cool guns or cyber-wizard as a backup to a melee build?
uninstall wizard

>>725967359>>725967538>replying to his own postEmbarrassing.
>>725967169Super speed weeaboo samurai for me.
>>725967169sandevistan katana build is the deadlies and the most fun
>>725967853>>725967870I have more points then the entire reflex/body melee trees + tech tree though, so I may as well spend em on something
>>725967169I started with ARs/SMG but they're shit and I switched to power handgun/sniper rifle/shotgun, so mainly cool weapons, they're strong and fun to use.Shotgun is good against melee attackers and guys that can dodge single bullets.
>>725967735 Lmao exactly, dude got caught double-fisting his own posts like anyone was convinced. Probably thought he'd stroll in, drop a "uninstall wizard" and get crowned king of /v/. Sit down.
>>725968510Just cripple their movent and hit them with a sniper rifle at point blank.
>>725967870Playing the game for the first time and Katana build is so silly, but I've been having fun with it.
>>725967169cool guns (revolvers) + >>725967853>>725967870cyber arms for when you feel like punching/get the cyberware stat reroll perk and reroll a bunch of body parts to add +melee damage, so it feels like the cyber arms increase your sword damage like they should
>>725967169Katana + sandevistan makes the game actually fun for a playthrough so you should always do that, gunplay just isn't as good and hacking is the most boring shit imaginable.
>>725967169First run was cyber wizard with a baseball bat, super fun. Current run is exclusively crafted/legendary snipers, pistols, and throwing knives, also super fun. Follow your heart choom
>>725968872Is it worth getting cyber arms only for body stat checks? At my level I can only pass technical ability checks because I almost maxed it out
>>725968510I stacked all the slowmo items auto heals and recoil reduction with the problem solver smg and it kills everything so fast, only issue is having to craft ammo between significant fights because you can use all 1000 rounds in a long fight and it's hard to tell how much hp you really have left since you effectively have 5~ healthbars
>>725968981Second build also has the implant that slows down everything but you, so doing that then putting knives and bullets in heads before anyone can raise a weapon never gets old.
>>725968510ARs are actually strong as shit at the end of the game, mainly thanks to Salt the Wound but yeah they start off pretty meh.
>>725968872>>725969042it seems like it wouldn't make sense but gorilla arms actually works really well on a katana build because the donkey kong banana slamma move (and prereq shoulder tackle) is a big group stun/knockdown that is enhanced by the reflex tree's enhanced mobility, it prevents you from getting shot in the ass while you're chopping someone up when your sandy is down and avoids you having to do an extremely lame game of slowly bouncing bullets back at everyone until they start falling over, at least on very hard where you can't just facetank everything
>try to customize my guy>never stops looking like a tweaky crackhead>try caring about my background>dont care>try using guns>boring and clunky>try using melee>boring and clunky>most of the game is driving>too much punk and not enough cyber, setting feels lame and unserious>entire time i have to listen to the douchebag MC talk>cant romance misty, which would be the one genuinely interesting romance option because of the situationive tried to get into this game on like 6 difference occasions and it just does not click, ever. the music is solid, though.
>>725969429tried not getting raped by a pack of niggers yet?
>bad combat>bad gameplay>bad art style>bad graphics>bad soundtrack>bad driving>bad world buildingWhy do people like this shit again?
>>725969429>fucking your best friends childhood friend when there's a tomboy trad nomad chick that wants to back you up with a sniper right theresounds extremely fucking gay imho
>>725969516>someone has legitimate criticisms>anon instantly thinks of nigger dickAmericans, everyone.
>>725969534any game where you can airdash around while blocking bullets with a sword, leap out of a motorcycle and pop heads with a revolver in slowmo, and throw a man into another man so hard they both die is automatically a low 8/10 no matter how shitty the rest of the game issame reason prototype 1 is a classic
>>725967169I always say I’m going to play a different way at first but I always find my way back to Widowmaker and 20 points into technical. Spread out the rest of the points semi evenly and max out your cyberware and you’re an unkillable god with a rifle that shoots lightning and bullets at light speed.
>>725969614I'm an evil polish white nigger, actually.
>>725969628okay so you're a zoomer with fried dopamine receptors
>>725969516>cp2077 fans cant think of anything except black dickmakes perfect sense. >>725969551the fact that she is your best friends ex is exactly what makes the dynamic of it interesting. image straining your relationship with jackies family like that because youre trauma bonding/trauma boning his girlfriend. oh nooooo an interesting dynamic between characters rather than a simp queen???
>>725969407the stun effect some blunt moves have lets you takedown people mid combat too, makes the cyberpsycho quests very easy
>>725969429Just play as a femV with a handgun, you'll thank me later.
>>725969534>bad drivingstop using keyboard. stop flooring the gas like its mario kart
>>725967735>>725968639Seething tranny
>>725968510SMGs would be nice if it weren't for the ammo limits. I don't mind reloading, but going into the crafting menu after every fight to make more bullets is really tedious. tbqh if I ever find an unlimited ammo (not bottomless clip) mod I'll probably start using that.
>>725969865It doesn't matter anyway the driving barely matter
>>725969817possibly a good option for most but i really dont like playing as women it ruins muh immersion. i think i prefer more of the altered carbon or blade runner cyberpunk aesthetic rather than people being like AYO CHOOM LETS ZHOOMP THESE ZIXED GROONERZ.but thats a me problem.
>>725969632>widow makertbqh I always find it pretty mediocre, now breakthrough on the other hand, that's a gun
>>725969865Why in the fuck would you even use cars in this game? Double jump plus dash is legitimately faster.
>>725970052>putting points in reflex
>>725970052I think this was added later on, but yeah I played through the game a year ago and didnt drive at all, I simply jumped
Cyberpunk could really have done with more enemy variety, 95% of the enemies being dudes with guns is just sad. I was hoping we'd see more like the personal mechs towards the end. At least they should have had more heavily cybered guys like adam smasher lites
>>725969698>STOP HAVING FUN GOD DAMMITthere's the /v/ we all know and love
>>725970160Reflex has some of the best perks in the fucking game, are you mental? Playing without Airdashing is insanity, especially if you are going Melee.
>>725969890We don't sign our posts here.
Personally I always felt the game rewarded you pretty well for Generalist Builds and hyper specialization got shat on particularly in the early game, even though it offers a very strong midgame. Hacking OS, Pistol, Shotgon, SMG, + Melee arm implant of choice and actively try to use everything based on the situation. While the weapon perks are good they don't really ramp up until later in the game, meanwhile all the center line perks lower down are great. Plus most capstones are mediocre compared to the Level 15 ones.Really wish the other Assault Rifles were half as Good as Hercules.
>>725970032nah you're right- it's an inferior writers' attempt at aping William Gibson's cyberpunk slang and it's immediately annoying
>>725967169>get an enemy overhaul mod>it's the only one that makes bosses better so i love it>it also gives 20% of enemies a sandy and morenigger
>>725967169melee mage is the best combo. neither of them competes for dps and the quickhack slow down is useful for applying hacks while moving towards an enemy.any other combo ends up with conflicting dps. gun mage is awful, you'll inevitably start killing enemies before their quickhacks even activate and in the time it takes to apply them, you could just reload and mag dump them.net runner is good for melee and stealth.
>>725971840what about gun melee though?
>>725971147>wasting points in a tree that's only giving you mobilityUnless you're doing a melee build where you actually need to close the gap to enemies quickly, or are using ARs/SMGs (but why would you do that? they suck), reflex is a waste.
>>725971840If you have a netrunner build you don't really need anything else anyways, maybe a gun for backup to deal with bosses that have massive health bars but that's about it. Netrunner synergizes best with shotguns/LMGs anyways since you always want body for overclock.
>>725973610Do you not read? Reflex skills give enemies higher chance to miss the faster you move and whenever you perform movement skills on top of guaranteed mitigation whenever you dash. Plus all it's base skills make the gunplay feel way better.
Since when did this pile or garbage get build crafting lmao
>>725969042sure, but I'd say they're worth it just for being the only body part you can really turn into cyborg parts
>>725967169I slept on the arm rocket launcher but I finally did a build with it + shotguns and it was fucking insane
>>725969042If you're not maxed on strength, yes, and it's pretty much just objectively the best one for it's role. Mantis is outclassed by Katanas and Knives, Hackers have way more effective tools than Monowire, the PLS is dogshit unless you maxed out tech and even then it's very situational.
>>725973945>Do you not read?Do you? If you're not using a melee build you're not going to be running around spazzing out moving as fast as you can, you're going to be using cover so enemies just flat out CAN'T shoot you.
>>725972657doesn't work, it's faster to just run into someone's face and mag dump them than it is to swap to melee.>>725973754yeah you don't really need anything but i like going melee hoping it's any challenge.
>>725974287Of course you are because you're going to be moving out of cover and repositioning to give yourself an advantage. And with Reflex you don't need cover because you have guaranteed mitigation during and for a few seconds after dashing.
>>725967169Guns would be the most natural. Blunt already has the stat allocation for the shotgun tree and blade has smg/ar. Hacking requires investing into Int+cyberdeck and melee usually wants to go with one of the other OSes.
>>725974287when you poke out of cover to shoot enemies on very hard can hit you from literally 2 miles away with pinpoint accuracy, playing it like gears doesn't work and you're better off moving around or slowing time
>>725975831>Hacking requires investing into Int+cyberdeckOnly for raw damage. Even if I'm not specced into Int I almost always still use Cyberdecks over the other Operating Systems just for the convenience. Sandie and Berserk are only really great for mellee weapons, and in late game they're so strong they're almost boring.
>>725970032>i think i prefer more of the altered carbon or blade runner cyberpunk aestheticThe city turns into blade runner as soon as you cross the bridge into the corpo district, especially on smog days
>>725976157Not to mentioned the synergy with body's core skills that ramp up your health regen if you do happen to get hit when running around and grant you immunity to stuff like cripple movement if you have Adrenaline.
>>725967169I've played Cyberpunk from start to finish about 5-6 times times now with different builds for each. Playing a tech/cool/int build with power snipers is the most overpowered, hands down. You can clear out entire buildings by just camping in one room, using ping, then shooting everyone through the walls.
ive been having fun with a stealth smg build, especially using the buzzsaw smg that can shoot through walls and objects, silencer with the stealth damage modifier, pop the sandy and just get a nice burst from range at their head and pick niggas off with it, so fun and with the damage multiplier from the sandy and headshot you drop so many dudes in so little time
Automatic shotgun + this pistol
I don't see a point in builds in a game where>The enemies aren't numerous >The enemies don't get particularly more difficult >The enemies don't have any resistances or immunities to damage of note >The enemies are super dumb and trivial to kill there's no interesting mechanics to killing in this game but retards try to make their own fun in absence of designed fun
>>725980950>playing on easy mode>complaining about game being trivial
>>725967169knives
>>725967169cyber wizard is kind of boring
>>725967735>>725968639>Make a post on 4chinz>Go take a napperino>Come back to see my epic post gets accused of samefaggeryI didn't joke steal just to be called a samefag c'mon guys.
>>725983452Gay.
>>725983639Is that your first name or your last name?
>>725967359Aqua made that joke first
>>725967169Without spoiling too much is it possible to play this as an anti-transhumanist using as little chrome as possible?
>>725985539you're required to have an eye implant and stuff that lets you shove computer chips into your brain but otherwise you can if you're willing to essentially play an rpg without any armor
Does lethality ever matter in this game?
>>725986178There’s a quest chain of minibosses where you get slightly better rewards if you do a non-lethal takedown. Otherwise no.
>>725983720It's you Dad's name after I fucked him gay.
>>725986178Cyberpsychos. The rest who cares.
>>725986510Oh and a quest where the givers specifically asks you not to kill anyone. But I think that just modifies some dialogue at the end. Basically any consequences will limited just to any given quest and it will tell you up front. There’s no global “murderousness” rating or anything.
>>725969429Agreed. I hate the characters and the game just isn't fun enough to forgive them. The map is pretty cool though.
>>725971645William Gibson's book was always annoying. I loved it when I read it the first time like 20 years ago or whatever, but I tried to read it again and realized everything I liked about it was just imagining the world. I don't give a single fuck about any of the characters they're terribly written.
>>725967169I don't know how you get through the early parts of the game without using guns at least a few times. Later on I could do things completely with my brain but those quickhacks and cyberware don't come cheap
>>725967169Doesnt really matter. No matter what you do the combat turns into "spam grenades while running backwards" and "just leave the combat zone and wait 10sec for them to all de-agro if things get too spicy".
>>725969429Yeah the romance options are pretty shit, when you compare it to like Skyrim which had like 40 characters you could marry. In Cyberpunk you have>a gay mexican>a gay mexican>a GILF>a mexican MILF with an ass thats too big and a cunty attitude>a mexican lesbo you cant romance without mods who's also got a cunty attitude sometimesYou'd think in a fucking CYBERPUNK game there'd be some sort of selection of white girls, asian girls and in the modern day even 1 black chick to pander to the 1 or 2 Argonian enjoyers, but no. Like its Cyberpunk. Half the game/setting is in Japanese, at least put some bright neon miniskirt Japanese slut in there for us to bang.
>>725988330It isnt helped by them killing off literally all of the likable characters by the mid-game
I still would just prefer a shadowrun game that isn't isometric
>>725970052This. You get given the best vehicle at the start of the game. Its the fastest hands down, so fast that other vehicles just stop spawning cuz the game engine cant keep up with it.
>>725970407Pretty sure all the big dudes from Arasaka are essentially that. YOU should be able to be able to get the Smasher full-borged option. I think they needed more gang hideouts like in the DLC, and where is my fucking Judge Dredd block wars?
>>725967169Put all extra points into cool and tech, get a revolver for combat and a silenced pistol for stealth. Once you get all the cyberware perks, get the tech weapons perks so you snipe as well
>>725990550I would so love one of those
>>725974220Honestly, you can clear the game on hardest with only Guts or Bloody Maria.
>>725990670I swear some of the Yaibas are faster. Like that latest one you get from the "special invitation" showroom.
>>725994350Oh forgot about that one, that was sick.
>>725967169The Palica is busted as hell, it only works up close but auto-targeting for shotguns lets you kill everything on the screen with basically no effort.It gets more ridiculous once you find headhopper mods
>>725967359FPBP, don't play dogshit games
>>725967169do a throwing knife build where you carry 3 knives and thank me later
>>725970032Play male corpo V. Play female Outland V. This is how you can enjoy the game from a masculine perspective because V's voice drops off in impression you could resort it to him being a bit whiny from being a white collar worker that washed out.
>>725994708Yeah I did a Smart Shotty build and it felt very effective. One of the nice things about it is since you're building Int but aren't optimizing for hacking damage you can just use all the quickhack debuffs to keep you safe even at close range. On top of the body stuff you also get, it felt very consistent and reliable. My only complaint is the only unique smart shotgun is literally a postgame only weapon (given it's owned by Adam Smasher). I ended up using a modded Zhou for most of the game.
Rebecca, or Lucy?
They ruined cyber daemons builds with the damage and ram cost nerfs. I remember being able to clear a room with contagion now it doesn't even take a 1/4th health from regular enemies.
>>725998595You need to actually set it up so the enemies congregate around a distraction and then combo it with Overheat for explosive damage.
>>725970052The speedometer is rigged in CP2077. Long story short it applies a scaling factor to show your speed as way higher than it actually is. Most cars in the game barely hit a real speed of 100 kph, and not even the Caliburn can hit a true 200 kph.
Rate my fit bros
>>725973754>Netrunner synergizes best with shotguns/LMGs anyways since you always want body for overclock.I tried that and its surprisingly good. Not katana plus sandevistan good, but still pretty strong.
>>725999126I wore the exact same thing on my Netrunner but in Blue
How's stealth/knife throwing?
>>725967169hacking meshes with melee way better then guns, but you have to give up a sandy to hack so you may as well go with the guns
>>725967169>Game was so poorly designed that they had to outright cut body armor as a mechanicLol, lmao
>>726001663Body armor is just a dermal cybermod now. If you wear an actual bulletproof vest or combat helmet it also provides a little armor. But your puffer jacket and jeans don't do shit.
Did a 2020 playthrough loud and melee focused. About to finish second playthrough, went sneaky hacky this time around.
