Best Builds Post - 2.0

Solo

Solos are one of the main archetypes in the game. Known for being self-sufficient combatants, they seek to overwhelm their enemies through confrontation and overwhelming force.

Once a solo enters the room, you better start praying you're on their good side.

Gunslinger

Gunslingers use pistols and revolvers, which proves that size doesn't matter when it gets the job done. Choosing perks and cyberware that increase the damage of small weapons is integral to this build.

Their play style mainly revolves (pun intended) on accurately hitting headshots and precise gameplay. Cyberware that can slow down time (Sandevistan & Kerenzikov) allows the player to precisely shoot heads with ease, bringing the Wild West back to Night City.

Operator

Operators work by dismantling the opposition with their sheer tactical brilliance. When combined with plenty of experience in FPS games, you may as well call this the John Wick build in Cyberpunk 2077

Armed with various weapons and a wide array of tools at their disposal, those unlucky enough to stand in their way were met with little resistance, and a lot of calculated gunfire.

Heavy

Heavies seek to overwhelm enemies with immense firepower. Using LMGs and various other heavy weaponry, they are a force to be reckoned with once they step foot in enemy territory. There's nothing like ripping a turret from its base with your bare hands and using it against your enemies.

What these solos lack in precision, they make up for it by raining down a hail of bullets in the general direction of their enemy. You can't miss them if you shoot every place they could be.

Engineer

Engineers use their intellectual and cybernetic prowess to make up for what they lack in tactical skills. They also have a penchant for destruction, so perks and cyberware that increase the performance of explosions are key to finding success with this build.

Armed with a variety of grenades and explosives, these solos leave a trail of blood in their wake, along with guts, bone fragments, and tons of shrapnel.

Brawler

Brawlers are physically talented solos who value simplicity in their line of work. They are tough and resilient fighters who do not back down from trouble, especially because they're confident in their enhanced strength and power.

They stick to tradition and choose to work the old-fashioned way: by cracking skulls open with their fists and whatever they can get their hands on.

Health and Stamina are Important

When playing as a Solo, having a large pool of health and stamina is essential. Solos need to be tough and resilient, as they don't shy away from head-on combat.

Balance Attack and Defense

Defense is also important, as it enables you to survive brutal fights and shootouts. Consider adding defensive perks and cyberware if you plan to play as a Solo.

Netrunner

The Netrunner archetype is one that focuses on hacking and using various technology to their advantage. They employ quickhacks that takeover enemy cyberware, and disable or kill them in the process.

Where Solos find success with their brawn, Netrunners use their cybernetically enhanced brains.

Pure Netrunner

Pure Netrunners can basically become the gods of the digital age. They can gain absolute control over an opponent's cyberware, as well as hijack various pieces of technology all over Night City. By focusing on skills and cyberware that improve quickhacks and increase RAM, you can take over entire hideouts with ease.

This netrunner doesn't need weapons to kill you; access to the Net is enough.

Blade Runner

Blade Runners are stealthy netrunners who are also well-versed with guns and blades. This build is for those who want to create a well-balanced build and utilize all the combat features of Cyberpunk 2077.

Whether using conventional weapons or uploading quickhacks, it makes no difference to them as long as they get the job done.

Use Quickhacks to Your Advantage

Quickhacks are one of the easiest and deadliest ways to take down hordes of enemies. Not only can you incapacitate opponents, but you can also use a variety of quickhacks for various purposes like creating distractions or hijacking tech.

Assassin

The Assassin archetype is one that works behind the shadows and can eliminate enemies even before they realize what hit them. They value stealth and the element of surprise in their line of work.

If someone wants to get the job done and get it done without raising an alarm, the Assassin is their best bet.

Sniper

Snipers are expert marksmen who use their skills to take out enemies from far away. Distance is a deadly weapon in their arsenal, especially when they have access to the most powerful sniper rifles Night City has to offer.

Snipers are a great example of sometimes, the best defense is an amazingly destructive long-ranged offense. Besides, how can they fight back when there's already a hole in their skull?

Cyberninja

The Cyberninja is strength and skill personified, and contained in a cybernetically-enhanced body that is designed for one purpose: Kill. They use traditional weaponry such as katanas and throwing knives, making those unfortunate enough to cross paths with a Cyberninja die gruesome deaths by a hail of blades and deflected bullets.

This build is for those who want to infiltrate and eliminate, all while looking extremely stylish while doing so. Cyberninjas bring back tradition and use their blades to carve their path in the history of Night City.

Remain in the Shadows

These builds rely on stealth. Use cyberware like Optical Camo to your advantage, as well as the build's speed, to quietly take enemies down one by one.

Cyberpunk 2077 has no Class System

There is no class system in Cyberpunk 2077, so players have the freedom to create their own using the revamped perk system. Use this freedom to create unique builds that fit the way you play the game.
