Dont get me wrong iconics are very cool and powerful weapons but to me some regular variant of the iconic same weapon type thats has better stats or more mod slots that make it better
Another important point: If you look at items in your Backpack (the top slot in the lower-right corner of your Character tab), and you mouse over something, you will see how many components you will get when you break it down. The crafting components are shown in the upper-left corner of the same screen as the Backpack.
I like the changes but idk I'm conflicted as well. I like that it's not level based so it doesn't matter what level you pick up a weapon you can eventually get it to the same stats as weapons picked up to lv 5 but imo this really dumbs down crafting. makes me not even wanna worry about it anymore
Great and clear explanation, thanks. I'm lucky cause i finished Cyberpunk so long ago that i forgot almost everything about stats, perks, updgrades, etc. so it's easier for me to understand new system :)
Fyi, you can dismantle or sell clothing and it will still be in your wardrobe. The minute it goes into your inventory it automatically goes to the wardrobe too. So you don’t have to worry about losing the clothes forever. I hope this helps anyone who has a lot of clothing taking up space !
My problem with this new system of making iconic blueprints SINGLE USE ONLY is that a patch later in 2.1 recently, CRAFTED ICONICS (Like Moron Labe, my main choice rifle) can have weapon mods which is GREAT... but the catch is only newly crafted iconics- existing icons on a save file are unaffected... would be realllly nice if i could just craft a new one, but I cant because my new save I started for 2.0 means i already consumed the blueprint... That is such a slap in the face. Pretty much leaving me with having to find mods on nexus that allow my to just add the blueprint again to my inventory, or the Icon with the mod slots, as restarting my playthrough this late into the game is a big no.
One thing too is that tier 5++ weapons break down to 15 tier 5 components, but a tier 5 or 5+ only breaks down to 5 or 7. I will sell the lower tiers and break down the tier5++ only depending on current needs.
You dont "have to" disassemble weapons to get components, theyre found all over the place when doing side missions, especially if you do the 25% more loot perk. Disassembling is a godsend, but its not necessary. Also, dont forget clothes can be traded in for components, based on the level the clothing is.
unless i am missing something... i dont notice any stat changes when i upgrade from 5+ to 5++. Its a 200 component cost but no changes? anyone have some insight?
I had that happened, but in those cases, it was from console commands or it was an pre-2.0 weapon, also likely from console or iconic vendor mod. Sometimes, the rarity in color is not reflected, even with never, saving and reloading often helped, and sometimes it was the right rarity in the weapon equiped screen but the wrong one in the backpack and vice versa.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Comprehesive analysis all in one place. How refreshing. BTW I wrote down notes based on this vid so I could refer to it while playing. Because my memory is shit. I'm old, don't judge me!
Can category 5++ weapons be found outside of the dlc or only there in Dogtown? Hello, sorry my bad english please, i'm from Brazil and no speak english. I'm using translator goolge.
Hey, just started the game lol. I got the Psalm blueprint at level 6 - tier 1. Do you think it's worth going back and not getting it so I can get it to drop at a higher tier later, that way I don't need as many components to upgrade it? Seems like a lot is needed to upgrade a tier 1 all along the way. Thanks very much
Im trying to understand how the weapon stats work so I can choose the best, but they make no sense to me. Like, why does a gun with lower damage and way lower "attacks per second" have higher "DPS" ?? ....i don't get it??? Also, I can't figure out how to switch between weapons, or how to use grenades ...at all. Like, I have grenades, but I've no idea how to equip or throw them??? Also, you yalk about "tiers" but how do you know what teir a weapon is?? I don't see anything showing tier levels?
do i have to spec into tech to craft stuff?! that seems so dumb because im doing a run and gun playthroug. I want to keep Guts with me but now its basically doing nothing to enemies, and i cant upgrade it?
hi , thanks for the video , something that keeps bothering me is that i cant find a single OVERTUNE revolver with both scope and silencer slot , idk if i will get a slot for silencer on it if i craft the gun , i dont know where to get a overtune crafting blueprint eaither , help me out please
FYI I am not sure if this is a UA-cam thing or a new factor you should know about BUT when I "Liked" this video it didn't count for 28 seconds. That's a LONG time TBH. Hope that isn't a new thing for y'all.
Dude I just wanna thank you because I was going batshit trying to figure out where my crafting specs were for higher tier iconics. I thought the game was just bugged out
I don’t even watch this video and I say this 2.0 crafting and leveling weapons is a joke! Just 1 example, my O’Five sniper rifle used to do 120K damage in 1.5/1.6. Now it does 849 damage in full upgrade. Pathetic. They rushed the release of the new DLC and did not have time to create mod slots in all the weapons. So they left it out and force players to use whatever they want us to do because there are only a handful out of hundreds of legendary weapons that have mod slot(s). And the mods are pathetic as well. Put it in not put it in make no major difference. Force me to use melee build instead. Or have to play normal instead of hardest difficulty.
I been having this game for 2 years 😂 and I just started playing they changed everything thanks so much I was so confused 🫶🏽 I been using the dieying light gun is a handgun fully automatic

This ^. I'd rather have a pyro modded Saratoga than an actual Fenrir.

Picked up Guts SUPER early on in my second playthrough and immediately regretted it, cheers for the help.

I hope this helps anyone who has a lot of clothing taking up space !
And you get the crafting components from them as well
OH shit thank you so much for this
Eh nevermind. Dismantling the clothes makes them gone for good except for when they're saved in a loadout in garderobe...
@@RandoomBoyo That is exactly what was said in the comment...
@@Ecliptor. no
Best video about crafting. I legit didn’t want to get back into crafting as a returning player so I just searched this up, thx.
Love this game, but wish you could reset you perks/attributes more than once.

Straight to the point perfectly explained, insanely usefull thank you so much ! Love this new system look way much better then before
Thank you for the level tiers I’m just returning and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get any tier 3
Speaking of the iconics, none of the wikis are up to date like the Guts now has a anarchy like effect per kill, more damage but less accuracy
Was this a Mechromancer reference?
@@Kwawzeye00 honestly maybe as it extremly simmerlar with both rebecca amd gaige being high energy tech based girls
I’m new idk wtf I’m doing ion now how to upgrade guns and upgrade my character and make him jump high and shit I’m so cunfused 😭
Good stuff my good sir, good stuff for a newbie like me right here

Thank you for explaning that your level 10 was Modded....i was so confused how you had those tier 5 weapons.

Does anyone know how to add mod slots or get maximum mod slots cant figure it out
I've sold 99% of my iconics cause they were only tier 2... I didn't know you can upgrade them... 😢😢😢 What do i do...
L
I’m returning to cyberpunk 2077 finally and all my iconic weapons are gone do I have to restart my game to get them back?
thankou so much man
Whee is the link u mentioned u said u put in ur video description?
Useful videos
do i have to spec into tech to craft stuff?! that seems so dumb because im doing a run and gun playthroug. I want to keep Guts with me but now its basically doing nothing to enemies, and i cant upgrade it?
hi , thanks for the video , something that keeps bothering me is that i cant find a single OVERTUNE revolver with both scope and silencer slot , idk if i will get a slot for silencer on it if i craft the gun , i dont know where to get a overtune crafting blueprint eaither , help me out please
I didn't know at first either but they took away silencer options for revolver.....rip
How do the slots work. Why do some guns come with 5 slots other none
I know this is a old video but where can i find the overture at or have they just completely deleted it from the game
gun vendor in the arasaka base area. I forgot what the area is called lol. But its that market that wont let u bring vehicles in
Gun named psalm 11:6. It’s a Bible verse that makes sense with this gun.
Iconic quickhuck test please. They broken
why cant i upgrade my weapon to 5++ only 5+?
I think you need phantom liberty dlc to craft 5++ weapons
this new crafting is good but they took away to much from players for "balancing" they literally nerfed everything to the ground like why
FYI I am not sure if this is a UA-cam thing or a new factor you should know about BUT when I "Liked" this video it didn't count for 28 seconds.
That's a LONG time TBH.
Hope that isn't a new thing for y'all.
Dude I just wanna thank you because I was going batshit trying to figure out where my crafting specs were for higher tier iconics. I thought the game was just bugged out
I already sold my weapons that I've gotten that have been poop 💀💀💀😂
Do Tier 5++ craft specs even exist?
No. Iconics need to be upgraded. And regular weapons need to be found at that tier.
555
🙈 P r o m o s m
No shit, Sherlock. Lol
Bro yaps to much

Useless video if you searched how to upgrade the wepons
They literally tell you did you even watch the whole video
