A level 37 build using the arasaka cyberdeck, with investments in cool and reflexes.

My take on the Canon V - Female, Corpo, stealth agent who thrives in the Net. This is a pure INT/TECH build, living on cyberware and scop, hiding in the shadows and nuking entire enemy strongholds without ever being noticed. Gun is for oopsie-poopsie moments only, your cyberdeck is your main, choom. Melt cyberware to ignite gray matter, and if that doesn't work, convince them to eat their gun instead. Build your own gear as well, you crafty minx.

Shinobi Build via Katana and Throwing Knife

Sharp objects hurt, so consider the following.

Stealth? Pistol. Groups of enemies? Bolt charge. Consider blades to fill in the blanks as necessary.

Personal Fave build, high speed requiring some finesse, enjoy!

This is designed for no guns. Between hacking cameras, network hopping, and hacking and controlling vehicles, you're able to destroy almost any compound without setting foot in the way of gun fire. The Monowire is there in case you manage to run out of ram, and have no cover. I would strongly recommend running Tier 5 or Iconic Cripple Movement on your Monowire.

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.

TURN OFF & Use Cameras to your advantage from a distance. ALWAYS MAKE TURRETS FRIENDLY!!! Hack your own car/bike to drive into hostile zones and hack enemies if you can't find open terminals or cameras. Mem Wipe+Reboot Optics+Sonic Shock=KILL. Contagion+Overheat=AoE. Shingen helps Contagion AoE. Pizdetz for Stealth, if you feel like it.

Find a room and hack everything around you quietly.

With this build world interaction and dialogue checks can be use, stealth or loud V's will excell.

This Build is a Jack-Of-All-Trades. Can use any Coolbased Tech- and Smartweapon for enormous damage, decent Netrun with a low RAM build and absolutely way to tanky. Thanks to Raven Cyberdeck, Contagnation and Black Mamba can Buff all our DMG for 22%, Low RAM so every Quickhack we use activities Cognito Lattice for crazy Armor and the best Stim regeneration possible! A true One men Army!

Kept you waiting huh?

A Solomon Reed-inspired FIA operative build focused on stealth, precision, and tactical gunplay. Use pistols and tech weapons to eliminate targets with controlled, accurate shots, while cyberware boosts survivability and combat effectiveness. Stay hidden when possible, strike from cover, and use grenades to control the battlefield. When stealth fails, rely on disciplined firepower and resilience to finish the mission.

A ghost in Night City’s network, she strikes before anyone knows she’s there. Cameras go blind, cyberware turns against its owner, and enemies fall without a sound. Armed with the Militech Canto Mk.6, Blackwall Gateway, and a suppressed Her Majesty, she blends lethal netrunning with surgical precision. If stealth fails, Mantis Blades finish the job. She doesn’t fight fair—she doesn’t need to.

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.

Can change perk points to what ever gun build you want this is just the one I use

PL DLC required

I did not come up with this build. This build is copied directly from SamBram’s Sandevistan builds video - I just decided that it would be a useful resource to have the build in a much more easily accessible format.

You can find SamBram’s video here: https://youtu.be/RN_4iVdL4Js?si=tz4EojmQ6dxEXioF

Build comes fully online around 20 Cool 20 Int 9 Reflex. Overclock and Tech stuff is lategame. Budget/low grind works, but feel free to grind some chipware con bonuses.
