Many of the game’s most iconic and strongest clothing items aren’t easy to find. In fact, they can be incredibly easy to miss, unless they’re tied to a specific mission. It’s recommended to keep one’s eyes peeled when hunting down these incredibly strong clothing items. Keep in mind some of these might scale to player level and can be modded, and base armor stats are therefore only an estimate.
Updated on November 15, 2022 by Ritwik Mitra:Cyberpunk 2077 is a great RPG that has definitely salvaged a lot of its reputation following a steady stream of updates and the renewed wave of interest following the release of the brilliant Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
The game has several elements that players need to track, including the look of their character! With the transmog system, players can now finally aim for the look they want without worrying about any armor ratings and the like. Here are some of the best clothing options that players can obtain in Cyberpunk 2077.
20 David’s Jacket
The story of David Martinez is a tragic one, with his sacrifice being critical to protect Lucy from the might of Adam Smasher. Players who loved Studio Trigger’s anime can actually wear David’s Jacket in the game if they wish!
After seeing the iconic Edgerunners symbol and checking out an illegal braindance, V gets some messages that lead him to obtain David’s Jacket. This legendary piece of equipment looks pretty great and has great stats depending on the level V has before seeking this jacket out.
19 Johnny’s Tank Top
Johnny Silverhand is an interesting character who is played by the great Keanu Reeves. It’s only a given that he’s one of the best parts of the game, and his interactions with V are the cherry on top of a masterful and emotional experience.
Players who really love Johnny Silverhand can aspire to be just like him by wearing this rockerboy’s clothes, down to his iconic tank top. It’s a simple piece of clothing, but it’s the history behind this tank top that makes it such a valuable thing to acquire.
18 Johnny’s Aviators
Of course, Johnny’s tank top won’t be enough to complete this look. The frontman of Samurai had several other articles of clothing that made his look so iconic, with his aviators being a crucial part of the outfit.
Johnny wears his aviators and pulls this look off several times throughout the game, and it’s only a given that players would also want to wear this at one point. Thankfully, players can get Johnny’s aviators during the events of Chippin’ In without having to worry about missing it.
17 Johnny’s Shoes
Another vital piece of equipment that players should seek out if they wish to complete Silverhand’s set is his boots. Unlike most of his other articles of clothing, getting Johnny’s shoes can prove to be a bit more complicated.
Players need to initiate the Gig: Family Heirloom and loot the quest-important locker in this mission to get these boots. It’s a pretty decent piece of clothing that is quite stylish to boot.
16 Wolf School Jacket
It would be impossible to talk about CD Projekt Red as a developer without mentioning the game that made them so popular in the first place. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an absolute masterpiece of a game, and it was only a matter of time before Cyberpunk 2077 would pay homage to this title.
Players can get a pretty rad-looking jacket in their storage once they gain access to their apartment. The Wolf School Jacket emulates the armored look of Geralt’s medieval armor, which surprisingly fits in with the whole futuristic aesthetic of Cyberpunk 2077.

6 Johnny’s Pants
Location: Heywood, The Glen, during Gig: Psychofan Armor: 100
Unlike many other Johnny Silverhand items, Johnny’s pants can’t be found within a full-fledged side mission or main quest. Keep an eye out for a special gig titled Psychofan, which involves the player stealing Kerry Eurodyne’s guitar in The Glen.
