Knockdown in Cyberpunk 2077

In Cyberpunk 2077, knockdown is a mechanic associated with various weapons and their effects on enemies during combat.

Weapons and Knockdown Mechanics

In Cyberpunk 2077, certain weapons have specific attributes that increase the chance of knocking down enemies. For instance, the Mox shotgun has a knockdown chance that is increased by 200% when an enemy is within 3 meters (src4). Additionally, successive hits after short intervals with the Archangel weapon can knock enemies to the ground (src1). Other weapons, such as the Butcher's Cleaver, also have enhanced attack speed against knocked-down enemies (src2). Furthermore, shooting an enemy in the leg has an increased chance to knock them down (src2).

Weapon Types and Their Effects

Various weapon types in Cyberpunk 2077 contribute to knockdown effects. Blunt weapons, for example, are known for their ability to knock enemies down due to their heavy impact (src1). Additionally, certain modifications can enhance the knockdown chance for specific weapons, such as the K.O. mod, which increases knockdown chance on stunned enemies (src3).

Iconic Weapons and Knockdown

Iconic weapons, such as the Mox and The Headsman, feature unique modifiers that can affect knockdown mechanics. The Mox shotgun, for example, increases knockdown chance significantly when used at close range (src4). The Headsman, while not specifically designed for knockdown, has increased crit damage and reload speed, which can indirectly contribute to more effective combat scenarios (src5).
