Unlike some of the other powerful weapons in the game, the Thermal Katana is neither a mission reward nor does a powerful mini-boss wield it. The weapon is located inside an Electric Corporation building on the eastern side of Night City.

It can be found in the middle of the Longshore South and the Republic East fast travel marker. On the map, players will notice a bridge between these two markers. The building containing this weapon sits right under that bridge.

Players will notice the "Electric Corporation" neon sign that indicates the correct building. Before heading inside, note that this is a hostile zone and may involve combat.

Head towards the right side of the building until a set of stairs labeled Sector 0 becomes visible. This area could be difficult to navigate, so ensure V keeps heading downwards. Towards the end, there will be a door with a bright red light above it.

Inside, go left to find a massive door that requires a Technical Ability of level 19 to open. This is a pretty high requirement, so make sure V has reached the appropriate Technical Ability level.

Once the door has been opened, players will see a furnace containing the Thermal Katana. Simply pick up the weapon to add it to V's arsenal in Cyberpunk 2077.
