Let me tell you, being a true choom in Night City isn't just about chrome and street cred. It's about the hunt—the thrill of finding those super rare, easily missable items that most players just breeze right past. I've spent countless hours across multiple playthroughs, and let me tell you, some of these goodies are so well-hidden or locked behind specific choices, you'd need a BD wreath to find them all! Remember, it's 2026, and the game's been polished to a mirror shine, but these classic treasures are still the ultimate flex. Ready to see what you might have missed?
🦂 Scorpion's Action Figure & Stinger Knife: A Nomad's Tribute
Ever done a side gig for Mitch? If you haven't done "I'll Fly Away" before starting "Queen of the Highway," you've missed a heart-wrenching moment and some iconic loot. Mitch hands you a cool action figure (looks just like Mortal Kombat's Scorpion, right?) and the "Stinger" iconic knife that dishes out bleed and poison. That little statuette? It goes right on your apartment shelf. It's more than decor; it's a memory of a fallen Aldecaldo. Pro tip: Do NOT progress the Panam storyline without doing this job first, or it's gone forever!
🦎 The Secret Iguana Egg: Patience is a Virtue
Okay, who knew you could get a pet iguana in a game about cybernetic rebellion? During "The Heist" at Konpeki Plaza, in Yorinobu's swanky pad, there's a live iguana chilling by a tree trunk. Scan around, and you'll find its egg. Take it home to your megabuilding apartment, place it in the terrarium, and then... wait. And wait. For 90 in-game days. Then, congrats, you're a reptile parent! It's the second pet after Nibbles the cat. In the biotech-scarce Night City of 2026, having these two is a serious status symbol.
💖 Meredith's... Ahem... Unique Weapon
This one's for the romancers and the chaotic players. Remember "The Pickup" with the Maelstrom gang? If you play your cards right with Meredith Stout (and by 'right,' I mean either use her clean data shard or turn the All Foods plant into a bloodbath), she'll call you after The Heist for a... private meeting. 😉 After the, uh, cutscene, don't just leave! Look on the bed. There it is: the one, the only, the gloriously ridiculous "Sir John Phallustiff" melee weapon. It's as phallic as it sounds, and yes, it's iconic. A truly unforgettable souvenir.
🃏 Judgement or The Devil: Your Ending, Your Card
Finishing Misty's "Fool on the Hill" tarot hunt? Here's the kicker: you can never get all the cards in one playthrough. The last two are locked to your ending choice. Attack Arasaka Tower with the Aldecaldos or Rogue? After beating Adam Smasher, scan the wall for the Judgement card. Choose to side with Hanako Arasaka? You'll get The Devil instead. This choice doesn't just affect your ending; it determines which tarot card stickers you can use in Photo Mode! Which path will you choose?
⚫ Canto Mk.6 OR Erebus: The Blackwall's Power
Phantom Liberty DLC brought some of the game's most overpowered gear, but you can only get one. Want the insane Canto Mk.6 power SMG or the game-breaking Erebus cyberdeck? You must side with Reed in "Firestarter." Later, in the terrifying "Somewhat Damaged" mission, you'll find the crafting specs for both. But here's the catch! In the follow-up job "This Corrosion," you take the specs to Yoko Tsuru in Kabuki. She can only decrypt and enable you to craft ONE of them. Both weapons use the devastating Blackwall Gateway quickhack that flatlines enemies automatically. Choose wisely, choom!
🏍️ Jackie's 'Tuned' ARCH: A Nomad-Exclusive Ride
This one hurts if you didn't start as a Nomad. Only Nomad V (or those who skipped the intro via Phantom Liberty) can get Jackie's upgraded, tuned ARCH motorcycle. Before the All Foods raid in "The Pickup," you need to have a chat with Jackie in the garage. Here's the tricky part: you need at least 8 points in Technical Ability to unlock the dialogue option to give him tuning tips. You can respec just for this! If you do it right, after the "Heroes" memorial mission, you'll find this beauty waiting for you—with new exhaust pipes and more horsepower. It's the best ride in memory of our best choom.
🔫 Pride & Prejudice: The Ultimate Endgame Duo
Think you've beaten the game? Think again. To get Rogue's iconic pistol, "Pride," and its matching assault rifle, "Prejudice," you need to take a very specific path. You must side with Johnny Silverhand for the final assault and raid Arasaka Tower with Rogue by your side. You'll pick up Prejudice while gearing up in the Afterlife. After the epic final showdown with Adam Smasher, look on the ground to find Rogue's Pride. Here's the best part: even though you get them at the literal end, once credits roll and you reload your save to before the point of no return, you'll have both iconic weapons in your inventory. Now you can tear through leftover side gigs or finally take on MaxTac with style!
So, how many of these ultra-rare items did you manage to snag? I'm telling you, finding them all is what separates the casual mercs from the true legends of Night City. Every one has a story, a specific choice, or a ridiculous amount of patience behind it. Which one was the hardest for you to find? Let's share our war stories! 🎮✨
