How to Get the Best Precision Rifle in Cyberpunk 2077

The Widow Maker is another weapon in Cyberpunk 2077 that’s quite easy to miss if you don’t know where to look. Or, in this particular case, if you’re not the sort to look through the bodies of your dead enemies. To get your hands on the Widow Maker, all you need to do is to follow the main story mission, “Ghost Town”, and help Panam Palmer retrieve stolen goods, including her car. During the latter half of the mission, V and Panam will find themselves ambushed by the thief, Nash, and the rest of his crew. So, all you have to do is to take out Nash, loot his body, and get the gun. That’s it. Plain and simple.
