Best Cyberpunk 2.0 builds on reddit

Even Night City uses Reddit!

Cyberpunk 2.0 introduced a completely overhauled character-building system, giving us new perks and rearranging the existing skill trees. Since then, the community has been very active in creating innovative builds that exceed certain areas and playstyles, especially on reddit. This guide will cover a list of the best and most effective reddit builds I could find while scouring the internet for new ideas on building V.

Contra-MaxTac level 50 build - Cyberpunk 2.0

If you're looking to fight the law enforcement of the Night City, you will have to prepare for the eventuality of encountering MaxTac forces during the five-star run. These formidable squads are a part of the elite, highly modified force explicitly created to deal with high-danger threats like cyberpsychos.

This build, made by a Reddit user DeadicateBDO (as are all builds in this guide), uses a very aggressive play style, spending the most perk points in the Reflexes skill tree. The Dash, together with Lead and Steel branching paths, will make this build proficient with bladed weapons while also able to avoid damage. Moving on to Technical ability, you should base your build on obtaining the Edgerunner perk, which allows you to take on more cyberware. Ticking Time Bomb is a nice bonus, while Body perks should reach Pain to Gain for an added Adrenaline Rush effect.

Militech Apogee Sandevistan-oriented build - Cyberpunk 2.0

Certain cyberware is so good it's worth basing an entire build around it, and Militech "Apogee" Sandevistan fits the bill perfectly. It's perhaps the best-known piece of hardware, and it was even featured in the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Netflix show. You can even build an entire character around David Martinez, but if you want to retain the ability to take a more lightweight approach, investing some points into Cool, this build is perfect for you.

Quickhacking netrunner melee build - Cyberpunk 2.0

This excellent build relies on an Air dash and melee weapon combo while remaining proficient in quick-hacking and smart weapons to disable enemies from further away. As shown in the image above, most perks should go in the Intelligence skill trees, maximizing your character's hacking abilities and cyberware capacity with the Edgerunner perk from the Technical ability skill tree.

Throwing knife build - Cyberpunk 2.0

I never thought a throwing knife build would be viable in Cyberpunk 2.0 until I saw some mind-blowing YouTube videos, and reddit showed me how it can be done. Making this into a stealth build is an option, especially if you take Countershell for optical camo.

This netrunner combines hacking proficiency with SMG expertise to create a very high DPS build. According to its creator DeadicateBDO, it won't take on MaxTac for prolonged periods but can survive almost anything else if you don't put too much pressure on it. The build relies on using the heat shield to kick in while spreading explosions with the fire SMG and Contagion.

This build is based around the Monowire, a cyberware melee weapon with the most extended range in the game. The Inteligence perks will provide sufficient RAM regen to hack your opponents regularly. Using Contagion and Thermal Monowire allows you to create chain explosions, simultaneously taking out multiple threats.
