Cyberpunk 2077 - 10 Things I Wish I Knew Earlier (Tips and Tricks)

Cyberpunk 2077 is like an onion. You gotta peel back its layers to reveal everything it has to offer. But if you cut it up too quickly, the experience will end in tears. Ok - maybe this analogy is falling apart a little bit. My point is - there are a lot of ways to play this game and even if you have a lot of experience with Cyberpunk there may be some very useful things you missed along the way.
But that ends today, because in this video, we’re going to explore 10 tips and tricks I wish I knew earlier when playing Cyberpunk 2077.

[@japierdole2222]

​​@@lordmorklen5166 i have a question , in the beginning of the game you have a mission to steal a spider bot and you have to kill everybody inside... after completing this mission everywhere i come on the streets or eaven cruising in my car i keep getting attacked by a group of gangs in 2 cars.. and they are very hard to kill i keep dying over and over i play on normal difficulty.. i tried reloading certain points of the game to try to avoid them ... but after the mission is done i keep getting attacked by them .. doesnt matter where i come or where i go they spot me on the streets and go after me instantly and i keep dying do you or does somebody knows what to do to solve this problem???

I love the fact that they named the first ripper doc that you meet in the game "Viktor". Later on, when he revives V, they say something about feeling like Frankenstein. There are several other easter eggs too, all which make it very clear that the devs were making an allusion to Dr. Victor Frankenstein.

[@queenannsrevenge100]

There’s another joke, there in Victor’s name - in the old movie _Airplane!_ Leslie Neilson’s character asks the ground crew named Victor “What’s the Vector, Victor?” The ripper doc’s name is likely an homage to that, as well.

One that ought to be on this list is that you can head down to the beach by Pacifica (left-hand-side of the map), run up and down the entire beach killing all the enemies you see. There's enough there to keep cycling their respawns endlessly without having to leave the area, and they have a decent chance of dropping those booster shards. It's an insanely quick way to power-level your street cred and make some serious bank in the process, with a selling point at each end of the beach! I believe I was making about 40k eddies per inventory-load.

You know what, I really regret playing this game for 200 hours before 2.0. I finished it three times with different endings, did pretty much all the missions and side gigs, and now I'm replaying it and it's super boring. I want to level up a bit and upgrade stuff before getting to Phantom Liberty. People who play it now for the first time must really enjoy it. Playing a game at release nowadays is just making sure you're playing the worst version of it.

[@DDuffy143]

1000 times YES. And it sounds kinda lame, but guys, y'all be honest... Cyberpunk really is more than just another shootem up game.

Regarding #8 … I had the perk where hacking a netrunner who is hacking you spreads what you’re quickhacking onto multiple enemies. A netrunner was hacking me and I hit them with cyberpsychosis. Next thing I know, 8 of them were all cyberpsychos fighting each other.

[@user-ow7do9ju2q]

I didn't know that while I was playing. I cleared nearly all enemies in one area with a single quickhack.

[@OmenCrimson]

Here's a tip: Don't put off finishing the game. You get some bonuses for finishing the game that carryover to your character after you finish the game. For example, if you loot the final boss, you can go to his ship after the game and get a crafting spec for an incredibly powerful smart shotgun that shoots rockets and gives you stack of pyromania if you have that perk. Depending on which ending you do, you can get exclusive iconic weapons, such an assault rifle for doing the final mission with rogue or an iconic revolver if you do the final mission with the Aldecaldos. As I said, you can continue to use these weapons with your character after finishing the game, and use them while doing Phantom Liberty. The smart shotgun I mentioned earlier is incredibly useful, especially on Very Hard and even more so if you have pyromania.

[@RambunctiousVA]

I thought the game automatically reverts to your last save at the beginning of Nocturne when you finish the main story? Did they change that with Phantom Liberty?

The quest for the free Caliburn used to pop up at 40 Street Cred with a marker on the map. I don't know if I missed it this time or they moved it to hidden quests. There is also a weaponized Quadra, a tribute to Ken Block, for free in Watson. And if you are a bit patient for money: when you hack into things at 40+ you get legendary quickhacks which sell 20k+ a piece.

[@my5head]

The black Caliburn is indeed a hidden quest now. Not sure at what level it's unlocked, but it wasn't there when I did Panam's quest at level 25, and it was there when I went back at level 50.

[@DagobertX2]

I think I stumbled upon the Quadra when you have to chase one of the rogue Delamain car.

[@contrabardus]

The real quickhack you shouldn't sleep on is Sonic Shock at Tier 4 or higher. It effectively erases an enemy's presence from their allies, allowing you to take them out without anyone noticing via whatever "quiet" method you want to use, a silenced weapon, a quickhack, a thrown knife, or a blade. It's like Memory Wipe, but better, and cheaper.

[@Davivd2]

Yeah. It actually makes the game a cake walk. SS and then Insta kill with synapse burnout. Plus being able to do it from hacked cams, and you never get traced. It's actually stupid OP.

[@Playa001]

Im so proud of CD for nit giving up. absolute studs.

[@KyleAlexJohn]

Quick note for anyone just starting to use Hidden Dragon: you need airtime to get it. It used to be that double jumping right beside the target was enough, but it seems that after 2.0 you need a bit extra height to make it happen.

[@JA-lr5ix]

kinda makes sense it’d be broken to just double jump on people like fuckin’ Mario

[@TheManlyVIK]

If you use the fortified ankles cyberware it can be done from ground level because it gives you the extra height that's required.

[@kamikaze00007]

I think this is because the trigger condition is your max jump height or + bit higher than it must be achieved. Like, if you need to do a full-height jump before smashing down onto your target with the move to trigger; What I haven't seen is if the measurement accounts for standing on higher platforms. Like if your max jump height is 5m and this makes the trigger require 5.5m (which you can do from the ground with cyberware), if you stood on a platform 3m tall and jumped a short 2.5m that would also fulfill the trigger condition. That's what I'm unsure about.

[@ponymandesperado6261]

[@Shadowant25]

I didn’t know about it and randomly jumped and murdered a random civilian in front of the cops I was like tf going on here 😭😭🤣

[@Ferrinflame]

Best balance I've found for me in terms of crafting mats & credits: any tier below what I'm equipped with (meaning if I have blue weapons and chrome) I sell at vendors (in our example of having blue gear, we'd sell green and white weapons) and dismantle blues I get for crafting materials to upgrade to the next tier. Soon enough blue gear will be replace and any blue items get added to the sale pool. The reason this works is that I pick up enough broken weapons for low-tier crafting mats that I can just craft them into higher tier materials when combined with the weapons I dismantle. Once I hit 500k eddies, I dismantle everything and rely on payouts from gigs to keep it afloat from there.

[@Philinleshed]

Two more tips: PICK UP EVERYTHING - you can convert junk into common crafting componenets and then convert them to green components for a 5 to 1 ratio. This will give you more components AND level up your Engineering skill. Win-win VISIT FOOD VENDORS - there are some later food and drink items that give permanent bonuses

I can’t remember the perk names but it’s in intelligence and it allows you to hack the net runner through cover and then that hack spreads to all the enemies around.

I think it’s 3 perks, one to identify them, one to hack them through cover and one to spread your hack to all their friends.

There's one that you follow through a warehouse and while going through it Silverhand appears and says you should try to get into the car. It's locked but the keys are nearby.

For the Raycaster you need to unlock the crate first to get the car. Regarding Enemies trying to hack you they have a proximity to their hacks. If you run a good distance away from them you could cause fails because they don't have a good range to effect you. I normally don't use cameras to hack enemies because you would always alert everyone and blow stealth. It's best to room to room deal with guys that way although it's harder but you won't blow stealth if you're good enough. I play on Max Difficulty.

Wanted more tips and fewer spoilers. For me, the feeling of finding a cool weapon or car is in the discovery. If someone says, "go to point A on map and get best car in entire game" then that means it's not worth getting excited you might get a cool car reward from completing a difficult task as it won't be worth it because it's never going to be as good as the car you were given at the beginning of the game.

Haha yes, reinforced tendons asap! I was about to comment how I always start a playthrough with them and you already had them first.

[@ScotCinamon]

2:45 dude you get 1 crafting component per clothing item dismantled, whereas with guns it's 5 or 7, depending upon whether it's tier/tier+... _and_ weapons are undoubtedly more prevalent in NC, So good luck trying to upgrade iconic weapons by following this point, it'll take you literally hundreds of hours.

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

I really like « weapons giltch ». « Reboot Optics » and « Cyberware Malfunction » are pretty good too. I always love to see the enemies being completely blind and lost when I shoot them in the face.

[@Nightwalker170]

As a net runner I can't remember the last time I was anywhere near the line of fire, thus weapon glitch was fairly useless. Using a combination of intelligence, tech and cool I'd approach a building by stealth (from a neighboring roof if possible) and hack into the cameras. Using Contagion, and a raven cyberdeck I could clear an entire building in under a minute in most cases. Any stragglers were marked, pinged, and zeroed curtesy of the rounds my tech sniper rifle shot through their skulls. Before the phantom liberty patch, I didn't even need the rifle.

[@alpine1600s]

I like the broken weapon loots, prior your inventory would fill up really fast, especially with heavier melee weapons.

[@dfc2851]

you mean broken because they are lighter now?

[@alpine1600s]

@@dfc2851 no, broken weapons are scrapped immediately upon looting.

I’m so happy I waited these couple years to finally play cyberpunk. Thanks for the tip

[@MrGermandeutsch]

9:15 - Alternatively, call up any of your available vehicles, as they have a storage at their back (even the motorcycles), which you can access at any time and unload anything you don't want to carry at the moment. Just gotta make sure to be near a road and not in the middle of most missions as they tend to disable your ability to call your ride.

[@jubjub7101]

The best enemy Netrunner deterrent is the Self Ice cyberware and the perk where you can upload a quickhack through walls against netrunners trying to quickhack you. There's also a perk where you have a chance to spread your quickhack to other enemies within range of the enemy netrunner. I was lucky enough to system collapse an enemy netrunner, which spread to 6 additional enemies around them. All of them insta-crashed, which was exciting and rewarding.

[@_The_Black_Cerberus_]

There’s actually 2 set of perks in the intelligence tree that reveals enemy net runners when they are hacking you and the 2nd perk adds to that if you hack them back it cancels their hack and gives them and others around the hack you put on the net runner and throughout my play through the hack that spreads to other enemies is massive you’ll probably clear the entire combat scenario by hacking back one netrunner

[@lovelesstv]

new patch made my gtx970 crash to desktop. makes me wanna fiddle with the cfg/ini files and see if i can still play it. if not, it is what it is. if i can get it working, am interested in seeing what i can do on new builds. either way, heavy patches with minimal content updates makes it a hard pill to swallow. big ups to you bringing info to us!!!

[@kgreen242424]

There is an iconic legendary cyberdeck that grants any quickhack that can, the ability to jump to nearby enemies. It will do 5 others and you can get another off the tree. Combine that with the node for increased damage per jump plus the jump radius nodes and the only quickhack you need to trivialize this game is Overheat. You basically have prolif and Overheat effectively stuns the enemy. Excellent for groups

[@killertrip10]

Cripple movement stuns people in the same way weapon glitch does, and the legendary version reduces the target's armor by 25% (45% on the iconic one). Plus it freezes them in one spot, giving you plenty of opportunity to make some distance, or wait for some more ram to generate.

[@Comicsluvr]

The new rules for hacking, including stacking quickhacks, are the bomb. You can often get bonuses for stacking one of each type of quickhack and Weapon Glitch is a good starter.

[@KC2Lucky]

Would of loved it is this didn’t contain spoilers for main quest. Looking to send a friend a video with some of these tips.

[@prosperchief5903]

Literally kicking myself after this video.. like duhhh. Thank you for info, my gameplay definitely getting better 💯

[@BofaDee33]

I'm like 450 hrs in and I discover new things all the time. Side note I remember when you created your outro taking it from Commander Sheppard. Good to see you still use it.

[@future_teknokrat7585]

It's been 11 days since release of Phantom Liberty...the math doesn't add up unless you've been playing prior to the update 🤣🤣🤣

It took me 80 hours to 100% the game and I was taking my time. Wtf have you been doing?

[@Nunya_Argo79]

@@future_teknokrat7585 The game has been out for 3 years, they never specifically said "450 hours in Phatom Liberty"

I'm on like run 15 or whatever. I restart try new builds look at new areas etc. I don't think I've ever 100% the game not about that to me. Just enjoying the game.@@KillaD69

[@B-Rad412]

This game is so Raw I sure hope they do more DLCs or another game after they fixed it. It is exceptional

[@EvilTim1911]

I found cripple movement to be a better alternative for weapon glitch because it'll still stun enemies and stop them from shooting you a couple of seconds but also does wonders for enemies that have sandy. The new 2.1 buffed Adam Smasher is still a joke if you just keep hitting him with cripple movement

[@samowlson2926]

Adding to your 8th point. There's an implant that disrupts any incoming netrunning hacks. This was golden for my playthrough)

[@-ef]

There's actually a way to access the ladder in the kerry quest without double jumps, you have to use the wall in front of it and sprint jump. tested jenkin's tendons in 2.1

[@user-ni9vo1cd3g]

Love your videos man! just wanted to know what do you expect a youtube custom thumbnail to do to your youtube videos

[@fyngolnoldor4891]

8:05 I installed the Self-ICE chip, never had a problem with a netrunner again (at least on Hard difficulty).

[@xXEienKageXx]

Clothing only nets you one crafting component of the associated tier, weapons grant you either 5 or 7 if it's a + tier, and once you get into tier 5, the ++give you 15. Money is way easier to get just through breaching access points and selling the plethora of quickhacks you acquire. I easily sell enough to take all of a vendors money while still having a shit ton left over.

[@h4rshturtle456]

Yep i have over 12 million all selling quickhacks

[@Killua4145]

Using the dash with the double jump then air dash, you can clear ALOT of ground using this technique and pull off some cool kills

[@kobbyhitake6898]

How do you dash?

[@kefkapalazzo1]

I dash jump then double jump but I’ll try your way

[@Jarredpearman]

I'm playing through all of the base game ncpd scanner hustles and gigs before starting the phantom liberty dlc and at lvl 57 I can say that I have never run out of money having never sold weapons after around level 10 and just using all weapons and clothing (minus the ones that give buffs for wearing em) as crafting mats. You do need the crafting mats to upgrade your gear as you go if you want to stay ahead of the purchase/drop curve. And lots of things just don't drop at the levels you can upgrade them to with mats. I've only purchased a Shion Coyote and a van (for transporting bodies for photo ops) but my cyberware slots are all full with tier 5 to 5++ level gear and the iconic weapons I use are all 5 or better. Mats are far more valuable than cash, at least before getting to the new zone, which I am blind on.

[@andrewk.caesar1158]

Why would you want to drive around in a van filled with bodies? That sounds creepy. Don't get me wrong but it's like another tuber who unveils exotic weapon bonuses from ultimate game packages and only seeing gloved hands. Gives me the heeby-jeebies. Just hoping I ain't seeing cereal killers in the making.

[@Jarredpearman]

@@andrewk.caesar1158 Nah, just 1 at a time lol. Interesting photo ops sometimes. More like a Weekend at Bernies. And some of the people don't look dead, especially depending on how they drop. The game is already full of much much worse content like hitting people a time too many with a monowire and off with their head, or arm, or leg, or more. Or grenades, shotguns blowing gonks into smithereens. Nah I just like a variety of unusual action shots or faceshots with camera mode with a variety of themes.

[@dillonhud3962]

One thing I wish I knew earlier was that you can access your stash from the trunk of your personal vehicle! I used to be overloaded all the time with Iconic weapons and clothing I didn’t want to sell, scarfing down all the capacity boosters I needed until I could make it to an apartment. No more! 😂

[@trickshotthefinaltrick]

I think about cyberpunk is when you have conversation with people and you need some type of to push the conversation even farther no one told you that I forget the mechanic

[@noControl556]

Weapon Glitch is great for fighting bosses too when the other power hacks don't take them out or aren't available

[@Zayphar]

Hey, Big Dan! Question for you. I know that when you start PL you get locked into a chain of quests/missions. When can you go back to the main world without hurting the PL story? After the end of 'Lucretia, My Reflection'? After 'The Damned'? After 'Get It Together'? It has to be before 'You Know My Name' because by this point the plot starts to move along from one thing to another, and bailing would be a big break in immersion. When(at what point) do you think it makes the most sense to dip out and go back to the main game quests?

[@discodolly25]

once you unlock the "apartment" you and the President hide in (after meeting Reed) you should get a call from Mr Hands to let you know he got you VIP access at the Dogtown gates. After that you should be able to come and go freely, even using travel points

[@mpfab131]

[@Clandestinemonkey]

actually good tips man thanks

[@tomcascaddan8319]

Sonic Shock quickhack at Tier 3 or higher allows a Netrunner to separate them from the network and take them up with a follow-up damage quickhack.

[@limatoad1]

You can call your car and go to the truck to access your stash. You can then drop off any gear weighing you down. Then, head to a vendor and access the stash again to sell what want.

[@B0NES48]

The car is gone unfortunately. I ran and drove through the whole tunnel 2x and it’s not there at least on PS4 Katana is also gone.

[@hanzdekker1]

There's a bit of cyberwear "Self-ICE" you can have slotted that cancels hacks. I can't recall ever getting hacked with that installed. It was pretty OP, even on Very Hard.

[@Reaper1008]

I personally like to take control of the turrets.. So fun.. Then everyone agarose the turret. Most recently, when getting Helman.. I took control of one, when everyone started attacking it.. I switched to the other one.. and took finished most of them off.. Then set the turrets to overload.

[@808Mark]

Awesome tips thank you!

[@rockdem0n]

Note on the Free Rayfield not in some of the videos, it only appears at certain times of day in game. I found mine at about 3:00AM in update 2.1 and what prompted me to give it another shot after not finding it is another user on another video saying they found it at 2:30AM.

[@ClutchingUp]

My biggest thing is wish i knew earlier was iconic weapons that are only obtainable through missions. I wish i got them because i am a completionist/perfectionist when it comes to story games as i want to get everything that i can. I had to run a second save/character in order to get every iconic weapon.

[@Non-Negotiable]

You can get a free car with guns attached to the front after jackies death. Its north west. There are a bunch of open warehouses and its located in there sitting alone... no quests needed.

[@arthuralford]

Easiest thing to do is get Delamain's job to hunt down his wayward cars, drive up to northeast Northside and find the missing car. When you do, you'll be in an area with lots of abandoned warehouses. Drive around, and you'll find it inside one of them. Keys are in a nearby trash pile under a board. The car is a Javelina with machine guns, painted as a tribute to the late racer Ken Block

[@sleepyproduction7166]

I liked it when it first came out, my copy was great I had no bugs or crashes. Now idk I liked playing different all the time and now I have to pick one style and stick with it

[@simonwilliams567]

I've never needed the capacity booster, i tend to just summon a bike if i need to stash and they are enough drop boxes to offload the guns you picked up during combat.

[@DomDomPop]

Couple extras: 1. If you turn down Panam’s choice, you get the Archer Quartz car, but it locks you out of a lot of stuff as it’s necessary for her side gigs and romance questline. There’s also an iconic weapon during the revenge rampage you go on that you won’t get otherwise. The car will be added to the auto fixer a couple days later, so you’re way better off just buying it. 2. If you’re doing a netrunner build, you can use one of your relic perks to add the weapon glitch quick hack to your monowire and apply it with charged hits. Personally, I think doing the movement one is better because applying it improves follow up attacks with the monowire, but the option is there.

[@ErisOfNightCity]

My Number 1 tip for Quick Hacking: Slotting them in order so your preferred one appears first in the list.>> They are listed in order based on where you slot each one. I personally use Short Circuit as my first in line (top of the list). That way you can rapid fire it as fast as you can shoot a gun. To do this, load your quickhacks from the BOTTOM first, making sure that the quickhack you want to be at the top of the list is slotted LAST into the TOP LEFT slot. So top right for 2nd last, and TOP LEFT for the last one.
