Pit Bull is an Iconic BARGHEST-themed Militech M251s Ajax. It is an assault rifle from Phantom Liberty that rewards a player who never stops moving. Every kill and every dismemberment gives V a short burst of extra movement speed. The faster V moves, the more damage the rifle deals. It also has the Armor Penetration bonus that every BARGHEST weapon has. It is an aggressive rifle for shooting on the move, in a Reflexes build that dashes, slides and keeps attacking. It turns up in Dogtown's airdrops. Pit Bull is a Phantom Liberty find from the airdrops that fall into Dogtown.
Combat
Pit Bull is a Power assault rifle, so it fires normal rounds that can ricochet. Its Iconic effect builds speed. Each kill or dismemberment adds a stack of movement speed for a few seconds. The rifle then deals more damage the faster V is moving. Several kills in a row make V both faster and more deadly, which makes the next kill easier.
Pit Bull works best in open fights where V keeps moving. Sliding between cover, dashing across a street or sprinting through a corridor all keep the damage high. Standing still and aiming from cover wastes the bonus. The BARGHEST bonus to Armor Penetration helps against armoured enemies. The rifle takes a scope and a muzzle attachment. A short sight works well for its close and mid-range fighting.
How to Get Pit Bull Guide
- Reach Dogtown during Phantom Liberty.
- Watch and listen for airdrops: loud jet noise and red smoke mark them.
- Reach the container, jack in and complete the breach.
- Loot Pit Bull when it appears among the airdrop rewards.

Character Builds
Assault rifles use the Reflexes tree, which also holds the movement perks this rifle needs. Dash replaces dodging with a longer Dash, and Steady Grip lets V shoot while dashing. Gundancer stops aiming from slowing V down. Multitasker allows shooting while sprinting, sliding and vaulting. Mind Over Matter cuts recoil while aiming, and Spray And Pray lowers the Stamina cost of hip-fire. Shoot To Chill gives automatic weapons Armor Penetration for each Sharpshooter stack, in addition to the BARGHEST bonus.
For cyberware, the Leeroy Ligament System adds movement speed directly, which raises the damage bonus. Jenkins' Tendons increase sprint speed. Kerenzikov slows time while V aims during a slide or dodge. It works well with a rifle that rewards moving.
Select a Build
A Blood Pump at the start of a fight triggers Adrenaline Rush for extra Health. An air Dash while aiming triggers Kerenzikov, and the Sandevistan follows once Kerenzikov ends. Headshots deal the bulk of the damage, and cover is the place to recover Health.
Attributes: Body 20, Reflexes 20, Technical Ability 20, Intelligence 3, Cool 18.

Lore
BARGHEST is Kurt Hansen's militia, the force that runs Dogtown. All BARGHEST weapons get a bonus to Armor Penetration, and Pit Bull is one of them. The Iconic text uses the militia's language: unleash the power of the pack.
Airdrops are supply containers that fall into Dogtown from the sky. A drop can be spotted by the loud jet noise and red smoke. V has to reach the container, jack in and finish a breach to open it.
Notes
