In this part of the video, the focus is on the variety of cyber decks available in Cyberpunk 2077 and how each can be utilized to create unique net running builds. The host examines the first cyber deck, Militech Power Line, which combines quick hacks with smart guns to form a balanced ‘net Gunner’ build. This build is ideal for players seeking a mix of hacking and combat. Key points include prioritizing intelligence attributes and relevant perks, essential cyberware like X-Disc and memory boost, and smart guns augmented with auto-healing and heal-on-kill abilities. The build also emphasizes combat aids and specific weapons, such as the thermal monowire and Yinglong smart gun for effective gameplay.

In this segment, the video details various weapons and strategies for different combat scenarios in a game. It mentions the Monowire Yinglong found at Wells Springs, Divided We Stand obtained from the Stadium Love quest, and the explosive Bajing Chong acquired from Eon in North Side after completing at least one game ending. Thermal grenades and specific quick hacks like ping, cyber psychosis, weapon glitch, contagion, and detonate grenade are recommended for combat assistance and to enhance the effects of guns. Additionally, the video discusses the Arasaka DE build optimized for stealth, featuring covert hacks, bonus RAM, and trace-reducing perks. This build focuses on stealth takedowns, health regeneration, and armor traded for RAM reallocation. The approach is slower, emphasizing strategic and undetected movement.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the discussion focuses on the importance and strategies for using optical camouflage and stealth hacks in a specific game build. Key points include the use of silenced pistols like Rogue’s Pride or Her Majesty from Phantom Liberty for occasional stealth kills, though weapons aren’t essential for this build. The recommended stealth hacks, to be used in a particular order, enhance stealth efficiency, especially in overclock mode. System Collapse is highlighted as a powerful but costly stealth hack, effective in overclock mode or with a discount. The segment also touches on the ‘Shadow Runner’ as a stealth build, appropriate for most gigs and scanner hustles, and the ‘Brain Melter’ build for explosive combat hacks combined with monowire. Cyberware and self-defense mechanisms are emphasized for maintaining health and defense, concluding with advice on perk allocation for an optimal monowire-focused build.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the optimal gear and strategies for a particular build focused on the thermal monowire weapon. They recommend having the Shingan Mark 5 prototype gun for its flame effect on enemies and emphasize the importance of infecting a group before using it. The primary tactic involves using the monowire on burning or poisoned enemies. The video also details various cyberware hacks such as cyberware malfunction, short circuit, and synapse burn, highlighting the significance of contagion and overheat hacks. Additionally, the speaker mentions strategies for dealing with bosses by using overheat to weaken their armor and brains. They acknowledge the limitations of this build in large-scale battles and suggest that it excels in short or smaller fights. Another build, the net driver, is introduced, focusing on hacking devices from a distance to eliminate enemy bases without direct combat. Perks in this build include enhancements for hacking and stealth, while physical combat skills and weapons take a backseat. The speaker advises using tools like Optical camo and silent weapons, but emphasizes that the main power comes from utilizing machines and environmental factors creatively.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses two detailed hacking builds for the game, focusing on the “God of Machines” and the “Blood Demon.” The “God of Machines” build emphasizes using cyber psychosis to control enemies and vehicles, utilizing cameras and the car hacker perk to avoid direct combat. It’s noted that this build might not work in all scenarios but offers a unique gameplay experience.
The “Blood Demon” build becomes available towards the game’s end, specifically through an ending in the Phantom Liberty. This build capitalizes on the Blood Demon perk, focusing heavily on intelligence perks while avoiding stealth and monowire. It’s an endgame build requiring high cyberware lenience, particularly with air dash and regeneration perks. The strategy involves using a combination of specific hacks to efficiently reduce enemy capabilities and maintain overclock for enhanced performance.
00:15:00
In this segment, the video dives deep into the strategy of using a build focused on advanced hacking tactics and cyberware in combat. It emphasizes a technique involving a chain of black wall hacks and synapse burns to deal with enemies, especially those at a skull level or above. For combating Max Tac squads, using cyberware malfunction and optics switching is essential since they are immune to reboot optics.
The segment also highlights a feedback loop of soul harvesting that powers continuous overclocking, but this relies on the presence of enemies. The approach involves switching to suppressive fire while recharging. The dexterity in using these techniques can allow indefinite survival against countless enemies and Max Tac squads.
The Raven Micros cyber enhances the hacking capabilities, particularly with the Contagion hack that can simultaneously affect multiple enemies, facilitating area-of-effect (AOE) damage. The build prioritizes hacking over gun usage with a 65/35 split and includes specific perks and defenses like Parabellum armor and Counter Shell to ensure survivability.
The video also touches on weapon choices, spotlighting the Shingan Mark 5 for maximizing contagion effects and other versatile weapons like the xod 2 Capper and Yinglong. The segment culminates with a call-to-action for viewers to suggest a name for this powerful build, torn between “fatal virality” and “crowd killer.”
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various strategies and builds for using hacking and cyberware effectively in combat. The Mark 5 is highlighted for its overheat capabilities, while different hacks like cyberware malfunction, short circuit, and synapse burn are useful for creating powerful feedback loops in tough situations. Self-destruct mechanisms and strategies like “baits” and “request backup” are used to group enemies before unleashing attacks.
The speaker notes the effectiveness of contagion for blanket damage and suggests its combination with the Shingan Mark 5 for swift elimination of smaller groups. For larger bases, synapse burn loops and overclocking are recommended, alongside continual contagion hits. The build stands out for dealing rapidly with large groups of enemies, including police, although it may deplete RAM resources quickly.
Finally, they introduce the tetratriacontane build as a highly optimized netrunner setup, focusing solely on hacking without hybridization. This build is designed for versatility in both stealth and open combat, requiring fewer perks and heavily emphasizing overclocking. It’s noted that for stealth, unequipping certain perks might be beneficial to prevent unwanted traces.
00:21:00
In this segment, the video details strategies for optimizing RAM usage and dealing critical damage using quick hacks in gameplay. Key components include the RAM reallocator for restoring RAM, Optical camo for stealth, and various hacks to disable enemies efficiently. The build focuses on minimizing weapon usage by quickly neutralizing threats through a sequence of hacks, such as memory wipe, short circuit, cyberware malfunction, and synapse burnout. The build’s full potential is achieved later in the game, and suggestions for early game alternatives like the brain melter are given. The host invites viewers to share their preferences and feedback on the builds discussed.
