The INSANE Blades and Knives Build You Need In Cyberpunk 2077 2.0! - Best Sandevistan Build

[@saprone8885]

Now that Short Circuit damage on crit is gone, melee seems to be the new strongest and popular playstyle in 2.0. Excluding netrunning of course. The Apogee Sandevistan and Axolotl combination just provides so much survivability. The fact that the Sandevistan can be activated and deactivated makes it very flexible and ensures to always have slow-time when needed. I do suggest some changes to the cyberware to make this build even stronger in combat. I hope you don’t mind it if I explain them here. Firstly you can save cyber capacity by using the basic eyes instead of the Oracle. The Oracle is mostly good for stealth builds, but even then it is over costed. There are better ways to spend cyber capacity in my opinion. Note that if you want to completely min-max and cyber capacity is not an issue the Deep-Field Visual Interface is still best in slot even for melee builds. The reason is that the 20% crit damage is already strong. With the Scalpel you can easily get 100% crit chance most of the time. It is arguably the best weapon in the game to kill enemies with large health pools, like MaxTac and cyberpsycho’s. I do not recommend using the Proxishield/Peripheral Inverse. Enemies are almost no threat when being up close, because you will be killing them in slow time then. The biggest weakness of melee builds are long ranged attacks, especially hard hitting sniper shots. You probably want to save Sandi cooldown when enemies are further away, but you are most vulnerable to being one-shotted. I recommend using cyberware which provide more armor to combat this weakness. I also do not recommend the Adrenaline Booster, because it seems unnecessary. Against low health targets you have plenty of stamina regeneration with Slaughterhouse and Sandi active when killing enemies. The Isometric Stabilizer is much more expensive, but is worth it in an optimal build. Against enemies with large health pools it is harder to gain stamina back. The passive stamina reduction will result in a dps increase against these tougher enemies.

[@firemblemful]

try synapse burn XD I got 20 k damage

[@Shupao77]

150k dmg on synapse burn (very hard). 1 shots most psychos :) People shit on netrunners on 2.0 but reality is it's still broken. It's just that you have to combo well and manage your ram. Not as brain dead as before

[@saprone8885]

​@@Shupao77​@Shupao77 Netrunning is by far the most broken playstyle in 2.0, I would argue even more so then before. It's mostly because of the Optimizer, which adds 1000% quickhack damage. In my opinion it is pretty braindead playstyle in an optimised build, because you will only be using a few quickhacks in the same order every time. With certain pieces of cyberware you don't even have to worry about your health and will be in perma overclock mode.

[@Shupao77]

@@saprone8885 exactly, most broken

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

@@saprone8885 It's funny how many posts you see on forums crying about how Netrunning is terrible now. I'm sure most of them didn't even try it themselves.

[@emotionalintelligence776]

Another tidbit is that at no time do you need to go all the way to your apartment for a stash reward. All stash rewards can be obtained from your vehicle once earned. Unless you're on PC getting to level 60 or even 50 means you'll be playing and completing a great portion of the game before you get to dog town. You'll get a lot of nice rewards a great story and memorable side quests for your effort. That said this build appears to be more oriented as a template for endgame so I'd adjust and tweak it accordingly.

[@Swagalodon]

Using a biomonitor in the circulatory cyberware makes it so that there’s no animation when using a health item and activates automatically once your health goes down to 35%. This activates Adrenaline Rush automatically while you can focus on just fighting instead of worrying about using blood pump or health items. Blood pump and the biomonitor go well together but I find it better to use the biomonitor with the MaxDoc inhaler, especially after getting the MaxDoc Mk.4 or higher. Saves the circulatory cyberware slot or come cyberware capacity.

[@itsdavetvYT]

That’s fine, but note Blood Pump doesn’t have an animation. You just press the health item button and it hits

[@Swagalodon]

@@itsdavetvYT late but, biomonitor removes the animation and the need to press a button. Blood Pump and Biomonitor pair well together but I’d rather save the cyberware capacity and just use the normal health items with biomonitor. And I really only use it because I’m lazy usually too focused on trying to do cool things. And taking a second to notice I’m about to die then pressing a button so I don’t die is for one, not cool. And second, inconvenient while fighting up close and surrounded.

[@s3eriousbl9ck26]

They may have changed it but now it's 50% health and that's too imo. You make a valid point about the animation but I cant trade what I have considering the early health Regen. I can see it working for others that don't have ways to gain health or have the slot open.

[@s3eriousbl9ck26]

​@@Swagalodonyou know getting to the point whr you need a health regen is not cool as well. It's ok if your proving how optimized a build is but specifically for looking cool you have to be near untouchable and execute spacing and timing near perfect or it's just plain Jane. The only time I can give damage and barely passable execution is when I know it's pure free flow gameplay and not many actually do that other than Spiderman swingers.

[@tallestinbrisas]

You can get the rewards from completing gig quests in you vehicle stash, just thought that might be useful for someone

[@ParagonGorilla]

ik this is late, but my favorite build is a solo “type” build. Its johnnys pistol, explo shotgun you get from smasher, and a lmg with the chimara core mod. Its SHREDS everything.

[@itsdavetvYT]

[@propergander8509]

Playing as a sneaky netrunner with throwing knives is so much fun! Poison the rest with contagion or the poison grenade once you’re discovered, then go in with a thermal weapon like the thermal katana/monowire or the iconic shingen smart gun from the arasaka industrial park to make everybody explode into a rainbow cloud

[@jfxme-f]

Sneaky sandy build is fun too tho Killing 5 enemys is one time slow is so badass

[@HOIIIYEAA]

It's worth noting that if you forgot to pick up or didn't know you could pick up the Nehan off Saburo's body, you can get it from the first weapons vendor you meet in Dogtown.

[@arthuralford]

You can get most of the iconics you miss picking up in game at the weapons vendor in Dogtown, but they're extremely expensive to purchase

[@Ben_Mason]

Nice Build, I like the blue fang dagger it's a guaranteed stun even if u don't kill them.

[@itsdavetvYT]

Thought about adding it, but if most targets are dead within 1 hit I didn’t find it necessary for this build specifically. Good knife tho for sure

[@Bemused247]

For the second hand slot, you can use the tygerclaws tattoo and upgrade it to get a bit of bonus melee damage in the secondary bonuses. Even if the smart weapons stuff is irrelevant. It’s a bit of an extra boost

[@itsdavetvYT]

We’re taking advantage of a lot of Iconics that cost a lot and we need all slots filled for the bonus from the perk under Tech, but if you have the capacity go for it

[@ricard112]

[@darkxwizzard]

i'd appreciate it if you could add sections on leveling the build, where to put attribut and perk points first etc.

I'll look into doing that on the next Build! Mostly for this one I'd at least start off Body with 4 to get the health regen perks, then you can evenly focus on Reflexes, Tech and Cool. Depends how you want to play tbh

[@Balila_balbal_loki]

Some daggers are t-5 ++ with 200%headshot multiplier. Shove 2 t-5 silencio on it what ends up happening is a headshot becoming 819% damage multiplier. You'll crit twice since each silencio is 100% chance from cover with a 50% damage to crit bonus done twice. Maxtac boss fight in the clothing store is a 1 hit on the boss on the hardest difficulty. You can also run around and backstab enemies one shotting them like a dagger skyrim build lmao.

[@АндрейТуровский-к5и]

Great video. I am the same blade builder for this game. I wish the game had more unique knives with interesting abilities. It could be an electric knife with 1 Demon script u choose. It would be awesome for Sandy players to have the available script. Just for a fun variation of combat tactics with a bosses. This game has soooo much more potential in immersive mechanics its crazy.

[@itsdavetvYT]

Thanks, deep diving into builds is what I like to do! It's crazy how catered a build can be down to even the smallest stats. A knife with an attachable QuickHack would be nuts tbh

[@joshoxley3869]

Throwing knives builds would be so much better if you could specify which weapon slot you auto swap to after throwing it, and when you recharge or pick the knife back up then you auto swap back to the knife. This would be amazing imo.

[@itsdavetvYT]

On PC it's easier to cycle through, but the Juggler Perk really helps so I don't have to swap often

[@BradleySherlock-n4x]

You know any weapon reward like the sword from Wakako can be got from your stash in your motorbike or cars boot/trunk by holding X rather than travel all the way to your apartment. Doesn't work with the cars from El Captain and Dino tho.

[@Hoigwai]

The highest damage throwing weapons are called "Claw". It is non-Iconic and if you can get 5+ or more it will be above 153 damage per hit. Headshots will blow heads clean off. I'm currently doing a sword and knife build with no cyberwear but eyes and grip. I have the basic cyberdeck because we start with it but I am not hacking other than turning off cameras and access points for money. It makes combat a serious encounter. You cannot charge in without taking stock of who you are fighting. It is very fun but tricky.

[@rowanmoss7716]

This build looks absolutely amazing. The only thing I would say is that mitigation matters more than Armor.

[@ixiahj]

Blades are confusing. Throwing knives can equip blade mods because they're literal blades but they don't benefit from blade perks in reflex. You can't even block bullets with them.

[@itsdavetvYT]

That’s why there’s the knifes perk tree under Cool, wouldn’t make sense to have them in both like the previously were

[@notedsinner3171]

Guess you didn’t look at the skill trees!?

[@euthanizedghost5078]

Duh, knives are meant to be thrown projectiles not block and deflect bullets like katanas.

[@BookkeeperGaming]

I just started a blades build. I want to test a regular katana with the new iconic mod from the chimera core that adds the ability severence. Or it may just be good to add to the cutomatic. Also personally I like the blue fang knife for the stun but honestly it doesn't matter much against regular enemies since most die to one headshot.

[@itsdavetvYT]

That was my thought as well with Blue Fang and other Iconic Knives like Stinger

[@Harry-fy3te]

I'm using a regular tier 5 ++ katana with two whirlwind mods attached and its really good, I havent tried the chimera mod tho

[@berjerky]

My recommendation for stuns, Projectile launch system. It can stun a group of enemies and activates quick so you can pull it on the run. With Militech soft you can even spam the hell out of it for good measure and with Quake perk you have another stun option with the same very arms

[@Spidercat.]

Scalpel katana quite often is a much better blade compared to Byako. crit damage increases 50% whenever you combine Scalpel with Sandavistan. that's crazy. plus the blade has electrical damage. this basically destroys mechs in an instant. even the heavy armoured ones.

[@frhibread]

wuts the alternatives for the axe though?

[@itsdavetvYT]

Any throwable knife/axe honestly, which ever one if your favorite. I just really like the axe

[@frhibread]

@@itsdavetvYT also how do i upgrade past "+" i see most people have ++ weapons got a clue?

[@itsdavetvYT]

Got to Crafting in your inventory and at the top there should be an Upgrade section where you can improve Iconic Weapons 👍

[@frhibread]

@@itsdavetvYT yeah what i mean is i cant upgrade past TIER 5+ but i cant get TIER 5++ is it like a phantom liberty thing

[@itsdavetvYT]

Might be tied to the DLC of you don’t have it

[@zulchemical]

How does boss fight works? Just whack them with katanas?

[@itsdavetvYT]

Hit a vulnerability with one of the throwing knives/axes, follow up with another while they're stunned, smack with katana until you can perform a few finishers for big damage, repeat 👍

[@zulchemical]

@@itsdavetvYT was playing with gorilla arm build same thing i guess just without the vulnerability thing.

[@mrbrainchild7637]

How tf do you know all of this? It's like you're one of the developers. lol good work. Thanks

[@itsdavetvYT]

Got a lot of playtime hours 😅 I still don't know everything, but I'm testing stuff out all the time to help out the community who wants to have fun with some cool builds!

[@aidengamerboy4041]

I have the Militech apogee sandevistan but for me killing an enemy only gives +10% duration and it only has a 6 sec max duration but it’s at tier 5+. Can someone explain why this is?

[@itsdavetvYT]

It sounds like you have the Falcon on and not the Apogee, but you can upgrade to Tier 5++

[@aidengamerboy4041]

I’m pretty certain I have the apogee on but I’ll try to upgrade it to 5++

[@itsdavetvYT]

@@aidengamerboy4041 Also at the time of this video I believe this is before they tuned the sandy's across the board which probably came with smaller stats and cooldowns

[@dxqmoz]

i got the byakko but its tier 4 and yours is tier5??

[@itsdavetvYT]

Go to your Crafting page and go to the top where it says Upgrade and you can upgrade your Iconic weapons

[@dxqmoz]

@@itsdavetvYT ohh ty

[@ricard112]

Melee damage % increases blade damage right?

[@itsdavetvYT]

Correct 👍

[@waitwut1342]

I'm confused is there supposed to be a way to get more perk points? I'm max level but I still don't have enough points to complete this build

[@titaniumshadow4251]

You get extra perk points by getting your skills to a certain level. For example getting headhunter to lvl35. Also there are things called perk shards you can get which give you 1 perk point per shard. You can look up a guide that shows you where all of them are

[@jerryholden4317]

There are also extra perk point shards. Off the top of my head i rem there's one in the arosaka factory when you're breaking into the floats (it's in the security room where you can access the tunnels) and another near downtown at a random ncpd crime.

[@spacewalker0]

I just got the axe yesterday and sold it because I didn't know it was throwable 💀💀

[@itsdavetvYT]

GO BACK 😭

[@VampireDragon86]

Does anyone know if this will work with netrunner

[@itsdavetvYT]

Yup, should work about the same

[@TheAndy2158]

How do you have so many attribute points?

[@itsdavetvYT]

You get 10 more with Phantom Liberty so you can reach Level 60

[@twotonecloudboxing1471]

Is 2.0 update coming to Xbox one or only new gen?

[@itsdavetvYT]

Only new gen unfortunately

[@carters148]

why no cellular adapter

[@itsdavetvYT]

If I was taking a more aggressive approach a would've, but since I'm focusing on stealth it's not needed

[@kage-dr9zb]

What difficulty do you play in cyberpunk?

[@itsdavetvYT]

Anywhere between Normal and Very Hard

[@kage-dr9zb]

​@@shadowfox9735 I was about to ask the same thing lol

[@shadowfox9735]

​@@itsdavetvYT I forgot to @ to your comment my bad what difficulty did you play this build and when you test out bleeds

[@ille9al-MF]

Bro please drop the fit from the thumbnail🙏🙏

[@jakewithclorox9739]

Is the 18 body necessary? Seems like you can get all the needed perks at level 15?

[@itsdavetvYT]

Perk wise you'd be right, but remember each Attribute point also improves a specific bonus. Plus, there really isn't anywhere else to put the extra Attribute points once Reflexes, Tech and Cool are at 20 unless you wanted to put 1 point in Intelligence to have 4

[@sambatphu806]

How does all your Cyberware only adds up to 321? it definitely goes over that.

[@itsdavetvYT]

Just need to farm for more Cyberware Capacity Shards lol

[@sambatphu806]

@@itsdavetvYT No I mean, I add them all together and they cost 329 how does yours cost only 321? something isn't right.

[@itsdavetvYT]

@@sambatphu806 There was a bug with the Arms Cyberware since they cost 8, that's the only thing I can think of

[@sambatphu806]

@@itsdavetvYT yeah that must be it, that's so weird.

[@dimKiriyenko]

Used the same build basically, minus headhunter plus blue fang. 200% damage for one hit on very hard difficulty will do less that 3-5 seconds of even a cyberpsycho doing nothing. But it's a great build and lots of fun. Throwing axe is probably too powerful.

[@saprone8885]

Funny thing is that within 3-5 seconds you can kill a cyberpsycho in a min-maxed katana build. Using the Scalpel with Sandi active is the easiest way to do it.

[@dimKiriyenko]

@@saprone8885that's what I'm talking about.

[@saprone8885]

@dimKiriyenko Now I understand you. Do you have any succes with other weapons against cyberpsycho's? I did test a lot of different weapons and most of them performed poorly, even weapons which people say do a lot of damage. For example the Hypercritical. The weapons I have tested with the highest dps were: 1. Yinglong 2. Scalpel 3. Pride. Everything else did considerably worse.

[@dimKiriyenko]

@@saprone8885 Sovereign with Microgenerators and Sandy.

[@saprone8885]

@dimKiriyenko You are right that weapon also does a good chunk of damage. I have tested it without the Microgenerator. What I didn't like about it was how often it had to reload. It did lower the dps quite a bit against high health targets. The Scalpel got higher dps, because it could keep attacking for longer without a break. That's why I disregarded shotguns in general quickly as optimal weapons to use in melee. Maybe I should give it another try with the generator, as the Sovereign reload time is not too bad.

[@Lol_low]

I accidentally sold the byakko💀 what other blades can i get?

[@itsdavetvYT]

Basically any Iconic Katana will work

[@20kdredo]

where is this oufit from though??

[@itsdavetvYT]

All of it can be earned in game with no mods, so that's a plus. Not sure how I got every piece tbh 😅

[@marcebarrr]

This still viable? Seems really fun I just wanna double check lmao

[@itsdavetvYT]

It is, but made a new build and dropped Smasher in less than 10 seconds 😅

[@heirapparent5623]

Could you send me a link to the new build?

[@northstar6920]

Do you really need adrenaline rush if you run a sandy... your not gonna be getting hit as evetying may aswell be at a stand still and you aint gonna get hit much.

[@itsdavetvYT]

There's a few perks left under Blades and Knives, but with maxed out Attributes what else could you spend your perks on? Plus for people trying to do Hard or Very Hard Difficulty it's 100% needed

[@Santi.Xx69]

Can you use this build with mantis blades?

[@itsdavetvYT]

For sure you can

[@florin-alexandrustanciu5643]

Yeah cyberpunks progression is good NOW, when I played it was.. different

[@itsdavetvYT]

Back in 2020 yeah, but the game was fine even last year during 1.6

[@CmoiZorra]

Whey do i note have enough points even through i am level 60

[@itsdavetvYT]

Perk or Attribute points?

[@CmoiZorra]

Perk points@@itsdavetvYT

[@itsdavetvYT]

You'll either need to continue leveling up your Skills Ranks in the bottom left of the Attributes window or Perk point chards can be found from caches, gigs, etc in the game!
