Unlike the common Yasha Smart Sniper Rifle that was part of the Twitch Drop, where you had no choice but to buy two Twitch subscriptions, the 2.5 Patch update gets you this without microtransactions. If your preferred style of combat is to stay far away from the arena and take everyone out at range, then you are going to fall in love with this weapon.
In this guide, I’ll show you exactly where to find a Yasha Smart Sniper Rifle in Cyberpunk 2077. I will also go over the stat details for the Yasha Smart Sniper and how it’s an improvement over the older version.
Yasha Smart Sniper Location in Cyberpunk 2077 2.5

The Secret Yasha Smart Sniper can be bought from Herold, the merchant in Dogtown, for 173945 Eddies.

Get to the EBM Petrochem Stadium Fast Travel point in Dogtown (Pacifica). We will begin our journey from here. Once you are in the spot, you will see the golden statue in the middle of the area. We have to go through the doorway on the left, as marked on the image above.

You will soon find yourself inside the weapon market with many merchants selling weapons, but only one of them has the weapon we are looking for, so avoid everyone; just keep heading straight, and you will find our guy on the right, as seen in the image above. Now you can buy the sniper rifle from Herold, the weapon seller, for 173945 Eddies.
Yasha Smart Sniper Stats
People who are familiar with the sniper rifle category can be able to tell that the Yasha is a different variant of the Tsunami Ashura Smart Sniper Rifle. Here, I’m going to compare the old Yasha Smart Sniper rifle to the newer one with the 2.5 Patch update.

The mod slots and the weight stay the same for both versions, but the newer Yasha Smart Sniper Rifle is a decent improvement over the original. The damage number is the highlight overall; you are going from 334 to 378.
