The Liberty is a Constitutional Arms Power pistol, a plain, old-school handgun made only to fire bullets. Its in-game line sums up the attitude: it smells like gunpowder, and freedom. As a classic Power gun, the Liberty rewards a Cool build that likes to do its own aiming. The Iconic pistols Kongou, Plan B, Pride and Seraph are built on it. Weapon shops and enemies supply the Liberty through the whole story.
Combat
The Liberty is a Power pistol. Its bullets can ricochet off hard surfaces and hit an enemy hiding behind a corner. The pistol takes a scope and a muzzle attachment. A suppressor turns it into a quiet sidearm for stealth.
Pistols reward headshots, and many Cool perks add headshot bonuses. With Focus and Deadeye, a patient V aims at no Stamina cost and hits harder on the head. The Liberty's simplicity is its strength. It fires the moment the trigger is pulled and works the same way in every fight.
How to Get Liberty Guide
- Buy the Liberty from a weapon shop, such as the ones in Japantown and West Wind Estate.
- Loot it from enemies who carry one.
- Craft it at the crafting bench with its crafting spec.

Crafting Spec

Upgrades
Plain pistols such as the Liberty gain power by tier. Higher tiers appear in shops and loot as V levels up. A crafted Liberty matches a bought one of the same tier. Its crafting spec lets V build one at the current tier with crafting components.
Character Builds
The Liberty uses the Cool tree, like the other pistols. Focus turns on when V aims at full Stamina and makes shots cost no Stamina for a short time. Deadeye raises headshot and weak-spot damage and unlocks a Deadeye mode at high Stamina. Quick Draw speeds up swapping to the pistol and restores Stamina on the swap. Long Shot removes damage drop-off at range while Deadeye is active. Run 'N' Gun removes the Stamina cost of hip-fire and adds movement speed during Focus. High Noon speeds up reloads after a headshot kill.
For cyberware, the Ballistic Coprocessor raises the ricochet chance of Power weapons and adds ricochet damage. Clutch Padding lowers the Stamina cost of shooting. Its mod slots take pistol and Power weapon mods. Pinpoint reduces spread after each headshot, and the effect stacks. Zenith grants crit chance and less spread for a few seconds after drawing the pistol. Parallax adds range and cuts sway while aiming, but Stamina regenerates more slowly.
Select a Build
Headshots deal most of the damage, and Focus and Deadeye only work at full Stamina, so each fight starts with a full Stamina bar. The Sandevistan slows time so a whole group can drop one headshot at a time. A silenced pistol handles quiet kills before a fight, and a shotgun deals with enemies that get close.
Attributes: Body 20, Reflexes 18, Technical Ability 20, Intelligence 3, Cool 20.
