Good news, folks! The highly anticipated handgun, the Malorian Arms 3516, has gone from being a theoretical favorite to a practical favorite in Cyberpunk 2077 with the latest Patch 2.02 on Oct. 26.
The patch not only addressed various bug fixes and performance optimizations, especially for the new Phantom Liberty DLC, but it also brought some exciting changes to Johnny Silverhand’s iconic gun. Previously, the gun felt underwhelming in comparison to its portrayal in flashback missions. However, thanks to Patch 2.02, players are now praising it as one of the best guns in the game.
Before Patch 2.0, the Malorian Arms 3516 had the ability to shoot through walls, but this feature was removed in the massive update. Unfortunately, the gun’s damage was also significantly reduced, rendering it practically useless. However, with Patch 2.02, the damage has been massively buffed, and the weapon’s recoil has been greatly reduced. While it still can’t shoot through walls like before, the increased damage alone has elevated it to one of the strongest pistols in Cyberpunk 2077.
Patch 2.02 not only focused on improving Johnny’s gun but also included significant bug fixes. Various jobs in the Phantom Liberty DLC received attention, and optimization updates were made to the Dogtown area, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience. For a detailed list of all the changes, you can refer to the complete patch notes.
In conclusion, the Malorian Arms 3516 has finally received the attention it deserves in Cyberpunk 2077. With its newfound power and improved performance, it has become a viable late-game choice for players. So, gear up and get ready to wield Johnny Silverhand’s iconic gun like never before!
