Eager to check out V's new abilities in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty? Update 2.0 has completely revamped several mechanics, including how you maximize your character's build. Our guide discusses Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's best perks and skills for each attribute, as well as how you can acquire more points that can be allocated.
Before we talk about the best perks in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, we should first take note of three important facets: attribute points, perk points, and relic points. Those who've played the game prior to Update 2.0 might recall the original skill tree, which has since been revamped. Still, certain core mechanics should feel familiar.
All attributes have a base level of three points, which allows you to allocate perk points for low-tier skills. You'll need to add more points to unlock higher brackets. The maximum level is 20, which lets you select the top-tier or legend perks. You may reset your attribute points once.
When choosing perks, bear in mind that there are numerous options, but points are limited (and you still need to level up to gain more). As such, it all comes down to your preferred playstyle and iconic weapons. Also, each attribute has at least one perk that affects vehicular combat. The good news is that you can freely refund your perk points whenever you see fit, so try to mix and match accordingly.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's best perks for the Body attribute primarily rely on close-range combat (i.e. blunt weapons and shotguns), heavy weapons (i.e. light machine guns and heavy machine guns), and the Adrenaline Rush ability. In our case, we didn't focus too much on blunt weapons, but we did love blasting foes with the Ba Xing Chong shotgun.
The Reflexes attribute is for those who also want to get up close and personal with enemies, similar to the Body attribute. The difference here is that you'll rely more on mobility (i.e. Dash and Air Dash), as well as blade weapons, such as the Black Unicorn katana.
The best perks in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty aren't just for instant-use abilities. Some offer passive boosts when it comes to item recharge rate and cyberware. That's where the Technical Ability skills come in. It's worth noting that the cyberware feature has been reworked in the 2.0 update--you've got an assortment of new implants, and your armor value is dependent on the implants that are equipped.
The Intelligence perks in the game are those that focus more on quickhacks. These are skills that can cause debuffs or damage to enemies, while also creating distractions and explosions when used on machinery and vehicles. In some ways, the
