With the massive perks and attribute overhaul brought by Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty 2.0, smart weapon builds have finally found their place in the meta. Smart weapons boast a neat feature called Smart Link, which allows the weapon to automatically aim at your target. Although the shots inflict less damage compared to your usual guns, the accuracy is well worth the trade.

Among the best smart weapons in the game are Prototype Shingen Mark V, which fires explosive rounds and Pizdets. These blows increase the fire rate with each shot. For this smart weapon build, we will focus on these firearms, along with the Intelligence, Reflexes, and Technical Ability perks.
