This is how Powerful V really is in Cyberpunk 2077

This is the build if you want to try it out:
Reflexes Level 20
Blade Perks: Literally every single perk there is for blades
Cool Level 20:
Ninjutsu: Perks you will need in Ninjutsu is Silent and Deadly, Crouching Tiger, Strike from the Shadows, Dagger Dealer, Assassin, Jeepers Creepers, Cheat Death, Hidden Dragon, Leg Up, Ghost, From the Shadows, Hasty Retreat, and Critical Antidote
Cold Blood: Perks you will need in Cold Blood is Cold Blood, Will to Survive, Coolalugant, Cold and Calculating, Pain is an Illusion, Rapid Bloodflow, Critical Condition, Predator, Immunity, Coldest Blood and Blood Swell.
For the unspent Attribute/Perk points, i put them into Assault Perk Tree and Body Attribute but this was my personal opinion. You can put the unspent points anywhere you like. I suggest leveling up your technical ability attribute to level 18 so you can craft legendary items.
Cyberware--
Frontal Cortex: Heal on Kill (Legendary), and Mechatronic Core (Rare)
Ocular System: Kiroshi Optics MK.3 (Epic) The Ocular system really doesn't matter unless you're putting your unspent points in Assault or Pistols
Circulatory System: Micro-Generator (Epic), Adrenaline Booster (Uncommon), Syn-Lungs (Uncommon)
Immune System: Shock-N-Awe (Legendary), Metabolic Editor (Epic)
Nervous System: Kerenzikov ( Legendary), Nano relays (Epic)
Integumentary System: Subdermal Armor (Legendary) Optical Camo (Legendary) Heat Converter (Epic)
Legs: Reinforces Tendons (Rare)
Arms: Mantis Blades (Legendary)
Skeleton: Titanium Bones (Uncommon) Microrotors (Legendary)
Hands: Ballistic Coprocessor (Epic)
Operating System: Qiant Sandevistan MK.4 (Legendary), Tip: If you wanna have 2 sec cool down for the sandevistan, get your technical ability to level 18 and your crafting ability to level 18 and buy the Arasaka Heatsink crafting recipe and craft 3 legendary versions of them and equip them all on the Sandevistan, Boom, best sandevistan in the game. Its on possible to do this on the Qiant MK.4 and btw, DO NOT PUNCH FINGERS IN THAT ONE SIDE MISSION, IF YOU DO HE WILL NOT SELL YOU THE QIANT MK4 and a whole bunch of other cool shit.

yeah V is op , but i think the reason he can handle such high amount of high cyberware without cyberphycosis is because his brain is being rewritten all the time because the chip that is containing johny silverhand . thats why hes dying slowly , his brain is a mush . the only thing keeping him alive is that

And when he did finally go cyberpsycho he used it to protect his friends and rescue his girl before laying down and letting the fight end. people saying that Smasher bodied David when In reality David wasn't fighting for himself. Hell he wasn't even fighting Smasher mostly just taunting him, He was on defense the entire time against Smasher to protect Lucy and was fighting his own cyberpsychosis.

You can get the Sandevistein mark 5 at the Ripperdoc at the Aldicaldos camp I think too. Fingers only gives you the mark 4.

[@unetlanhvi2811]

I bought stuff from him before punching him, although he had literally nothing I wanted for my build.

[@loop2743]

@@unetlanhvi2811 I pretty much use pistols, katana, and Mantus blades as my main weapons. I use Sandevisten or a normal processor depending on the mission. I also use assault rifles and shotguns but only when I'm low on ammo since my build is focused around blades and pistols. Don't know what the name for the build is but I just call it The Street Samurai Build.

[@dreadnaught1445]

I mean. You can let Judy punch him and then be a little nice. That way you get to see him getting beaten and a great Sandevistan and cyberware.

I regularly do that with a silenced pistol. I can drop dozens of enemies without ever moving. My daughter is playing a netrunner build and she doesn't even sneak, she just strolls into a conflict area and MoBs start dropping like she's spreading the plague.

[@zerogrey3798]

I wish you could put a silencer on comrades hammer, the last shot perk would be amazing with my build and that gun. But yeah my daughter's character is scarey. I've seen a lot of videos come out with netrunner builds that do the same. IMHO netrunner/quickhack builds are the most dangerous/scariest. People just start dying like magic while someone is just non-chalantly strolling through a room.

The best thing about this is that this is just one build. A netrunner V could kill all of them by looking at them. A Solo V could do it all without the stealth and speed. This V annihilates them before they even know he's there. It's insane how crazy OP he is.

[@nicobenji0248]

Love how fluid the combat is in this game. I feel like their execution of combat is underrated. That being said there's no challenge cause very few AI in the game can match V's abilities. Which is weird considering in the lore millions of people are addicted to chroming themselves up lol. Feel like they did V's combat well but did the AI poorly lol. I've seen crazy combat maneuvers pulled off in this game and it makes me wonder what scenario would be like in this game without any balance considerations lol.

[@NoName.NotNamed]

Agree with everything you said. One of the best combat systems I’ve played and it’s really so fluid. The AI difficulty I have found tends to scale with you obviously but also with your methods of approach. It’s so easy to become ridiculously OP in the game that the AI really doesn’t have a chance of competing. But in some gameplays that I’ve done, my “realism” gameplays, the AI can be absolutely brutal. Especially in the later game missions where you’re soloing encampments and bases, shit gets hard. I was playing a Soldier build, max body, reflexes and tech. So a pretty basic build but focused on using only assault rifles and handguns. Only course of action allowed was close quarters. Really was a lot of fun. Also I recommend playing with the HUD completely off. It’s an unbelievable immersive experience, a must try.

[@MrBellyar]

Lorewise he goes CyberPsycho eventually with this amount of upgrades. Then Night City is really fucked...

[@januszkurahenowski2860]

Not really, his psyche is being overwritten by Johnny's engram and Johnny is not suffering from cyberpsychosis. Also the relic has protected you from a bullet to the head, imagine it would prevent you from going psycho as well. Also in the actual lore the implants themselves don't make you psycho by themselves, the thing is that a lot of people who have that many are ex military or mercenaries and they suffer from ptsd and other mental problems. Cyberware is the catalyst but without any predesposition to psychosis it's not going to happen.

[@NoName.NotNamed]

Does he really?

[@phalanx3803]

the Relic stops V's CyberPsycho but the relic its self makes V's life just as short.

@@delugesofgrandeur yeah, balance (as well as AI) is fucked up in CP2077. Enemies were design in the way they are completely hopeless against quickhacks. No demons, no ICE, no diversed cyberwere (every hack works perfectly against most enemies without scaning them), few countermesures. Hacked cameras arent destroyed by enemies when you start to use them, you dont have to get into any central unit to hack everyone anywhere, no minigame is required to pass to do it. It's very badly designed element of the game.
