Were pistols nerfed?

[Khloros]

Pre 2.0 patch i was using a pistol build with johnnys gun, but post nerf even when taking pistol talent i feel like im missing out on like 300 damage a shot. Am i missing something?

You have to spec your Cyberware for headshots. Getting Tech to 9 and unlocking the middle perk tree and branching right on it will help you spec out.

Ok thats what i did was spec into tech, and cool, so i guess there is just specific implants now that boot my head shot damage?

God what a mess of an update.

Any implant can but as you upgrade them you can choose new bonuses. I just figured out how it works too. So each time you upgrade your cyberware it will roll a new batch of choices. If you don't like them upgrade a piece you already have good stats on and it will roll a new batch. This is how you make crazy builds. I have a character who regens 35 hp whenever a bleeding enemy dies.

Some bonuses are more common then others. Bonus head shot damage is one of the more common.

So basically though if i have a piece of cyber wear, that is not good, like at all, but its max level, im just kinda sol?

No buy a new one and upgrade it. You can only buy them at tier 5. They can be upgraded twice after that. You should have tons of money by the end of the game with nothing to spend it on.

[Khloros]

again then you basically have to buy it, and then hope you roll good? So just spending money to spend money?

Upgrading parts costs no money only components. Each piece will have the same starting set of bonuses. If you find any lower tier cyberware you can use that as a throwaway upgrade to reroll or upgrade it to max. It is easier to start from the beginning if you are going for a specific build, but it's not impossible at high levels to change it up.

[yahboi1988]

I know you're probably not trying to start a new play through but it is what they recommended as 2.0 came out. I personally recommend it because they changed enough stuff that it was almost a new game.

[Khloros]

Oh yeah i was gonna say a LOT is changed now.
Ok so then my understanding is this, i gotta buy a cyberwear item, then upgrade it, and hope it rolls the right stats i want/need. But being at level 48, i assume that all i can buy are high level cyber netics which means i only got like one shot to get the stats i need

2 shots. You can upgrade them from Tier 5 to Tier 5+ and then finally to Tier 5++. If you get the 2 perks I am talking about you should have 3 total options to choose from when you upgrade, 2 new options that are rolled and whatever it already has.

[yahboi1988]

The upgrade path is:
Tier1>Tier1+>Tier2>Tier2+>Tier3>Tier3+>Tier4>Tier4+>Tier5>Tier5+>Tier5++

Starting at 3 with those perks you start getting 3 total options.

Bonus Crit DMG and chance will also help with pistols like the Malrorian
