This post will cover Best Builds in Cyberpunk 2077. This is a very popular question as the games give you hundreds of options to customize the character. For some people, this can be overwhelming and I am here to help. I will shortly go through recommended perks, attributes, and equipment.

All the builds that have been made can be found on this page for Cyberpunk 2077

As this is an overview, detailed guides can be found with the provided links in each section. Let's Start!

Best Cyberpunk Builds

The builds mentioned here are very powerful. Of course, as you start the game this will not be true. It will take some time to get the required perks and weapons. However, as you progress through the game and learn the game mechanics these builds start to shine.

Sandevistan Build

This is a very popular build after the 1.6 patch release together with the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime. It is inspired by the main character of the show David Martinez. The build relies on Cyberware called Sandevistan. It allows slowing time, but the wearer can move at normal speed.

When using it, enemies are very slow and you can easily take them out when encountered. This works well with both ranged and melee weapons.

Attributes

Here is the attribute allocation that I recommend

sandevistan build attribute points cyberpunk 2077

Level	Reflex	Body	Tech	Cool	Int
10	11	8	6	3	3
30	18	15	12	3	3
50	18	15	18	3	3

This leaves you with free attributes to choose your preferred weapon. So maximize the preferred attribute to 20 based on the weapon you like to use:

Blades, Katana, Mantis Blade - Reflexes
Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Pistols, Revolvers - Reflexes
Blunt Weapons, Gorilla Arms, Shotguns - Body

Perks

The core of the build does not need many perks.

Technical Ability

The perks below are mandatory for the Sandevistan build. All the other ones are optional and provide some quality-of-life improvements.

Netrunner Build

This is the most iconic build that you can make in Cyberpunk 2077. The whole game revolves around hacking, controlling the networks, etc.

The build is perfect for those that enjoy distant combat and rarely engage in direct combat. I think Netrunner build is the most powerful option that you can go with.

Of course, what makes this build fun is that you can use quickhacks as distractions. They can also take care of enemy groups while you run to take care of other enemies. Here is more direct approach that is possible with netrunners:

Attributes

Here is the attribute progression that I recommend for the build

Level	Reflex	Body	Tech	Cool	Int
10	3	3	6	5	9
30	3	12	12	8	16
50	3	16	18	14	20

The main concentration is Intelligence, which improves quickhacking and unlocks new perks. We also put points into Body, Tech, and Cool. All of these will complement the build and allow it to be very effective with Tech Weapons.

Here are recommended Cyberdeck options for the Netrunner build. These are the most important items for the build, so be sure to always get the best one

Priority	Item	Description
1	Tetratronic Rippler Mk.4	This is my preferred Cyberdeck. Because I like using Cyberphycosis and Suicide, I get a bonus spread from Tetratronic Rippler.

3	Stephenson Tech Mk.4	Reduces quickhack cooldowns by 45% and provides some other bonuses.
4	Biotech Σ Mk.3	Increases damage to health with quickhacks.
5	Stephenson Tech Mk.3	Reduces quickhacks cooldown times.

Item	Description
Cyberpsychosis	This is a very important perk that the build relies on. It allows creating havoc among groups of enemies.
Ping	It is a mandatory quickhack that reveals all enemies that are connected to the network. This will allow you to see all enemies through the walls and plan your encounter.
Contagion	Powerful combat quickhack that deals chemical damage over time. Moreover, it spreads to nearby targets making it very deadly against a group of enemies.
Short Circuit	A very powerful quickhack that deals electrical damage. It is very effective against robots, drones, mechs, etc.
Overheat	Deals burning damage, very effective against human targets.
Suicide	I love this one, this ensures that the enemy which you target kills itself.

Samurai Katana build

This is a build for the iconic Cyberpunk weapon - Katana. It relies on tearing enemies apart in short range. The build is deadly and once you obtain good weapon enemies can be killed with single hits.

For detailed progression, gear, perks, and tactics check the full Samurai Katana build post

The build goes full in on this melee weapon. Of course, at the start of the game, it may be very difficult to fight enemies as you have low hp and need to reach enemies before they tear you apart with bullets.

Attributes

Level	Reflex	Body	Tech	Cool	Int
10	12	6	3	7	3
30	18	11	3	16	3
50	20	20	3	20	8

Reflexes - You want to get at least 12 fairly early in the game, this will unlock a very good Sandevistan. Reflexes also will ensure that Katana build can mitigate damage, have a high critical chance, and damage
Cool - it will give you critical damage bonuses and importantly allow you to improve the Cold Blood perk tree.
Body - this one is used to maximize the Katana build survivability. There will be many cases where you will be in open combat and you need to be able to soak up a decent amount of damage. Moreover, it is used to equip Berserk if you plan to use this cyberware.

Perks

This section will cover what core perks you should take with the build.

Cool Blood

Samurai katana build cold blood tree Cyberpunk 2077

Level	Skill	Description
1	Cold Blood x3	This is a very important buff for almost any stat in the game. Although at first, it provides only faster movement speed, as you progress it will provide other benefits. I suggest upgrading this ability every 5 levels and not but all 3 points at the start o the game

9	Defensive Clotting x2	Increases Armor by 8% per stack of Cold Blood.
12	Predator x2 (optional)	Increase attack speed by 30% per stack of Cold Blood. Although this ability sounds amazing, the game has a cap on attack speed. So save and check if you really have increased attack speed

Equipment

Katanas

Priority	Item	Description
1	Jinchu-Maru	Has many positive effects: 100% Crit chance during Kerenzikov, Double damage for the last combo attack, etc.
2	Byakko	Introduced after the 1.5 patch. Has the unique ability to lunge into enemies from a medium distance when attacking. This makes fighting enemies with ranged weapons much easier for Samurai Katan builds.
3	Satori	What makes it unique is that it can deal massive amounts of Critical damage. Due to this, I suggest taking any perk or modification that improves Crit Chance.
4	Katana	Base katana version. Try to obtain the legendary rarity as early as possible.

Operating System

I recommend Sandevistan. You lose the ability to use quickhacks, however, you can now slow time and this greatly helps in melee. During the fights, you can get to enemies using the shortest path, while avoiding the bullets

Do not forget to include mods, as they increase the chance until enemies detect you or you can gain hp when killing them.

Priority	Item	Description
1	Militech "Falcon" Sandevistan Mk.5	Provides 20 Crit Chance and 35% Crit Damage while Sandevistan is active. The effect lasts 18 seconds. Enough for most of the encounters.
2	QianT Sandevistan Mk.4	Gives a 15% critical chance and a 15% damage dealt increase while Sandevistan is active.
3	Dynalar Sandevistan Mk.4	Increases damage and Crit Chance by 15%. Has a 30-second cooldown.
4	Dynalar Sandevistan Mk.3	I recommend getting the Epic version early as possible as it will greatly improve your gameplay.

Gunslinger Build

This build concentrates on one thing - being effective and making large numbers using ranged weapons. Unfortunately, the build does not have any gimmicks and mostly relies on the user's ability to do precise shots.

For detailed progression, gear, perks, and tactics check the full Gunslinger build post

Of course, this is greatly supported by the wielder's skill and how well one can land headshots. So be sure to practice. Once you will obtain Sandevistan you can slow time and better control the encounters.

Gunslinger build is for those Cyberpunk 2077 that love guns.

Attributes

The main attribute of the build is Reflexes. It provides perks for all the weapons that this build will use.

10	10	6	6	6	3
30	15	11	14	8	3
50	20	12	20	16	3

The two main attributes are Reflexes and Technical Ability. The first one directly improves weapon handling and unlocks weapon perks. It will make your weapon overall stronger. Technical Ability allows unlocking crafting and Tech weapon improvements.

Cool is another important attribute that improves the Cold Blood perk tree, which increases the offensive capabilities of the build

Comrade's Hammer	A hand cannon. It has single shot in a clip, but can be charged and the bullet explodes

Sniper Rifles and Precision Rifles
