After many tests and calculations in Excel, I was able to create a very optimal build in terms of cyberware. As for the weapons, they can be changed for others according to the player's tastes.

In theory, as I have not tested this, consider slapping 'em around with that BFC.

Published
by@pure2700

Stealth-focused throwing knife build with basic Netrunner utility and high mobility. Throwing knives are the main weapon, supported by poison and stealth perks. If stealth fails or enemies get too close, switch to blades as a reliable fallback. Prioritizes Cool first, then balances other attributes while building toward Juggler, Ninjutsu, Dash, Air Dash, Adrenaline Rush, and Overclock

Pickup Satori & Nehan during The Heist - These are your defaults until you can get to Dog Town and save Meyers. Afterwards you only need the X-Mod2 weapons. Claw for stealth takeouts at range. Agaou is optional for AoE at range. Cut-O-Matic X-Mod 2 is for turning large inconveniences into several smaller inconveniences. Too bad this game doesn't have a fear mechanic for your enemies because this build would be pure nightmare fuel.

by@ROZEN

Oneshot Shotgun when shooting at the knee or ground, Byakko for good measures, Agou just for fun.

When fighting MaxTac use a normal Katana with max tier cyclone or heavy melee Byakko when using the Sandy to cycle finishers.

Getting Quantum Tuner you have help So Mi to the moon until the very end. 🌕♥️

The centerpiece of this build is two smart shotguns with two shuffler mods each, and with instant target lock when overclock is active, V is a mindless killing machine. This build is attributed just enough to still be able to use stealth hacks for missions where stealth is needed, and gorilla arms are just a fitting accessory I believe.

First build
Cyberpunk 2077 Shotgun Sandevistan build
Close Range
Endgame
Published
by@Josh

My first character/build. Some easy improvements can definitely be made e.g Cockatrice(not needed for sovereign), Rara Avis, Revulsor etc. I also need to identify/find good secondary weapons.

I chose to not to use overpowered stuff like kneel.

On very hard difficulty, it can kill MaxTac teams for as long as ammo lasts.
