# Vehicle Weapon Variants (A, B, C)

## Summary

**Published:** Aug 24 2025 by [mana vortex](mailto:undefined) based on research by [oranje3.interactive](mailto:undefined)\
**Last documented update**: Aug 24 2025 by [mana vortex](mailto:undefined)

This guide will teach you how to use different variants for vehicle guns on the example of the **Mizutani Shion**.

## Wait, that's not what I want!

* To learn more about [Weaponizing vehicles](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/vehicles/weaponizing-vehicles.md), check the corresponding wiki page.
* If you want to create different appearances for player weapons, check [ItemAdditions: Weapons](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/items-equipment/adding-new-items/weapons.md)

## Different positions

The guns are positioned via the `relativePositions` of their `entSlot`s (find the `entSlotComponent` called `vehicle_slots` in the `.ent` file):

Read on to find out how to pick the variant.

## Positioning weapons

You assign the weapon variant via `visualTags` in the `.app` file (they must correspond by name to entries in the `vehicle_slots` component).

{% hint style="info" %}
`DualWeaponPosA` will assign the power weapons to `ehiclePowerWeaponRightA` and `VehiclePowerWeaponLeftA`.
{% endhint %}

## Weapon appearances

By using different appearances with their own components, you can pick different appearances and chunkmasks per component. You can read more about this under [https://github.com/CDPR-Modding-Documentation/Cyberpunk-Modding-Docs/blob/main/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/3d-objects-.mesh-files#material-assignment](https://github.com/CDPR-Modding-Documentation/Cyberpunk-Modding-Docs/blob/main/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/3d-objects-.mesh-files#material-assignment "mention").

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/vehicles/weaponizing-vehicles/vehicle-weapon-variants-a-b-c.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
