I just realized, placide may be the smartest (and most annoying) enemy in the entire game, uses a sandy so you gotta get close to damage him, but also has a shotgun so if you do actually get close to him you'll get blown in half like Johnny back in '23
Or do what i did and play "the floor is lava, the walls and ceiling are shrapnel and the air is poison".
Just used a tech precision rifle and shot placide thru the wall.
@@ByteSizedGamer I don't like using tech weapons, they feel weird
I usually spam grenades from the top of the train near the exit.
I always just one tap him through the wall with Comrades Hammer. Games so insanely easy with ping and tech weapons.
Do a run where you just enjoy the game.
I actually really enjoy doing all of these!
@@abrahamsandwich i expected you to just say “no”
Bro needs sleep... Feels like he's becoming a cyberpsycho chooms
That's real fucking gonk
You think he plays this game to have fun?
Gordon finally snapped after trying the pizza from Buck-A-Slice.
That tofu tuna pineapple pizza finally triggered him!
@@abrahamsandwich wait what
@a average weeb it’s in the game! 🤌🏻
Me genuinely tweaking after drinking the Buck-A-Slice coffee
I really like these videos. It's not about making it as difficult as possible, it's about how far you can push one fighting style.
Good to know!
Not even necessarily a fighting style. It's more about fully exploring the absolute limits of the game's creative freedom by artificially imposing a focused and unique restriction. Think of the permadeath run, for example. "permadeath" kinda has to exclude the end of Act I, but otherwise, yeah it's totally possible. You're right that the key element is pushing the restriction as far as possible, because this approach tests both the player and the game. Speed runs are basically one very specific version of this. It's also the most likely way to discover unexpected (and potentially hilarious) edge-case experiences.
honestly i think that is one of the big things as to why ymfah has such status in the challenge run community, his videos arent just struggling for the point of a challenge, its about setting rules for a run and seeing how op you can get within those boundries
thats usually way more entertaining to watch than just sitting there while some guy wails on a boss with 1 damage weapons for 3 hours or smth
When i found the quick retrieve mod for throwing knives, i couldn't resist doing a warp dancer throwing knife build. Even without a sandevistan, being able to pepper everyone with blades every 2 seconds is an immensely fun way to play.
Pretty sure the legendary punknife recovered even faster too.
Yeah the punk knife is the best for recovery! It’s a lot of fun!
where is the quick retrieve mod?
@@ultrawaveyt5582 Faster Throwing Knife Recovery and Projectile Velocity on the nexus
You don't need a mod legendary knives auto retrieve in 3 seconds that give you enuf time to throw both extras by the time the 2nd leaves your hand the 3rd has returned. Allowing you to repeat the process using sandy until room is dead
@@nikolaineverdie7135 Juggler returns knives on headshots so there shouldn't be a problem with that
Smasher mentioning Rogue makes perfect sense. For the secret ending you are required the Ebunike. The old stomping ground of smasher. That's why he knows of your connection to Rogue.
True!
I think it's because Smasher thinks anyone in NC who would be bold enough and have the skills and connections to stage another assault on Arasaka directly like this must know Rogue, since she's the only remaining member of the '23 assault she would be an obvious person to contact for someone looking to do something similar. Also, it seems like they have some kind of score to settle, possibly something to do with the short time they worked together after '23.
I HAD NO IDEA THEY COUNTED AS BLADES!!! That’s sooo broken. I love this game so much because it’s not afraid to be generous with buffs and such, best power fantasy
"Struggle if you wish!" Says adam smasher who now has knife handles for eyes
so satisfying to not only see someone else encounter the fan UFO glitch, but also try to jump on it for a while just like I did 😂 great vid
Haha I finally landed in the fan too in one of my runs! 🤘🏻
Man, even though I haven't played Cyberpunk for like 3-4 month, every video you release about it just makes me wanna play it again. And as I saw your videos when I started my first playthrough, every video also brings the nostalgia of the moments when everything was new and every single minute spent in game was a new discovery. Makes me wanna lose my memory about the game and play it from scratch again. Thanks for your vids. They make me feel good every time.
I get that same feeling all the time! The first time playing it was so fun and interesting!
This was the run I was excited for, and it's just as satisfying as I was hoping. Kudos.
Was wondering if you’re planning on doing more Cyberpunk 2077 build videos. Always fun to play around with different builds especially ones from your channel. With that said, you deserve so much more views for the quality of content that you bring.
Thanks man! I kinda ram out of builds I wanted to make so I’m jot site right now 🤷🏻♂️maybe with the dlc something new and cool will have me make another!
That Royce fight really went well, I was expecting this one to not only take a while but be painful, really surprised. In patch 1.3 I had a knife & hacker build, was so much fun, but not managed to get anything like it in 1.6. This build of yours looks like a nice candidate.
I did my first ever playthrough with stealth throwing knives, thankfully I started just after the update that let us recover them. Had a ton of fun doing it this way, completely forgot about quick hacking that run lol
Gordon Ramsey after chewing five gum
i think he knows rogue is in cahoots with you because rogue is the one who tracks down hellman for you and also if you do johnny sidequests, she comes with you to kill grayson, so he defs knows she is somewhat involved
also love the vids, all the cyberpunk challenge runs are super fun
Changing the type of combat you play in different parts of the game could be fun. Ex. stealthy in Act 1, blades in Helman's arc, pistols in Takemura's... Kinda like a skill-upgrade run now that I look at what I wrote
After watching that long Adam smasher fight. It would be really nice if his last phase is that a container appears in some way, his lackeys show up, and he gets a new prototype body or something from that container and regens a quarter of his health instead of V bullying Adam Cripple. Gives the sensation of "You tried, but i'm just better" when you finally kill him.
Yeah. The fact his fight goes from Hard to Easy towards the end.
When his nervous system is that damaged and beat up I don't think it's that easy to just plop his head on another body, you need full on surgery for that
Always love watching your challenge runs. And the way you become hung up on little things, like in some of the first ones where you always played Roach Race, or commented on Yorinobu and Saburo's tap dance off. And this one, with the random ceiling fan loading in at the raffen shiv ambush section, hilarious. Keep up the great work!
Throwing knives are so fun... After putting in some practice, getting used to the mechanics, they are my go to in my melee builds early game. Can't get the monowire for a while but I can throw knives real quick!
And love the @gordonramsay direction you went!
Really looking forward to your phantom liberty play through when it comes out man. Exceptional Content as always
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Beat this run myself a while ago minus combat encounter totality.
Also, the song slaps to hell and back my man, great job.
Yo thanks! Glad you like the song!
These types of runs are my favourite. They’re not hard just for hard sake, they require a certain set of skills, and at the end, turn out pretty powerful
As a ps4 player, it's very refreshing to see a youtuber playing 1.0. I can't even find a wiki page that covers 1.0 anymore
I freaking love this run. Rewatching it again just because.
Abra you've made my evening, I hope you will make more cyberpunk challange videos, looking forward to it champ
Definitely got more to come!
your special runs are mad fun, got 300 hrs in cyberpunk myself and its amazing how many ways there are to play this game and still have fun. thanks for your vids choom and i hope there will be more to come, especially with new things to try and do with 2.0 and phantom liberty!
I always get thrown for an absolute loop when I'm watching these pre-2.0 videos and see the old perk screens. Oh man.
7:40 omg that was amazing.
Excellent video btw, I’m loving these.
Thanks man! That original video is crazy!
NO WAY YOU ONLY HAVE 28.6K SUBS. NOWAY. I THOUGHT YOU HAD MILLIONSS. Alr Ima sub you deserve it
Yo thank you! I appreciate it man! 🤘🏻
Fun trick for eddies. You need any scrap item or any item that you can have multiple in a stack of i.e. grenades, maxdocs, bounce backs, craft materials. Go to a random vendor select your item for sale and sell all but one of that item while holding the item selection button. On xbox controller for example press A to select item, set the number of items to sell at 1 below your total amount, hover your cursor above the selected inventory item while holding a, confirm sale with x, the select quantity menu pops up again and you select your max quantity and boom. Duplicated item and eddies. System doesn't recognize the items as being real in this menu so you buy it all back at a profit and repeat for free money or whatever. Used it to dupe mk.3 maxdocs at level 2 as well as all my crafting materials then used scrap item duplication for all the eddies I could squeeze out of the vendor. Any scrap item will do but the higher the value the less work you have to go through

These are great videos! One possible run suggestion would be a full non-lethal stealth run (well as much as possible). You can use quickhacks and any weapons you chose but can't use the cyberware that makes all your attacks non-lethal as that would just trivialize everything. Also goal is to be as stealthy as possible, ideally never be seen but I understand there are parts where that isn't really achievable.
I mean I a did a pacifist run 🤷🏻♂️
As someone who only has ever played after 2.0, seeing pre-patch Cyberpunk is always like looking into an alternate universe. It’s so interesting honestly
Same here
The rules actually have a good fun/challenge feel to them. I did my (so far the only) playthrough with a stealth pistol + additional nethacks build, which became OP in a way that may've tilted towards unfun, and watching your vid sold me on making a variation of your rules for the next playthrough.
Except I'll allow melee with katanas and batons (the latter for quest-related non-lethal neutralization). In the very least because parts like 17:20 would be too frustrating.
I'm sure you've noticed by now and it may have changed since the ps4 version is stuck on 1.6, but bodyshots with thrown knives won't immediately kill. Headshots absolutely do, but I've tossed knives at just about everything else and it consistently works.
I did this too on my run, It was a ton of fun and the best time I had in cyberpunk, just barely beating my snipers only run. Love seeing you have fun.
These videos make me want to fire up cyberpunk just to remember pulling out my monowire makes my game drop to -5fps. So basicaly thankyou for giving me an outlet to live through vicariously
Oof yeah that would suck.
Cyberpunk 2077 but you ARE Keanu Reeves
Seems like the fan is still in the correct place inside the building, but its blades are shifted so the fan spinning makes them fly in circles.
That would be the same as a character with one of the body parts shifted somewhere, when that character turns that one part will circle around because it has to stay on the same side at all times.
I think I've seen this before not with body parts but guns.
Throwing knives are honestly the most satisfying weapon to use in the game. Or well, the top one spot belongs to using savage sling to throw people off of high places and onto the cars below. So the top second spot.
My favourite build in this game is 3 throwing knives + Mantis Blades. So satisfying.
The stinger knife you get from the scorpion quest w/ Mitch is awesome for this build, sence it makes it so your constantly getting your bleeding and poison effects. Both of which are essential to your build.
Yes and no. In 10s to 20s, sure, bleed and poison can make a little bit of difference (you see a drop off in the 20s), but by lvl 30s onward doing any sort of bleed or poison damage becomes useless because your damage output by that point is so high--you're essentially one-shotting every mook you come across (regardless of difficulty) and bosses seldom last long enough for bleed or poison to really matter as well. The most effective high Cool/Reflex knife builds (and katana/mantis builds) wind up ignoring perks or anything to do with bleed or poison for that reason, and focus mainly on high crit and/or damage output and not even concern themselves with knife return times, because so long as you jamming out crits, it's going automatically come back to you thus the return time for the knife no longer factors. The youtuber Benjamin_Winters www.youtube.com/@benjamin_winters does a lot of knife builds as well, the knives typically used wind up having high return times, but get ignored because of high crit output so its repeatedly being returned back to hand instantly.
@@Apillis124 Isn't bleed damage dependent on the max HP of the enemy? It's still added damage regardless.
Ever since I did the Arisaka tower mission and got the throwing knife off of the old mans dead body I've mained them as a weapon, I had no idea you could stack throwing knives to avoid the long recharge times tho, I will absolutely be doing that now lol
wanted to thank you for giving me the idea to do something like this! It's not a challenge run, but I'm doing a throwing knife build for fun and so far it's crazy fun!!
The flames don’t even recognize the moment they were extinguished- DIO AKA Gordon Ramsay
We need a new version of this after all of the updates and iconic knives added
Throwing knifes only is actually my second run and its a blast (and extremely broken). Honestly the design of the game makes it so that you are broken by the time you hit any skill tree at 20
Man, I didn't even know Matilda's health regen could be disabled, I just murked her as a Netrunner with Overheat and Short Circuit
You should revisit this, Throwing Knife builds are now basically hyper-aggressive Skyrim stealth archers
Throwing knife + apogee sandevistan = overpowered
so the dodge slow down with the knife throw, "you were expecting gordon ramsey but no, it was me DIO!!"
My favourite part of Cyberpunk lore is when the Gordon Ramsay construct got put in a new body and then raided Arasaka Tower in search of the lamb sauce
He need the lamb sauce!
33:24 something about the white jacket really sold it to me that this was Gordon Ramsey flying through the world throwing chefs knives at people
Tip for matilda you can steal her hammer (at the corner across from the one you enter from) and then sneak up to sneak attack, much like the mech cyber psychos this disables healing and cuts out 25% of her health, fight is a cakewalk after
17:09 Blud thinks he's Neo 💀
That dodge was disrespectful.
i'm only in the middle of the video, but...
pro tip for throwing knives: the rarity and model of knives affects the throw cooldown. the punknife for example have a base cooldown of 4s and it goes down to 2s when legendary. this means if you got 3 of them you literally never have to wait to throw them.
Oh I know but would Gordon use anything other than a chef’s knife?
@@abrahamsandwich a chef's kiss?
7:38 made me laugh, good shit bro
The original video is something else!
Bold of Arasaka to cross a knife chucking maniac with MANY KNIVES
Don't even really need to watch the vid' in order to answer the vid title question, which is yes, yes, you can. Throwing knives with a high Cool and Reflex (which knives benefit from as a blade weapon, and also you want Reflex for other reasons as well in a knife build), is my favorite build to playthrough--I usually have 2 knives equipped w/ a katana "just in case" but even so rarely ever use it, only when I "feel like" doing a bit of slice and dice. The high crit' damage of throwing knives ensures you don't need pistols for a close range stealth headshot option, and so long as you get a critical you're going to automatically have your knife in your hand, so headshots for days--hell, you eventually reach a point where you don't even need stealth around at all. Go highspeed build with... take your pick of Sands... and you can pin-cushion anything and anyone with ease at 30+ regardless of difficulty.
Throwing knives are my favorite combat style as well. Thank you for showing me they were a viable main style.
hey abrahamsandwich just want to say thanks for giving me the motivation to carry on with youtube your videos help alot
Happy to hear that!
Nice run, although Gordon Ramsay would've called smasher a f*cking donkey😂
Facts haha!
I have 300 hours in the game and just learned you can use throwing knifes. The more you know
I did something similar in the newest patch (2.1 at time of writing), and got some nice results. especially since i specced into headshot multipliers and stealth damage, throwing knives were a staple choice for me. not a purely knife run but it was amazing.
The quick Gordon Ramsey clips are pure gold
I just did a run with throwing knives and quickhacks only. It’s super op. Hit them with an overheat or synapse burn out and finish them off with a throwing knife. Pair it with the optical camo cyber ware, did perfect stealth for almost every mission and encounter.
Also the Punkknife sold by coach has a 2sec return. Practically spammed throwing knives.
Sounds fun!
@@abrahamsandwich it was till around level 40 when I had 20 in intelligence and a simple short circuit fried every enemy instantly lol.
"Kitchen Nightmares" showed us that Gordon Ramsey is one of the most lethal human beings on earth, so I am not surprised by this outcome. What DID surprise me, is the fact that Placide (undisputed number one a-hole of Cyberpunk) comes with a sandy. I always sneaked up on him and broke his neck when I made an "anti-pacifica"-run. Looking forward to the basic netrunner playthrough, that sounds interesting.
I JUST got off from my first real play through and just discovered the joy of corpo three knife man insanity (and just how OP it is with headshots and stealth.)
The speedy bois who can dodge just gets the quick hacks blind and then quietly CIA’d
A run without avoiding taking damage. Basically walking tank run.
You have to go through the game without intentionally avoiding damage, walk toward every enemy no intentional cover just Bee line to each enemy. You have to mitigate damage and overpower to survive.
I was thinking of doing an overweight run! Same kinda idea I think 🤷🏻♂️
@@abrahamsandwich Kinda! I dunno if being forced to walk everywhere would be as fun lmao.
I got the idea from Bushy's elden ring run which was to prove you could beat the game without using any dodging mechanics or learning boss patterns.
32:40 Car: "I must go, my people need me."
My first thought when this idea for a run came up was a DIO run where you fuck around with a sandevistan as well as throwing knives.
Imagine being the sniper that gets countered sniped with a throwing knife by someone bunny hopping everywhere
Did this for fun on my first run of the game, literally doing 50k+ damage a hit and was wild
I love how your gameplay for the ending is just ZA WARUDO and knives everywhere
nice vid man! enjoyed it as always, glad youtube put you in my recommended
Man this would have been the perfect opportunity to use the Stinger knife but the roleplay is also nice
Fun thing if you manage to hit an enemies arm with a throwing knife you will actually force them to resort to their pistol due to well breaking one of their arms
I had the Katana/Throwing knife build with Sandevistan in my second playthrough since my stats were fucked up in my first that I just went pistol and rifle. It was a fun build although there were some hiccups along the way, especially during Adam Smasher fight.
It's very satisfying to land a headshot with throwing knife.
Then I went for netrunner build on my 3rd. People died before they even see me.
Netrunners are crazy good!
Dayum and bro did this all without any of the Unique knives. Hats off to you man
If someone told me that Placide is harder than Oda I would laugh. But then I saw this video
At 41:24 you question why he mentions Rouge. He knows that we have the chip, he's been working with arasaka so its safe to assume he would know sort of.
Christ on a stick throwing knifes are more op than I thought. Great challenge video. Hope you do challenges that are builds from other game characters or people in like. Like Joshua Graham.
I allways found it weird that Smasher can't keep up with our Sandevistan, specially after watching edgerunners.
First video of yours I've seen, and you already earned my subscription with that Naruto reference
Filet-O decapita-o is on the menu tonight with this run.
I did a sandevistan run with only knives, I couldn’t help but yell ZA WARUDO every time I activated it
Royce be like: "I once was an adventurer like you, but then I took a throwing knife to the knee.." :D
😂
bro first time finding ur channel. u have a funniness and charisma that is special. cheers mate lol
Yo thanks! 🤘🏻
The orbiting fan thing. Yeah, I've gotten that a couple times, sometimes it will go away if you re-load, and other times after you jump-start the power but I've also had it hang around forever.
My first play was a mixed bag of everything.
2nd one was hacking, 3rd was knives only, 4th was nanowire, 5th (2.0) was revised hacking and my 6th right now is katana/knife with no chrome other than the starting eyes and grip. The Chimera was the insanity of juking and avoiding stomps/poison clouds.
I'm going to take a break after this play with 747 hours currently. I think my next I will do a Gorilla arms only build and I hope Orion will be much closer to release.
0/10 Gordon Ramsay is so much more a nomad than a corpo imo, he's travelled around so much taking in and learning various foods and cultures
Bro got infinite ammo💀🙏 Enemies:Lord have mercy on🙏🙏🙏🙏💀
I have over 200 hours in cyberpunk and I legit didn't know it was possible to throw knives
yes you can, prior to the knife patch about a year ago it wouldn't have been possible but now, easy as pie, it's quite strong
Yeah probably would have been a lot harder.
This would be very interesting after 2.0
as annoying enemies with sandy are if YOU have sandy and time slowdown you feel like a god
Smasher commenting on Rogue: they worked together for a while, long ago. He knows her connection to Johnny and that you have Johnny's engram. That alone could make him link you to Rogue. But also, he most certainly has footage on what happened on the Ebunike, where he might have seen you and Rogue together.
Bro the ceiling fan thing had me laughing my ass off.
Throwing knifes, what that third weapon slot is for.
Throwing knifes are really really strong. I've done this type of run before.
Bro I would have been playing with that glitching ceiling fan for hours lmao
Oh trust me, I edited it down for a reason haha!
