Don't Ruin Your Character In Update 2.0! Cyberpunk 2077 Best New Skill & Skill Tree Breakdown

[@Khrazegaming]

Keep in mind, this was not a build example. It's a deeper look at mechanics that can synergyze with (almost) any setup. You will pick and choose them depending what you want to do.

[@Didusny]

I have a question, what is the situation with old saves and saves where you edited the skill tree using mods? Does the game balance your perk points for the new system?

[@tonkrogerio]

Please let us know if stealth hacker is still boring or if it's actually fun now. I only played it when it came out but restarted the game because it was so bloody ez. then I believe they made it so they can just find out where you are which defeats the point of stealth. is stealth hacker viable now or does it still have issues like that?

[@jamiehuebsch]

Based on other early 2.0 access folks, isn't this was actually all about the Attribute perks and Skills (Netrunner, Solo, Shinobi, Engineer, and I think Headhunter?) are something else entirely? Since they replaced the old skill progression where you had to run to get Athletics xp, and cut people with swords for Blades xp, etc. Would love to hear about this part of 2.0 cause I've only seen it mentioned but very few details besides that it gave much cooler buffs than the old skill system did (which was mostly small %buffs and extra perk points to spend).

You pick a boring easy build but expect it to be interesting?Lmao

[@GriffinatorOriginal]

I REALLY want a NG+ added to this game. You spend all that time making a badass and…the game ends. CDPR said new game plus would be too difficult to include because of balance changes and testing. I don’t see how. The whole point of NG+ is to play again with an OP character to rush through and see the things you missed on your first play through without having to slowly make progress again with a new character. They wouldn’t have to rebalance anything. If they added it in Witcher 3 they can add it to Cyberpunk 2077.

[@Mirthful_Midori]

Did they not say that 2.0 made enemies level up with you? That seems like a good start for new game plus. Guess they just found it too difficult to keep track of all the items and unlocks the player can have, but that seems a bit silly to me.

[@cale1523]

Does v die in the story? Making an ng+ with the same character as your last one would defeat the entire purpose of them dying

[@GriffinatorOriginal]

@@cale1523 How? The story restarts. What happens in it has no bearing on a new game plus. Geralt retires at the end of Witcher 3, Ciri can die, etc. but it still has new game plus. Same company and engine.

[@Mirthful_Midori]

@@cale1523 Obviously not. Continuing the story with a dead character would be nonsensical, but that's not what NG+ is. It would be replaying the game with the stats and items of a previous play through and there's no way for that to make sense story wise anyways.

[@AVH8TOR]

@@thanksyoutubefortakingmyhandle I kind of did the same. Saved them until I needed them for doors, hacking, etc…

[@3choblast3r4]

Sooo.. it seems to me, from the build planner cdpr made. Intelligence doesn't matter anymore for cyberdecks. Crafting is no longer tied to any stats and tech ability, but cybernetics are very dependent on tech ability. Pistols are at cool now over reflexes. Body is much less useful for health, you can only get 35 more health at 15 points. Might as well keep it at 9 or even 4 depending on how much the armor you get from cybernetics helps mitigate the loss of health, every attribute point in body gives you 2 health per level. So at 9 that would be 18 health per level. At 15 it's 30 health etc, this also means the 35 extra health you get from adranaline rush lv 1 (which needs 15 attribute points into body) is completely useless lol Intel has one good 20 skill that makes your quickhacks spread. But mostly it seems to limit your hacking very little if you decide to go with lower intel. I personally will take 12 intel, only really need 9. And I always found smart weapons to be boring It's a shame that lmgs and shotguns are tied to body but those I'm least likely to use (although I will miss shotguns). In the end reflexes will give me katana, smgs, and ar plus dash, air dash etc. And the lv 20 skills are incredibly strong for every category. Then 20 tech because you need at least 15 to unlock all cybernetics spots. tech weapons are great fun. And the lv20 cybernetics skill for both cybernetics and tech guns is super strong (although the cybernetics one is all about sacrificing health for cybernetics capacity, which would synergize well with high body) lastly 20 cool, I want to pistol and katana or at least be able to between AR/SMG and Katana to a pistol/throwing knive/katana or pistol/ar/katana this tree also has movement speed. Or maybe start sniping etc. Anyway this setup allows me to max all weapons except shotguns, lmgs, and blunt weapons. I will need to move around some pionts and respec perk points sometimes but will be able to enjoy all weapons, have super high armor, be a decent hacker (I don't know if I can use highest level hacks, but it seems like I can, just not as efficiently as someone that puts more points into intel) I will have relatively low health but very high stopping power and mobility and that's the way I like it. So 20 reflex, 20 tech ability, 20 cool, 12 (or 9) intel and 9 (or 12) body

From my understanding, you can’t reset attribute points. You get a one time only reset of you attribute points on any already existing characters you have because of the updated skill trees, but after that you can only reset perks. What you are seeing in the video with attribute points resets is for the build planner on the website, which had it because you are meant to plan out your build possibilities.

Is there really a way to ruin a character? I mean, your character is just the way you build it, right? To everyone...don't watch a video and take their build as end all be all. Build your own, think for yourself.

[@MisterCynic18]

It depends on how the skill system is built. It can be easy in some games to pick poorly designed options that sound cool or miss obvious synergies the designers expected you to take then end up struggling through the game. The more possibilities there are the more chances for you to do something unexpected that simply doesn't work, or sometimes even works better than it was meant to. Doesn't hurt to get advice from others on how x combination might actually work in practice, especially someone who makes money from sitting there testing these things for weeks and making videos about it.

Same here, do not understand the hype of the new skill tree. It does not gives you the opportunity to skill up as you want and make your own class, rather and forces the players to choose between pre-defined classes. It is dumb.

Technical Ability was by far the strongest skill tree back then, I was hitting 500k++ damage per shot with Comrade's Hammer and the crafting perks was just a bonus. Now Technical Ability skills tree is far less important than it was before. Cool skill tree was the 2nd best and it's also not important anymore. IMO, Body/Reflex are great choices now. Technical Ability is good for the cyberware upgrades but the pistol/revolver route is definitely not as strong as it once was but I guess it was for the best.

And in regards to clothing all the mod slots they removed form the clothing took away extra stats like base movement speed, crit rate, armour etc. and it’s now all in your cyber wear but you can’t pick in choose the stats attached to each piece. And also only select weapons have mod slots, I now have several maxed weapons I can’t add anything to and about 50 optics because I can’t use them on anything or I have the mods and that only work on one weapon type and the gun I have of that type doesn’t have a slot to put anything in.

You also can also turn off Sandivistan which means you don't have to full cd to wait. for 1-2 enemies I can turn it off and have to wait 2-3 seconds before it's online again.

[@rjtablet]

At end game i was able to put 20 intelligence, 20 reflexes, 20 tech ability, 17 body, 4 cool. With gorilla arms equipped, you can open doors that require the 20 body too without needing 20 in body. You will need Pantom Liberty to raise level cap to 60 for this.

[@TheNewb187]

i play fallout this is very similar to the perks

[@dyo1001]

I honestly hate the new skill tree. It forces all “V” players to play the same due to all the skills branching from the bottom and the new NEED to unlock a lower skill to move higher up the tree. I’m honestly disgusted by this skill update. It takes away so much build flexibility in favor of all V’s having the same root skills regardless. All V’s can now get 20 attribute points in 5 of the 6 slots with the new level cap. I’m just overall dissapointed. They could have just added these skills to the original skill planner and replaced some of the old ones. The original skill sheet that lets you decide to pick any skill as long as your attribute level allows it is much better than this new skill tree. I’m forced to buy into the bottom skill to get to the next tier of said skill in the new skill tree and i hate it.

[@hammermandan8264]

okay so, I can see where you are coming from and I can respect that - however, counter-point: I CAN NOW THROW A GUY AT ANOTHER GUY HARD ENOUGH TO KILL THEM BOTH

[@yfnratchet]

@@hammermandan8264 I find it to have the same value as a party trick. The gameplay _looks_ a lot more bombastic and 'fun' and I very much appreciate the extra combat opportunities, but it's not worth removing a lot of player choice when it comes to specializing. You're forced to min-max into a specific weapon type and playstyle based off which basic stats or skills you like more. Horrible. I also don't like that all the perks are barfed into one big table per attribute now, which removes the clear delineation between which perks are actually worth something to you and which aren't. I think it's a huge step back in terms of player choice and If I ever update to 2.0 I'm going on the hunt for a mod that puts me back on 1.6 perks with maybe some takeaways from 2.0.

[@MeldinX2]

@@yfnratchet Eh i mean i can see both sides. I think the new system are better in some ways but worse in others. It's better in terms of clarity and in terms of acually giving new actions you can do instead of just being passives and stat increases. It's worse for build diversity since the new tree locks you into a certain playstyle which the other one did not. Atleast as much.

[@yfnratchet]

@@MeldinX2 Yeah, I'll concede that in terms of UI the old perk trees sucked. It was hard to tell which perks gave you what, especially in terms of crafting perks in the Tech and Intelligence trees. I would have enjoyed an upodate to that design, but in final UX it didn't matter _too_ much to me since I could just do a little spiral out from the center to see what did what and plan accordingly.

[@varelasensei]

I’m personally running what I call the 4/20 netrunner build which is 4/20/20/20/15, with a focus on intelligence perks, dipping in SMGs, Cyberware & a few Cool skill tree perks. In my original playthrough I did a Tech/Cool build that focused on Crafting and Stealth with Throwable Knives and Blades. Since I don’t need any investment to get the best crafting anymore, and I don’t really want to move away too much from a more methodical, carefully planning playstyle, but also don’t want to do purely stealth again either, this is the way to go for me and my god I am loving it. This build is also perfect if you like using Skippy!

[@DirtySerb]

Im so glad i waited till 7 days ago to re-buy CP2077. Haven't played since Launch week and now playing on a monster gaming PC. My first character is only 32 but loving it and still learning so adjusting to 2.0 should be easy. Still going for a super soldier build.

[@Crimsondragonblade]

Loved the info, spent a lot of the day playing and enjoying the update and I can't wait to see any builds you come up with ^_^

[@sorina9130]

Hopefully they add a repeatable gameplay loop in some fashion and xp to get up like going through entire game and not being able to get all the bonuses or a decent way to get money after doing everything is just crappy

[@johnroberts838]

Excellent review, thank you 👍👍👍

[@TheKampfmaschine]

Before I spec into it I wanna make sure, Mantis Blades still count as Blades in the skilltrees, right?

Cybernetics are cool but its a shame that one cyberware will cost you like 80k-100k.

[@miloszszewczyk1996]

great video, thank you

[@krolltheknight]

So we are still playing as V? This a mid-story DLC not a continuation?

[@D00M3R-SK8]

so is the dying night style, ricochet-headshot archetype dead now, or do we just have to build it way differently, please? I'm leaving my level 26 V (which was my Dying Night build, in progress) for now, to focus on a new hacker/monowire character (definitely using your new video as a guide to help me with it) but I'd definitely love to come back to my level 26 as well, even if I just restart this character again, it's a build I was really into. All the bullet time you have access to, the crazy headshot multipliers, the ricochet was so much fun as well. I may have originally even got this build from you as well, I forget. After seeing handguns moved to cool though, and that we have no skills linked to ricochet, I assumed they wanted to kill off the build to make room for new stuff. Would be awesome if it can make a come back, just a bit different though. Would definitely love to see an updated, automatic pistol/headshot/ricochet build, if it's at all possible to do again. PS: so looking forward to the smart SMG's.

[@Lumina_VT]

Looking forward hopefully to updated Cyberpunk Edgerunner builds with the new system!!!

[@mugenokami2201]

Honestly? We really should be allowed to max everything. Yes the potential for brokenness is there but we would kinda deserve it if we grind *that* much to get there. Just picture having to do all those things just for some perk point or small buff. Though I still want to know what to do to level each of those paths. Game doesn’t tell me jack.

[@RavensSoTired]

Agree

[@mugenokami2201]

@@RavensSoTired what part you agreeing to?

[@onetruekeeper]

My skill tree is broken I think. They all still remain locked and I am almost finished with the game.

[@Momonga4358]

Does the blades part of the skill tree r relate to mantis blades as well? Like the blocking bullets?

[@w0rldnev967]

Yes mantis blades and mono wire count as blades

[@MeldinX2]

@@w0rldnev967 I think they changed monowire back to being a hackers tool now. I don't think it counts as a blade anymore.

[@RobDaKid87]

I wish these early access people would stop lying about things being better. Health packs are worse and on a cooldown. Cyber ware is FAR worse and again have ridiculous cooldowns. Plus you extreme limitied on what you can equip unless you max out the texh tree wasting both attributes and perks just to use anything worth while. In what way is giving people less l, better? Its not. Its different, definitely not better, and I'd argue worse.

[@erensametkaratas6593]

Did you change your mind after playing the game?

[@Sssaid17]

If I’m doing a new play trough, Does the relic tree unlock instantly for use if I buy phantom liberty or will it be unlocked Once I get to that point in the story?

[@Crimsondragonblade]

The relic tree appears to be story related, been playing a while today and only have the usual perk trees.

[@auteur_al5630]

I accidentally used my one attribute reset, I'm hoping they make it so you can do it more than once in the future

[@gosthunter39]

@khrazeGaming….In one of my play through in which I have done everything upgraded everything, I have 219 perk points. Are u saying that this is going to be cut to max of 80?

[@DonOsterman]

How is that even possible? I maxed out the only trees that have 3 subclasses within them and I’ve got 134perk points. Sounds like hacks

[@koolkiwidude3820]

My pure “come catch these hands” build isn’t nearly as strong as it once was anymore… and tbh that’s ok. No one man should be both Batman and a God

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

I'm really disappointed that Tech guns got sidelined so badly. Before 2.0 I always just ran with a tech revolver and a shotgun... in 2.0 tech weapons don't seem to synergize all that well with any build at all (and get like 1 talent cluster in the upper right of the tech tree and that's it. The only thing tech weapons do (other than shoot through walls ofc) is leveling up Engineer path.... Even tech revolvers were nerfed to hell by adding charge time to them. My poor Burya.. Until modders get to it, tech weapons are now just gimmicks you can use with the Stalker eyes to shoot alert enemies through walls, but since they lost the talents that made their damage huge, they now lose to any other type of gun in an open fight. Btw can someone explain to me how gaining crafting specs work in 2.0? I feel like I got some by disassembling the weapons but that might be just a feeling. Even with iconics, sometimes you get a weapon outright and sometimes just a crafting spec... when the 21GB PL patch finally finishes downloading I gotta try disassembling my Fenrir to see if I get a crafting spec or if it just gets lost forever.

[@YeOldeMachine]

I really like the new perk system, but it seems like we're gonna end up with just a couple builds at max level. I was kinda hoping it would be a bit more specialized instead of giving so many points to max 3 stats. I wouldve preferred blunt weapons/shotguns, stealth/weapons, cyberware/grenades, ect... be different stats that allow a specialization. Now everybody is essentially a jack of all trades. Which is fun, but i prefer a bit more rpg in my rpg

[@sped1987]

I thinks it's a missed opportunity to add a stealth finisher with the monowire since it could easily be used as a garrote

[@BenjaminSmith-pr8hb]

You mean as a decap? Right? Cause that is what would happen if you tried to strangle someone with that lol😅

[@mattpkc34xx]

I hate that they moved the monowire perks to intelligence, i think the mantis blades are boring and really enjoyed the monowire for my melee build, but now i need to go down intelligence to do that now.

You're gonna touch up on the Edgerunner builds right?

[@andrew2272kag]

I'm gonna restart the game as I haven't played it in so long. My last build was mainly focused on hacking, with mantis blades just to clean up. I am torn on restarting with the revamped intelligence or try something else. I always thought the later Cold Blood stuff looked cool.

[@harvtehmarv]

Thank GOD that anybody can build legendary items without needing to plug into Tech ability. Such a relief to hear that change was made. I felt forced into taking points in Tech if if wanted decent weapons
