Players can get their hands on two missable iconic handguns in Cyberpunk 2077 thanks to the Phantom Liberty expansion. These weapons, Ol’ Reliable and Riskit, can be great fun, and feature as some of the best handguns for players to wield in some great Cyberpunk 2077 build opportunities. With these weapons, players can roam Dogtown with a new sense of security and power, if they know how to get them.

Cyberpunk 2077: All Changes in Update 2.0

Update 2.0 has brought about many new exciting changes and additions to Cyberpunk 2077.

Missable weapons are always a concern for players, but luckily, the trusty vendor Herold is here to help in those instances. However, players will need to trigger the necessities to get these guns to unlock in the first place, and if players want Ol’ Reliable and Riskit, they need to get the Shot by Both Sides Side Job.

Start Shot By Both Sides

After completing The Damned, a main mission in the Phantom Liberty expansion of Cyberpunk 2077, players should receive a message from Mr. Hands about a journalist. Players just need to respond to this, and then they will be given coordinates to Bree Whitney’s apartment in Night City. From here, they just want to continue through the Shot by Both Sides Side Job, up until the end where there is a confrontation between Bree and Dante.

Kill Dante, Save Bree

It doesn’t matter how players try and diffuse the situation with Bree and Dante, someone has to die. There is a choice to make on whether players should let Dante kill Bree, but ultimately, if players want to get their hands on Ol’ Reliable and Riskit, then they need to kill Dante. After Dante is dead, they can loot Ol’ Reliable off of his corpse, and Riskit will be sat on a surface just to the left of Bree.

Allowing Dante to kill Bree means that they will only get their hands on Riskit, but killing Dante means that they can get two missable Iconic weapons in one mission, and they will be able to enjoy the power of these two handguns without unnecessary death, other than Dante.
