With so many weapons to choose from in Cyberpunk 2077, it’s often difficult to justify using a mere pistol over something that packs more firepower, such as an SMG or an assault rifle. And yet, some pistols are so good that you’ll want to make an exception. One good example is the Comrade’s Hammer.
The Comrade’s Hammer is an Iconic version of the Techtronika RT-46 Burya tech revolver that comes with extra damage along with a bunch of other perks over the regular counterpart. It does have a couple of drawbacks as well, but despite that, the Comrade’s Hammer is still one of the best weapons in Cyberpunk 2077. Keep reading to find out how to get your hands on it.
How To Get The Comrade’s Hammer Iconic Revolver
The Comrade’s Hammer isn’t available as a drop or a quest reward, but you can easily craft it yourself provided you have the necessary perks and materials. First things first, though. You’ll need to acquire the Comrade’s Hammer crafting spec from a drug lord known as Darius Miles before you can put those materials to good use.
Darius Miles is a member of the 6th Street gang you’ll be able to encounter while answering an NCPD scanner hustle called Suspected Organized Crime Activity in Arroyo. Arroyo is a sub-district of Santo Domingo found in the southeastern part of Night City. In addition to Darius Miles, you’ll also have to neutralize several other enemies to complete the side quest, but they shouldn’t pose much of a problem for an experienced mercenary like you.
Comrade’s Hammer Stats And Crafting Requirements
Despite being classified as a tech revolver, the Comrade’s Hammer is more of a hand cannon. The weapon can only fire one projectile before it requires reloading, but that one projectile hits like an absolute beast and explodes on impact. Rounds fired by the Comrade’s Hammer have a 40% chance to apply Burn, +75% armor penetration, and get an extra 50% critical damage compared to the weapon’s base version. The gun also reloads automatically whenever you perform a quick melee attack.
In order to craft the Comrade’s Hammer you’ll need the Edgerunner perk from the Technical tree along with x40 Tier 5 Item Components. The Comrade’s Hammer is one of the most expensive pistols to craft, but the investment of materials is well worth it. One well-aimed shot with this gun can often take out even the hardiest of opponents while also injuring surrounding foes. The low ammo capacity is indeed a bummer, however, you can mitigate that to some extent by using quick melee attacks as often as possible.
