WhileCyberpunk 2077had many problems,CD Projekt RED fixed many of them, elevating the game to new heights. Everything from the combat to crafting mechanics has been revamped, giving players more than enough reasons to keep returning for more.
Speaking of crafting mechanics, if you want to survive Night City, you will need to have the best weapons out there. While there are some rare weapons to find, you can craft legendary weapons that will allow you to eliminate enemies with ease. Keeping this in mind, this guide will cover everything there is to know about crafting legendary weapons inCyberpunk 2077, along with other useful information.
Steps for Crafting Legendary Weapons in Cyberpunk 2077
It is worth notingthe crafting system is not like it wasduring the game’s launch, and the overall system has been improved. However, the biggest tweak was the removal of loot rarity. Previously, they were categorized as:
After the 2.0 update, loot rarity was replaced with Tiers, starting with the weakest weapons categorized as Tier 1, while the most powerful weapons are categorized as Tier 5. Fortunately, the color scheme remains the same, and they are as follows:
Before the 2.0 update, players had to increase their Technical Ability to be able to craft anything, meaning they would need a 20 Technical Ability rating to be able to craft legendary weapons. Since this system was frustrating, CD Projekt Red removed it for good.
Now, if you want to craft legendary weapons, here is what you need to do:
you may get blueprints after completing main gigs bylooting secret stashesor by purchasing them from a couple of vendors.
Note: When you pick a weapon for the first time, you will unlock its blueprint. Even if you sell that weapon, you can craft a new one whenever you want.
If you are looking for components to craft legendary weapons, you’re able to find them throughout Night City.
Just like weapons, components are also categorized by Tiers.
Before the update, you would have to gather all sorts of items to craft legendary weapons, but now you need to collect the required components to do so.
Since legendary weapons require Tier 5 components, the game will hand them out sparingly when your character is just starting out. As you progress and gain XP, you will get more Tier 5 components, thus making it easier for you to craft legendary weapons.
