'Built For The Streets' Build

[Lumino]

Exactly what it says on the tin. Since HK is infamous for being stingy with money, and has more Cyberware slots than the other games, what would you guys suggest as a good build idea to make getting this achievment practical?

Not doable, practical. I want to still be able to kick some ass while going full 'Glory' on their asses.

Street Samurai, I would think. Almost all cyberware is to aid in straight up fighting. There's a few which give +1 to Intelligence but that could be used to get more into healing, the skills name I cannot recall. You also want to get heavy into the cyberware part of Body.

To get "built for the Streets" you need to fill every available spot with cyberwear. My cybertroll missed it by one slot ... the left leg was still open, but I was down to 1.25 essence at that point.

I could have done it by getting less effective cyberwear in other spots, that would have cost less essence, but I am not that obsessed by amassing achievements. I want the most effective combat build. Too bad cyber affinity doesn't go up to 9; giving me one more essence to work with would have done it. One wonders why they stopped at 7 ranks as the maximum you can get.

I had:
Toxin exhaler
Alpha eyes
Reflex trigger
Cross dermal sheath
Yamatetsu cyberarm
Yamatetsu hand razors (an upgrade from the Ares)
Magnetic arn
Hydraulic Jack Mk1

Thanks for the advice! This was actually a really good starting point.

You could just replace the Yamatetsu cyberarm with the jolt alert; that doesn't cost any essence at all. That would let you stick some lesser cyber in the other leg, as well as giving you protection from things like stun batons. You would lose the extra strength, but for a troll build that isn't a huge drawback. My non-augmented strength is 12. 13 is sort of overkill, anyway.
