Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best games available on the market in its vanilla state, but some mods bring the game's visuals to new levels, as showcased in a new video shared on YouTube this week.
Cyberpunk 2077: How to Get the Byakko Katana
21.10.2023 - 07:45 / screenrant.com
One of the few Katanas added to includes the Byakko, which players can earn if they complete a side gig questline. The Byakko Katana comes with a few unique perks that make it one of the best Katanas to unlock and use for a strong melee build. The Katana can increase V's melee range by 1 and has the ability to leap on an enemy from a distance.
Using the Byakko Katana also has another benefit that can significantly impact core melee gameplay. Killing an enemy with the Byakko will grant V a status effect that removes the pause after three light attacks. This will let players create their own combos until V's stamina runs out. Other benefits include inflicting enemies with a bleeding effect (35% chance).

To get the Byakkko Katana in you will need to complete Wakako's questline, as the weapon cannot be purchased from Wilson's 2nd Amendment store or any other vendor. Once you are towards the end of Wakako's questline, the side gig "" will start automatically. Thankfully, this Side Gig is quite straightforward and one of the easiest to complete in the game.
Once the side gig starts, all you need to do is visit V's apartments in so that you can access the Byakko Katana from their stash. Once you have collected the Katana, you can equip it right away and install any of your favorite mods. If you do not have any mods for a Katana, you can purchase them from Wilson's 2nd Amendment store located right below V's megabuilding apartment in Watson.
Much like any other Legendary Katana, Byakko also reduces V's stamina usage when the weapon is being used. You can use this weapon effectively against enemies if you rush enemies and leap towards them. You can make the combat flow even more seamless by unlocking Double Jump in so that you can move freely. Even in an area with little coverage, players can make full use of Byakko's capabilities with the Kerenzikov Cyberware upgrade.
Want to see Byakko Katana in action for yourself? Check out the video from Shark R on YouTube below, which shows both how to get the Byakko Katana and V using it to take out enemies!
While it isn't a new upgrade, the legendary Kerenzikov can be implanted in V's Nervous System slot and allows them to slow time. This is one of the best cyberware upgrades for V, and when it's used in unison with close-quarters weapons like Byakko Katana, you can be nearly unstoppable.

Stop for a second and picture your favorite video game developer or publisher. It doesn’t matter their “scale” as long as they’re prominent. More than likely, you can name-drop at least one or two people who are the “faces” of that company. For example, Nintendo has Eiji Aonuma, Shigeru Miyamoto, Doug Bowser, etc. Microsoft has Phil Spencer, Sony has/had Jim Ryan, and on it goes. For Bethesda, they have/had many people who have helped define them over the years for one reason or another. Easily, the one that most people know is Todd Howard. He’s the guy who honestly makes the biggest announcements for the company and helps crank out their best games.
