Windows Cyberpunk 2077 Quick and Dirty Guide

[Erehy Dobon]

Skyrim has some pretty insane visual mods. For extremely realistic skin, hair, armor, &c. Also the HD and 4K mods for highly refined textures everywhere. The third party HD/4K mods are generally better than Skyrim Special Edition. There's even major mod projects like Middle Earth Redone. Which add alot of extra gameplay.

I'd also recommend follower mods. Namely Inigo and Sofia. As they are entertaining. Along with removing follower limits. I also remove limits on how much shops can buy. Rather than having to grind forever selling stuff.

Really there's just a lot of stuff to make the game world far more immersive. You can go for more realism, fantasy or just plain silly.

Thanks for your personal mod recommendations!

One thing good about playing a mature game like Skyrim is that there are tons of "these are the best Skyrim mods" articles.

Do you have a favorite place to source mods? I'm just getting started with Nexus Mod Manager and Special K for Skyrim as well as other games.

I'm probably less inclined to mod for more fantasy. I'd rather have more realism, remove annoyances or maybe make things silly. I'm not a hardcore gamer, I'm not so serious about this and don't log many hours playing videogames.

I am definitely going to wait to play CP2077 until some excellent, solid mods are available.

• Quest Types: https://gamerant.com/all-cyberpunk-2077-quest-types/
• Main Quests: Story or campaign quests. Usually the largest in the game and string together the game's plot from start to finish. Players can finish the game only playing these main quests and will "still get a really good experience.”
• Side Quests: Side quests, as is the norm, are significant quests that aren't necessary within the campaign but are still important to the world.
• Street Stories- Like Cyberpunk 2077's version of The Witcher 3's monster hunts. They're designed by the CDPR Open World Team rather than the Quest System team, filling in empty spaces and making a more well-realized world.
• Minor Quests- Very short side quests. They tell quick, often very creative stories.
• GIGS- side stories.
• new Bounties- Holy Crap, I walked by a police crime scene, got to close just walking by and the police attacked me… (In-Game note) Any illegal activity such as theft of attacking civilians will result in the NCPD placing a bounty on you. The police will send a patrol to the crime scene and the strenght of their response will be proportional to the size of the bounty. To lost the police, move away from the crime scene and lay low for a while.
• new Collecting Bounties from wanted people:https://www.ign.com/wikis/cyberpunk...rted_Crimes,_Bounties#How_to_Collect_a_Bounty One of the earlier things you’ll learn in Cyberpunk is that with V’s improved scanner, you can see who in Night City has a bounty on them. All you need to do to “collect” that bounty is simply subdue the enemy. That’s it. There’s no drop off, no number to call. Once the job is done the money is yours.

I picked up the Satori katana, its at the end of the first major quest in act 1. I'm not giving away any spoilers, but its a nice weapon and its off the beaten path ,so to speak while doing that main quest. I've seen YT stating that you can upgrade/mod/craft this up to a legendary status. I'm not sure how, but that will come in time I suppose

I don't mind would appreciate it if you spoil where this is located. Use spoiler tags.

Ok, here it is, I'm being purposely obtuse so much of the details of the game is left out. Its on the Heist mission which is the final mission on act 1. Below is a bit more info to get it, behind the spoiler tags

Spoiler

The default action is to run out the back patio doors as directed by t-bug. Instead you want to go up the stairs to another glass door, which leads to the roof. There's two combatants (there's a gun in the apartment by the bed) and after you dispose of them, inside the waiting car is the katana - please note its a bit hard to see and get but its right there. I had a bug in the game and the katana wasn't showing up, I had to quit the game and reload the save game.

I’m not yet at the end of Act 1. I’ve been focused on Crime Scenes, GIGs, Side Quests, and infrequent main quests. I‘m finding that with standard difficulty, combat is mostly easy. I infrequently die when I‘m not paying attention to my health. Head shots with a scoped, silenced pistol, and my lawn mower katana makes most fighting a fun waltz, just how I like it. I’ll post my build so far.

 

[Huntn]

As of last night I am Character Level 7 with a Street Credibility of 14.
Starting Attribute Points: Reflexes 5, Cool5, Tech4, Body4, Intel3- I think they were all at 3 until

As I’ve restarted my character, this info is not pertinent And have removed it.

 

[Huntn]

This maybe humorous that I've gone this far into the game and have not been hacking people during combat. Tonight I started getting Over Heat warnings, meaning I'm being hacked, and realized I needed the Intelligence: I Spy skill perk so I can identify who is hacking me. My understanding is that this can happen just from cameras without anyone, or is there always someone on site doing the hacking?

All of a sudden I realize that although I did the VR tape on combat and hacking I've been ignoring this skill just because I have not yet needed it. Then I started into combat and was hacking everyone, lol. My hack skill went up to 3 from zero.

Since I've been doing a lot of crime fighting on the streets I've got about $88K eddies. I'm at the ripper doc, the one on the East side of Watson, not Vick cause I've read it's not really worth paying off you debt to him unless you want the light version of gorilla arms. Do they make you look like Luthor in Umbrella Academy?

So I'm trying to figure out what is best to get. More thoughts on this later.
Cyberware

• In the game when visiting Vick Vector the Ripperdoc, he mentions an alteration, augment, that blurs your face when seen by cameras. I’m looking for the name.
• Should you repay Vick the first Ripperdoc you meet? The answer seems to be not necessarily. https://twinfinite.net/2020/12/cyberpunk-2077-paid-in-full-quest-repay-viktor/

I’m not yet at the end of Act 1. I’ve been focused on Crime Scenes, GIGs, Side Quests, and infrequent main quests. I‘m finding that with standard difficulty, combat is mostly easy.

I did that as well, and I think this provides an avenue to rank up and customize your character to the build you have in mind. I'm in Act 2, and I can't be sure but I'm in a location where I had one of those assault in progress side quests, actually I've done two of them just this morning, every NCP had a skull indicating they're higher level. I struggled to put them all down - A lot harder then prior NCPD side quests.

I have no idea, but I think like Fallout 76, where there was a section of the map where you start the game and the creatures a low level, as you move around you go into higher leveled areas and if you travel too fast there, its a lot harder. That's my guess with night city.

I'm going to invest more points in the reflex skills for handguns and maybe assault rifles. I have like 12 skill points to use and 2 perk points to distribute. I've been focusing on reflexes, but I am wondering if I rank up cool that will help.

So far, I’m not impressed with assault rifles or machine guns, they use too many bullets. I’m getting great results with my scoped, silenced pistol with head shots, mostly 1, sometimes, 2 shot kills, and now that I started regularly hacking people before I shoot them, that’s gravy. I have used a shotgun, inside buildings going room to room and am also satisfied with that, and still my favorite for close quarters is slicing and dicing with the katana. I looking forward to how this goes in Act 2.

I to recommend exhausting all the quest opportunities in Watson, including random encounters, GIGs, question Mark and spiked bat icons on the map as there seems to be a lot of crime in Night City, lots of opportunity to level.

I may be mistaken but those groups of people you see with the little v over their heads likely as not turn hostile when you approach them so in many cases I’m proactive, start shooting first and have seen a warning or two about shooting citizens, but have received no bounties on me... yet.

There is one thing I’m missing a chance at a personal relationship with a companion, as in F4. Yea, sure there is Jacky, but he has a girl friend, is not my type , and mostly I feel like an isolated loner in this game without a personal life. Besides depositing items in my stash, as far as I can tell, there is no other reason to return to your apartment. From a realism perspective, I think games like this should have a required sleep mechanism, which gives you a rest benefit. F4 had it, but even there it was not required.

Please advise of any errors: Added to Cyberware Section in Post 1:
Understanding Cyberware
In Cyberpunk2077 you can develop your body physical and mental abilities, by the means of Attribute Points such as Body, Reflexes, Intelligence, Tech Knowledge, etc. In addition to these attributes, speciality skills can be developed like increasing the speed of your attacks. This is fairly typical Role Playing game, skill progressions.

However, this is separate from cyberware. In 2077, Human bodies are augmented with software, a computer Operating System, that in some cases augments your body, by means of mechanical upgrades, giving you enhanced physical abilities, you could not otherwise possess, like a double jump, and in other cases allows you to Hack into other computers, security systems, anything that is networked, and includes hack attacks into other people’s operating systems via the network. Important points:

Cyberware associated info:

• You can hack them and they can hack you.
• The Ripperdoc is the person who gives you physical augments including upgrading your Operating System (OS).
• The NetRunner is the person who sells Quick Hacks that used with your OS, to break (Hack, Quick Hack) into other computers and peoples’ OSs. For example, there is an Overheat Attack that causes the targets system to overheat cause long term damage. I started experiencing Overheat attacks on a regular basis when engaged in Combat.

I had my first run in with a turret. It reminds me that before approaching any situation with adversaries to scan for both cameras and now turrets, although I need to verify that turrets will stand out in a scan. I saw a group of 4 hoodlums in a vacant junk strewn lot. I went in with my katana, thought I killed them all, but still was being shot and died. ? It took me 2 repeat to realize I was being shot by a turret over in a corner, and that the turret had also obliterated my car, no big deal as it was borrowed.

It’s good to know that the game records checkpoints for repeating such interactions, but I don’t think they survive as permanent saves.

 

[Huntn]

I‘m not sure what the level threshold is, I am Level 12 with about 25 street cred and I’m starting to run into more challenging adversaries and situations. A guy with mantis blades seemed to be almost impervious to my pistol, so I reran the encounter via a saved game with my katana, slicing and dicing him quickly. Note I have some serious blade skills at this point.

But I’m also seeing situations where a pistol/assault weapon/sniper are advantageous over a katana such as a large outdoor space where enemies are shooting at me from various angles and structures. What is very good to have are headshot damage multipliers.

This was added to post #46:

Most Attributes are easy to explain. Cool is more of a mystery.
What is Cool and it's associated skill, Cold Blood?
Cool is a Stat in Cyberpunk 2077. Each stat affects different capabilities, such as skills or Perks, and has a level cap of 20. Cool determine your ability to how will the character stands up to stress, fear, pressure, physical pain, and/or torture. In determining your willingness to fight on despite wounds or your fighting ability under fire.

Cool determines your resilience, composure, and effectiveness in operating from stealth. Each level of Cool will:

• Increase Crit. Damage by 2%
• Increase all Resistances by 1%.
• Increase stealth damage by 10%.
• Reduce the speed at which enemies detect you in stealth by 0.5%
• Increase Monowire damage by 3.

COOL RELATED SKILLS

• Stealth
• Cold Blood

Cold Blood Description: Related Attribute: Cool https://cyberpunk2077.wiki.fextralife.com/Cold+Blood
This skill, one of two skills associated with Cool, can be leveled up by killing enemies with a bladed melee weapon's heavy attack (has a special kill animation). The Cold Blood skill focuses on improving V's basic stats and defenses such as Armor, HP, and Stamina.

Brought from another thread:

Your really soaking it up Did you find Brick? Royce is easily dealt with PM for details as don't want to spoil the experience for others.

Cyberpunk 2077 isn't a bad game by any means, however; broken promises, media manipulation and lies. Ironically very fitting for Night City, equally CDPR deserves to be called out...

Q-6

Maybe you could tell me using a spoiler tag that hides it from those that don’t want to see, and others may want to see. I’d like to know.

COOL RELATED SKILLS

• Stealth
• Cold Blood

In setting up my charachter for this current play though, I started giving him more cool right off the bat, but my game play is not stealth and while its cool using a katana (and I have one in my inventory), I'm mostly a pistol build. I'm not seeing much value in cool and Cold Bold has confused me, I see little benefits from that though I suspect that's mostly due to my ignorance on that skill

Frankly I did not understand it on first read, I mean I do understand the stat increase, cool is a buff, apparantly a substantial buff, but cold blood has to do with and is leveled by defeating enemies with a blade using a heavy attack, hold the attack button until your attack is full charged. There is an associated animation that I don’t know if I’ve seen so it likely means I’ve not using this skill properly and since I’m not out of act 1 yet, I might just restart, because I’ve but some skill points into crafting and I’m not convinced crafting is the way to go in this game, although skill perk points gai ed can be applied to any skill.

What I really need are some good build links that are specific, a list of attribute points and skill perks in order as you level.

I’ve noticed when I get my katana out, I end up dashing about quickly slicing multiple enemies in the close vicinity, I need to be paying more attention to this. And I’ve seen the value of head shots, and am looking for a good hybrid, blade-pistol build. Then there are other attributes that seem desirable like hacking, so it’s complicated.

This is the best single description I’ve seen:

How does Cold Blood work? - Cyberpunk 2077

For Cyberpunk 2077 on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "How does Cold Blood work?" - Page 3.

gamefaqs.gamespot.com

Cold Blooded as a status-buff specifically activates when you are chain-defeating enemies and have purchased the Cold Blood base perk in Cool. The whole shtick of that skill is a type of momentum-focused fighter, be it stealth or guns blazing. Gaining a potential 30% multiplicative movement stack on top of plethora other modifiers (ranging from flat resistance% to attack-speed and hacking cooldowns) is very impactful imo.

If you prefer to pick people off and play slowly, CB isn't worth investing in. But if you often find yourself defeating more than one enemy every 10/20 seconds, and are also focusing Cool, CB is massive. It really emulates the momentum you might experience after chain-headshot'ing three dudes in a club, then high-jumping to the second floor and falcon punching a man down a flight of stairs with (fiery) gorilla arms.

I've been looking around online for a good list of Skill Perks that make it easy to evaluate them and have a better understanding of where you want to go. Some of them are in tables that I don't like for this purpose and the display in-game is a spiral which I don't like for evaluating relative skills. Eventually I found this list: https://www.powerpyx.com/cyberpunk-2077-all-perks-list/, but unless there is something I'm not understanding I don't know why they were listed the way there were.

Additionally further I have bolded just some of the important skills towards a hybrid blade-pistol build, but not all of them. As I make updates, I'll put a note here.

The trick here with builds is that you have to know where you want to go, and how many points you have to work with. Honestly I'm not there yet, other than hybrid Blade-Pistol is what I'm shooting for.


I have edited this list and:

• put them in order of how many associated attribute points they require.
• the first number is the number of associated Attribute Skills required. For example 4 Pack Mule, requires 4 Body Attribute points to unlock it.
• and I included how many levels each perk has: 0/1 means 1 level, 0/3 means 3 potential levels.

Whether you are crafting or scrapping, in both cases disassembly is more profitable.

Stealth Quests. So far I’ve done 2 stealth quests (Gigs), asking that you accomplish the mission without being discovered, loss of stealth does not fail the mission, but I think you get more XP if you remain stealthy. I’ve always found these type of quests to be difficult and rely on multiple save points to get through them. It’s not a realistic expectation to think I can breeze through them on a single pass, and sometimes the game prevents you in combat from saving, but if you are undetected, just in a hostile zone, saves can be made. Repetition reveals AI behavior and don’t forget to look for cameras and neutralize them with your hack ability.

So for one example, Bloodsport, when you are on a stealth rescue mission, at a dojo entering from the roof window because you lack skills to enter at the back door, to drop down in the front lobby on top of a guy at the front desk without being discovered, it requires you to wait until this person, get’s up and walks around.

Now there is a skill that I don’t yet have to drop on someone, grapple and subdue them quietly. So after 3 tries and failing to hold stealth, I finally noticed the front desk guy gets up and walks to the vending machine, giving you an opportunity to drop down, while crouched, sneak up behind him and grapple him. On this quest several more cameras to disable, and three people to sneak by or grapple and dispose of quietly to rescue the target and escort him out the back door which thankfully opens from the inside without any skill.

This just bust out on the GOG forum...

One of many sources, Quote below: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/778998-cyberpunk-2077/79177975/948379792

From a thread where supposed CDPR developer was speaking anonymously so take this with a grain of salt:

This is still very hush hush, but I'm fed up with this s*** so I'll disclose a few details.

CDPR hurt themselves to keep investors safe and sound. Now devs are hearing plans of a "No Man's Sky" style comeback due to late June. The first two patches should come out mid-March, despite what's been said by top execs. There will be major departures from the studio in the coming months. Dev morale is on an all time down and Sony is roasting our asses due to the gigantic volume of refund requests. There will be a meeting today with Sony execs to figure out a way to compensate players threatening with legal action. Sony Japan is specially furious.

More to come in the next couple weeks. Feels terrible, man.
There's no finger pointing as of now. Word on memos comes from the top. The directors and senior devs are taking the flak for the team in what I'd call "an honourable move". Just so you know, we still joke about a quest that got rewritten more than a dozen times, because a certain top dog wasn't "feeling it". It ended up being cut from the final product and should come on a later DLC next year.

There's people that get hired for whatever reason and stay in the company due to being "trusted by the top dogs". A good chunk of code is getting scrapped and rewritten from scratch. The intended game might be ready by June 2021.

That's already done and ready since February. It didn't get implemented because of a major UI bug that is still present in the retail copies. If you open your .dat files you'll find a lot of scrapped content still in there.
If you want a refund, please ask for it. It positively impacts us as devs, because we've warned the leads a MILLION times about that kind of s***. Most cosmetic overhauls should be ready by the 2nd big update, hopefully.

The update that is due to June will sort out all of the bugs. The code for the PS4/Xbox One is getting scrapped and done separately. PS5's code is an improvement on the PC due to the awesome dev kit Sony put together for this gen.

You'd be amazed by how much is already done. That "cut content so people finish the main quest" talk was all bulls***. Most apartments with "Closed (locked)" indications used to be lootable, we've scrapped 50,000+ lines of dialogue and I believe the June update will bring a whole lot of cut content back into the game.

Address the cut content as well. If they see that you guys are asking for s*** to be put back into the game, we might actually make the game we intended back in 2018. There used to be a huge underground part of the city that the public never got to see because it "looked ugly" to the execs. It was f***ing awesome and felt like the malkavian/nosferatu path on Vampire the Masquerade.

I don't want to hate on Keanu, but f***ing hell, our original Johnny was way cooler and sounded like a maniac. Think Foltest on crack. I don't appreciate his acting either, but he's a very nice man. Walked up to us personally to greet us on the first day and took time to personally thank us one by one when they wrapped up recording.

The word is his fee was actually manageable and the need for a Star Talent came from outside CDPR. The execs complied, because who the f*** knows? It sucks.

Our original Johnny was heavily inspired by David Hayter's Solid Snake from the first MGS and believe it or not, Cillian Murphy

There was a whole AI routine with minor gang violence in those areas. Stuff you could sit back and watch unfold or directly influence. There was also a lot of drug use with kids that eventually got cut due to inside censorship. There were priests and hare krishna side arcs that got cut due to censorship. Miles wrote a sidequest where a Max Tac officer offed himself and you could take its place but it created such a complex detour from everything tonally that it got cut as well. I hope it comes back, because it felt amazing to get into their headquarters and hack s***. You'd see the police trying to operate and breaking down mid-arrest due to your shenanigans.

Might sound weird, but the disaster launch was actually something beneficial, from our perspective. A cold shower sets priorities straight and so we're able to resume work on what was originally intended without having those f***ers breathing down our necks to publish.

I believe it was due to miscommunication and leads not setting goals like they should. The game was jumbled together for 2019's E3. The last dev comp before the scrap was 160Gb alone. There should be some whistleblowing in the coming weeks if the step downs

Series X was a mere rewrite of code and load orders. Next-gen's architecture is actually very good for ports. It's company policy to release when a game runs without debug hitches and the reason why it did baffles me and is the reason why I started this thread. It's a mix of hubris and deep incompetence from some big names around here. I'm going home for the holidays and really thinking about my friends who will be in the office for the next couple months redoing scrapped work without being able to say "I f***ING TOLD YOU!!! This is your fault, Boss". Next E3 will be bizarre for CDPR, I bet.

We've scrapped two whole arcs because the mission cleaned a save due to a bug with character placement. We've also scrapped a big portion of the underground and sewers because of bugs. Night City had three different types of cab besides Villefort and drivers would hold whole conversations and give quests. That also had to be scrapped.

Police pathfinding script worked wonderfully until somebody screwed the pooch. All I know it is already being fixed. It was a major oversight, of course.

Morgan Blackhand's backstory and a nod to the Coporate Wars. The DLC's will add a lot to the crazy and cool ideas Mike gave us when we began briefing the project. You guys should have the complete game by the end of next year, if everything goes well. I really gotta go now. Take care.


So looks like the game was butchered, yet may still be redeemable. Like all on the web you need to take with a pinch of salt, equally a lot said does ring true and we'll all see soon enough one way or the other...

Cyberpunk 2077 - Big News Update! Not So Good News...CD Projekt Red Officially Responds!:

I guess I was wrong when I posted that 200k simultaneous is healthy - Having a million players then dropping a to 200k is a deep drop off.

Funny enough, I'm one of those players I put the game aside to play FO76, and I guess I lost critical mass. I tried playing the other day doing the side gig small man big mouth, but in doing this side quest I'm getting one shot. Perhaps I'm too low of a level but it stopped me in my tracks.

I do like the game, but it seems that if I put it down, its its hard to get ramped up . Even with the holiday event of Fallout 76 ending, I'm still having more fun there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Back to CP77, the video seems to communicate that CDPR will be issuing a major update to the game this summer, not bug fixes but updating the game mechanics or content. In all honesty, I've not followed the CP77 news that closely these past few weeks, so I'm unsure. Additionally, at the end of the YT, it mentions we may not see the big bug fix until March.

Like the recent failed game releases, I do see people referencing No Man's Sky and how that developer turned the game around (after much time, pain and money). So now any game that flops uses the mantra, of lets do a no man's sky on it. I know this was bantered about for Anthem, and yet where is that game? Its still being [re]developed and in all honesty I don't see that game seeing the light of day at this point.

CP77 like No Man's Sky are single player games (though the latter now may be co-op), and so unlike an online game that failed its possible to keep working on it and not have it die off like Anthem.
