5 best Tech weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty 2.0

Tech weapons are some of the fanciest weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty 2.0 with their futuristic design and cutting-edge mechanics. These weapons use railgun technology, launching projectiles powered by electromagnetic charges. While they may have a slower rate of fire, they compensate with their penetration capabilities.

It is important to note that Tech weapons need to be charged before firing; otherwise, they'll work like standard weapons. If you haven't tried these weapons before, now is the time to make a switch with the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion.
