Monowire and Netrunner Build for Update 2.0 | Cyberpunk 2077 Updated Build |

[@JasonA-g5d]

I noticed he said cool is where the dash is located (small mistake) Dash is located in the agility perk tree if anyone was wondering. gr8 vid tho

[@YRAT-mr8jq]

Thanks! I've been looking for this!

[@jamesonholbrook3969]

I’ve never been one for dodging but I find myself using it more now with the update, and seeing that run-dash goodness makes me ashamed I’ve been ignoring that. Thank you for showing me the way 😂

[@MarshallZPie]

Is there something that buffs the dashes cause I just started a new playthrough (haven't played since I finished at launch), and the dash is like 1 inch for me.

Body 3 what difficulty? Normal?

[@Comicsluvr]

I LOVE the fact that your build is Tier 5 but it's not all 'Tier 5++/OMG/Iconic everything!' like so many.

[@ethangraham6035]

this build is the most fun ive had playing this game lol. thank you brother 🙏🏻 P.S. I looted an Adrenaline Converter and had enough capacity to slot it in, the movement speed when entering combat is extremely useful not gonna lie.

[@jeremiahgraham14]

I really like this build, thanks for the guide. I was looking for a more pure netrunner and lucy inspired character. On my character I decided to drop Body and spec the rest into cool and intelligence maxing both. Thanks for the upload.

[@Grrimhildr]

dont drop body, go at least 15 body for adrenaline so that overclock has a good supply

I love how you edit your vids, got a new sub from me and keep it up. Good vid, thoroughly enjoyed

[@Uglier.]

Best build out rn for sure

[@mjeevans2104]

Nice one fella that's exactly what I'm after

[@RunVus-s3o]

This is a great video. Do you recommend getting these perks in any particular order?

[@sofabored2150]

Does monowire scale off of blade perks? I don't wanna waste my attributes.

[@ToliG123]

Dash is in reflex not cool. You hovered over the crouch sprint perk when you were talking about it haha. On that note I think you could drop all the cool for more of anything else. But the extra crit is nice too.

[@m1kethe1ke]

Hey man I've been playing cyberpunk for awhile but this is the first time I've tried to make a legitimate build. Was wondering why you chose the Netwatch Netdriver over the Biotech? (Biotech gives a monowire dmg boost) Just curious and would love to hear your points before I choose which one to go with.

[@Pedaeus]

they way you pronounce scarab is criminal

[@nebulagray88]

Hey man, I've been having a bug(?) that makes it so that the monowires from ripperdocs don't have an attunement and seems stuck on a lower tier, even though they're orange already. Not to mention that other arm cyberware have attunements and the monowire doesn't. Really sucks cos I can't use them right now since they're so weak because of this.

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

That is really weird and sucks to hear, If you are loading an old save there could be some weird bug. But if its on a new save that's even more weird.. I haven't been having any issues in my saves, Hopefully you can find a fix and get back to some monowire gameplay. I'm sorry that I'm not of more help.

[@nebulagray88]

​@@SWIFTMEDIAOGactually, looking a bit closely, it seems like even the monowire you showed didnt have an attunement, same with other youtubers i saw. This seems like an oversight. There's no way that the monowire is intended to have no stat attunement

[@michellep.4837]

When looking for the Operating System, the one they have for sell for me is the Netwatch Netdriver MK.V and not the MK.1 like in your video. Any ideas?

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

After making this video Ive continued to tweak and experiment. I would actually recommend using MK.5 instead of MK.1 as it provides better stats in my opinion. Offensive quickhacks can be uploaded to 3 targets within a 6-meter radius. Increases damage dealt by quickhacks by 30%. Increases cyberdeck RAM recovery rate by 9 unit(s) per 60 sec. Increases quickhack spread distance by 60%. As MK.1 only provides Allows you to preform quickhacks on enemies and devices while scanning -20% traceability for quickhacks uploaded through cameras -50% RAM cost for device and vehicle quickhacks Combat quickhacks uploaded through devices gain +15% damage +20 effect duration

[@michellep.4837]

@@SWIFTMEDIAOG Hey thanks so much for replying! I’ll go back to it. I wasn’t sure if what I was doing was right so I went back to an old save. Now I know haha. Dumb question, what are the little symbols that are under “cyberdeck”?My little yellow guy says 0, and I’m not sure why. Thanks so much for the very detailed reply too!!

[@michellep.4837]

I did the perks first and hadn’t upgraded any cyberware yet because I thought I was doing something wrong

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

No problem! Sorry for the late response, If you haven't already figured out what the numbers are below the Cyberdeck they are "Yellow guy" How much the Cyberware costs "As the game now has limited Cyberware Capacity That can be increased by unlocking either "Edgerunner/Renaissance Punk" perks In the Technical Ability skill tab "though im not sure why yours is saying 0. "Blue Ram" How much ram the Cyberdeck provides, "This can be increased with perks/Overclock perk" "Blue Quickhack logo" This is how many quickhacks can be slotted into the Cyberdeck "Intelligence logo" This is the required Intelligence level to Install the Cyberware "Could be wrong about the last one, But I'm pretty sure that's the case"

Why spec i into blades and reflect ...when ur using the monowire?? This build is wierd as hell

Greatvideo my dude insta sub❤ first one ive found with a good indepth guide for little old lucy.. just 1 tip (only cuz im a bit drunk watching this aha) when you went into the level 20 cyberwear mod part i was trying to look at the self ice and if you hovered over it for another second i could see it better.. love to see more..

[@Lyudo]

can anyone tell me what the button for monowire is???? im looking everywhere and i dont know lol i feel like an idiot trying to find it. and on the hud theres no keybind for it. just like cyberdeck and stuff but like actual keybind for monowire i just dont see it.

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

You can find monowire in your weapon wheel, It will replace your "unarmed" state. On pc "hold alt" and select it or you can use the scroll wheel till it cycles through.

[@Setnja92]

Which one of the monowires is best in your opinion? Heat, shock or this one mentioned in the video?

[@eternalgamers10]

I'd suggest the regular version because you can attach quick hacks to it unlike the others you mentioned above. But otherwise thermal would be your best bet.

[@theclash24]

Can you get all this stuff low level and upgrade or all this stuff late game...cuz i came back to play and this was my favorite monowire style but they never new the skills for it and where to get it all... The legendary use to be free. Now yoh gotta find the small version...think its 20k eddie 20 street cred still?

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

I would buy Tier 3 gear instead of Tier 5 if I was a lower level, Then slowly level up and switch out Cyberware as I continue to play, But since the loot changes I'm not sure if you can just find monowire like before..

[@JonReing]

Currently level 18 your build looks similar to my own but I’m doing my own thing. I presently have 15 reflex, 9 intel, 4 body, and will go for 9 cool. Hopefully by level 23 or so will go for endless throwing knives. Kind of want to do a stealth hacker ninja

[@somekindadragon3414]

Damn, Dash really is good for Melee Builds. I wonder what if it will be as good for Assault Rifle or Pistol Builds. (I can’t help making Stealth Archers)

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

Dash was a blast to use, and I suspect it will be amazing with any build as it just allows alot of freedom to your characters movement.

[@xdsweatypalms5296]

I found a very fun feature with dash. Dash and then jump immediately after. It gives a far jump and it's really fun

[@JasonA-g5d]

For me dash is a must have the movement feels so good its a shame to not run it. Air dash with double jump is even better for getting around the map quickly without a car. Invest in the better air movement perk for strafe double jumps (Just 15 points in agility no reason to max it out unless using swords)

[@Sluxslol]

why not use the militech paraline mk4? it has buffs for monowire and you don't really seem to upload through cams very often.

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

100% I recommend using anything that is better then what I used and ended up showcasing when making the video, as its just what I selected at the time.

[@balto2552]

What quick hacks did you use? Or does it not matter?

[@FinalOven_Mint]

Throwing knifes would have been interesting with this build instead of swords imo

[@trelltheguy]

Is this updated only for Xbox series X & ps5

[@paulodiaz5774]

Is the Monowire still considered as "Blade"?

[@digitaIdarkage]

I want to play electric monowire but the stats on reg monowire are better.

[@michelney8810]

Looks really fun! I like that they made hybrid netrunners better and nerfed the 'sit in car, kill everything remotely' kind. What difficulty is this at? And what quickhacks do you recommend? All the pure netrunner builds I find use long combos with the overclock ability but I don't know if spending your health on hacks is the right way to go with monowire.

[@JasonA-g5d]

Overclock makes you a God hacker if used right. Just get the biomonitor and blood pump cyberware, and the blood Damon perk in the intelligence tree and you're basically unstoppable (and the level 4 healing body perks are helpful too)

[@destroyerblackdragon]

Do perks for blades effect manowire like they did pre-2.0?

[@Vishura670]

Unfortunately no which sucks considering I used to run a monowire blade build with a sandevistan which felt crazy op but was fun. Might give the mantis arms a try just didn't like the thought of running around like a necromorph lol.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

​@@Vishura670So how are you supposed to imrpove your melee skills with manowire? Is it tied to intelligence now?

[@zztingzz2367]

How do you get such a high level and methods to level up fast?

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

Sorry I don't have any quick tips for fast leveling as I actually loaded an old level 50 save so I could create this video faster. Though I may create some leveling guides when phantom liberty releases for 2.0 and the paid expansion. But don't hold me to that lol...

[@Admlostinwow]

just keep doing the ncp mini quest on the map... The blue ones that are fast and give you perks.

[@4hmadFuad]

Can you make Lucy netrunner build... I think that more accurate to the anime

[@Bihhdntkillmyvibe]

Can anyone explain how i slot quick hacks into the mono wire ??

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

In Phantom Liberty you can unlock a relic perk called "Jailbreak" This will allow you to add quickhacks to monowire. In the cyberware tab you will then be able to add quickhack,. But this requires you to own Phantom Liberty.

[@somekindadragon3414]

Good job on your updated “Lucy”, I haven’t gotten a console yet that can take 2.0, so I have a question. You seem to highlight specific ripper locations when you discuss cyberware, do specific rippers have specific cyberware still in 2.0? I had heard otherwise. Thanks and again, good build.

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

I have yet to test if specific Ripperdoocs have specific cyberware like before, But I showcased the exact location I got the cyberware from incase it doesn't show up at other ripperdocs.

[@JB-xl2jc]

Popping in to confirm that Ripperdoc inventory has been standardized, so all Ripperdocs have the exact same inventory. I go to Vic consistently since it just feels fitting narratively- if I'm gonna get chopped up and reworked, I want someone I trust and have known for a long time.

[@jroz1692]

@@JB-xl2jcdoes this mean I can punch fingers now

[@JB-xl2jc]

@@jroz1692 Yep! Preferably multiple times

[@JB-xl2jc]

Oh one caveat, the extra bonuses on cyberware are randomized every day after every doc, so killing docs removed one more "randomized chance" to get exactly the extra stat combo you wanted. But, you could just Wait one time extra since it's shuffled every time inventory refreshes anyway; the actual items are now all standardized.

Hi, I was always using netwatch cyberdeck on my netrunner, but in 2.0 they changed the deck completely. Is it still good to use it now?

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

I would say yes, But don't hold me to that lol. In my little testing I find it to still be very viable option in 2.0 but I recommend experimenting as they changed so much in this update.

I was playing on Normal/Hard. It is possible to play on very hard when tweaking the build as I mention in my pinned comment but its definitely a challenge!

[@SirVelstadt]

So is the stealth netrunner build not possible anymore?

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

From what I know its still possible, You just wana put points into Cool and have optical camo Cyberware, Aswell as the Ninjutsu Perk. I recommend creating a manual save and experiment with options.

I dont know man… this build is kinda all over the place… and you are missing one monowire perk even tho your build is heavily utilise monowire :/ Also about your reason not taking overclock is you could just wait for ram to recharge is kinda meh. Overclock also has few synergy mechanics like timed emp bursts. It adds more dynamic gameplay with more mechanics to utilise. But you do you. Its your build

[@SWIFTMEDIAOG]

This video is just my version I created and I highly recommend tweaking this to find what works best for you, But you are 100% right about Overclock and would highly recommend anyone getting it if you are high enough level, otherwise put perks into "RAM recharge/Ram reduction and then add Overlock in the later game. Though I'm not sure what perk you are referencing for monowire specifically, If you wouldn't mind replying back with the perk and the reason for why you should add it, Hopefully it can help others!
