Cyberpunk 2077 received a massive overhaul with the Patch 1.5 content update, including several new muzzle brake and scope weapon attachments.
Patch.15 added a lot of content, including new muzzle breaks, to Cyberpunk 2077. Similar to weapon mods and other attachments, all of Cyberpunk’s muzzle brakes and scopes can be found in Wilson’s 2nd Amendment store in Megabuilding H10. Additionally, players may be able to find each attachment simply by looting the streets of Night City and its more aggressive NPC residents. The former option is the easier way to get any and all the attachments, as players can skip time by a full day just outside of Wilson’s 2nd Amendment store to reset his inventory.
Five new muzzle brakes for Cyberpunk 2077’s handguns and five new muzzle breaks for Cyberpunk’s Assault Rifles and SMGs were added in Patch 1.5. When a muzzle brake is equipped to a player’s weapon, that weapon receives reduced recoil, reduced bullet spread, increased ricochet damage, and an increase to the ricochet angle and chance. Additionally, the update to Cyberpunk 2077 included four new types of scopes, each with a distinct effect on visuals and range when aiming down sights, and they affect the ADS speed as well.
Best Muzzle Brakes Cyberpunk 2077 Added Post-Launch
One of the important things to keep in mind for muzzle brakes in Cyberpunk 2077 is that each attachment will have randomized stats, even at the different rarity levels. The consistent aspect of weapon attachments is that higher tier rarities are always the better option, but, for example, two of the exact same rarity muzzle brakes could have slightly different stats.

Fortunately, no matter the rarity, all the muzzle brakes Cyberpunk 2077 added after launch has set inherent traits that remain consistent among the different rarity tiers. With this information in mind, the best muzzle brakes added to Cyberpunk 2077 are:
|
Muzzle Brake Name |
Effect |
Used With |
|---|---|---|
|
RC-7 Aswang |
Increases ricochet angle and chance, and reduces bullet spread. |
SMGs or Assault Rifles |
|
RC-7 Yokai |
Increases ricochet angle and chance, and increases bullet damage. |
SMGs or Assault Rifles |
|
RC-7 Liger |
Increases ricochet angle and chance, and increases bullet damage. |
Handguns |
|
RC-7 Kutrub |
Increases ricochet angle and chance, and reduces bullet spread. |
Handguns |
While the six remaining newer muzzle brakes in Cyberpunk 2077 all provide an increase to ricochet bullet damage in addition to some of the benefits mentioned above, they all cut the critical chance of every shot by half. No matter how high the ricochet damage percentage is, even in the instances where a muzzle brake provides a 150% increase to ricochet damage, that benefit doesn’t outweigh the halved critical chance. Considering all the enemies players take on in various quests in Cyberpunk 2077, players should rely upon weapon accuracy and damage over ricochet chance and damage.
The new scopes, on the other hand, are based more on preference, though the Kanetsugu short scope, Handyman short scope, and Jue long scope are all great additions to the game Each scope provides a clear picture of where the attachment’s sights line up, and they’re unobtrusive as well on Handguns, SMGs, and Assault Rifles. Additionally, while the Gaki sniper scope doesn’t provide benefits to the range, it does allow players to see enemies clearly for the close-ranged sniper encounters in Cyberpunk 2077.
