Best CP2077 Builds

[GoobleMoWizard]

I usually don't know what I exactly want to go for in RPG's, so I basically just spread through random skill trees, which most of the time kind of makes a weird built character, so I'm like, all over the place. What build should I go for?

Objectively, the best build is a netrunner. Below that is melee with Sandevistan. Coming up 3rd is shotgun.

Everything is viable, but SMGs and assault rifles, outside specific ones, are generally the weakest.

[GoobleMoWizard]

I really like Assault rifles, but its a shame the Devs nerfed them to all crap, and are focusing more on Netrunner and the others you mentioned. I'd like to be able to build whatever I want, but it just seems you can't, despite what people say. If you don't wanna die a ton, Netrunner, lol! Like, ya feel me? RPG in which the best build is Netrunner, but you can choose other builds, but you'll probably lose to AI a lot.

I did build around SMG, it drops bodies if you use the Smart ones. But if you are lucky, you get one Iconic SMG that will make you really OP. Smart also has a benefit, it locks targets and bullets fly to them, that is why they are low in damage, but you hit harder. Other guns have to compensate the bullets that will miss, so that is why the damage is higher in stats

Let's say it helped me a lot to use a Smart SMG

Is all this in a situation where I have no choice, but to use Shotguns/Snipers? If that's the case, I'll have to reset my attributes, cause Body is 15, and Tech is 16, if I remember correctly. Everything else is at 9 or 10.

[valium]

You will get enough attribute points to get 3 attributes to 20 and one to 18. All builds will want 20 tech, and I personally think all builds on very hard could use 15 body for adrenaline rush.

if you like snipers you can go for netrunner + sniper build, maybe put few points into shotgun perks, but they are powerful on their own. there are a lot of guides on neterunner build in the net.

[DYNIA]

you don't need ANY weapon perk to use any gun here lol, I use tech sniper, tech/power shotgun depons on drops and kyuubi for my netrunner

LOL! That's freaking hilarious!

The rest is just adding more RAM and armour, the most comes from the perks and attributes. The critical is really handy for Smart, doing mostly headshots, and there are cyberware to also let quickhacks do critical damage. I was hoping to find more cyberware shards, but after hours of running Pacifica and other places, the cap was stuck on 240, so Iconics were out of options beside one. And do not forget 'Overclock' perk, and the 'Queue' perk

One more tip: Use 'sonic shock' before a traceable hack, mostly that cancels the tracing

Other fun: Cyberpsychosis, after a sonic shock, on an elite is just fun to watch

Do you like fun?

Gorilla arms with berserk
Throwing knives with sandevistan

Think outside the square, not 'what build is best', rather 'what build do i need to loot this game stupid'. Combat and successfully completing quests simply happens if you specialise in pocketing anything not tied down and corpse robbing.
