How to Inspect Weapons in Cyberpunk 2077: Full Controls for Pc, Ps5, and Xbox
Every firearm category features high-fidelity tactile animations, but Iconic weapons received custom artistic treatment from CD Projekt Red's combat animation leads. Triggering the inspect loop on named gear often yields unexpected interactions, custom lighting, or audio cues.
The most famous example remains Johnny Silverhand's signature pistol, the Malorian Arms 3516. Re-inspecting the Malorian triggers an extended gun-spinning trick accompanied by a sharp click of the side-exhaust vents and custom reload sound effects. If you draw it in low-light environments, the gun's thermal chamber glows red through the barrel casing.
Melee gear and cyberware armaments benefit just as heavily. Activating the flourish with the thermal katana Errata causes V to flick the blade sideways, igniting a jet of orange sparks along the edge before resting in a high guard. Mantis Blades extend forward in segments with metallic clicks, flexing individual hydraulic joints before snapping back into the forearm chassis. Even smart weapons like Skippy will occasionally comment verbally when inspected, reminding V of their questionable aiming skills.
