Cyberpunk 2077
Stealth Netrunner/Gorilla Arms
build
Published · Updated

This build combines stealth quickhack insta-kills with bolstered gorilla arms to create a terrifying solo-cyberpunk-assassin.

Reflexes lets us effectively stalk our prey and pick them off from the shadows. Tech investment allows us a cyber-psychosis-inducing amount of implants. Body keeps us alive and empowers our gorilla arms for when combat is unavoidable. Intelligence provides essential netrunning abilities.

No weapons/grenades used, only cyberware.
