My Complete Guide to Cyberpunk 2077's X-MOD2 Weapons in 2025

Hey chooms, let me tell you about my latest obsession in Night City - the X-MOD2 weapons! These bad boys are like the custom-tuned supercars of the weapon world, each one offering guaranteed handling bonuses and extra mod slots that make them feel like they were made just for me. Seriously, the synergy between V and these weapons is something else - it's like they read my mind when I'm in the heat of combat.

The Complete Arsenal: 11 Weapons to Hunt Down

Right now in 2025, there are exactly 11 X-MOD2 weapons scattered across Night City and Dogtown, and let me be real with you - tracking them all down has become my personal side quest. Each one has its own personality, its own strengths, and honestly? Some are just plain better than others. Here's my breakdown after spending way too many hours testing them all:

The Real Standouts

Kyubi X-MOD2 - This assault rifle is my go-to for medium-range engagements. It's like that reliable friend who always shows up when you need them. The damage output is solid, the handling feels smooth as butter, and the mod options let me switch between stealth and loud approaches on the fly. Plus, it's surprisingly easy to get your hands on!

Lexington X-MOD2 - For my stealth builds, this pistol has been a game-changer. That built-in scope (which you can't remove, by the way) combined with the headshot multiplier makes popping enemies from the shadows almost too easy. The reload speed? Chef's kiss!

Cut-o-Matic X-MOD2 - Okay, this chain blade is just pure cyberpunk awesomeness. The roar it makes when you equip it literally scares civilians and alerts enemies, but honestly? Sometimes you WANT them to know you're coming. The modifications available turn this into a whirlwind of destruction that hits faster than you can say "Samurai."

The Niche Picks

Kappa X-MOD2 - This smart pistol is... interesting. If you're running a Netrunner build with the right cyberware, it can be decent, but let's be real - without the proper setup, it's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. The lock-on feature is cool when it works, but I've had better luck with other options.

Baseball Bat X-MOD2 - Don't sleep on this blunt beauty! The bleeding chance and armor penetration make it surprisingly effective, and there's something deeply satisfying about bashing foes before they even know what hit them. The mod variety turns it from a simple club into a proper melee weapon.

🤔 The "Meh" Tier

MA70 HB X-MOD2 - I wanted to love this light machine gun, I really did. But unless you enjoy standing still and spraying bullets everywhere, it's hard to recommend. The handling feels clunky compared to other options, and it doesn't really fit any particular build well.

Umbra X-MOD2 - The fire rate on this assault rifle is impressive, I'll give it that. But when you stack it up against other rifles in the game? It just doesn't measure up. The mod slots are generous, but you're better off investing your time elsewhere.

My Personal Modding Tips

After modding every single X-MOD2 weapon multiple times, here are my go-to setups:

Weapon Type	Best Mods	Ideal Build
Assault Rifles	Damage Boost + Penetration	All-rounder combat
SMGs	Elemental Damage + Magazine Size	Aggressive close-range
Melee Weapons	Bleeding Chance + Attack Speed	Body-focused builds
Pistols	Silencer + Headshot Damage	Stealth/Sandevistan

The Hunt Continues...

Finding all 11 weapons has been quite the journey, let me tell you. Some are easy pickings, while others require specific attribute investments or tricky navigation through Dogtown's most dangerous areas. But that's part of the fun, right?

What really makes these weapons special isn't just the stats - it's how they feel in your hands. Each X-MOD2 has its own personality, its own rhythm in combat. Some will click with your playstyle immediately, while others might surprise you once you give them a proper chance.

So get out there, choom! The streets of Night City are waiting, and these X-MOD2 weapons aren't going to find themselves. Trust me - the hunt is half the fun. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with my Cut-o-Matic and some Arasaka goons who picked the wrong district to operate in...
