Best builds in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

The expanded Build Planner in Cyberpunk 2077 features the skill tree from the base game as well as the Relic tree introduced in Phantom Liberty, which enables lethal finishers and maximizes the power of V’s cybernetic implants making them a force to be reckoned with.

Here’s what each of these builds offer.

Bullet Time Ninja

Bullet-Time Ninja is one of the quickest builds in Cyberpunk 2077, making optimum use of the reflexes attributes in your skill tree and unleashing the full power of your Katana and melee weapons. Using the relic tree in Phantom Liberty, you can activate lethal finishing moves for weapons such as the Mantis Blades, which allow you to charge them and leap to hard-to-reach foes to slash them.

The build also enables you to block and deflect gunfire with your katana and swiftly dash toward the enemy to execute a lethal slash. You can activate the Bullet-Time Ninja build in the game by assigning your perks and attribute points by referencing the Build Planner preset on the official site.

Hack & Slash Netrunner

In Cyberpunk 2077, you can select Hack & Slash Netrunner if you like to use fast hacks and then easily decapitate your opponents. With the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty expansion, you can use multiple quickhacks on the same enemies consecutively to annihilate them and all nearby threats.

The DLC increases your RAM memory and recovery rate, allowing you to unleash your inner ultimate Netrunner and effortlessly hack a large number of enemy groups and mechs during intense combat. You can also hack and detonate vehicles to utilize environmental objects to your advantage.

However, if you choose, you can also close in and use your now-more-powerful monowire to slit your enemies to bits. You can activate the Hack & Slash Netrunner build in the game by assigning your perks and attribute points by referencing the Build Planner preset on the official site.

Savage Slugger Solo

Savage Slugger Solo enables you to unleash your inner ruthless brawler and close in on your opponents with heavy melee weapons, such as the Hammer. You can rush in to push back your enemies, use the Quake perk to stomp on them like Thor, or even lift them up and toss them at other players to eliminate them.

Using your Gorilla Arms implant, you are now able to crush enemies with a single blow, thanks to the relic tree finisher. Additionally, you can use lethal shotguns to eliminate multiple enemies in one shot.

You can activate the Savage Slugger Solo build in the game by assigning your perks and attribute points by referencing the Build Planner preset on the official site.
