Cyberpunk 2077 Character Builds

These are my Cyberpunk 2077 Character Builds: builds that play like a character from Cyberpunk 2077 or the Edgerunners anime.

For each one, I picked the weapons, cyberware and perks that come closest to how that character fights, then made sure the build still holds up at level 60. Most of them also come with the outfit, and for Lucy, D and Talia Yang I show how I recreate them in the character creator. Every build is updated for Patch 2.5.

See where every build ranks in my Cyberpunk 2077 Builds Tier List.

Edgerunners Builds

• David Martinez Build: The Apogee Sandevistan, a rocket launcher in my arm and more chrome than my capacity should allow.
• Lucy Build: A stealth netrunner. I clear fights with quickhacks and only pull out the Monowire when someone gets close.
• Rebecca Build: Point-blank shotguns, huge health regen and Edgerunner Fury.

Edgerunners 2 Builds

• D Build: The Militech Canto and Blackwall Gateway spread my quickhacks through whole groups, and the Yinglong cleans up the rest.
• Talia Yang Build: BioDyne Berserk and Mantis Blades. I leap from enemy to enemy and take half damage while I do it.
• Weak Kingsley Build: King’s Coronation revolver shoots through cover, then Gorilla Arms and Zetatech Berserk take over up close.

Night City Legends

• Johnny Silverhand Build: The Malorian Arms 3516, Gorilla Arms and a pile of explosives.
• Adam Smasher Build: LMGs that fire explosive rounds and an arm that shoots 5 rockets at once.
• Morgan Blackhand Build: The Shingen Mark V Smart SMG, a rocket arm and a Sandevistan that stuns the whole room.
• Oda Mantis Blades Build: Mantis Blades, Oda’s Jinchu-Maru katana and Optical Camo for guaranteed crits.

Movie Builds

• John Wick Build: Pistol headshots, a rifle, a throwing knife and his fists. No Sandevistan, because John Wick doesn’t need one.
• Terminator Build: The Wild Dog LMG, a shotgun, Gorilla Arms and a Second Heart that brings me back when my Health hits 0.

Which Character Build Should I Play?

Hacking: Lucy if you like stealth, D if you want quickhacks that jump through whole groups.

Melee: Talia Yang or Oda for blades, Weak Kingsley for fists.

Guns: Adam Smasher or the Terminator for heavy weapons, Morgan Blackhand for Smart SMGs, Rebecca for shotguns, Johnny Silverhand or John Wick for pistols.

Sandevistan: David Martinez or Morgan Blackhand.
