If you’re having trouble figuring out how to use smart weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, then you’ve come to the right place. The chaotic Night City is home to various modern and futuristic weapons, but none are more useful in effortlessly taking down enemies than these cybernetically enhanced armaments. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t include a tutorial showing players how these guns work, so you may be struggling with them if you’re just starting out.

Of course, before you start blasting random thugs in the game, you’ll first need to learn how to use attribute points in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. If you simply want to learn how these smart weapons work, though, we’ll be taking a look at what you need to do below so you can start utilizing them effectively.

How do you use smart weapons in Phantom Liberty?

To use smart weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, you will need to purchase and equip the Smart Link Cyberware implant from a Ripperdoc. This will allow you to use the smart-targeting module in smart weapons, which enables bullets and other projectiles from these equipment to track your enemies in real time.

Once you’ve equipped the Smart Link implant, you’ll be able to shoot at enemies from behind cover as long as you’ve tagged them beforehand. Having this in your arsenal is especially useful if you’re surrounded by a group of combatants since you won’t need to expose yourself to multiple streams of gunfire.

Like all Cyberware implants, you can also upgrade the Smart Link to higher tiers. Naturally, upgrading these equipment will grant you greater bonuses, which include improved accuracy and increased critical damage among others, so we recommend acquiring these enhancements whenever possible to make taking down combatants easier.
