Dexter DeShawn’s very own pistol that was used to shoot V can later be claimed by V, and Plan B certainly shouldn’t be a Plan B, but a Plan Z. It’s not a good pistol in terms of damage output and speed, and the fact that players literally lose eurodollars just by using it shows that this can be left in the quiet life and not the blaze of glory.

When Health level is critical, fire rate, reload speed, and damage are increased. Charged shots deal twice as much damage.
A Pistol that relies on players having low health is a weapon that is just not worth its asking price, especially since it means usingsome of the worst Cyberwareto stop healing interference. Apparition might improve damage, fire rate, and reload speed, but that’s only if players are a shot or two away from death.

Gain increased movement speed on kills and dismemberment. The faster you move, the more damage you deal. BARGHEST weapons also gain increased Armor Penetration.
Catahoula is a pretty standard Pistol, and that’s why it’s not all that special when compared to other Iconic Pistols. It does the job, even if the job has a fairly slow fire rate. The default BARGHEST Iconic Modifier is also nice, but most players won’t see a benefit toextended movement speedon kills.

A special version of the weapon capable of additional modification. Optimized design also allows for improved handling.
Smart Link weapons will always havea love-hcate relationship, as some might not want to invest in the Hands Cyberware to access the Smart capabilities of this Pistol. On top of being a Smart weapon, the only real intrigue comes from two mod slots that don’t exactly offer much, but its Smart Link does benefit from a fast firing time and easy headshot.

A weapon with great handling cannot be saved by the fact that the only real benefit of this Pistol is the fact that it uses more attachments than other weapons, allowing for a furthervariety of play styles. It’s a fairly average weapon not worth using over alternatives.

Take advantage of ricochet technology even if you do not possess the required cyberware. Reduced recoil and an increased rate of fire make up for the smaller magazine size.
Kongou isn’t a necessary Pistol for the arsenal of V, and its main advantage of not needing cyberware to use its ricochet ability comes in at a rather pointless time considering the Hands Cyberware provides that technology fairly easily. The weapon itself also lacks an advantage to players, as who wants to shoot at the floor for trajectory instead of a headshot?

Effects
Who doesn’t love Skippy? This AI-Pistol is fun to be around, especially with his love of music. Skippy provides an interesting weapon to players due to how it’s a Smart Link pistol that uses two modes: Puppy Loving Pacifist (limb shots) or Stone Cold Killer (headshots). A gun that will only shoot specific areas is great, but the fact that players are locked into the opposite choice after around 100 kills makes it a lacking gun, especially after returning it to Regina.

When your Health is very low, weapon handling is improved and all hits are Crits.
Riskit requires players to risk their life, putting their very future on the line with each shot due to how Riskit requires low health to be more effective. At low health, players can see critical damage with every shot from the gun, but an Iconic Modifier that only kicks in during intense shootouts where death could be a bullet away, makes this one to keep in the stash and not in V’s hands.

Each subsequent hit increases the chance that your enemies will be consumed by the purifying flame of the Seraphim. Once Burning, bullets deal increased damage to the enemy.
Watch Night City burn with Seraph, a Pistol that fires out bullets that have a chance to immolate enemies. Those affected with this this will have more damage dealt to them with each bullet fired, which can make for a pretty beefy choice of weaponry against high-health enemies, but not against much else.

Every powerful hit will cost you a bit of Health. When your Health gets low, rounds will start to Poison enemies.
A rather lethal Pistol that’s great for its damage output and handling, Death and Taxes provides decent damage especially when combined with a double tap to the head. However, getting taxed by losing health is pretty lethal to players, and while this can’t kill players, getting to critical health while being shot just makes this weapon a tad more annoying, even if the benefit of poisoning enemies is nice.
