Iconic Modifiers
Grants a chance to inflict a unique burn on the enemy. Shooting an enemy affected by this burn always deals Crit Damage. The more enemies simultaneously affected by this burn, the more Crit Damage you deal but at the cost of accuracy.
The Alabai Shotgun is all about providingV with a city to burn, as this weapon has a unique burn effect that will have those impacted take extra Crit Damage. Due to the burn, more Crit Damage isn’t going to do all that much, and the fact that players lose accuracy with each enemy burning doesn’t warrant using this.

Increases knockdown, bleeding and dismemberment chance. Enemies deprived of their limbs increase your reload speed and Crit Chance.
Bloody Maria has a moderately successful Iconic Modifier that only makes it slightly better than just the standard set of Shotguns. Bloody Maria’sincreased chance to commit to knockdown, bleeding, and dismemberment makes for a nice weapon indeed, but destroying limbs just to reload faster doesn’t do all that much.

Judy’s mods give this shotgun extra lightness and precision. When enemies get close, your Shock and Knockdown chance is increased.
Judy is one of the best characters inCyberpunk 2077, and her Shotgun is proof of that. It’s a nice enough weapon, and its lightweight feel and precise aiming make for a tightly spread and accurate Shotgun, one that has further advancements thanks to its increased chance for Shock and Knockdown, but only if enemies are close.

Guaranteed Crit Hits with point-blank shots. Increased reload speed and movement speed after shooting an enemy in the torso.
Those who like to get truly personal with their enemies will like Sovereign, a double-barrel Shotgun that benefits from getting really close thanks to the point-blank shots provided. While headshots might be better, torso shots will provide reload speed andmovement speed boosts.

Fires a single round instead of pellets. Coupled with a unique scope, this shotgun gains ridiculous accuracy for its range. Headshots momentarily increase reload speed and accuracy and a subsequent headshot deals Crit Damage.
The Headsman fires a single round, removing what is expected of the pellet spread of a Shotgun thanks to the fact that it is well-uniformed, complete with a scope for medium-range engagements. It has decent accuracy and range, but the Headsman also suffers from a slow fire rate, even if powerful headshotsdeal more Crit Damagethan normal.

A rocket launcher that fires explosive rounds. This weapon can smart-target up to six enemies simultaneously. Everything caught in the blast radius is torn to shreds. Be careful - that goes for you too. At low Health, reload speed and Burn chance is increased.
If players want a Rocket Launcher inCyberpunk 2077, then they should try out the Ba Xing Chong, a Shotgun that behaves more like an explosive weapon than something with some buckshot. Ba Xing Chong is utterly lethal, but that comes at the cost of players also being within the firing line thanks to explosive splash damage.

Charging this weapon above 66% vaporizes any enemies in your path, leaving an EMP trail behind it.
While some players might not want to charge shotguns, it means extra damage to perform what one would expect froma brutal railgun. Order benefits from its charged fire mode, as it will deal extended damage to those impacted by its blast for more damage in its double-barrel design.

Neutralizing an enemy engulfs you in flames except when your Health is low, granting a movement speed boost and increases Mitigation Chance.
Dezerter is a weapon that truly benefits from the right build due to its collaboration with being set on fire and utilizing Mitigation Chance to entirely avoid taking damage while remaining on fire. Dezerter will set players on fire with each kill, increasing their speed and Mitigation Chance. While fast speeds is nice, Mitigation Chance can be risky, especially with constant burning.

Gain increased movement speed on kills and dismemberment. The faster you move, the more damage you deal. BARGHEST weapons also gain increased Armor Penetration
Attachments
BARGHEST weapons all act rather similar, and Amstaff joins the list by providing increased movement speed to kills and dismemberment, and increased damage based on movement speed. It’s a weapon that works great for those who love to keep on the move and like to stay fast and agile.

Shoot faster, deal more damage… accuracy be damned.
Fans of Rebecca fromCyberpunk: Edgerunnersmight want to use Guts as a way to remember her, but that’s not the only reason to check out this Shotgun. It’s Iconic, can be obtained early in-game, and has a fast rate of fire and lethal damage burst that only suffers from a lack of accuracy and reduction of movement speed and jump height.
