What are the best builds in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0?

If there is one thing that will quickly jump out at you among the changes made by Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0, it is surely the new skill trees. If they keep the same skeleton at first glance, the content has been completely revised and offers several brand new ways to play. Let’s review together how the skill system works in Cyberpunk 2077.

Every time you level up in Cyberpunk 2077, you will earn a point d’attribut and one point of advantage. You will therefore be able to both improve the level of an attribute and unlock an advantage associated with it. The game’s skill tree is therefore divided into five different branches, all hidden behind an attribute:

Constitution : health upgrades, shotgun, melee and heavy weapon combat, nag playstyleReflexes: improvements to Assault Rifle, SMG, and Blades critical chance, mobility, and combatTechnical capacity : upgrades to armor, cybernetic implants, explosives and technical weaponsIntelligence : RAM upgrades, quick hacks and smart weaponsCold blood : improvements to critical damage, pistol and sniper rifle combat, stealth playstyle, and knife throwing

The first thing to do before allocating your points is to determine what style of play you want to use throughout your adventure. Indeed, if it is entirely possible to reset your advantage points, this is not the case for attribute points (you will still have the possibility of doing it only once if you choose to resume an old character from before update 2.0).

If you know that you will be rather naughty, there is no need to spend points on Composure and Intelligence. If you know you’ll only want to use a few cybernetic implants, skip Technical Ability, etc. For information, note that the maximum level is 50 (60 with the Phantom Liberty expansion) and that each attribute has a maximum level of 20. Knowing that each attribute automatically starts at level 3, this means that you can climb up to three different branches maximum. To help you build your character in advance, we highly recommend spending some time on the build scheduler available at this address.

Finally, be aware that while it is only possible to gain attribute points by increasing levels, you will have other opportunities to gain advantage points. So don’t hesitate to spend these even on slightly minor improvements, in any case you can always remove them for free if necessary. Also note that if this was not necessarily the case in the original game, Update 2.0 made all playstyles absolutely formidable. Whether you prefer to make a samurai who fights with a sword, a brute who takes care of everything with a shotgun, or a NetRunner who doesn’t get his hands dirty, you’ll have plenty to make your dreams come true in the new skill tree. To make an effective build, we advise you to focus on your main fighting style and then enhance it with additional advantages. For example, if you want to make a stealth character, start by choosing whether you prefer to use quick hacks, guns/snipers or knives and upgrade the associated branches accordingly. You can then improve your crouching speed or your RAM capacity, etc.

For example, I personally chose to make a build that was both tough, resistant and fast and I found myself killing almost all of my opponents with one shotgun shot, which I managed to dislodge easily thanks to my impressive mobility. If this style interests you, you can find my build by clicking on this link or by looking at the screens below. You will notice that there are still a few advantage points to spend and that you can therefore improve it as you wish.

Don’t underestimate cybernetic implants

THE cybernetic implants are another feature that changed drastically with the 2.0 update. If they were largely dispensable in the original game, they are now completely part of your experience and can completely change the way you play. The first thing to know regarding these new cybernetic implants is that they will now be your first source of armor. Where previously you had to equip yourself well in terms of your clothing to have a high armor statistic, you will now especially have to pay attention to your implants, and more particularly to those located on your skeleton or your integumentary system.

Be careful though, you won’t be able to stuff yourself with implants as easily as before. Indeed, in addition to costing you money to purchase from the charcudoc, each implant added will raise a cyber-capacity gauge visible on the left of the dedicated screen. At the start of the game, you will quickly notice that this gauge will be filled very quickly, and that you will therefore have to make choices in the implants that you want to use. If you want to make a tough character, we advise you to focus on the armor provided by the skeleton and integumentary system implants. If you choose to play a NetRunner, pay special attention to the frontal cortex implants and your operating system.

Of course, it is possible to increase the maximum cyber capacity load in several ways. The simplest is simply to level up since each level up will automatically improve your cyber ability. But be aware that you can also sometimes pick up bursts of cyber capability in chests or on the bodies of your enemies. Each of these will be automatically used and increase your maximum charge by two points. Finally, if you really want to take maximum advantage of cybernetic implants and become a true Edgerunner, we strongly advise you to invest several advantage points in the middle tree of the “Technical capacity” branch. Note also that, like weapons, cybernetic implants can be improved to increase their statistics. If you have difficulty raising enough money to change implants, you can go through this solution but you will still have to visit a charcudoc to do so.

A good mercenary knows how to do everything

We just told you that if you want to have an effective build, you will have to think regarding your play style in advance. However, while we don’t necessarily advise you to spread out your distribution of attribute points and advantages and take it one tree at a time, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try other styles. game that you have chosen to leave aside. Indeed, certain missions will offer you more rewards if you complete them stealthily for example, and others will necessarily ask you to fight in the open once morest one or more enemies.

We therefore advise you to always have in your inventory something to respond to each situation, even if it is not your specialty. Additionally, in addition to your overall level and reputation, the way you play will also cause you to fill gauges called “Skill progression”. Each of them has a maximum level of 60 and will offer you very interesting passive advantages every 5 levels, including 2 advantage points per gauge unlocked at levels 15 and 35 respectively. If the gauges corresponding to your main playing style will fill up on their own, don’t hesitate to break away from your habits a little to raise the others and thus unlock some very interesting advantages. To help you, here is how to increase each of the skill progressions:

Head hunter : eliminate opponents by shooting them in the head or stealthily neutralizing them from behindNetRunner: perform quick hacks and connect to devicesShinobi : use charge (unlocked in the middle tree of the reflexes category) or fight with bladesSolo : fight in close combat or with shotgunsEngineer : dismantle, craft or upgrade items

Even in 2077, recycling is important

If you played Cyberpunk 2077 before the 2.0 update, you probably railed once morest the game’s recycling and crafting system. Rest assured, everything has changed with this rebirth and everything is now much more accessible whatever your style. game. Indeed, while you had to spend advantage points to be able to create or improve high-level weapons before 2.0, it is now possible to improve all your equipment to the maximum without sacrificing your precious points. In fact, there remains only one interesting advantage regarding crafting in the entire talent tree: the one which allows you to recover 25% more manufacturing components per dismantled item, available in the middle branch of the “Technical capacity” tree.

Fact, We strongly advise you to take a close look at the crafting and improvement system of Cyberpunk 2077. Indeed, it is thanks to the latter that you will be able to keep any weapon or cybernetic implant that you particularly like throughout the game without being caught up by the increasing difficulty of the enemies. To be able to improve your equipment, however, you will need a lot of componentsand this is where the recycling join the game.

Unlike cybernetic implants which necessarily require a stay with the charcudoc to improve or add anything, crafting can be done absolutely anywhere and at any time. We therefore simply advise you to pick up EVERYTHING you find as you adventure and recycle any weapons and items that don’t interest you. Note also that the loot has been revised in the update and that you should find much fewer useless objects such as card packs or other burgers which regenerate 2 poor life points.

Thanks to all this recycling, you should have more than enough components to upgrade your weapons and implants during your adventure. Remember that you can always create better components from lower level parts, and the loot will scale with your character level. So if you just want to upgrade to purple or orange equipment but are having trouble collecting corresponding parts, be patient, you will end up looting a lot of purple and orange weapons over time. Thanks to this new system, you will finally be able to use your favorite iconic weapons throughout the game!

Start from scratch

Finally, if there is one piece of advice that we suggest you follow during this 2.0 update, it is to start from scratch. Of course, you can still use your old character and reset all of their attributes and perks by loading your game. But if you haven’t touched the game since its release in 2020, you risk being totally lost and not knowing what to do.

In addition, as we told you in the parts dedicated to builds and cybernetic implants, the skill tree and the options of the charcudoc have changed so much that it would be criminal not to try a new type of approach on Cyberpunk 2077 . Start from scratch, treat yourself and rediscover the game from a different angle, you will become even more aware of everything that has changed in the CD Projekt game since its release.

Finally, if you are mainly waiting for the arrival of DLC Phantom Liberty, please note that the latter takes place during the main quest and not at the end of the latter. If you will still need to advance a little in the story to access it, it will not be necessary to rush the whole game to discover this new adventure. Please note that it will also be possible to create a character who will be able to directly access the DLC when it is released. If you decide to make a new character for 2.0 but aren’t convinced by your build, you can always make another one at that time without really losing your overall progress.

You now know everything you need to know to take advantage of the new features of Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0. Have fun in Night City and see you in a few days for the arrival of Phantom Liberty!
