Can You Beat CYBERPUNK 2.0 Without Cyberware? 

i think this is super funny since no cyberware is the 'big downside' in phantom liberty's ending. so if you ditch that and do a run without it phantom liberty becomes objectively V's best ending since he can just go back to being a merc.

Reed: Your body can't handle most cyberware...combat implants are outta the question..its too much for your brain to process..so we had it shut down..V the life you knew...is over. V: Do I look like a bitch to you?

I think it’d be interesting to see the inverse version of this challenge, where you can only use cyberware to deal damage. Main additional restriction would be to limit the tier of quickhacks that can be used so it isn’t just a netrunner build that only uses the monowire

Alternate title: punk 2023

You know a fun run would be a Jetstream Sam build. Basically, No to minimal Cyberware using only a katana. Since all the Reflex Blade tree has bullet deflect and all those movement options.

14:44 A quick note for fighting sandy users with guns, you can hit them with a quick melee and then shoot them, as the quick melee temporarily disables their ability to dodge.

The reason you started having so much trouble with Oda is that he's bugged. After you die the first time and reload the latest save he begins dealing way more damage than he should be, enough to oneshot many players with just his smart gun. If you reload a save before the elevator every time you die he will deal his normal damage.

no cyberware was crazy enough but.. no perks AND attributes on top of that? Truly insane

well now its just Punk 2077

36:29 Oda will never live this down. You know all his colleagues will be emailing this photo around 37:39. His friends and family will be making fun of him for the rest of his life. The kids table at his family thanksgiving dinner will be giggling in the corner and only he will know why. You have single handedly (literally) ruined Oda's life.

The run for people who want to keep playing after Phantom Liberty's worst ending.

The fact that there's still so much depth to the gameplay without talents or cyberware is a testament to how great Cyberpunk 2077 really is

Started playing cyberpunk a few weeks after phantom liberty came out and found your channel/cyberpunk runs shortly after. Ended up up binge watching them all in a few days time. Partly because of the challenges and partly because you are just plain fun to watch. Keep it up bro

I think they made it much easier to do no attributes/perks as they don't increase damage like last time, and not having them doesnt nerf you, so having them is more abilities and more health. Either way, this is by far the hardest possible challenge with this game now, short of physically nerfing yourself and your aim. I like how more lethal everything is, and your aim can really carry you.

A “Liver King” build. 20 body. 3 intelligence!

Yesssss 2.0 challenge run!! I've been looking forward to this one.

Fighting those animals probably made you experience what its like fighting V. Just super overpowered, fast and hard to kill.

Well this makes that one ending from phantom liberty less depressing. Very impressive

Been wanting to do this run myself, especially given one of the endings. If you can beat this with no chrome and perks, I think that makes the ending itself invalid in a major way. Id tack on one life as well, just for extra pain

daddy abraham have my children

The Tower ending would have been perfectly fitting for this run, unfortunately it wasn't even on your list of options.

Bro did the Morgan Blackhand build

The new ending stops you from using cyberware forever, it's so cool seeing how v would handle night city

So glad to see your challenge vids back!

Glad to watching you again mate, been avoiding all Cyberpunk RU-vid while I complete Phantom Liberty, very excited to see some challenges through the DLC!

This is the definition of jack-of-all-trades. No special skills, no special cyberware, just pure luck or skill

Hey man, I’ve been watching for some time now and I have no idea how you have not stopped posting cyberpunk, you have a gift man. Keep it up.

Wow, what a grind! BIG thumbs up.

a long one, nice! been waiting for this

Aaaaaand he’s back with more cybercrack!!! Another amazing video bro 🔥

7:05 "no" *bonk* "bad boy, bad royce"

Been waiting for this one!

I found out you CAN get rid of your optics. All you have to do is make a save back in 1.6 till you meet viktor. Then update the game and all your implants will be gone

I love how your doing an all natural playthrough while using copious amounts of drugs really is the perfect liverking build

After watching your video I want to replay Cyberpunk again, thanks!

Love your vids :3 Also, the bug with Meredith is caused by a mod… not exactly which one but it’s in archive and it’s got Meredith in the name… pretty sure it’s either amm or an improvement mod for her :33

Love to see you doing cyberpunk challenge run again. 2.0 really did change up thing quite a bit.

I was literally browsing your channel to see if you had any new videos!

19:51 imagine it being the dead of night and you have a fully nude man with only a tire iron weaving in and out of the buildings around you taking out your entire group one by one. Crazy.

My man just experienced what the regular night citizen has to deal with.

Ngl, been tempted to do a similar challenge upon seeing the dlc ending.

I like the idea of V running into the scav hideout with the equivalent of a wiffle bat with nails on it and someone killing everyone in the process

I would love to see your projectile launcher playthrough on 2.0. I’ve been trying to make a build myself but keep getting stuck on figuring out what works and what doesn’t perk wise with it. Tech and pyromania but have been trying to see what else can possibly work.

I figured this was the most obvious challenge run. Just started the video, excited to check it out. On a side note, one of the endings would put V in exactly the condition you put him in for this run. Which is an interesting thought, as well as upon learning about this ending made me think of you and this challenge.

Found your channel recently, very happy to be early for a video.

Lmao. Seeing you struggle with the Sandy users was painful. I learned in my Doom build playthrough that the best way to deal with those guys is just to rush them, quick melee, then blast 'em point blank with a shotgun. Most shotguns will knock them off their feet if you empty the whole thing into them while they're staggered from the melee. Then you just chuck a grenade or two on their chest and walk away.

I love the thumbnail that was absolutely amazing

This is amazing :D Seeing the death shots and being reminded its a dude in his boxers, so silly. There should be an option with Smasher to pop his head off and keep him alive in your apartment as a very angry bobble head.

I watched all of those streams yesterday just for you to drop the video today 💀😊

Fire (video)!I’m on my 2nd play through I’m currently 57hrs in just got done with all the gigs and shit all side stuff ahit was time consuming as fuck still haven’t started the dlc really looking forward to it also ain’t lying happy I saw your channel in my feed awhile ago.

Hey man, I just wanted to say I really appreciate your Cyberpunk content. I am unable to watch it since the release of Phantom Liberty, I'm waiting for my PC to be fixed so I can exprience it raw first time. Once that's done I can't wait to get through the backlog of vids! Keep up the good work.

This is a amazing accomplishment and atleast you were doing a challenge and weren't like me who forgot to buy any cyberwere for the whole game

I’m doing a Solid Snake build where the only Cyberware I use is the Optical Camo, Atomic Sensors, Synaptic Accelerator, Tyrosine Injector, and a Cyberdeck with only covert quick hacks. I use a Nue with the Pax mod which makes the gun non-lethal. When I reach max level I’ll make a video showcasing it. It’s really fun.

Hilarious thing is that i was just wondering if this was possible yesterday at work and today i see this video

love your vids so much! despite watching all of your challenge runs, i cannot recall if this has been done; pacifist run? no takedowns, not even non-lethal, with quickhacks to aid (distraction, etc)? not sure if it’s even doable, but it’s the first thought that came to mind :) keep up the great work, choom!

36:27 when you put it like that I dont blame him

i really liked that scene where smasher said "i will rip your brain from your skull"

I actually wanna do this too, as a Nomad, awesome!

I liked this run a lot I may try it for myself

V with no Cyberware and no perks or stats: Still one of the most dangerous things in Night City.

The sound of the baseball bat had me dying laughing for like 5 minutes and I don't know why 😂😂

This V during phantom liberty ending. Leave if you don’t wanna be spoiled…. Reed: I’m sorry V, but the operation took away your ability to use any and all combat cyberware. This V: …… that it? Reed: … Yeah. V: neat… Reed:… V, are you ok? You DO understand the gravity of the situation. Right? V: Understand what? That I can’t use my oh so precious cyberware I NEVER use? Reed:… well it’s also been 2 years- V: Preem. Can I go now? Reed: ugh. Sure, but I don’t reco- V: Finally. *try’s getting off bed only to trip and hit the floor.* Reed: … I’ll get you wheelchairs. V: No it’s fine. Just gotta let my limbs wake up a little. I’ll be walking out of here any minute now….. Reed: …. Alright then. Call me if you need anything. V: Oh and when you see Myers, tell her I said to go fuck herself! Worse possible surgery I ever been in! “Will take a week or something” my ass!

Ironically, this is how i did my first playthrough. No cyberware besides the kiroshis and the hand implant they make you get, which I then swapped for the tyger claws subdermal tat later on

Has the Slaught-O-Matic (or whatever the throwaway gun was called) been fixed yet? If yes, it might be worth reconsidering that challenge of using only that gun to beat the game.

That thumbnail with liver king. Im dead 😂☠️

You should have a death counter with these streams/videos. They're really entertaining but I always am curious about how much time it took or how many times you died

Sir John and widowmaker were the weapons I used during my first playthrough. They were just effective (I started playing after 2.0 so I don’t know how the game was before that). My approach was the noob approach who didn’t know any better and didn’t watch for tutorials online.

This was an interesting run

I was going to suggest this a few weeks ago :). Nice mind read. ;)

even with 2.0 and phantom liberty you can still get armor from clothing pieces but it's only from certain pieces that would be armored realistically like flak jackets

Do a Max Payne run where you can only fire in Kerenzikov mode. Bonus if you shuffle guns like you did in this run.

Can't run forever from Vik taking your eyes out and slicing your hand up

Insanely awesome 👌

im gonna have to try this im currently doing a 1hp melee/throwable run right now

V will go down as the legend of the Organic merc of night city, the oposite of Adam smasher, twice as deadly

Holy cyberware, holy Adam and this beautifull fat lady damage controll, i cant pass the game without dying every minute even with absolutly op netrunner build, with stupid tank build, but dude, you did it like this?! its just incredible.

Would be fun to see you do the game only using the SLAUGHT-0-MATIC XD Love you're challenge vid look forward to see more existing content keep up the good work

this is the true 'can i beat cyberpunk as a normal human' run

My guy literally went jetstream sam mode

Bro chose to be David against Goliath. And I loved it ❤

Wait how are getting quickhackedif theirs pretty much no tech in your body??? That's like tryna hack a rock or something lol!

“The indomitable human spirit build”

1:03:04 Smasher : I will rip your brain from your skull! Panam : Hell Yeah!! 😢

Now you gotta redo it with the 2.1 update that overhauls the bosses and makes them SIGNIFICANTLY harder lol

I love how the Royce deal mission is just "You choose the wrong establishment to conduct business in, fool!"

My first playthrough around a month ago involved very little cyberware. The few that I had was tier 2 and 3

I'm doing a similar run but with only human-related perks like better sneaking and body strength. Think Solid Snake - solid strength and dexterity, no cyberware augmentations. I see perks for the Body skill tree for example as perks of being in top condition (bigger muscles = more melee damage perk, for example - bit of role playing). However, I avoid any perks that break realism, like healing over time or healing per kill.

YEAHHH more cyberpunk runs :)

Itd be really funny to do a challenge where V is drunk the entire game. Youd probably need mods, especially if you want the challenge to be harder, but its probably doable.

this is like saying “can i beat call of duty without guns” 💀🙏

When I saw the phantom liberty ending I though: Meh, joke's on you CDPR, I'm sure V can still be a merc with no chrome and I bet you there are already runs on youtube of people with enough skills and patience to make it happen. And there you are!

such a underated youtuber best of luck to you

I feel bamboozled. He said no cyberwear and he was wearing Kiroshi the whole time

I did this on very hard as my first playthrough, extremelly fun, might try with cyberware next time

i had much difficulty with his camouflage and finding him so he kept regenerating which meant i went at the fight for 30 mins.. until for some reason he got stuck in the air near one of the spots u can climb and couldn't run anywhere

You may not have any cyberware but you've inhaled enough drugs (and probably burritos) to down an elephant

Still quite new with 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, I already know the endings cause I accidentally spoiled myself :| Im thinking of using a lot of cyberware that I never really used, anyway *HOLY MOLY 1 HOUR LONG???* Im in for a treat, Thanks AbraHamSandwich! High fives from the UK 🇬🇧

Just imagining that Florida Man energy through most of this playthrough.

Warrior monk. The coolest monks stay strapped.
