To see how unique guns in Cyberpunk 2077 can be, one shouldn’t look further than the Iconic Chaos weapon!

How to Get the Iconic Chaos Weapon in Cyberpunk 2077

I know it is a cliché to say that about a weapon in Cyberpunk 2077, but this gun is unique. Because it is an iconic weapon, it comes with its random perk.

The perk is that crit chance, damage type, and status-effect application differ every time you reload! This means you will practically have a different gun each time you reload.

As you know, you can upgrade iconic weapons with materials to increase their rarity. This means that the Chaos weapon can be a solid late-game pistol. Getting it is quite straightforward, but you do need to have the quest “The Pickup.”

It’s important to note that this weapon won’t exactly work with every build under the sun. But for the ones it does, you should utilize this weapon as much as possible!

If you haven’t yet finished the mission “The Pickup,” you must play through the game until you get this quest.

Dexter will send you to retrieve a spider-bot from the Maelstrom gang.

The Iconic Chaos pistol will drop from the gang boss, Royce. There will be an altercation when you meet him, and you can kill him on the spot or after the mission.

You can get the weapon from him then. You can go either way. It is completely up to you. You will get the early-game iconic Chaos weapon no matter how you complete the Pickup mission!

Even if the DPS might seem very low to you, as you know, perks and skills have a lot to do with weapon damage. So, even though some weapons may have low DPS, that doesn’t mean they will deal low damage. The same goes for high-DPS items.

If you are a fan of the random RNG nature of this gun, or you have a built-in with which you can utilize it best, then I recommend that you get this iconic weapon.
