Cyberpunk 2077: 10 BEST Builds [120+ Hours Experience]

Attributes

Lastly, the Cool attribute will add some further buffs to your build, which can be immensely useful for multiple scenarios. For example, players will get an increase in Resistance, Stealth damage, Crit Damage, etc.

Here is how you should allocate your Attribute Points for the Cyber Samurai Build (Max Level):

• Body: 3
• Reflexes: 18
• Technical Ability: 12
• Intelligence: 20
• Cool: 18

Skills & Perks

To optimize the Cyber Samurai Build in Cyberpunk 2077, concentrate on unlocking perks related to Reflexes, Intelligence, and Cool. Prioritize Blades Skills in Reflexes, especially if you’re wielding a Katana. In Intelligence, focus on acquiring the Best Quickhacking skills to enhance your Cyber Samurai Build further. Explore Cool Perks in both Ninjutsu and Cold Blood categories.

Equipment

First things first, the Tetratronic Rippler MK.4 operating system is the most important item for the Cyber Samurai Build. Without it, you’d be missing out on half of the benefits of this build. The Tetratronic Rippler MK.4 has 10 Base RAM, 8 Buffer Sizes, and 6 slots. In addition to that, you’ll have access to some key quick hacks too.

On the other hand, I recommend going for a Katana alongside the Monowire Arm Cyberware. Both of these will make you unstoppable on the battlefield, especially when paired with all the other Cyberwares and Quickhacks I have mentioned above.

Attributes

Moving on, here is the recommended split of Attribute Points for the Stealth Build at Level 50:

• Body: 3
• Reflexes: 20
• Technical Ability: 3
• Intelligence: 15
• Cool: 20

Skills & Perks

For the Stealth Build, players will be using a Handgun with suppression. Other ranged weapons hardly complement the sneaky tactic. Therefore, it is best if you go for a Handgun. Ultimately, it is important to unlock some Handgun Perks in the Reflexes Attribute Tree, such as High Noon and Desperado.

Equipment

As I mentioned earlier, the Stealth Build is best to run with a Handgun, preferably a weapon like the “Pride.” However, you will need to run a few mods on your Cyberpunk 2077 pistol, such as the Trajectory Analysis, to get the best out of it. You can also add an optic attachment for precision. 

Attributes

The Sandevistan Build’s Attribute distribution depends on your weapon preference. For Shotguns or Gorilla Arms, you should invest in Body Attributes, while for Katanas, Blades, and ranged weapons, allocate more points to Reflexes. Personally, I think the Sandevistan works best with the latter option, providing a satisfying experience of slowing time and engaging in close-quarters combat or swiftly taking down multiple enemies with rapid gunfire.

Nonetheless, here is a preferred setup for the Sandevistan Build for V:

• Body: 15
• Reflexes: 19
• Technical Ability: 7
• Intelligence: 3
• Cool: 13

Skills & Perks

To be honest, there are no perfect perk picks for the Sandevistan Build. For the build, it’s completely up to the player to get what suits their playstyle. Mainly because the Sandevistan build relies on Cyberware rather than perks. Hence, you can feel free to choose any perks you want to invest points into.

Equipment

For the Sandevistan Build, weapon choice isn’t fixed, so I think you should prioritize acquiring the right perks. The key lies in Cyberdeck and Cyberware selections, which are crucial for the time-slowing effect. You should ensure a dedicated Sandevistan Cyberdeck and consider cyberwares like Heal-on-Kill, Kerenzikov, and Nanorelays to enhance the build.

Crafting the Heatsink Operating System Mod is advisable for reducing the Sandevistan Cyberdeck’s cooldown. This versatile setup is also recommended for beginners in Cyberpunk 2077.

Attributes

In addition to that, players can also opt to invest some points in Cool and Body which will help them improve resistance, speed, and damage. So here’s a recommended Attributes setup for the Ricochet build:

• Body: 13
• Reflexes: 20
• Technical Ability: 17
• Intelligence: 4
• Cool: 17

Skills & Perks

In the Ricochet Build, the perks choice will vary from player to player. It all depends on whether you use ARs, Snipers, Handguns, or SMGs and your playstyle, whether you choose to rush in, play stealthily, or have a combined strategy. Considering your playstyle, pick out your perks.

However, there are a few hand-picked perks that you must have while running the Ricochet Build in Cyberpunk 2077. First off, the “Play the Angles” Perk (Technical Ability) is immense; it will increase the damage inflicted by ricochet bullets by 50%. In addition to that, also get the “Draw the Line” Perk (Technical Ability), which previews the bullet trajectory before you start firing.

Equipment

When it comes to the equipment of this Cyberpunk 2077 Build, make sure you have a Power Weapon. Without it, the build will be incomplete. Additionally, players will also need to check whether their weapon has ricochet ability or not. You can use weapons like Death and Taxes, Moron Labe, and Crash. RC-& Babaroga and RC Ifrit are some great mod choices that can further enhance the ricochet ability of your weapon.

Last but not least, make sure you acquire the Ballistic Coprocessor Hand Cyberware, which will increase ricochet damage by 50%. You can visit any Ripperdoc to get this and some other best Cyberpunk 2077 Cyberware. In conclusion, if you’re looking to mess around, then the Ricochet setup is a fun Cyberpunk 2077 build that you can try out.

Attributes

As for the rest, you can try pooling some points into Cool, Intelligence, and Body. Here’s a recommended Attribute allocation guide for the Engineer Build:

• Body: 15
• Reflexes: 20
• Technical Ability: 20
• Intelligence: 3
• Cool: 3

Skills & Perks

Skills are essential for the Engineer Build. Your skill choice can literally make or break this build. First and foremost, the crucial choices are found in the Technical Ability Attribute tree. Here you can equip your Crafting skills as well as Engineer skills. The latter will help you greatly enhance the performance of your Tech weapons and Grenades.

As for the other skills, you can brush through some of the best Reflexes and Body skills to give that extra push to the Engineer Build.

Equipment

Finally, the equipment choice matters a lot for the Engineer Build. To start things off, you will need a tech weapon. Widow Maker, Nekomata, and Lizzie are some of the best tech weapons you can go for. Other than that, the Feedback Circuit Cyberware for the Circulatory system is a good shout for an Engineer Build.

As for the quick hacks, try going for the ones which offer control. For example, Weapon Glitch, Reboot optics, and Cripple Movement will help you take control of your enemies and dictate the course of battle.

Attributes

Here is what your Attributes should look like for the Net Melee Samurai Build at Level 50:

• Body: 18
• Reflexes: 20
• Technical Ability: 5
• Intelligence: 12
• Cool: 16

Skills & Perks

The perks are the main crux of the Net Melee Samurai Build. Since it’s a melee build, you will need to invest heavily in the Blades Skills of Reflexes Attribute. You can check out all the perk picks in the table above. Some of these perks, like the “Judge, Jury and Executioner” and “Roaring Waters,” are a must-have. 

Next up, players should get some crucial perks in the Ninjutsu Skill of Cool Attribute. Since this build also makes use of knives, you should try getting the Dagger Dealer perk. Additionally, spend some perk points in the Athletics section of Body Attributes, too. Players can also get some crucial Quickhacking perks, such as the Bloodware and Subliminal Message.

Equipment

The Net Samurai Build mainly focuses on Katana-action with throwing knives. Hence, your aim should be to get your hands on a good Katana such as Jinchu-Maru or Satori. On top of that, try acquiring the Blue Fang Knife. As for the Cyberware equipment, you should get anything that enhances your melee aspect and also improves the resistance of your character. Although, for specific picks, you can consult the table above. All in all, the Net Samurai Build is one of the Best in Cyberpunk 2077.

Attributes

Last but not least, Cool Attribute is another important section within the Quickhack build because it will help swift movement while executing hacks in Night City. Here’s the optimal look at the Attribute Allocation at Level 50 for the Quickhack build:

• Body: 8
• Reflexes: 7
• Technical Ability: 11
• Intelligence: 20
• Cool: 20

Skills & Perks

Running a Quickhack Build means you’ll need to focus a lot on the Intelligence Perks. Without them, your build will never reach its optimal level, and you’ll struggle in later stages, especially at the secret ending of Cyberpunk 2077. Hence, it’s important to get some useful perks that will reduce the cooldown, RAM cost, and damage caused by quickhacks.

Equipment

For the Quickhack build, weapons are not the priority. However, you should not completely ignore them either. I loved running the Satori Katana with my Quickhack build; you can also go for pistols and ARs if you feel like it. Other than that, it’s understandable to go for one of the Best Operating Systems in Cyberpunk 2077, since you’ll be needing high RAM and low cooldown.

Attributes

However, keep in mind that this is a balanced build; you will need to keep every attribute in line with each other. So, let’s now look at the attributes and their divisions:

• Body: 16
• Reflexes: 18
• Technical Ability: 9
• Intelligence: 16
• Cool: 12

Skills & Perks

For the Balanced Build, prioritize all essential perks in each Attribute skill tree, tailoring choices to your playstyle. If you’re using katanas, invest in Reflexes; for Handguns, you should skip Blades perks. Emphasize Quickhacking skills for crowd control, adapting perks based on your preferred quick hacks. While some flexibility is allowed, sticking close to the recommended perks ensures optimal performance for this build.

Equipment

The main weapon choice is completely up to the player for the All-around Cyberpunk 2077 Build. Personally, I used Handguns in my build. However, based on your playstyle and perk choices, you can choose any weapon for your loadout. You can even go for a combination of blades with an AR or Handgun.

Not fond of using quickhacks, moonwire, Katanas, or gorilla arms? If so, then you can always resort to the basic combat of Cyberpunk 2077, which includes Guns! The Gunslinger Build in Cyberpunk 2077 is meant for all the players who just want to use the weaponry to take down enemies. It’s one of the most basic yet effective builds, especially for players who do not feel like getting into the nits and grits of the game.

Attributes

On the other hand, players should also bring up their Technical Ability attribute since it will help them get some useful Tech weapon buffs. Apart from these, Body and Cool are the next two priorities that will help increase defense and movement while you blaze through enemy territories in Night City with a Legendary Weapon!

• Body: 11
• Reflexes: 20
• Technical Ability: 20
• Intelligence: 4
• Cool: 16

Skills & Perks

In the Gunslinger Build, your main focus should be on getting the best perks that improve gunplay. Players can find these perks within the Reflexes Attribute tree under the sub-category of “Assault” and “Handguns.” Make sure you get the important perks in each section if you plan to become unstoppable with gun power in Cyberpunk 2077. 

Equipment

When it comes to the equipment section, for the first time, our main focus will be on weapon choice rather than cyberware and quickhacks. Since you’ll be heavily dependent on your guns, make sure you get the best weapons (even the Iconic ones), such as the Divided We Stand, Crash, Nekomata, and many more.

Last but not least, the list of Cyberpunk 2077 Builds won’t be completed without mentioning a Sniper setup. Plenty of players love long-range action, where they can take down enemies from afar without the fear of detection. This becomes even more fun with the Tech Snipers in Cyberpunk, which allow you to shoot through walls and bamboozle enemies. So, let’s check out all the recommendations for the perfect Cyberpunk Sniper Build.

Attributes

For the complete sniper build, players will need to focus on certain attributes right from the beginning. Reflexes Attribute will be your main go-to. It holds some important perks in the “Assault” skill which will help you immensely.

Similarly, players will also need to invest a fair share of attribute points into Technical Ability as well. Through the attribute, you can improve the Tech weapons. Here is a complete look at how your Attribute setup should look for the sniper build:

• Body: 5
• Reflexes: 20
• Technical Ability: 20
• Intelligence: 10
• Cool: 16

Skills & Perks

As I mentioned earlier, the Assault Skills in the Reflexes Attribute tree should be the main focus. Try getting all the perks that enhance Sniper damage and reload speed. Apart from that, the next most important section is the Engineering perks. Here, players can increase tech weapon abilities, which will help you out immensely when you’re using Tech Snipers in Cyberpunk 2077.

To round the skills section off, make sure to invest a few skill points in the Cool Attribute tree. Also, in the Ninjutsu skill, you’ll find an important skill called “Sniper.” With it, your first sniper shot outside of combat will cause 20% increased damage.

Equipment

Similar to the Gunslinger Build, the Sniper Build also focuses on the choice of weapon. Even though there are multiple snipers in Cyberpunk 2077 all belonging to different rarities, your priority should be to get your hands on the best one ASAP. After that, make sure you apply useful Mods to it. Some notable snipers in Cyberpunk 2077 include Nekomata, Widow Maker, and Breakthrough.

As for the Cyberware and Quickhacks, try going for optimal choices rather than going for something wild. You’d want to have a nice and clean setup to rely on while sniping away in Night City.
