Hello, choombas. Who doesn’t like a good ol’ assault rifle? Let me tell you that everyone in Night City surely does. They’re good for everything. Cooking your food, getting shekels, or even borrowing some shekels from the bank.
They’re a multi-purpose tool in Night City. There are countless varieties of assault rifles. If you’re going for a technical build smart assault rifles are for you or if you’re going a more strength build then power assault rifles are your best choice. Anyhow, let’s get into the best assault rifles Night City has to offer!

1. Psalm 11:6
When the boss is using his mantis blades make sure to get on top of something so he can pull out his gun so he drops the blueprint for Psalm 11:6 once he dies.
