Claiming GUTS: How to Acquire Rebecca’s Iconic Shotgun in Cyberpunk 2077
The burning question on every Cyberpunk 2077 player’s mind after watching Edgerunners is undoubtedly: How do you get Rebecca’s gun? The answer is quite straightforward, but its impact on your gameplay is anything but simple. To find Rebeca’s Shotgun, also known as GUTS, you’ll need to head to the City Center Corpo Plaza district. A quick way to get there is to fast travel to the Arasaka Tower point. From the fast travel point, walk across the panel towards the Militech building. Before you reach the stairs heading down, make a right towards the grass where the monks are resting. You’ll see a series of small bushes. Inside the large bush closest to the hedge, you’ll find Rebeca’s Shotgun on the floor. It’s usually just laying there waiting for you. It’s worth noting that GUTS doesn’t spawn until after you’ve progressed to a certain point in the game and that is when the Edgerunners update rolled out.
This iconic shotgun is a powerful addition to your arsenal, boasting incredible stopping power and a unique visual design reminiscent of Rebecca’s vibrant personality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Rebecca’s Gun
1. Can you keep Rebecca’s LMG (Light Machine Gun)?
Unfortunately, no. Rebecca’s LMG, which she uses extensively in Edgerunners, is not obtainable or storable in Cyberpunk 2077. Because it’s a heavy weapon, you can only temporarily carry it, and drop it when you switch to another weapon. It can only be used at a specific point in the game.
2. Does Rebecca’s Shotgun stop fall damage?
There are reports and theories suggesting that using Rebecca’s Shotgun in a specific way during a fall can mitigate fall damage. However, this is not a guaranteed feature and may be patched in future updates. It depends on how you fire the weapon at the time of impact. It seems to soften the blow.
3. Can you stash Skippy in Cyberpunk 2077?
Yes, you can stash Skippy. After completing the quest involving Skippy (either returning it to Regina or refusing to do so after the weapon shifts its firing mode), V can place Skippy on their stash wall.
4. How do I upgrade Skippy to legendary?
You cannot upgrade Skippy in the traditional sense using components. However, Skippy automatically scales to V’s level, increasing in damage every time you level up. This prevents the gun from becoming obsolete.
5. Is Genjiroh better than Skippy?
Whether Genjiroh is “better” than Skippy depends on your playstyle and preference. Genjiroh fires four projectiles per shot, making it quite lethal, and its projectiles can ricochet. Skippy, however, offers a unique targeting system and can switch between pacifist and lethal modes, making it potentially more versatile.
6. What is the strongest gun in Cyberpunk 2077?
The title of the “strongest” gun is subjective and can depend on your build and playstyle. However, the Kyubi assault rifle is often considered one of the best due to its high damage output and unique attributes.
7. Does Skippy level up with you?
Yes, Skippy automatically scales to V’s level, increasing in damage every time you level up. This ensures it remains a viable weapon throughout the game.
8. Where is Lizzie gun Cyberpunk?

11. What happens if you tell Skippy killing is wrong?
If you choose “killing is wrong,” Skippy will lock into non-lethal mode permanently. If you select “I don’t know,” it will lock into lethal mode permanently after a certain number of kills.
