The Malorian Arms 3516 is Johnny Silverhand's own pistol, custom-made for the rockerboy. The gun is built around aimed shots to the head. Its unique effect makes a point-blank pistol-whip strong enough to kill. Elite enemies also take extra damage from it. Fans of Johnny will want it for the story. It also stays useful in any pistol build. The 3516 is a mid-game reward from the side job Chippin' In, which opens after the main job Tapeworm.
Combat
The 3516 fires slow, heavy single shots. Each round is worth aiming carefully. The large headshot bonus makes a clean headshot the fastest way to kill a gang member. Like other Power weapons, its rounds can ricochet. A shot at a wall or floor can still hit an enemy behind cover.
The Iconic effect changes how the gun works up close. A Quick Melee Attack with the 3516 deals +800% damage, but it empties every round left in the magazine. The best moment for it is right after the last shot in the magazine, when no rounds are left to lose. Losing a full magazine on one strike is costly in a crowded fight. The bonus damage against Elite enemies applies to every shot and every swing.

Character Builds
The 3516 works best in a Cool build. Focus starts when aiming at full Stamina. It removes the Stamina cost of shooting and adds headshot damage, which helps slow, careful pistol fire. Deadeye adds more headshot and weak spot damage. While Deadeye is active, High Noon speeds up the next reload after a headshot kill. Long Shot keeps full damage at any distance while Deadeye is active. Run 'N' Gun is a pistol-only perk. It removes the Stamina cost of hip-firing and makes V faster while Focus is active. Quick Draw speeds up the swap to the pistol. A swap during combat also restores Stamina.
Cyberware can make these strengths even greater. The Ballistic Coprocessor in the Hands slot raises ricochet chance and ricochet damage with Power weapons. Kiroshi Cockatrice Optics add flat crit chance. Visual Cortex Support raises crit chance the farther V stands from a target. The Militech Apogee Sandevistan slows time a lot and adds headshot damage while it is active. The slowed time leaves room to aim at several heads in a row.

Lore
The database calls the 3516 the only one of its kind, made specially for the rockerboy Johnny Silverhand. It describes a semiautomatic pistol with a prototype smart link and three firing modes: ricochet, wall penetration and incendiary rounds. It also notes that collectors value it extremely highly. The official artbook adds that it fires a unique large-calibre round with a special propulsion system. Its in-game caption sums it up: the guy had taste.
Chippin' In is the job where V finally holds this gun. Johnny takes over V's body to tell Rogue the truth about Adam Smasher. Rogue then tracks the Ebunike, an old container ship moored at the docks in Northside. Grayson and a Maelstrom crew hold the ship, and Grayson carries Johnny's gun. V and Rogue fight through his crew and take the pistol from him. Grayson then offers a keepsake of Johnny's in exchange for his life: the key to Johnny's old Porsche 911. The job ends at Johnny's grave in the oil fields. A long talk there decides which of Johnny's later jobs open up.
Notes
- Grayson's keys lead to Johnny's Porsche 911, which waits in a container at the same docks.
- The 3516 has its own spot on the weapon wall in V's apartment. Placing it in the stash fills that spot.
- Rogue gives V a replica of Johnny's Samurai jacket earlier in the same job.
- The dialogue at Johnny's grave decides whether Blistering Love opens. That job leads on to the secret ending.
