My Revised Gunslinger Build in CYBERPUNK 2.0 Phantom Liberty! 

I'm glad you didn't abandon one of your iconic original first build still remember watching your 1.5 Gunslinger build back in the day and happy to see it again at 2.0!

I subbed, because you explained attributes and perks so well. It's extremly helpful for new player like me and kinda rare on youtube to find a really good explanation.

I think this would work phantastically with Jackie's pistols. Equip both of them with silencers, keep swapping between them and if you can keep hitting consistent headshots you will never run out of ammo or even have to reload

I’m glad you made this because I tried out your first one in my second play through and had a lot of fun and I want to run this for my third playthrough

Well explained and quite various. Also i like your structure, no chaos, straight to the point. Great :)

Such clean and straight to the point builds! Love it 💪

Wooo I've been waiting for an upload about Cyberpunk from you!! Great videos!!

Thank you so much! I was having the hardest time like 24hrs in. CDPR didn’t really explain all the attributes that well. I’ve re-specd because of your video. Thank you!

Great build! I've been looking for a good build that uses the Sandi but every build guide I look at is melee focused. Very much looking forward to trying this!

Literally just found the channel and loved the video ❤ I normally play as a net stealth build and pistols etc when needed but lately I have tried this kinda build and really enjoying it and this video was a huge help !

I played a stealth netrunner pistol build on my first playthrough. Honestly pistols/revolver seem have the most unique, which make pistol builds very interchangeable with lots of different uniques.

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for. I lost my pistol build from last summer, and I needed to know how the new perks worked.

this build is awesome. My most recent one was a lmg, shotgun build and its so cool as well. just obliterating every enemy on dont fear the reaper is so satisfying.

Sick! My first RU-vid build was your 1.5 gunslinger. Excited to try this out.

Your information structure is exactly what I've been looking for among all the other character build videos. Thank you!

Thanks! Great video, this covers everything and is exactly the build I was looking for. I'm pretty new to Cyberpunk so I don't have much indepth knowledge on how to optimize a build by myself.

I’ve been using a similar build with the addition of throwing knives and it’s so much fun! Death and Taxes is my preferred pistol of choice, since the rework giving it a 2 round burst is absolutely busted for guaranteed critical headshots mid sandy. 10/10

Thank you! This was a very very good video! I look forward to more!!!

My first build circled around a full slow motion gunslinger type. It was so fun running circles around enemies blasting them in the head. I purposely left body low so i had to keep moving to survive

Such a great build like always i cant wait for your netrunner build because im curious how you approach it but first i need to end my katana build and dlc so yea i have alot time to spend before second playthrough 😂

Any tier 5++ power pistols are extremely viable in this playstyle if you stack two equilizers on them. I've tested this with the Nue, Liberty, and Unity and you can one shot near everything from stealth. Unity is my favorite, you lose a little damage but the faster rate of fire makes up for it when fighting boss level enemies that aren't gonna get one-shotted anyway.

Kudos to you for mentioning a Lexington pistol as a viable option in your build. So far every gunslinger is build is centered around Pride.

This is truly the equivalent of skyrims stealth archer of Cyberpunk XD

This is probably gonna be the build I run but I’ll run assault rifle perks over movement to make it more of a Mandolorian styled build with a handgun, sniper rifle and assault rifle. Definitely fun

I did 20 Body/20 Reflex/20 Tech/18 Cool/3 Int for my gunslinger build; LMG, Shotgun, and AR/SMG flex on third slot. 20 pointers go into LMG, Shotgun, AR/SMG whichever is equipped, Edgerunner ofc, and I chose to max out the grenade sub tree for maximum chaos. I highly recommend finding a T5++ MA70HB, Tactician, and Ajax with sufficient slots, and equipping each one with the automatic partial reload on weapon swap mod. Took awhile to get all the ingredients together, but weapon cycling as I move from target to target inside of sandevistan+kerenzikov has been really fun. Try it out! Only downside is essentially zero synergy with all the Relic perks besides the vulnerability spots.

Pretty excited for ur netrunner 2.0 since i loved the old 1

Yesss the builds are back! 😊

there's a smart SMG in PL with a sliencer and burst fire, that's pretty great to use for stealth also, since you can angle your weapon to make it curve the bullets and hit the target around the corner or whatever is blocking clear line of sight. and for most targets that burst is enough to kill in one go. for some heavier ones you might be able to land 2-3 burst fires (especially using slomo) shots to finish them off before alerting anyone.

I’m a brand new player and am really overwhelmed with the attribute and skill points. Your video helped a lot!!

Actually good to see people use hand guns with out some ridiculous massive scope on them. Your build is low profile and some what realistic. You'd be my go to if I was a Fixer needing a Solo/Techie

Great guide video, thanks. It's a really good build. My favorite way to play Cyberpunk is silence John Wick look style "Hitman" tech-hacker (intelligence cool and tech tree on 20 points) and My favorite pistol that I always try to get as fast as I can is "Seraph" (that awesome gun you can get from Padre as a gift when you finish all his gigs) I really like that one, especially with the silencer and Cool skill tree for pistols. The second best in my opinion is "Her Majesty" that beauty you get from Alex in PL DLC. For folk who like to use smart guns Genjiroh (the best version of HJKE-11 Yukimura, you can get better than skippy. and you can get up early to make a trip to North Oak Arasaka Villa when it is available to do that). And for tech gun "Lizzie". Greetings

I actually completed the game with a similar build back before 2.0, except I had a cyberdeck instead of a Sandevistan, with Overwatch and a silenced Crash for my weapons of choice. Initially it started out as a non-lethal stealth netrunner build, but later I got fed up with stealthing and chose to click heads instead. It's just so satisfying to one-shot every enemy during open combat.

was just thinking i need to look up a gunslinger build and boom, video posted. bless u toast man

I was so sad when I started a new game and revolver muzzle slots were gone. It definitely nerfs your damage but with the crafting changes its much easier to offset that damage difference by upgrading with the endless components available in game. I enjoy stealthy netrunner pistol assassin like this but I went with shotguns and katanas. The difficulty is a pretty drastic difference too especially with a certain boss that goes invisible.

Thanks! I'm considering skipping reflexes as in my experience jumping around in first person makes me more disoriented than a static NPC, but I will try

Raiju is great to use while driving, even for builds not specced into HGs/SMGs.

Thanks, was looking for a pistol build

I love this build thanks for the great video love yr style

Great build. I'm doing this for my 2nd playthrough

I love doing sidequests first so I haven't even looked for evelyn yet after meeting with takemura at the beginning of the game, and I am already done with this build roughly, apogee sandevistan and all lol. I love to use the seraphim iconic pistol till I can get rogues gun, it works super well for this build, especially when upgraded.

This is really cool. I'm working on a Shinobi build. Dashing and deflecting bullets feels good :D

Did I similar build my first 2.0. The pistol perks are CRAZY good.

love the video and the build, just thought i'd lyk, you can buy new iconic cyberware in dogtown, i'd love to see an updated build of whatever completely maxed out. Video is so well put togther fr

Basically did this on my first pl playthrough. I mean spies and stealth go hand in hand. Made some of the early bosses a pain in the ass. But might've been how I prioritized perks.

Interesting build, deffo wanna try it was wondering I’m a fully new player but does the life path make any difference or just pick anything

Might try this setup. Been doing a melee build but I do like using pistols and revolvers

Grinding out Phantom Liberty rn and we basically ended up with the same build lol. Cant wait to purchase the Apogee next

I actually avoid taking the points for slow mo during focus if i am using the apogee sandy, i find that there's a bit of an odd / buggy interaction when triggering a different slow down effect along side the sandy where it ends up functioning like kerenzikov where you're slowed down as well. Also some times (but more rarely) focus overrides sandy but the cool down on it is still ticking despite it not activating.

Just finished phantom liberty/2.0 and can break my youtube blackout now. I got a challenge build idea for you. Jetstream Sam from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. He is a samurai type character that is focuses on mobility and sword skills. The challenge part comes in with the fact that he has pretty much no cybernetics. In his prologue dlc he is completely human, in the main game just his right arm is cybernetic.

Blocked enough corpo channels that youtube is finally recommending me the good shit. Gonna binge your videos now 👌👌

I like how the build I am going for just happens to almost exactly match this build before I even watched this video.

probably the most fun build in the game, wish it had a pinch of netrunning for roleplaying reasons but i think you'd have to sacrifice too much to get it

Great video man! One question: do the reflexes perks at 2:05 actually work? I feel like I can do them even without the perks

Hey, love the build and your video,keep it up! I got some question for the build, if you don’t mind 1: Why use the Kerenzikov boost system if you don’t have a kerenzikov? Is it maybe because you just want more reflex Attuned cyberware or maybe it also work with other time slowing cyberware ? 2: You took the Cyborg perk but your a missing a cyberware in your frontal cortex, is it just a oversight or do you know if you only need all the cyberware in one category for it to work (Ex:all nervous system slot fill so bonus active only for those cyberware)

I love this type of build. There are other "more powerful" builds, but this is one that is my favorite to play for long runs. It is utterly OP when in stealth, but maintains a challenge when detected, which keeps it interesting. I love netrunning or being a cyber-ninja, but both of these are almost too powerful, and you can annihilate crowds of people or bosses with relative ease. The gunslinger will still punish the player during combat if they miss their headshots, whereas you can't miss with hacks, and it really isn't applicable when activating Sandevistan and slashing away with katanas.

Hello! Looks amazing. Is it Hardcore?

In the Technical tree, if you refund Driver Update, it does actually get rid of that 3rd modifier to your cyberware until you put the perk back on. I was curious about this also, and looked at my currently equipped Cyberware with it both toggled on and off.

Great build guide 👏 One thing I'd live CDPR to do is add the ability to reset attributes more than once.

Funny how both of us went for pretty much the exact same build (just minor tweaks) ^^

I kinda agree that tech ability can wait, but getting cyberware even early game is not a problem, because you just have so much money now. In my 2.0 run, I sold my first inventory load of weapons outside the no tell motel after the heist, so it was all the guns from all foods, some scanner hustles, and konpeki. I made a good 13k off that alone. Combined with Meredith's 10k, I had enough money saved to pay Rogue, AND pay off my debt to Viktor. Earlier I had joked that now I wouldn't have to pay off his debt because I don't need the Falcon sandy, but I did it anyway because I ran out of things to spend money on. My biggest, and mostly only expense throughout the game was cyberware, as I'd buy new stuff instead of upgrading them, and spend it on my iconics. Also, would the Axolotl help here? You can get it in Dogtown, but I've heard it's Regina's reward for finishing her gigs, so it's accessible to everyone.

Note, Liberty is a weaker pistol than the Tamayura and the Nue. Whichever one you can get as 5++ use that. Nue 5++ will deal 110hp suppressed

Ah yes. Gunlinger.

One thing I hope for a dlc is prob some focused on the cyberspace, we always hear about it and how dangerous it is. Granted idk if it would make sense story wise to have V inside the cyberspace like a new playable area, I was thinking while inside they can use the Blackwall powers like in one of the endings

Great vid! This is the stuff that got me to sub in the first place! Man.. every game that does major patches I always say the same thing.. Patch, Balance, Add.. but don't remove things.. I was on playthrough 4 (pre-2.0) and all 4 playthroughs i still use a silencer on revolver and it's my fav thing.. So of course they remove it.. Ah well, what you can do? Also maybe a modder will add it back anyway, balance be damned ;)

Where did you get the xc-10 strix silencer? I was told only 1 legendary silencer was in game, the xc-10 cetus. Excellent, to the point presentation, thx. o/

I picked up Plan B kind of early in my run and have been using it all the way. I am level 53 currently.

Hey man great video, but I'm wondering whether or not it's still fine if I replace the sandevistan with a cyberdeck? What do you think?

Glad to see that you did end up discovering the power of Pride, even if you kinda discarded my recommendation on your first stream before trying it...

My go to gunslinger build that made the game be very easy on very hard mode and made me kill all mac tac members relatively easy include: doom doom, ol reliable and hypercritical.

There a chance we can see what the outfit you've chosen is?? Looks really cool.

I was waiting for your video since DLC premiere

Have you tried Archangel you get from Kerry? I couldn't find anything better, and I missed the opportunity to get Amnesty, so I couldn't compare them, but Archangel was giving me 3k+ headshot damage after the first kill. It was easily 3 shotting mechs on their highlighted weakspots, everything else 1 shotting in combat, 2 shotting skulls I think, all on very hard. On top of that damage, it's got a built in stun while holding the trigger, and one of the fastest revolver reloads. I've since switched to a knife throwing build, which is INSANE! But I just couldn't switch off of the Archangel when I was using handguns.

Yooooooo just stumbled on the Raiju quest accidentally and almost pooped my pants at the boat.

I need a video on making a technical intelligence body build pretty please with sparkle on top

Removing muzzle attachments, especially silencers, from revolvers makes sense if you know anything about revolvers in real life. My current playthrough is a Gunslinger, but I'm not going stealth, just straight run'n'gun. My pistol of choice is the fully upgrade La Chingona Derada (Rest in Peace, Jackie). And the stats have definitely been boosted in 2.0, as the damage is better than either of the revolvers, at least for an equal tier non-iconic version. It's also slightly better than Johnny's Malorian 3516.

Next build idea: Tank/hammer/gorrila fist build. Its so fun with max body, you just barrel through enemies.

i really love gunslinger

This is just like my build too!

I was sad because I wanted to do a build like this but I wasn't aware of how the game plays in 2.0. but what's funny is that I coincidentally speced my attributes perfectly for this and now I can just refund the perks and respec lol

G U N L I N G E R 🗿🙏🏽🏃🏽‍♂️

I have a great idea for a challenge run, what if you try to make it through the game without using any drugs or alcohol so that would mean like no heals no buffs or you could do a completely organic challenge run so no cybernetics other than the ones forced on u

I had a build similar to this back before when you were able to put muzzles on most revolvers and at the time i was doing like 15 million damage and abusing sand, but now since coming back, im lacking so much damage and all my skill points were reset and mechanics are different which is upsetting

Rogue’s pistol, in my experience, is far and away the best stealth pistol. It comes with the caveat of having to beat the game first, but my second run of PL was on a character that I’d beat the game with, and Rogue’s gun was my main pistol the entire time. It can one shots skull enemies because of its perk with Deadeye and Focus active. And it has a high headshot bonus damage percentage. It’s kinda ridiculous.

What outfit pieces are you using?

Handguns are best and fun build ever ❤️❤️🐐🐐👌👌

what are starting attribute points at character creation for your build?

How do u get the tier 5 version of the XC-10 Strix silencer? Have done bunch of the DLC airdrop events and vehicle delivery. I have being getting every other silencer just not Strix.

Is Reed's pistol worth it with the Tech perks? (Without chain lightning for stealth, obviously)

I've tried so many different builds in this game. My favorite is still the Gunslinger/Hitman. I tend to build harder into body for all the Adrenaline upgrades, though. It's not like I'm struggling with stamina, anyway.

I love the build! But ive been searching for the XC-10 STRIX Silencer for a very long time now and i just cant find it. Ive even tried finding a console command for it but there is none. Please let me know where you found this.

If you remove the perk for extra stat modifier on cyberware you lose the last line on your cyberware so you need to keep it.

Skippy keeps me company.

I just finished my first playthrough of the game and have no idea how you got so much money and levels. Do you just keep playing a lot after the credits? What is there to do afterwards? I’m gonna play it again a couple more times so I was really hoping for new game plus.

I completely missed the fact we can switch perks around whenever we want! XD Personally, I'm not a fan of the new perks - too much active stuff for my poor brain to keep track of, and most of them trigger off things that I don't do too often when playing. Netrunner builds look like they're all about combos and planning now - another thing my poor brain isn't too good at. Cyberpunk for me is a kind of melancholy happiness now. Not the game for me anymore, but really awesome to see folk so excited for it all over again. :)

Im currently trying a sniper build with tech snipers and its alotbof fun and rewarding

is deep field interface worth it? most of the time pistols can't shoot that far

Rosco and Ol' Reliable also are 2 OP Revolvers

Just wondering how to get the cool attuned stuff my cool is above reflex’s and I met the level requirement

Where do you get that tactical looking gear?

what's the point of Pride? the only way to get it is at the very end? Unless there's a new way to get it way earlier.
