Cyberpunk 2077 has you looting and buying weapons wherever you can, but nothing can compare to weapons of legend. Johnny Silverhand’s pistol is no exception. His pistol is literally legendary and in V’s hands, it’ll decimate the crowds of enemies that step in their way. That being said, Johnny’s pistol can be missed if players aren’t careful. But don’t fear, this guide will put players on the right path to getting this iconic pistol in their Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough.
How to Get Johnny Silverhand’s Pistol in Cyberpunk 2077
To get Johnny’s pistol, you need to go through the main quest until you encounter Rogue. Rogue is an old flame and friend of Johnny, and soon after you encounter her, Tapeworm will become available. Tapeworm is essential to getting this pistol. It allows Johnny to take over V’s body and have a heart to heart moment with Rogue. Once completed, the side quest, Chippin In, will pop up.
In Chippin In, you will have the chance to acquire Johnny’s gun. All you need to do is follow the quest objectives and eventually, the objective will be ‘Take Johnny’s Gun’. From there, Johnny’s pistol will be yours and you’ll have the legendary weapon, Malorian Arms 3516, at your disposal.

Malorian Arms 3516 Stats
The Malorian Arms 3516 pistol, crafted specifically for Johnny Silverhand by the way, is one of the best weapons in Cyberpunk 2077. Not only does it do a base damage of 238 DPS, but it has the ability to do 68-83 thermal damage. This pistol will eliminate even the toughest opponents in just a few shots. If you include the 1.2 headshot multiplier and the power to ricochet off surfaces, this weapon only becomes more and more deadly.
Not only that, but the pistol comes with four mod slots. It encourages you to upgrade it as you see fit. This weapon, in the right hands, can become the definition of overkill with the right mods. This isn’t a bad thing, though. After spending the early game dealing little to moderate damage on even the weakest of enemies, this pistol is a nice change of pace.
