Guide 6 notesPublished
byARamirez_2

This build is super fun and does great on Very Hard difficulty. It's very flexible and can be edited and played using whatever you want, much like Dante in DMC. I found it incredibly enjoyable to just run the dual weild pistols and a sword, but you can easily shift around some perks and weapons to fit a Vergil or Nero build (I recommend Sandy w/ Scalpel or Satori for Vergil, PLS w/ Errata or XMOD-2 Chainsword and Malorian for Nero).

Have fun!!!

Centred on the "Apogee" Sandevistan, dual pistols, and tech weapons. La Chingona Dorada power pistols conserve ammo via headshots while stacking crit and burn damage. Ol' Reliable and Archangel revolvers melt bosses during Heywood Hurricane. Finally, Coronation with Kiroshi "Stalker" Optics delivers massive headshot damage and wall penetration for easy eliminations.

Theoretically cyberware capacity can reach 374 but it is hard to reach since the capacity shard is rare, much more feasible getting into 364 capacity. I would swipe some pistol to find synergies and swapping muzzle for silencers since most of time you would get a jump on the enemies first. You might don't even need Quantum Tuner. Don't forget to proc Heywood Hurricane, it will help with bullet spread and fire rate. Try to get reload speed stat modifiers.

Monowire build. Spend all your RAM and activate overclock for a massive damage boost. You also continuously discount the Suicide qh by using finishers and Cripple Movement slotted into your wire helps with that and damage.

There are a few possible variations:

  1. Thermal Monowire with Contagion (tier 4 minimum) to spread explosions around.

  2. Sandevistan instead of a cyberdeck. Drop middle Int skills if so.

Dupe cyberware shards to get enough capacity.
