Smart weapons shoot micro-bullets which automatically move towards the target. The bullet does not fly in a straight line but is able to change its trajectory depending on where the attacked opponent is. This increases the chances of hitting the target. Smart weapons can be different types of firearms, e.g. pistols or rifles (as well as a sniper rifle in the example in the pictures).

Smart weapons are of course not without disadvantages. You cannot shoot completely blindly. Furthermore, bullets can still miss if, for example, the opponent manages to hide behind a cover quickly enough.

Smart weapons require a specific cyberware to unlock their full potential. It allows you to control their homing capabilities. This implant works directly with V's optics.

The most popular implant for Smart weapons is Smart Link. This is a hand cyberware and is offered by every ripperdoc. Unfortunately, you have to spend a few thousand credits on it AND have your Street Cred on at least level 14.

Until you get the implant, Smart weapons will work like any other firearm – the bullets won't follow the target.

The first smart weapon in the game is the Ashura sniper rifle. You can get it during The Pickup quest, specifically while searching for the Flathead bot in the All Foods factory. You can find the sniper rifle right after you get the box with the bot. Go to the room shown in the picture.
