Cyberpunk 2077 launched in 2020 with promising new gameplay tech and features. While the game's worldwide launch was rocky, CD Projekt Red has polished the game into one of the best action RPGs of current time.
As an action RPG, players can use different builds in Cyberpunk 2077. The builds can be stealthy or aggressive depending on the playstyle. If you're looking to build a more mobile, stealthy build in the game, then you have to pick up throwing knives as a part of your loadout. Here's a guide on the best throwing knives and how you can get them in Cyberpunk 2077.
Best Throwing Knives in Cyberpunk 2077 and How to Get Them
Throwing knives are available for use from the moment you start playing the game. While they are not damage-heavy like ranged weapons, you can easily take down starter enemies with a throwing knife. Here are the best throwing knives and how you can get them in Cyberpunk 2077:
1. Fang
The Fang is a traditional Yakut hunting knife owned by Kurt Hansen. Fang has an iconic modifier that increases damage from melee by 33% for each consecutive attack on an enemy while they are slowed. Throwing this knife and hitting an enemy will slow them.
How to Unlock: Complete the Firestarter quest in the Phantom Liberty DLC, then it is dropped by Kurt Hansen if you side with Solomon Reed.
2. Agaou
Agaou is an iconic variant of the Tomahawk in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Agaou has an iconic modifier that increases shock chance by 10%, increases throw recovery by 6 seconds, and converts 30% of damage into electrical damage.
How to Unlock: Dropped by Ayo Zarin after completing the Criminal Activity: Voodoo Boys in Luxor Heights Wellness Spa, Dogtown in the Phantom Liberty DLC.
3. Blue Fang
The Blue Fang is an iconic variant of the Neurotoxin Knife in Cyberpunk 2077. The Blue Fang has an iconic modifier that, when thrown, stuns enemies for 4.6 seconds after 1 second when hit in the head and after 3 seconds elsewhere on the body. If hit outside of combat, the Blue Fang applies its stun immediately on hit.
How to Unlock: Available for purchase from the Melee Weapon Vendor in Jackson Plains, South Badlands.
4. Headhunter
Headhunter is an iconic variant of the Punknife in Cyberpunk 2077. Headhunter has an iconic modifier that marks a hit enemy by a thrown attack, causing them to receive 200% more damage for the next hit, and then returning Headhunter instantly to the user.
How to Unlock: Available for purchase from the Melee Weapon Vendor in West Wind Estate, Pacifica.
5. Nehan
Nehan is an iconic variant of the Kaiken in Cyberpunk 2077. It works best in synergy with the Satori katana. Nehan has an iconic modifier that results in thrown hits always applying Bleeding. If an enemy is already affected by Bleeding from Satori, Nehan will cause haemorrhaging instead, which will heal V equal to the damage dealt by the Bleed.
How to Unlock: Dropped by Saburo Arasaka after completing the Heist main quest in the prologue of the game. If you miss the knife at first, then it can be purchased from Herold Lowe at the EBM Petrochem Stadium in Dogtown in the Phantom Liberty DLC.
Throwing knives work well with katana and stealth builds. So, make sure to get your hands on these throwing knives to create the ultimate build for ruling Night City and Dogtown with ease.
