Is Skippy the best pistol in Cyberpunk?

Skippy is a popular, fun, and powerful early-to-mid-game smart pistol in Cyberpunk 2077 due to its scaling, near-perfect headshots (in killer mode) or leg shots (pacifist mode) with homing rounds, but it becomes less effective late-game compared to other high-end options like Genjiroh or Divided We Stand, which offer higher sustained damage and utility, making Skippy great for its unique personality but not necessarily the absolute "best" endgame choice.

Is it worth keeping Skippy?

The choice is between keeping the iconic weapon or cashing out for $7,000 Eurodollars. Returning the weapon is the smart choice, so long as Skippy — now Daisy — isn't permanently set to Puppy-Loving Pacifist. Even with the factory reset, that choice remains.

How to permanently keep Skippy?

To keep Skippy in Cyberpunk 2077, you must initially choose the Puppy Loving Pacifist mode, get 50 "kills," then when Skippy asks about its owner, select the option to keep it (like "I don't know" or "I'm not having a conversation with my gun"), which locks it into the headshot-focused Stone Cold Killer mode permanently, allowing you to keep it even after the "Machine Gun" quest. If you pick Stone Cold Killer first, Skippy locks into the weaker pacifist mode, so always start with the opposite of your desired outcome.

How many kills with Skippy?

To get Skippy to switch modes in Cyberpunk 2077, you need to reach 50 kills or incapacitations, depending on your initial choice, which triggers a dialogue to change its targeting preference between headshots (Stone Cold Killer) or leg shots (Puppy-Loving Pacifist). After 50 of the chosen action (e.g., 50 headshots if you picked "Stone Cold Killer"), Skippy asks you why you chose that, and your answer locks it into a permanent mode, though picking "Stone Cold Killer" initially locks you into "Pacifist" after 50 kills.

What happens if you return Skippy to Regina?

Taking Skippy to Regina in Cyberpunk 2077 triggers the "Machine Gun" side job, where she takes the gun for a "factory reset," removing its AI (voice/personality) but allowing you to get the gun back as a standard weapon with its special targeting mode intact (if you chose the right mode). If you refuse, Skippy gets stuck in "Bad User" mode, constantly screaming and malfunctioning; if you agree but don't return it, it works fine but the quest remains.
