This has got to be one of the best build demonstration videos out there. Too many "look what I can do" videos that don't really explain anything. Watching what the build is capable of *while* going thru each attribute and each perk is how it should be done, not just a couple of frames at the end of the video. Plus, constantly keeping in mind that different people play different ways with "you may not want this... you don't need this if you want the point elsewhere..."
You just got a new subscriber because you accidentally taught me quite a few things about cyberware that you weren't even actually talking about, just passively. I've never thought about intentionally using the tattoo that I thought was worthless to occupy a spot to save cyberware, but then I realized I could just disable the perk to even have two hands so that I could use a higher tier cyberware somewhere else
So I literally just beat my first playthrough. I'm level 60 and I use my point switch early on. I've got 16 points in intelligence thinking I was going to jump back and forth between St devaston and cyberdeck, but I was wrong. Sandy is the way to go, so I only have five in my body but I have 20 and cool, reflex, and tech and I have all the best cyberware you could want for anything to dash around in and do melee, I highly regret not putting those intelligence points in body. Things like fallout corrupted my brain because in fallout strength is usually the second the last thing besides charisma I worry about. I'm a minimalist with inventory. So I had told myself halfway through my playthrough that this game was so intense I was going to do everything on the first run and then take a break from gaming all together, and because of this one mistake I feel like I missed out on a huge part of my playthrough and now I've got to play through it again with the right point allocation.
Damn, nobody uses a jedi build with errata, hacks and containgon for extra xplosions with every burn? Trying meele with hacks turned out to be like playing fast paced jedi game with active pause. Pure pleasure xD
1.63 was objectively the best time to play Cyberjank $20.77 and I will never apologize for saying so. The QianT 4 Sandevistan was a beast, and Microrotors were actually worth getting. CDPR made sure to solve _THOSE_ problems...
Excellent. Looks like great fun. Gonna reset my Attributes and try this build out. Love the throwing knives, but haven't tried Katanas yet or any Arm weapons. Cheers, Harry.
@@JonJo_ Once I reached level 60 I installed the mod 'Reset Attributes Always Available' from Nexus. It is excellent, and allows you test any build pronto. I am on PC.
You're a bit caught up in pre 2.0 nostalgia. Talking a lot about it though it doesn't have a lot of relevance anymore. Best post 2.0 Katana by far right against hordes of enemies that pairs well with Sandevistan is *Byakko.* Higher attack speed than Cyclone-modded S++ non-iconic Katana, although the attack speed buff is not permanent and instead only lasts for a few seconds after killing someone. So start combat against the weakest of the enemy group. In bossfights without adds this weapon actually is a bit on the weaker side so you might want to carry a second katana for those encounters. The *Errata* is actually a very strong option - if you play with incendiary nades instead of the launcher arms. It would pair even better with a Contagion + Overheat (Raven Microcyber) build than with throwing knifes and Sandy though. In that setup Errata jumps to the top. But then the build is of course not a Sandy-Katana build anymore but primarily a Contagion explosion build with the Errata being one of many tools in the pocket to make enemies go boom or give them the rest if they survive the boom. When going for Berserker instead of Sandevistan (some people want that) the *Gwynbleidd* sword becomes a very strong option, assuming you actually take enough damage to stay at below 25% health to benefit from the effect. Works best with Militech Berserk if you activate it at below 20% and don't use items/perks that heal you. The 25% effects are still active with the other Berserks but as soon as you regenerate a single point of HP you lose them. Make sure that you combine this with other implants and perks that activate at or below 25% health and explicitly not something like Heal-on-Kill, that would be counterproductive. Though Byakko might actually still be a bit better against hordes in this setup but not by much as in the Sandy build. Gwynbleidd will decimate bosses though - the extra 25% damage also applies agains "minibosses" like MaxTac elites. Requires that you own Witcher 3 on the same platform and account to get it. *Jinchu-Maru* is a very decent, high damage option if you go for Optical Camo. Doesn't have the attack speed of Byakko or effects of Errata or Gwynbleidd but the higher crit damage makes up for it. You can even get crit chance very high outside of Optical Camo - the higher your crit chance from all sources is the more competitive this sword becomes. But it probably still never outclasses the Byakko against hordes but it will outclass it in bossfights, especially if you can use Optical Camo mid fight. Best throwing weapon by far is the *Agaou,* especially with the skill tree for throwables filled out. Iconic electric axe with highest damage per throw. It would have one of the highest damage per throw values even without the shock effect but that is icing on the cake, especially against mechs/robots. When going for headshots or breaking the weakpoints that's even more "alpha strike" damage. Found in an organized crime activity in Dogtown (requires Phantom Liberty).
melee builds with sandevistan are always broken to be honest, makes the game too easy for me even, once you got byakko you dont need anything else and you can rush Wakako jobs right off post heist.
This build is not taking advantage of the critical damage bonus from the new iconic cyberware, and it’s not using berserk for higher burst damage, it is certainly not the best katana build lol
I just bought the DLC and Im gonna try and change up the build when I replay. I always do a machete, pistol build with high crit but I wanna try something new
I dont know anything about this game really but ive been playing and i just buy random upgrades. But I feel pretty op I cruised thru the whole game. I'm not convinced any of this matters lol
No it does. You'll soon find out as great as this game is it's pretty damn flawed as well. Like I'm willing to bet you will end up short on Cyberware Capacity and will find modifications you won't be able to make. This guy's build isn't that good but you do need to understand what's going on. Some of the perks don't work and some work so well they're literally broken and breaks the game like Feedback Loop
My question is … how do you do the stealth missions with no hacks whatsoever , not even ping or distract enemies? How do you deal with cameras and such… just started a katana build after 2 net runners… any advice will be appreciated, thanks
You don’t actually need to do anything with stealth, you can still go guns blazing even if the missions says to do it stealth. But if you did actually want to do an actual stealth run, personally I’d recommend running a silenced sniper/pistol to shoot out cameras and to take out solo targets at range
Just get a pc lol. No ones going to be playing current gen consoles in ten years, while in ten years the cyberpunk modding community will still be alive and well.
So does the erratta katana actually give you a stack of pyromania every time you hit an enemy or kill an enemy? Because I'm not seeing any indication when I use it that it is, which I'm mainly just using it for the mitigation... 😊 Also, I have desperately been trying to find a full chart to what every little blue icon next to your health bar means. I've obviously figured out a good chunk of them, but there are some that pop up I have absolutely no idea what they're supposed to mean
Pyromania looks for explosions…mostly. Errata itself doesn’t create those. When I see a blue icon I’m unfamiliar with, I hold the weapon swap wheel button down, and look at the list of blue icons on the left side.
This is not the most broken. Netrunning build using almost exclusively Synapse Burnout (I know is very boring) is the strongest. Katana build is the second, but the gap between them is pretty steep. Melee and netrunning builds are the only builds which can conformably kill MaxTac at the hardest difficulty. Katana's are the strongest of the melee weapons, Byakko being the strongest of them all like you mentioned. The main issue with melee builds is that you do not have as much reach compared to netrunning. I have tested min-maxed katana builds extensively and I often die at some point by a sniper shot. You can also get bursted down easily by turrets/mechs. I test builds in the big camp near the Golden Pacific travel point and usually spawn in MaxTac as well. Another downside is that you will run out of time with Berserk/Sandi uptime, which make you quiet vulnerable. Netrunners in comparison can stay in Overclock indefinitely with Synapse Burnout massive 3 seconds extension on kill. Also Berserk is stronger compared to Sandi. Both Sandi and Berserk basically make you invulnerable, but Berserk has a longer uptime. Especially if you use the Zetatech Berskerk, which has a 11 second duration with only a 25 seconds cooldown. Another notable improvement would be to use Countershell cyberware. It is one of the most OP pieces of cybereware in the game. It helps a lot with preventing burst damage for a low cyber capacity cost. Next Second Heart is a big trap of a cyberware piece. It has a very long cooldown activation and costs a lot of cyber capacity. You should use Bioconductor and Heal-On-Kill instead. With that extra capacity you can get the Cockatrice optics, which will significantly increase your dps. At last the perk Edgerunner is also a trap. The health loss is never worth the extra cyber capacity. Health is one of the most important stats for survivability. You have enough cyber capacity to get all the important pieces of cyberware for any build without using Edgerunner.
These kinda builds suck at bosses. Netgunner properly specced can down the whole Maxtac squad with a single SMG mag and blow through any boss including Smasher in just a couple seconds. Also pretty much invincible with Kerenzhikov+Defenzhikov and Mitigation stacking. Game the Cyberware system for max Quickhack Damage/Headshot Damage/Mitigation Strength stats.
Hi! Can you please point such build for actual (2.2 atm) version? I'd be very appreciated. I know, yt blocks the links but you could point the vid name or channel where I can get more info about that.
I don't think this is even close to being the best sandy build (don't see you murking the entire maxtac squad the moment they land on the groud with just one sandy charge on very hard) and I'm reluctant to say that an optimized sandy build is the best. Optimized Sandy build is easier to play against ncpd and maxtac but optimized netrunner is better for single target battles like boss fights etc... The first mistake of this build is not enough cyberware capacity. Even my netrunner build at level 60 has 302 points without having maxed out tech ( and therefore the edgerunner perk). Remember to pick up everything so you don't miss a shard ( practically impossible, but choose to start a playthrough from phantom liberty minimize the risk of missing). Secondly, you don't use the perk in the tech skill tree that allow you to choose bonus stats every time a piece of cyberware is upgraded. Rerolling every piece of cyberware till you get the bonus melee damage ( usually from 1.9 to 5 %) to have a combined 40 to 50 % melee damage bonus. Some other mistakes would be not raising your shinobi skill to at least 55 so low stamina doesn't affect your melee attack speed in sandy time and not using cockatrice eyes and that hand cyberware to achieve 100% crit chance. Last objective flaw of this build is not mastering the use of a 5++ katana with two tier 5 cyclone mods that allow it to function as an activated byakko, the only prerequisite being having to trigger it through a running attack. Learn it so you can muda muda Adam Smasher, Oda and every single boss in this game without relying on killing something, a fatal flaw that make byakko useless in most boss fights. My final critique would be that almost every sandy enjoyer who makes it their habit to lay waste to the ncpd, militech and maxtac in the badland ( badland has the strongest law enforcement in the game, with 1/3 of the enemies having a red skull symbol over their head. Anny build testing needs to be tested in front of the sunset motel so you can see their limits ) can tell you the best sandy to wipe out endless maxtac waves on very hard is the Falcon. With it maxed out 14 seconds charge ( with perks of course) you just have more time to kill more enemies, not to mention the melee crit damage it provides. Although I undestand if some of you use apogee for cosplay reason, it's worth to remember that Apogee cost 14 more capacity points to install.
Yeah your definitely right i was picking up on these things to this guy is just click baiting build is NOWHERE near the most OVERPOWERED katana build dude is just yapping
Did you watch the whole video? I talked about a lot of this. The Cyberware capacity shards, my capacity on this save being low and the katana. My capacity and Shinobi skills were low on here and still destroys everyone. You’re right though I should show some clips on harder enemies. And I thought leveling up your skills and everything over time was obvious. It’s not like you can just toss skill points into Shinobi lol. Some of the details I missed I just didn’t bring up specifically cause the video already felt too long. I was gonna include a segment talking about the perk that lets you re-roll but totally forgot. I think that one’s only necessary if you’re playing on very hard so you can get every buff you can but I don’t really notice THAT much of a difference after rerolling each cyberware. The build shreds everyone regardless
@@Astrosive Yeah I watched it. Which is why I must point out you should use a 5++ katana with 2 cyclone mods ( cyclone level 5 can be crafted, not a random drop, and there is a place in santo domingo you can consistently pick up a 5++ katana with 2 mod slots once you reach level 50 or 51 with maybe a bit of reloading) along with cockatrice instead of second heart . And you for real use apogee without biomonitor? You almost die or totally died at 1:13 because of that. My issue with the vid is that it's only show a decent sandy build ( unoptimal sandy choice, katanas, melee damage bonus, no biomonitor) against dogtown and city center law enforcement where they are the weakest in the game ( you never wiped out multiple maxtac waves) while calling it the best build. If you say that leveling up skills and cyberwares are obvious, then I hardly see the point of this video being made outside of saying Sandy build stronk, which everyone knows. Hope to see your next build being better optimized and showcased than this one.
I have the apogee sandevistan but it’s only 6 seconds instead of 8?! Is it because I have to level it up more? Because currently I only have it at tier 5. Any help would be much appreciated
Dude I genuinely don’t know a good answer. Everything feels awkward to me so I just eventually got used to left control. This is one of the only times I prefer a controller for this game
@ thanks. I’m currently trying it with mouse side button. Normally struggle with them as well, but after a bit of practice it’s getting easier and is certainly better than left control. Just wish you could have more than one key bound as in hectic fights I keep hitting the wrong side button lol.
You’re either playing on a last gen console or haven’t updated the game. The skill tree got significantly reworked with 2.0 Sadly only next gen and pc got updates after 1.6 My favorite build for last gen is still probably this one: m.ruclips.net/video/FgcX5Ee1ezA/видео.html&pp=ygUVQXN0cm9zaXZlIGN5YmVyIGRlbW9u
3:26 oh how wrong you are. At base you get auto Crits for well timed blocks and the only defense you have other than movement and cover. I can tell by your gameplay you dont have that down. When its used with some Cyberware magic and a little skill you get auto Crits, Stamina and Health refills and Speed increase at the cost of no Stamina for blocking. I got clips of blocking maybe hundreds of bullets in one Kerinzikov activation. Many of them had HMGs and Snipers and as you said, you play on Very Hard. Sorry but not using this on VH while having a blade build with a Sandy that has room for it is pretty foolish. And I dont even like playing on VH. Its enough AI breaking the game to make you miss on Hard as it is. But ive had my fair share of Maxtac waves and from what i can tell its just an excuse not to rely on OS activations and spamming playstyles. Not to good for those that like to use the full combat system.
Kinda bummed that Int builds kinda suck now compared to Cool/Ref. My first playthrough was netrunning when it came out and I had a blast, now it's just kinda meh
Use RAM Reallocator and trigger it's refill before leaving scan. You can drop huge camps and essentially have infinite RAM. Though that's powerful it won't automatically make the game fun for you. The key to fun for me was figuring out how to flow into my synergies. I use both Sandy and Cyberdeck and it took me months to even try the Deck. Now I have to flip a coin on which V I would like to explore Night City with during a Cyberpunk session.
@@s3eriousbl9ck26 I do have that but I play on very hard and don't really like how I have to Q control hacks for them to deal more damage. Even when I do it's not very effective especially since contagion was nerfed
Netrunning builds are literally the strongest if build correctly. Note that you will be almost only spamming Synapse Burnout on everything, so gameplay wise it might be a bit boring.
@@saprone8885Thing is for me it Netrunning in 2.0 doesn't become fun until after level 25, whereas gunslingers, sandy, and katana builds remain fun from start to finish. They also made solos way better as well
Im happy they nerfed netrunning. Find the mechanics really fun but not when u can system reset thru the game 🤣 most fun doing a combat hybrid w contagion + other stuff. 2.0 made the games combat go from a mediocre, starfield level, 5/10 to pushing a solid 10/10 feeling as good as the witcher.
Off the top of my head I don’t even think the Apogee was in the game/they renamed it The best one before 2.0 was the Qiant MK. 4 If you used legendary heat sink mods on it and the bioconductor cyberware, you could bring its cooldown to 2 seconds
How do you get the extra attribute points because I have phantom liberty I just haven’t started yet because I started the game about a week ago so if anyone could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated
I’m sure you know but leveling up gives points. Additionally, doing specific things like performing quick hacks to level up your “netrunner” category or other categories gives you perk points per 5 levels. Also, double jumping and dashing everywhere gives you shinobi points. There are also progression shards or perk shards granting you points to invest in any category.
It's much more intuitive, you just double tap your jump button and there you go, double jump. Charge jump has this weird, i dunno, jankiness? You have to stay earth bound for the jump to charge, and sometimes it doesn't work the way it's advertised, which is not ideal, especially with hyper mobility builds, plus, especially in combat, double hop has just much more utility. Because you can do Hop -> Dash -> Double Hop -> Dash, which just gives silly amount of mobility, and distance coverage.
Only last gen players are stuck with that version. Current gen players we got the latest update which is 2.2. You should definitely a get ps5 if you can for this game.
How do you have that plus and minus next to your attributes?? i'm missing 2 points for some reason and it's pissing me off, it stops me from maxing my stealth pistol build
The plus and minus is because I recorded those parts on the Cyberpunk build planner Is your save from pre 2.0? If I’m remembering right, prior to 2.0 if you didn’t use all of your attribute points when you created your character, you lost them. The only other thing I can think of is that it’s bugged
Probably the best build in the game after 2.0/2.2
Do you guys wanna see a netrunner, pistol or any other builds?
Yeah more cyberpunk 🥱
Super Stealth build without Intelligence Tree investment.
Yes 😂
Netrunner please!
I've been playing a fists only build and it's actually fun as hell. You can go any direction you want with it too, all melee effects work on fists.
Wow. A cyberpunk build where they actually teach you what perks you should get first. Amazing
YES! I find this so annoying when they don't tell you how to get there, where to start etc.

I use camo, the camo katana, and berserk.
I really don't sprint in combat w katana
It's a dash into thunder clap heavy to close gaps

isnt para bellum better than bionic joints? what about proxy shield over shockn wave?
It is, but requires capacity he doesn’t have.
Shock n Awe triggers Pyromania.
Currently doing a similar build using INT/COOL build with Gorilla Arms, Seraph Pistol, Overwatch, Punk Knife, and Canto MK6.
Absolutely busted.
funny, this was always my build from the very start
This is not the most broken. Netrunning build using almost exclusively Synapse Burnout (I know is very boring) is the strongest. Katana build is the second, but the gap between them is pretty steep. Melee and netrunning builds are the only builds which can conformably kill MaxTac at the hardest difficulty. Katana's are the strongest of the melee weapons, Byakko being the strongest of them all like you mentioned.
The main issue with melee builds is that you do not have as much reach compared to netrunning. I have tested min-maxed katana builds extensively and I often die at some point by a sniper shot. You can also get bursted down easily by turrets/mechs. I test builds in the big camp near the Golden Pacific travel point and usually spawn in MaxTac as well.
Another downside is that you will run out of time with Berserk/Sandi uptime, which make you quiet vulnerable. Netrunners in comparison can stay in Overclock indefinitely with Synapse Burnout massive 3 seconds extension on kill.
Also Berserk is stronger compared to Sandi. Both Sandi and Berserk basically make you invulnerable, but Berserk has a longer uptime. Especially if you use the Zetatech Berskerk, which has a 11 second duration with only a 25 seconds cooldown.
Another notable improvement would be to use Countershell cyberware. It is one of the most OP pieces of cybereware in the game. It helps a lot with preventing burst damage for a low cyber capacity cost.
Next Second Heart is a big trap of a cyberware piece. It has a very long cooldown activation and costs a lot of cyber capacity. You should use Bioconductor and Heal-On-Kill instead. With that extra capacity you can get the Cockatrice optics, which will significantly increase your dps.
At last the perk Edgerunner is also a trap. The health loss is never worth the extra cyber capacity. Health is one of the most important stats for survivability. You have enough cyber capacity to get all the important pieces of cyberware for any build without using Edgerunner.
Do u have a mantis blade build?
You can basically use any Katana build since they benefit from the perks in the blade tree.
These kinda builds suck at bosses. Netgunner properly specced can down the whole Maxtac squad with a single SMG mag and blow through any boss including Smasher in just a couple seconds. Also pretty much invincible with Kerenzhikov+Defenzhikov and Mitigation stacking. Game the Cyberware system for max Quickhack Damage/Headshot Damage/Mitigation Strength stats.
Hi! Can you please point such build for actual (2.2 atm) version? I'd be very appreciated. I know, yt blocks the links but you could point the vid name or channel where I can get more info about that.

Cp0 wow my man just made a One Piece reference 😂
i like gorilla arms
Black Unicorn is no slouch
Reward for owing Witcher, I think, and/or linking account to GOG… iow not in base game or DLC
I have a question i'm on level 38 and at the final mission one the main game should i do all the side quest first an then start phantom liberty ?
I'd probably do Phantom Liberty first for all the extra gear it adds. Plus the story and everything is really dang good
@@Astrosive ok thanks
Don't finish PL tho. Not unless you don't care what ending and items you get. Just get to the last mission for both then make your decision.
My tech tree looks so much different on ps5 is that normale
Make sure you have downloaded the ps5 version and not the ps4 version. Got me too.
I don't think this is even close to being the best sandy build (don't see you murking the entire maxtac squad the moment they land on the groud with just one sandy charge on very hard) and I'm reluctant to say that an optimized sandy build is the best. Optimized Sandy build is easier to play against ncpd and maxtac but optimized netrunner is better for single target battles like boss fights etc... The first mistake of this build is not enough cyberware capacity. Even my netrunner build at level 60 has 302 points without having maxed out tech ( and therefore the edgerunner perk). Remember to pick up everything so you don't miss a shard ( practically impossible, but choose to start a playthrough from phantom liberty minimize the risk of missing). Secondly, you don't use the perk in the tech skill tree that allow you to choose bonus stats every time a piece of cyberware is upgraded. Rerolling every piece of cyberware till you get the bonus melee damage ( usually from 1.9 to 5 %) to have a combined 40 to 50 % melee damage bonus. Some other mistakes would be not raising your shinobi skill to at least 55 so low stamina doesn't affect your melee attack speed in sandy time and not using cockatrice eyes and that hand cyberware to achieve 100% crit chance. Last objective flaw of this build is not mastering the use of a 5++ katana with two tier 5 cyclone mods that allow it to function as an activated byakko, the only prerequisite being having to trigger it through a running attack. Learn it so you can muda muda Adam Smasher, Oda and every single boss in this game without relying on killing something, a fatal flaw that make byakko useless in most boss fights. My final critique would be that almost every sandy enjoyer who makes it their habit to lay waste to the ncpd, militech and maxtac in the badland ( badland has the strongest law enforcement in the game, with 1/3 of the enemies having a red skull symbol over their head. Anny build testing needs to be tested in front of the sunset motel so you can see their limits ) can tell you the best sandy to wipe out endless maxtac waves on very hard is the Falcon. With it maxed out 14 seconds charge ( with perks of course) you just have more time to kill more enemies, not to mention the melee crit damage it provides. Although I undestand if some of you use apogee for cosplay reason, it's worth to remember that Apogee cost 14 more capacity points to install.
❤
Yeah your definitely right i was picking up on these things to this guy is just click baiting build is NOWHERE near the most OVERPOWERED katana build dude is just yapping
Did you watch the whole video? I talked about a lot of this. The Cyberware capacity shards, my capacity on this save being low and the katana. My capacity and Shinobi skills were low on here and still destroys everyone.
You’re right though I should show some clips on harder enemies. And I thought leveling up your skills and everything over time was obvious. It’s not like you can just toss skill points into Shinobi lol. Some of the details I missed I just didn’t bring up specifically cause the video already felt too long.
I was gonna include a segment talking about the perk that lets you re-roll but totally forgot. I think that one’s only necessary if you’re playing on very hard so you can get every buff you can but I don’t really notice THAT much of a difference after rerolling each cyberware. The build shreds everyone regardless
@@Astrosive Yeah I watched it. Which is why I must point out you should use a 5++ katana with 2 cyclone mods ( cyclone level 5 can be crafted, not a random drop, and there is a place in santo domingo you can consistently pick up a 5++ katana with 2 mod slots once you reach level 50 or 51 with maybe a bit of reloading) along with cockatrice instead of second heart . And you for real use apogee without biomonitor? You almost die or totally died at 1:13 because of that. My issue with the vid is that it's only show a decent sandy build ( unoptimal sandy choice, katanas, melee damage bonus, no biomonitor) against dogtown and city center law enforcement where they are the weakest in the game ( you never wiped out multiple maxtac waves) while calling it the best build. If you say that leveling up skills and cyberwares are obvious, then I hardly see the point of this video being made outside of saying Sandy build stronk, which everyone knows. Hope to see your next build being better optimized and showcased than this one.
Can you point please on good build that capable to wipe maxtac guys like they are "white" mobs?
I have the apogee sandevistan but it’s only 6 seconds instead of 8?! Is it because I have to level it up more? Because currently I only have it at tier 5. Any help would be much appreciated
There's one that gives you 10 seconds
It's 8 seconds when you include it's Attunement perk. You get an extra 2 seconds at Tier 5++ if you have 20 Attribute Points in Reflex.
@@s3eriousbl9ck26 ohhh thank you so much I didn’t think of that 🙏
2:29 don’t mind me
What’s a good key to rebind dash to? I really struggled with the left ctrl
Dude I genuinely don’t know a good answer. Everything feels awkward to me so I just eventually got used to left control.
This is one of the only times I prefer a controller for this game
@ thanks. I’m currently trying it with mouse side button. Normally struggle with them as well, but after a bit of practice it’s getting easier and is certainly better than left control. Just wish you could have more than one key bound as in hectic fights I keep hitting the wrong side button lol.
how do i respect the attribute points ?
1 time use! button on bottom of character screen
My skill tree looks very different and I can’t find any of the skills
You’re either playing on a last gen console or haven’t updated the game. The skill tree got significantly reworked with 2.0
Sadly only next gen and pc got updates after 1.6
My favorite build for last gen is still probably this one: m.ruclips.net/video/FgcX5Ee1ezA/видео.html&pp=ygUVQXN0cm9zaXZlIGN5YmVyIGRlbW9u
I didn’t even realize I was playing on the ps4 edition of the game
@@dwight8005 Why is that ? That is actually better than reworked skills in 2.0
3:26 oh how wrong you are. At base you get auto Crits for well timed blocks and the only defense you have other than movement and cover. I can tell by your gameplay you dont have that down.
When its used with some Cyberware magic and a little skill you get auto Crits, Stamina and Health refills and Speed increase at the cost of no Stamina for blocking. I got clips of blocking maybe hundreds of bullets in one Kerinzikov activation. Many of them had HMGs and Snipers and as you said, you play on Very Hard.
Sorry but not using this on VH while having a blade build with a Sandy that has room for it is pretty foolish. And I dont even like playing on VH. Its enough AI breaking the game to make you miss on Hard as it is. But ive had my fair share of Maxtac waves and from what i can tell its just an excuse not to rely on OS activations and spamming playstyles. Not to good for those that like to use the full combat system.
What are the eyes anyone knows
doomsayer. these give you critical chance
Downvote for not having the J+V tatoo
how are you guys still have attributes and perk points even tho you're level 60?? Is that some kind of cheat or what?
Phantom liberty gives extra skill points
are you on a modded acc? how do you have both the J+V and the billy the goat tattoo on the same save file.
Theres a perk in tech ability at level 15 called ambidextrous that lets you have another cyberware for your hands
@ that’s not what i’m talking about ik about that. I mean you can only get one tattoo or the other you can’t get both on the same run.
I miss the 500% crit chance with the satori. Whyyyyyyy take it away from CDPR 😭
I remember that, so much fun
I love night city
V tutorial?
Kinda bummed that Int builds kinda suck now compared to Cool/Ref. My first playthrough was netrunning when it came out and I had a blast, now it's just kinda meh
Use RAM Reallocator and trigger it's refill before leaving scan. You can drop huge camps and essentially have infinite RAM. Though that's powerful it won't automatically make the game fun for you. The key to fun for me was figuring out how to flow into my synergies. I use both Sandy and Cyberdeck and it took me months to even try the Deck. Now I have to flip a coin on which V I would like to explore Night City with during a Cyberpunk session.
@@s3eriousbl9ck26 I do have that but I play on very hard and don't really like how I have to Q control hacks for them to deal more damage. Even when I do it's not very effective especially since contagion was nerfed
Oh yes. I remember a netrunner build i had pre-2.0, it was so much fun lol. Used to feel like i was Alt Cunningham back then.
Netrunning builds are literally the strongest if build correctly. Note that you will be almost only spamming Synapse Burnout on everything, so gameplay wise it might be a bit boring.
@@saprone8885Thing is for me it Netrunning in 2.0 doesn't become fun until after level 25, whereas gunslingers, sandy, and katana builds remain fun from start to finish. They also made solos way better as well
Im happy they nerfed netrunning. Find the mechanics really fun but not when u can system reset thru the game 🤣 most fun doing a combat hybrid w contagion + other stuff.
2.0 made the games combat go from a mediocre, starfield level, 5/10 to pushing a solid 10/10 feeling as good as the witcher.
katanas are so broken in this game
2.2 Revolver builds upwards of 1300 damage/crit guaranteed every time
If I were to boot up my ps4 would I get to experience pre nerf apogee sandy?
Off the top of my head I don’t even think the Apogee was in the game/they renamed it
The best one before 2.0 was the Qiant MK. 4
If you used legendary heat sink mods on it and the bioconductor cyberware, you could bring its cooldown to 2 seconds
@ thank you
Np you get it at the ripper doc named fingers if you don’t punch him during the main quest. If you did, the next best is the Dynalar Sandevistan
Fight chimera with katana good luck 😆
How do you get the extra attribute points because I have phantom liberty I just haven’t started yet because I started the game about a week ago so if anyone could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated
I’m sure you know but leveling up gives points. Additionally, doing specific things like performing quick hacks to level up your “netrunner” category or other categories gives you perk points per 5 levels. Also, double jumping and dashing everywhere gives you shinobi points. There are also progression shards or perk shards granting you points to invest in any category.
why double jump instead of charge jump?
It's much more intuitive, you just double tap your jump button and there you go, double jump. Charge jump has this weird, i dunno, jankiness? You have to stay earth bound for the jump to charge, and sometimes it doesn't work the way it's advertised, which is not ideal, especially with hyper mobility builds, plus, especially in combat, double hop has just much more utility. Because you can do Hop -> Dash -> Double Hop -> Dash, which just gives silly amount of mobility, and distance coverage.
Dash jumping I guess.
Better control and more freedom.
Wait I thought 1.61 was the latest version
Only if u play on last gen cus they dont support that anymore :( but trust tho cus cypk77 is worth getting a ps5 or whatever over
Only last gen players are stuck with that version. Current gen players we got the latest update which is 2.2. You should definitely a get ps5 if you can for this game.
@@jaylenstillliveslast gen has the qaint T mk4 sandy right?
It is definitely the best version
nicE
How do you have that plus and minus next to your attributes?? i'm missing 2 points for some reason and it's pissing me off, it stops me from maxing my stealth pistol build
The plus and minus is because I recorded those parts on the Cyberpunk build planner
Is your save from pre 2.0? If I’m remembering right, prior to 2.0 if you didn’t use all of your attribute points when you created your character, you lost them.
The only other thing I can think of is that it’s bugged
