Alex will give you this gun in the safehouse right before you head off on the Black Diamond mission.
You get this gun for completing the sniper nest sequence in the Black Diamond mission.
You can get this from the case on the left in the armoury of Alex's safehouse during the Birds With Broken Wings mission.
If you side with Reed instead of Songbird, you can get this machine gun by killing and looting Kurt Hanson when you are escaping the stadium.
If you side with Reed instead of Songbird, you can get this revolver by killing and looting Kurt Hanson when you are escaping the stadium.
If you side with Reed instead of Songbird, you can get this knife by killing and looting Kurt Hanson when you are escaping the stadium.
If you choose to side with Songbird, you'll get this from killing and looting Murphy as you escape the stadium.
You get this weapon for choosing to kill Reed and then looting him in the final quest.
