One of the easiest ways to get crafting weapons is by looting every cache you come across in Night City. Most of these caches can be encountered during side gigs, main story quests, and in the open world. So, to find the most number of crafting components fast, focus on completing some of the major side gigs in Cyberpunk 2077, as you will find a hidden cache in most areas during missions.

Another advantage of completing missions is that you will also collect plenty of weapons and armor. These items may not be a good fit for your build in Cyberpunk 2077, so it is recommended that you dismantle these useless weapons and armor to acquire crafting components.

As you progress and level up your V, old gear tends to get useless and take up unnecessary inventory space. Thankfully, you can dismantle them to get more use out of scrap material. You can dismantle any weapons & armor in Cyberpunk 2077 by going into your inventory, hovering your pointer at the item, and holding down the disassemble button.

If you have the Mechanic and Workshop perks, you can also increase the chances of getting crafting components and better items.

Where To Buy Crafting Components

The third and final way to receive components in the game is by going out and buying crafting components in Cyberpunk 2077 directly from vendors. While almost all vendors in the game will sell components, the best place to get them is from junk vendors. Keep in mind that this method can get fairly expensive, so you should have a decent amount of cash before heading out to buy crafting components.
