Cyberpunk 2077 gives you loads of customisation options to tailor your V just how you’d like them. This extends from their aesthetics to some incredibly deep RPG mechanics that provide a tonne of opportunities for some killer game-breaking builds. While the hardcore netrunner and the shotgun-toting beserk tech builds are both brilliant, we’ll be highlighting the Sandevistan Samurai.

This is a build that capitalises on the Sandevistan implant that lets you slow down time and the raw stopping power of the game’s Ninjutsu skills.

You’ll want to pick up the Jinchu-Mara katana or the Satori, depending on which you intend to build on using your abilities and stats. The Satori is impressive due to its enormous critical hit damage perk while the Jinchu-Mara has three perks which, when combined, let you deal four times the damage with an assured critical hit.

Pile on perks that increase melee damage, Blades and Athletics skills and you’ll carve everybody up before they can even get their sights on you.
