The Her Majesty iconic pistol stands out in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty as a premier choice for stealth-focused players. This silenced power pistol, gifted by Alex during a pivotal mission, transforms covert operations with its Optical Camo synergy, delivering flawless accuracy and guaranteed critical headshots. Owning the Phantom Liberty DLC unlocks access, but completing specific story beats is essential.

Why Her Majesty Excels in Night City

Her Majesty redefines pistol playthroughs by emphasizing precision and silence. Its built-in suppressor reduces base damage by 10% but boosts stealth shots by 150%, making it lethal from the shadows. When paired with Optical Camo—a quicksilver skin cyberware that renders V invisible—every bullet lands perfectly, ignoring spread and ensuring headshot crits.

Base stats include 89.23 damage, 2.86 attack speed, 36 effective range, and a +150% headshot multiplier. While it lacks mod slots, an empty scope slot allows optic upgrades. This setup suits Netrunners and solo stealth builds, turning V into a ghost assassin.

Step-by-Step Guide to Acquiring Her Majesty

Her Majesty is unmissable if you follow the Phantom Liberty main storyline. It appears in the Get It Together mission, the sixth in the DLC arc.

  1. Progress to Phantom Liberty: Start the DLC by entering Dogtown and triggering ‘Dog Eat Dog.’ Advance through Lucretia My Reflection, You Know My Name, and Birds with Broken Wings.
  2. Initiate Get It Together: After meeting key contacts like Reed and Alex, this mission focuses on planning the Black Sapphire infiltration. No combat required—mostly dialogue.
  3. Reach the NUSA Hideout: Descend from the Moth via a flooded tunnel. Equip the provided diving suit for the underwater section.
  4. Meet Alex: In the secret warehouse below the bar, discuss the plan. Post-briefing, Alex hands over Her Majesty in a weapon case beside the diving gear.
  5. Grab Extras: Nearby, snag the Militech Falcon Sandevistan for time-slowing bursts, enhancing stealth combos.

Completing Get It Together guarantees the pistol at Tier 5 or higher, scaling with your level.

Optical Camo activation makes Her Majesty god-tier: perfect accuracy ensures every shot connects, while 100% crit chance stacks with perks like Killer Instinct for explosive damage. The laser sight aids aiming, and brushed aluminum aesthetics fit Dogtown’s gritty vibe.

Best Builds and Perks for Her Majesty

Maximize Her Majesty with a stealth Netrunner or pistol crit build. Key perks from Phantom Liberty trees:

  • Optical Camo (Legion Tree): Core enabler; upgrade for longer duration and faster recharge.
  • Deadeye (Handguns): Boosts headshot damage and crit chance.
  • Killer Instinct: +40% crit damage on silenced shots.
  • Style Over Substance: More damage from behind or crouched.
  • Hidden Dragon: Extra stealth attack damage.

Pair with Militech Falcon Sandevistan for slow-mo precision kills. Quickhacks like Contagion or Overheat clear groups post-snipe. Relic perks from Phantom Liberty enhance cyberware synergy.

Combat Strategies and Playstyles

Her Majesty shines in infiltration gigs. Activate Optical Camo, line up headshots, and watch enemies drop silently. In open fights, its reduced base damage limits it, so flank and vanish. Example combo:

  1. Camo in, one-tap elite foes.
  2. Sandevistan for multi-kills.
  3. Hack distractions, reposition.

Against heavies, stack crit damage via gear like the Tetratronic Rippler OS for hacking boosts. It’s weaker in loud brawls—switch to Rasetsu or other iconics then.

Comparing Her Majesty to Other Iconics

WeaponTypeStrengthWeakness
Her MajestyPower PistolStealth crits, silencedNo mods, low base DPS
Militech FalconAssault RifleHigh fire rateLoud, ammo hungry
RasetsuTech SniperBouncing shotsCharged fire only
Yorinobu’s HandgunTech PistolWall-piercingNo stealth focus

Her Majesty tops stealth pistols, outshining Lizzie due to Camo perks.

Common Pitfalls and Fixes

  • Missing the Case: Always check the table post-meeting; it’s unmissable but easy to overlook.
  • Low Tiers: Ensure V is Tier 5+ before Get It Together.
  • Camo Cooldowns: Invest in cyberware capacity early.
  • DLC Requirement: Phantom Liberty mandatory.

Advanced Tips for Mastery

Experiment in Dogtown gigs. Use Her Majesty for silent clears in EBM Petrochem or Stadium Love. Upgrade scopes for 2.5x zoom. In Phantom Liberty’s endings, it aids multiple paths. Post-2.0 Update 2.12, balances make it even deadlier with crit reworks.
