Unlock the Ultimate Arsenal in Cyberpunk 2077: Unveiling the Secrets of Erebus & Militech Canto Mk6 (Blackwall Weapons)

The Blackwall is relentlessly advancing towards civilization's destruction, drawing the Rouge AIs into reality through Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. By embarking on specific paths and completing quests in the Phantom Liberty campaign, players can obtain the most lethal, stylish, and top-notch Cyberware and weapons available in Cyberpunk 2077. However, acquiring the unique rewards Erebus and the Militech Canto Mk.6 hinges on following the Solomon Reed path and having a sufficient number of Attribute Points allocated to Technical Ability and Intelligence. These rewards cannot be obtained if missed, and it is crucial to mention that both of these weapons are exceptionally remarkable. Any Cyberpunk 2077 player seeking to engage in a solo war in Update 2.0 should possess them.

Help Reed Capture Songbird During Firestarter

After the Firestarter mission, players are required to proceed to the next step.

Talk to Mr. Hands and Yoko

In the game Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos, players begin by selecting a Netrunner to assist in breaching MaxTac security and uncover the whereabouts of the cargo carrying Songbird. It is suggested to hire Mr. Hands as the Netrunner for a fee of 15,000 Eurodollars. While not necessary, this decision will unlock an optional objective that rewards players with special Mantis Blades later in the game.

The next task for players is to meet Yoko, a renowned Netrunner located at the Netrunner Store in Kabuki Market, Watson. It is advisable to speak with Yoko, as she plays a crucial role in obtaining either the Erebus or Militech Canto Mk.6 during subsequent missions. Players should listen to her business proposal and complete it by sending Mr. Hands a text message with the coordinates of the MaxTac cargo location.

Once these objectives are completed, players can proceed to finish the mission and move on to the Somewhat Damaged quest. It is important to note that there is a potential point of no return in the campaign after locating the Alpha and Bravo Dataterminals, so players should proceed with caution.

Where To Get Erebus

Now that players have arrived at the Cynosure Facility and experienced a dangerous encounter with the Cerberus Unit under the control of Songbird and the Blackwall, they will need to navigate a specific path to locate the Erebus blueprints. To reach this destination, it is recommended to enter the checkered tile room where players will witness a vivid flashback of Songbird's surgery. Proceed through the doors situated on the left side of this flashback scene, then make consecutive right turns to eventually reach the Engineering/Living Quarters hallway. From here, take a left turn and continue through the Engineering sector.

Directly from the Engineering sector doors, players will stumble upon a malfunctioning door terminal. In order to restore functionality to the terminal and claim Erebus, players must possess a minimum Technical Ability level of 20. It is highly recommended to commence the Somewhat Damaged quest only once players have reached level 60 and allocated Attribute points into their Technical Ability. After examining the door terminal, make a 180-degree turn and proceed to the right to locate a Storage closet on the left.

To the right, there is a fuse box illuminated by a red light. Players can utilize 20 units of Technical Ability to divert the power and activate the door terminal. It is recommended to take cover and wait if they hear the Cerberus Unit approaching or experience screen interference caused by Relic, in order to prevent being detected and slain by the relentless robotic hunter.

If the coast is clear, exit the Storage unit and return to the door terminal. Activate the door terminal to unlock the door and enter the room. Upon opening the doors, proceed to the table to locate the blueprints for the iconic Erebus Power Submachine Gun. Additionally, within this room, players will come across lore tidbits that contain deactivated spare Cerberus units. To bypass the requirement of accessing the dataterminals, players can make use of the ladder located on the left side of the room. This will allow them to proceed directly to the Core/Lab area and discover the Militech Canto Mk.6.

Where To Get Militech Canto Mk.6

After initiating the Core Shutdown Protocol, players must exit the Core Control room and proceed to the right, where they will come across The Lab. Once inside, continue down the hallway and take a left turn before stepping into the Observation Room. On the left side lies the Experimental Prototyping room, which players can enter either by inputting a code or by possessing 15 Intelligence Attributes. Fortunately, for those lacking these Attribute points, they can discover the Militech Canto Mk.6 codes required to access the Experiential Prototyping Room here: 714212

After entering the digits 7, 1, 4, 2, 1, 2, players will have the option to click on the door terminal to unlock the room. The room contains the blueprints for the Militech Canto Mk. 6, which houses the Iconic Cyberdeck Cyberware. Progress through the quest as usual, until a conversation takes place with So Mi within the Blackwall.

All the players have to do now is finish the Somewhat Damaged quest. The result of the quest doesn't have any significance, and it is entirely the player's choice on how they want to handle the Songbird situation moving forward. All the players have to do is stick to the mission until its completion, which will lead them to V's Apartment in Megabuilding H10, Little China, Watson.

Erebus Stats

After completing the Somewhat Damaged quest and waiting for a few in-game days, players will receive a mysterious message on their phone from an unknown number. The message will contain instructions on how to unlock the blueprints found in the Cynosure Facility. Now, players can visit Yoko at the Netrunner Store in Kabuki Market, Watson and hand over the Behavioral circuit obtained from the Cerberus Unit. Yoko will then work on it and eventually provide players with the decoded behavioral system component for the Cerberus. At this point, players must make a decision between crafting either the Erebus or the Militech Canto Mk. 6. Keep in mind that only one of these items can be crafted. Below are the statistics for both weapons.

For those unafraid to pry open forbidden pathways…

40 Tier 5 Item Components

Cerberus' behavioral system component has been decoded. The Erebus stands out as one of the top weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 due to its exceptional stats and unique effects. Very few weapons compare to the sheer power of the Erebus, which is enhanced by the inclusion of a Blackwall AI that infects targets with supernatural abilities. This grants the weapon the ability to communicate with V on occasion. However, using the Erebus can evoke a sense of guilt and horror due to its immense power and its ability to cause death. Here are the impressive stats that make the Erebus a highly coveted firearm in the world of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.

Rounds fired from this weapon are infused with the dark energy from beyond the Blackwall. Highly effective against enemies with low Health.

Erebus effects:

+100% Headshot Damage Multiplier

+25% Armor Penetration

Militech Canto Mk.6 Stats

Crafted with:

12 Tier 5 Quickhack Components

50 Tier 5 Item Components

The Cerberus behavioral system component, found in the Militech Canto Mk.6 Cyberdeck, sets it apart as the top choice in Cyberpunk 2077. Its exceptional stats as a Cyberdeck, combined with the exclusive ability to unlock the Blackwall and instantly eliminate enemies in a brutal and terrifying manner, make it truly exceptional. Additionally, players can engage in dialogue with the Militech Canto Mk.6, as it houses a rogue AI that adds another conversational ally to V's arsenal. These remarkable attributes make the Militech Canto Mk.6 an essential asset for Netrunners.

Militech Canto Mk.6 Effects:

Perform quickhacks on enemies and devices while scanning, enabling you to unlock the powerful Blackwall Gateway quickhack. This particular quickhack has the ability to spread to up to five enemies within a 20-meter radius, causing lethal damage to their Cyberware and neural systems. Additionally, it deactivates mechs, robots, drones, and turrets. It does, however, come at a cost, as it consumes RAM with each spread. Each subsequent spread requires less time to upload, but the RAM cost increases. If you're willing to take the risk, you can cut the cost in half by paying with your own blood.

Erebus Or Militech Canto Mk.6?

The choice between the Militech Canto Mk.6 and the Erebus weapon in Cyberpunk 2077 depends on the player's build. Netrunners who invest in the Intelligence Attribute will find the Militech Canto Mk.6 to be the superior option. With its exceptional Cyberdeck, perks, tiers, and the ability to instantly eliminate enemies, it is the best choice for these players.

On the other hand, players who are not Netrunners should consider the Erebus weapon from the Blackwall collection. Even without investing in the Reflexes Attribute, it is highly reliable in gunfights. The Erebus weapon possesses powerful hacking capabilities, allowing it to disrupt the combat Cyberware of targeted enemies. With its impressive firepower and projectiles, it effortlessly decimates large groups of enemies.

Regardless of the players' decision between the Militech Canto Mk.6 and the Erebus, it's advisable to ensure that the weapon is kept away from NetWatch.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is currently available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
