Unlock the Legendary Pariah Pistol in Cyberpunk 2077: Solomon Reed's Ultimate Weapon Guide

Solomon Reed, a prominent character from the popular game Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, possesses an iconic gun that fans are eager to acquire. It comes as no surprise, as other remarkable characters in the game, such as Johnny Silverhand with his Malorian Arms 3516 pistol that fires anti-tank rounds, have also caught players' attention.

Unlike Silverhand's pistol, Solomon Reed's firearm in Cyberpunk 2077 is more tactically designed, exuding a sleek and refined appearance. Rather than relying on sheer firepower to eliminate Cyberpsychos and steal the limelight, Reed's gun emphasizes staying focused on the mission without compromise. This makes it an excellent choice for stealthy operations. However, players might not particularly appreciate the steps necessary to obtain Solomon Reed's pistol, known as Pariah.

This guide contains heavy spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Kill Solomon Reed

To obtain the Iconic Pistol Pariah in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, players must eliminate Solomon Reed during The Killing Moon quest. To accomplish this, players must bring Songbird to the space shuttle towards the mission's conclusion. When instructed to place So Mi's body on the ground, players can hold their Aim Button to point their revolver at Solomon Reed. This action triggers a slow-motion sequence, during which players must press the Fire Button to shoot Solomon Reed at least three times.

After Solomon Reed's demise, players can retrieve Songbird and place her onto the space shuttle. Subsequently, they can collect Pariah, the Tier 5+ Iconic Tech Pistol, from Solomon Reed's lifeless body. Unfortunately, the only way to obtain Solomon Reed's firearm in Cyberpunk 2077 is by eliminating him, a task that is exclusively achievable in The Killing Moon mission. Those who opt to assist Solomon Reed in apprehending Songbird during the Firestarter mission will be unable to access The Killing Moon.

If players have already eliminated Solomon Reed but failed to acquire his weapon, there is no cause for concern, as they can conveniently purchase any missing Iconic weapons from Herold, the illicit firearms dealer situated in Dogtown's EBM Petrochem Stadium.

Pariah, Iconic Tech Pistol

Owned by Special Agent Solomon Reed. Time-worn, tried, tested and true.

Pariah is an Iconic Tech Pistol that can be found with the following stats and modifiers:

+150% Headshot Damage Multiplier

+50% Armor Penetration

0.75sec Charge Time

Reed's modifications have transformed this weapon into a stealthy powerhouse. Headshots not only decrease charge time but also enhance reload speed.

With a simple press of the Fire Button, Pariah unleashes a three-round burst against opponents. Alternatively, by holding and releasing the Fire Button, all three rounds can be fired simultaneously in a supercharged shot. Aspiring stealth builders in Cyberpunk 2077 will find Reed's Pariah gun to be among the top-tier weapons available. It features an impressive Headshot Damage Multiplier, which can be further enhanced using the Stealth Perks found in the Cool Attribute Perk Tree.

Each headshot provides enhanced reload speed and shorter charge time, significantly improving the weapon's performance. Moreover, the integrated suppressor sets it apart from other stealth weapons by eliminating any damage reduction typically incurred when using a suppressor.

Now available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty can be experienced.
