Build Tips & Recommendations for Max Reflex and Max Technical Ability

[0V1D]

took a break from my play-through awhile back and just jumped back in with Phantom Liberty. Now that my perk points have been reset, I'm finding myself unsure of how I want to proceed. As the title states, I'm maxed out in both Reflex and Technical Ability and previously I was having a lot of fun with sniper rifles. I distinctly recall investing into crafting perks but those are wiped. Can't remember exactly what else I was up to. Any advice or recommendations on effective and/or fun ways to assign my perk points with maxed out Reflex and Technical Ability?

Tech will get you lots of cyberware stuff now so its pretty much required for a lot of builds

Reflex gets you some gun stuff but you'll want to look at Cool for the rest. Ref is still blades as you've probably figured out.

Int is Int tho they moved all the smart weapon stuff over there. Body is still shotgun/lmg/blunt.

I went BOD, REF, TECH on a Solo build and I was pretty much ironman. Just depends what you like. :)

Thanks for the insight. I decided to reset my attribute points and dumped a ton into the left-hand side of of Cool tree. I'll add more points to other trees as I continue to play and figure out what I want. With Dead-Eye and Nerves of Tungsten-steel I'm not sure how much I'll wind up putting into Reflex, as I think I initially pumped it for increased crit chance. Are tech weapons still OP? Is "bolt" worth investing into?

You might want to max reflex also, for the cyberware boosts. 20 reflex is 2% crit chance on those cyberware pieces.

Bolt is 100% worth it with the Satara and Achilles, not really worth it for anything else, unless you are just dead set on doing a just tech weapon build.

I see. We can max out three trees with points to spare, yeah? I suppose I might want to max out Cool, Reflex, and Tech. Seems like the foundation of a solid build.

If you have the DLC, that is 3 max and one at 18.

Just to expand what I meant with the Cyberware, most of the pieces you WANT to go with your gun builds, will tend to be reflex or cool attuned, the reflex attuned will give crit chance per reflex point, and cool will give headshot damage per cool point.

2% on crit and 4% headshot might not seem like much, but it adds up. When you are done with your "must have" cyberware, if you have capacity left over, you can then get the low capacity pieces that are reflex or cool attuned to stack more of those bonuses on.

That doesnt even include the 3 bonus stats each piece of cyberware gives with the other perk points in the tech tree. That all adds up to cyberware giving you most bang for your buck when it comes to your "build".
