Quick Guides How to Fix Things
Effective Smart Weapons addresses the lock-on range reduction introduced in Cyberpunk 2077's 1.5 update, restoring the original lock-on distance while keeping the damage penalty intact. This mod is for players who want smart weapons to feel viable again without removing the balance from the damage nerf.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 577 endorsements and over 68k downloads
- Fixes a specific pain point from update 1.5 without over-tuning
- Simple, focused tweak that respects the game's balance
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023 — may not be compatible with later game patches
- Only addresses lock-on range; players wanting damage adjustments will need other mods
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who rely on smart weapons and felt the 1.5 lock-on range nerf made them frustrating to use. If you want a targeted fix that keeps the damage penalty, this is for you. Skip if you're fine with the current range or want a more comprehensive smart weapon overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct folder (usually 'Cyberpunk 2077/archive/pc/mod') to avoid issues.
- If you're using other smart weapon mods, check for conflicts — this mod only changes lock-on range, so it may stack or clash with other tweaks.
- After installing, test in-game to confirm the lock-on range feels right; if not, verify the mod is active in your load order.
