Hello everyone, I just started the game, I am looking for lives, I did the first main mission, I am starting, I want to use katanas and short weapons, or pistols, I need advice, what missions give me more money to do, and what stats do I need to raise to use this build, thank you very much

For Katana its Reflex
For pistol its Cool

I don't know what you mean by ''short'' weapon.

Body = Shotguns, LMG, Health regen, Blunt weapons
Reflex = Assault Rifles, SMG, Movement, Blade weapons
Tech = Grenades, Healing, Cyberwares, Tech weapons
INT = Quickhacks, Smart weapons
Cool = Pistol, Sniper Rifle, Precision Rifle, Stealth, Throwable weapons

For money, kill gang members and sell their weapons.

i guess he means Knives as "short weapon".
Look into your Skill-Tree Overview and check what the individual Skill-trees improve. Then pick the one you like. The Skill-Trees have 2 different systems. Attribute points raise the general level of the tree (blue points). The yellow points are for unlocking skills within the tree.
In the bottom right, you find a "passive" skill tree, that give additional benefits for doing certain stuff.

For money..... play the Game, sell the items/weapons that you dont want/need. Higher versions of Weapons obviously sell better.

Thanks for answering friend!, short weapons I mean pistols, maybe sawed off (shotguns), katanas and there are some weapons that are like big claws, that's what I'm talking about

For pistols you'd want the Cool Tree, with the options on the far left.
For Knives you'd also want the Cool Tree, with the options on the far right.
Katanas and the "big claws" by which I'm pretty sure you mean the Mantis Blades (see link) you'd want the Reflex Tree, with the options working for both on the right. Mostly. The ones up the middle of Reflex can help get you into (or out of) melee faster.

Shotguns are located in the Body Tree, with their options on the left. Though they can still work without help from skills so long as you get close enough .
And you'd already be running about with Pistols, knives and a katana with only slots for three active weapons at a time (arm chrome like the mantis blades don't take up a weapon slot).

There are several different Weapons for each category AND there are also different Versions (power, smart, tech) that respond to unlocked Skills. On top, there are also different effects like bleeding, burning, shock,...
I can think of ONE downside beside the time consuming search for your personal favorite Weapon. Many Weapons either have installed Mods (for example a mod for Shotguns that enhance its ability to remove limbs) or an empty slot for such Mods. Sadly, the Developer removed the ability to change these Mods. Installed Mods can NOT be removed.
So be careful what you install yourself or look for a so Weapon blueprints. With these, you can craft a new, Mod-free weapon.

The Game gives you alot of options to build your Character and how to neutralise Targets :D
Some neat Weapons (or special clothes and Cars) are not part of the Mainstory. They can be found in Sidequests or by exploring the Map. Even with Mainstory Quest, the curios Player can sometimes find unique Weapons.
Im sure you will find something :D The good old double barrel shotgun is also in the Game ;)

Thanks to both of you for your comments, I started playing it on PlayStation 5, I advanced a little, I did three or four missions and there was so much that could be done, I was overwhelmed, and I didn't play it again until now that I have a decent PC and I did it. buy at a discount with the dlc, the game is full of things, options, weapons, it's really overwhelming that's why I was looking for advice to get started, thanks again

[Best_Killer_Ever]

yes, it was the mantis, thanks! I want to get that weapon and create a build around it with the use of short weapons as I told you earlier in my post, I'm going to try to get it, but it will surely take time, since I'm just starting, I'll ask again here if I have any questions

Arm options unlock at the ripperdocs at level 10, so depending on where you are in the game you likely have time.
