Thank you for this. Literally from top to bottom, this is what I was looking for. I wanted a stealth samurai/netrunner/pistol or sniper rifle (same skill tree) build & I found the perfect one. I can't wait to try out 2.0 with this build.
This looks fun but after playing a pure hacking build, I can't play any other way. Hacking is overpowered, no other builds can kill as many as quick. Can kill 10+ guys at the same time in 1 second if you want.
Try out a shotgun build with Guts, I played netrunner builds for years, but tried shotty for the first time after PL hit and it's been so refreshing. With Mitigation and Adrenalin stacking, I can just run into a space packed with enemies and mow them all down in total chaos. I tried running a Sandy with this, but it just made it feel too easy so I went back to my Paraline to help with car delivery missions and it just feels like a great balance now.
Mate, this is totally awesome. Your playstyle and showing your build in one complete video is gold. I'm playing pretty the same style, but you've done far way better. I really enjoyed it, thank you, you're awesome!
@@suntzuishere what difficulty are you playing on because on very hard when I alert a single enemy like you did multiple times everybody in the area is alerted and you aren't getting stealth kills anymore.
Thoughts on using the Errata instead of Byakko for bosses? Can pop Overheat + other quick hacks on the boss for guranteed crits from the Errata, and can potentially replace the crit chance optic for Revulsor, letting you trigger a mini Sandevistan effect every time you get low from popping quick hacks in overclock.
gorilla arms for beat up homeless man.. jk u can save one strong enemy and beat the shit out him or cyberpsycho u can beat it without killing it and NCPD for talent 🤣 like shinobi for headshot knife/gun.. camera for tech talent been awhile since i play i forget talent name
They add almost similar value, but pistol have more forgiving window. Because when you miss, you still can follow up with another shot before the enemy found out. Not only that, pistol has more range than knife. That being said, knife is better when you're not in stealth mode, because you can use it for melee combat and also have a leap finisher that is quite helpful when getting surrounded. But yeah, if you want to stay in stealth mode and happen to use a katana or other melee weapon as well, knife is basically just for a style point.
Sorry, I lied that was not all I was gonna say... Question, since you've done both... Which do you prefer? Ninja with sandy or cyberdeck? I'm torn between the two =/
In terms of damage, would you switch the agaou for a legendary basic knife? It has a 200% headshot multiplier. If you mod it you can do the zero-g and the one where it gives 100% crit chance and 50% dmg if crouched and undetected
I don't know for sure, but i've tried it. And i feel like consistently Agaou put more dps than the regular knife (legendary). Probably caused by the additional electroshock damage and armor penetration passive. But maybe i haven't tried it properly.
The weapon? if you want to implement stealth from the start, I'm suggesting playing with any throwing knives and pistol with silencer attachment and also buying optical camo cyberware. As for early attributes, go with cool and tech first, after that you can decide whether to optimize your hacking with int or sword combat with reflex.
@@suntzuishere I have a build with Agaou without sandevistan. Maybe berserk is good with throwing weapons. Thx for your answer. Axolotl ( -12.5 % cooldown when ennemy neutralize ) work with any exploitation system ? For example axolotl with sandevistan.
Knives in melee are a bit weak. With the juggler perk, all throwing weapons are returned on headshots or kills with poison or critical. I just throw constantly, aiming for the head to keep knives in stock. No melee necessary. The cool tree does have some finishers for throwing weapons that might satisfy melee cravings.
You can get iconic legendaries starting level 45, but it's a low chance. As you move towards 60 the occurrence gets higher and higher. Found my iconic apogee sandy at lvl 47 behind a tech req door, first iconic quickhack in the low 50s from hacking a computer. I don't spec into Int at all, so you could probably find iconic quickhacks earlier, I just can't use most endpoints.
Unless you're specifically building for the arm (projectile/tech or monowire/int) gorilla arms is BiS due to the strength bonus it gives (+6 to checks at epic rarity). If you have 20 body, and are going the blades route and have PL DLC, it could be worth switching over to mantis blades for its gap closer relic ability. Otherwise, going the blades route, katana is better in pretty much every way, and has a gap closer with the Thunderclap and Flash skill.

this was sick and enjoyable to watch, subbed :)
Thanks for the sub!

My grandma loves this build!

interesting
00:18 Head vrs Sand and the sand wins 🤣🤣🤣
What’s the point of the gorilla arms? Just curious, is it purely for the door opening buff?
for style

Im new to cyberpunk. Does the pistol offer anything different from throwing knife or just whatever you feel like using,

Question, since you've done both...
Which do you prefer? Ninja with sandy or cyberdeck?
I'm torn between the two =/
i like cyberdeck more, cause you can be more creative
Waaaait, how do you have two head pieces? I'm only allowed the optic slot :O
it was a story item, not relevant to the build
My only question, can I substitute the pistol with a sniper rifle?
yes
@@suntzuishere I asked that before I found out I can’t silence the rifles so I guess pistols it is lol.

especially when you hit the other body part
@@suntzuishere makes sense with the additional stats of the agaou with the armor pen and shock dmg doing more to bosses so I'll stick with the agaou!
@@suntzuishere i dont feel like rushing the main story for the "pride" silenced pistol so whats the next best one you can get?
@@zFrenzyy310 nue or tamayu legendary can be a good option, or chingo pisol
What should I use to start out from the beginning to start the build?
The weapon? if you want to implement stealth from the start, I'm suggesting playing with any throwing knives and pistol with silencer attachment and also buying optical camo cyberware. As for early attributes, go with cool and tech first, after that you can decide whether to optimize your hacking with int or sword combat with reflex.
Do you have a link or cheat sheet of progression for this build?
No hehe
Any alternative for the agaou? Since i dont have the phantom liberty dlc
regular legendary knife is pretty deadly
Kerenzikov work with melee weapons finally ?
no, i use it for the pistol
@@suntzuishere I have a build with Agaou without sandevistan. Maybe berserk is good with throwing weapons. Thx for your answer. Axolotl ( -12.5 % cooldown when ennemy neutralize ) work with any exploitation system ? For example axolotl with sandevistan.
This is a tight build. But Could you skip the Katana and just use Throwing Knives/Axes as they can be used both as melee and range?
You could, but not going to be as stable as katana for melee combat
Knives in melee are a bit weak. With the juggler perk, all throwing weapons are returned on headshots or kills with poison or critical. I just throw constantly, aiming for the head to keep knives in stock. No melee necessary. The cool tree does have some finishers for throwing weapons that might satisfy melee cravings.
How did you get iconic hacks?
it's kinda random, sometimes you found it on the shop, sometimes you found it from loot, or even crafting
You can get iconic legendaries starting level 45, but it's a low chance. As you move towards 60 the occurrence gets higher and higher.

What's the use of the gorilla arms in this build? @suntzuishere
nothing XD, u can use other things as well
