Cyberpunk 2077 Close Range builds
Builds for point-blank work: shotguns, close bursts and getting in someone's face. For players who like their fights personal.
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.
This character is based on K or Joe from the movie Bladerunner 2049
A stealth-focused Netrunner built around quickhacks, Monowire and Smart Weapons. Ghost through encounters with covert hacks and cyberware, then switch to Overclock and Adrenaline Rush when stealth breaks, burning through RAM, health and anything still standing before finishing the survivors with smart firepower.
What if you spent as much time in the 'Net as you did in the City? Eventually you'd see the fallacy of iron sights like the rest of us and beg for an AI to take over. Grab up the highest-tech smart weapons and go to town. Hop around and fry them with quickhacks while you're at it choom. Just for fun, make one of them go totally cyberpsycho. Be chaos. Just pray MaxTac don't show up.
A Tech-forward build for the discerning chipware connoisseur. Just give all your eddies to your Ripper and let your body take care of the rest as it automatically heals you, dumps EMP charges into your foes and tells you where to point that fully charged tech weapon to cause the most chaos. Reach out and touch them with Nash's Iconic Achilles and knock them down at close range with your Omaha or DB-2 Satara. V is the Tech god of Night City from Lvl 1-60.
Fully centralized build to emulate Adam Smasher as I see it. Focus on bigger guns, bigger 'ware, and bigger booms. Literally burn down Night City. Everything explodes and you simply walk through the flames. Nothing can touch you, and nothing can see you thanks to time melting Sandevistan action. Pro tip - swap the hand cannon for a powerful AR in late game for mor boolets and swap the perk points for other boomy things. Fade to black.
In theory, as I have not tested this, consider slapping 'em around with that BFC.
Sharp objects hurt, so consider the following.
Personal Fave build, high speed requiring some finesse, enjoy!
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
Guts shotgun only, made for peak speed and manoeuvrability.

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.
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.
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.
To finish this build you need the PL DLC
use sandevistan to unleash the fury of your mantis blades on the enemy. sniper for starting off fights before you get up close and personal.
If I’m being for real, idk why I made this. I guess just cause I didn’t have a Streetkid build.
