I've loved all your videos and thats the sickest toy sword Ive ever seen from one of my favourite games of all time, so I got one with your code. Thanks for being a great youtuber Sam
Are the replica blades actually sharp? Like for the machete or neurotoxin blade?
If this dude doesn’t get a job working for CDPR after all he’s done covering every square inch of 2077 the world will have truly missed out
So true. He should be a quality assurance tester at the very least
No we would miss out because he wouldn't be covering this stuff for the next game. Also, i play a lot of games, but I'm absolutely not qualified to work as a game dev
He definitely needs a job at CDPR
Haha +1, thanks for all that content !
Ok buddy
I don't even know what to say at this point, you just keep putting out high quality videos about Cyberpunk. This game is an infinite wealth of knowledge and content.
Nothing better than SamBrams CP77 video.
You ain't lying
The video I've been waiting for! Can never decide between pistols, throwing knives and swords
Yes
If memory serves I had a build with enough in throwing knives, [silenced] pistols, and swords then I could get by ... so as other posters have pointed out "yes". I like throwing knives but I had problems maintaining stealth a lot as a small miss may not always give you follow-up time. Silenced pistols are definitely easier -- a dash with Korenzikov (sp?) will buy you plenty of time to take down at least yellow [maybe red?] skull enemies without having to sweat things. Finally swords are just cool and best paired for high end Sandys ... so you gotta do it sometime :)
3 weapons, 3 weapon slots. I'm sensing a magic number here...
You can do sword and throwing knives combo and goin full reflex cyberware and critical change is crazy fun and strong and a blade is a good one to add and maybe some gorilla arms to finish the build
That's why I use all three but it's really between them. I would throw Gorilla Arms up there as well but the other Arm Cyberware don't compare.
I found Contagion in combination with the 11:6 Assault Rifle quite memorable, especially when the enemy is clustered in a group. Use Contagion, wait till it has spread to a few people and then fire a burst into the group. The effect is so spectacular that usually only limbs and torsos are left, nearby cars just join the happy fray. You need to be in the high 20s for this to work.
Psalm 11:6 is indeed no joke
9:40 "in OPness"
nice ^^
Every time I see a new upload from you my day gets better. Thanks for doing what you do Sam!
I dare say there was rarely a question I had about Cyberpunk 2077 that couldn't find the answer in a video of yours, certainly the best Cyberpunk content on YT! Cheers mate!
Every time you upload a gameplay based video it makes my day genuinely
Credit to you man, the rankings of the weapons have been great, and for some reason I truly feel this video makes it all come full circle. Feels nova choom.
Just started a new playthrough a few days ago, already 20hrs in! Love this so much. It's my 4th full playthrough
OPNESS
This NEVER gets old.
Thanks for being generally awesome dude. BTW at first glance your sponsor makes some really cool stuff!
I started playing cyberpunk a couple of weeks ago and I love this game and your videos. I play on ps4 so I play on 1.6 but still love this game and I couldn't thank you enough for keeping the 1.6 build vids up cause you really helped me and I love the quiant mk 4 2 second cool down build. Your my favorite cp2077 youtuber.
I play on ps4 too, I wasn't informed about the thing that ps4 doesn't have 2.0, but it is still fun
“Babe wake up, SamBram just dropped”
what a dope sponsor. love your channel cant wait till a few years where were all watching vids on Orion lore.
Thank you so much your videos have been invaluable to my second play through it has made the game so much fun😊😊😊
Love the Cyberpunk Vids Thank U!
My choom Sam Bram! Great video as usual buddy!
Her Majesty is my favorite pistol!
Thanks for another great video.
I guess it's time for another playthrough and maybe I'll actually spec out a proper build this time
Great Video as always. I really need to get my hands on this Katana asap 🤩
I haven’t played this in a few weeks I’m gonna jump back in today. This is one of my favorite games of all time I see a video I guess so hyped up to play it. I’ll be phantom liberty, but I haven’t finished the main store yet. I gotta work on that.
Love your content! Can I request you do an underwater secrets video? It seems like there should be a lot down there but I trust you be able to list it all in a cohesive way that we would all benefit from.
I am very sorry to repeat myself, but your videos are awesome - both for the amount of work you put in but also how pleasant they are to watch. Continue what you are doing, you have a true talent
Thank you for this extensively researched and masterfully presented video. I have been playing netrunners for years, and I am a fan of the monowire, especially with the relic tree perk. A thermal monowire equipped with Cripple Movement, and paired with judicious applications of Overheat, can for example wipe the mantis blade's Maxtac operator in mere seconds.
Thanks a lot, that helps make our decisions a lot easier. All those videos required crazy amount of research.
A pistol build is so addicting-but man assault rifles feel so clean and powerful.
Speaking of, I’m personally running a build that values versatility above all else. Net running for now is not too much in my interest, so here it is: 20 in body, reflexes and tech, with 18 in cool. I overall think all my iconic pistols revolvers, snipers, precision rifles have perfectly optimal crit damage when it comes to weak spots and headshots, even without the level 20 cool perks.
I’d like to know 2 things: what’s the difference between yellow and red crit damage? Also, is 20 in body better for versatility than 20 cool?
I think they are on me of the least best classes behind Precision Rifles actually
Interesting. I feel that the SMGs feel the best overall, and I found assault rifles to be underwhelming
@@TytheGuy6867They're a lot less so on hard and very hard, the latter in particular. SMGs suffer from the same.
Agreed. The only place I felt really weak was the Smasher fight but then I found out you could do sneak takedowns so investing in cool is till worth it.
That OP-ness pun was terrific 😂Well played, good Sir, well played indeed.
Well made video!!! Good work!!!!
Seriously dude, your amazing 👍👍👍
Nah them cyberpunk replicas are awesome I'ma have to order some asap‼️‼️
I've pretty well settled on a pistol/smg/sword/gorilla arms combo. Pistol for stealth, smg for crowds, and sword and arms for changing the pace and getting xp from alternate tracks.
Finally a video on Class Consciousness! Joking aside, the only time I use a precision rifle is when it's tech and essentially noscope as a shotty with a higher rate of fire. I basically ignore assault rifles in favor of SMGs. I'm presently running a blunt weapons with Submachine Fun. Usually I just use my electric gorilla arms, but Baby Boomer has a pretty skin to it, so I use that too even though i don't like bat animations. Raiju is my go-to, paired with Fenrir. I used to use shotguns but they're actually too strong! The Guts-jump is fun though.
@Cryomantik Fenrir is so underrated
Quickhacks are so OP that after over 120 hours of playing, I just barely got the achievement for melee kills (and that just because I finally broke down and installed the monowire), and still haven't gotten the achievement for gun kills. I don't even keep weapons equipped.
try a sandevistan or even chrome compressor build. it completely changes the dynamic of how you approach combat situations when you don't have quickhacks to fall back on. I liked being a magic hacker wizard too but goddamn there is just something uniquely fun and special about a sandevistan blade build. a berserk OS is super fun too with a shotty/lmg build, you feel like an absolute tank
i remember thinking at the start of 2.0 that SMGs suck now because they felt really weak at first glance while consuming lots of ammo, "why would i shoot a enemy 10 times with this gun if i could shoot them once with another gun?"
but after discovering how immense the buffs from the reflex perk tree are they have honestly become my favorite weapon type in the whole game. I still love the other weapons and some like shotguns or snipers dont even need their perks to be good so usually smg's are the ones i invest my points in (which also pairs nicely because i could never run with anything less than 15 reflex for the air dash)
I have played a LMG/ Shotgun and netrunner build all thruout 2.0 onwards and it has been amazing.
Same here. The combination of brain and brawn is so satisfying
Honestly the best combo for me is katana, throwing knives, a good pistol and gorilla arms. My old Nomad build was unstoppable.
Love your videos choom, be nova if you made a Nightcity fixers ranked!
I kinda wish revolvers falls into reflex tree. Since you can't stealth with revolver anymore, the only option is gunz blazing. Really fit with SMGs & AR dashing around playstyle
My favorite weapons are definitely the "stealth" enabled weapons -- Throwing Knives, silenced pistols, and Overwatch. I can often reduce a lot of the headache & heartache with these sorts of weapons and can often bypass things that are annoying to brute force though. Then again I'm planning a Shotgun build and a Blunt Weapon [Savage sling] sort of build so going loud isn't necessarily bad.
Wanted to add, that LMG, with BODY+Movement build is very fun actually. You don't have to be slow-moving 3d printer of bullets on legs - dash into the enemy and blast em point blank.
But yea, i wish there were more of these.
Right. I think he forgets about a lot of the perks when discussing these videos
Shame that the MA70 HB no longer triggers pyromania.
one of my favorite runs i have ever done (out of like 6 billion runs) was a full on blunt melee + shotguns. i felt (and almost was) effectively immortal and with the right combo was two shotting max tac all day long. it was so much god damn fun.
My new fave combo is lvl 5 Bait, Request Backup, Contagion and then either Overheat or just squish melons with a silenced fully tarted up Seraph or Psalm and watch the limbs fly! 😁
Johnnys Malorian is for sure my favourite weapon
oh my god that Errata is so sick!
Man I love cyberpunk so much. I never followed the genre before release so i don't know there's so much hype behind it. I just bought it because it looks cool.
And I actually looking forward to the bugs during patch 1.06 funny enough the only bug i get is people start T posing and V suddenly naked. I don't even make any build for my first run just pick a gun and blasting no perk added
Now I try many build, follow the lore and many other. I'm glad i bought this game
pouring one out for my tech build.
My first and main playthrough using the strength perks as a base was the most fun for me and when 2.0 hit and I could use enemies as weapons fell for it more. pairing a malay build with the sovereign and a revolver just made the game flow well, then in phantom liberty with the iconic axe for more stealth alone side jakies pistol, the game felt like it was mine. From sir john to gorilla arms and even a lead pipe i've pummelling the gangs and bosses of night city and laughed maniacally all the way. I recommend it if you want a new playthrough for this 4 year old game.
My current favorite build is a stealth pistol build with optimal camo, especially early game I will use La Chingona Dorada with a silencer until I can get Her Majesty or Pride. Then I like to use Archangel as my out of stealth gun and Scalpel as my melee weapon. When I use the sword its usually to take out big enemies where my guns are less effective so the kill first requirement of Byakko is pretty inconvenient for me. Also throwing weapon builds are some of the most fun I have had in the game except they have the Achilles heel of being truly horrible against mechanical enemies.
i ran a 20 body 20 cool build last time so i could switch inbetween throwing and smashing and I found out that you can pick up the heavy lmg while berserk is equipped xD
Broo I can never not have Cyberpunk downloaded, every time homie drops a video if I don’t have it downloaded it will be by the end of the video lmaoo
the hands cyberware that creates electrical pulse after reload + firestarter and instakill mod on single shot dubble barrel shotgun is basicly the old comrade hammer but with more explosions and sparks and faster reload
@filippachta1201 The cyberware is called Micro generator and the best way to use it is a Legendary Testera with Micro generator, The Shock and Awe Cyberware, and the Firecracker mod
The blunt weapons don't have enough cool factor and they're super slow a lot, I want to feel fast. But in a "Get Physical" build, that shit DOES feel good.
That "bonk" on a gonk sound effect of baseball bats is addictive for a bit though 😁
Omfg yes I love these kinds videos
At the moment, I'm fully spec'ed into Cool; so having a heavy hitting gun, for when things go loud, that works with my perks is a God send. Achilles x-mod 2 is fantastic. I just wish there was an iconic with a silencer
I was originally a Netrunner, but the updates threw me off my groove, so I restarted and went as a Headhunter/Shinobi/Solo. Try to be quiet with Errata as my primary, whip out Sandy when I need to go loud, and have Widowmaker and Chaos as secondarys when I need to by time to get my health back. Haven't regretted that decision since.
Netrunner is substantially more powerful now than it ever has been, honestly easily the strongest build in the game because it's the only one that trivializes very hard.
I had alot a fun doing an assault/stealth,kitana pistol build. I would sneak around headshotting people with the silenced pistol or whip out the ak if I got caught or got bored. If I wanted to just annihilate the room I would activate sandevistan and just slice people to ribbons. Plus I could wild west blow people away with revolvers too just to mix it up
That katana looks awesome maaan
Prejudice is actually great, possibly the best stealth weapon in the game. It's so good that I even changed the build of one of my characters who was previously using Pride.
Idea for future video: ranking top 10 guns in each weapon class (power, smart, tech)
Quickhacks turns combat into a puzzle game and I still respect that design decision
I think that throwing knives are the superior stealth weapon. They are silenced out of the box, deal an immense amount of damage and have a larger hit box than a bullet which makes them easier to use than pistols that share the same range as throwing knives. And aiming with knives is easier because nothing is blocking your view in the center of the screen like with pistols or snipers. And they work perfectly with sandy if you use the instant return perk.
@TheRadiantKnight_ Pistols don't require cool down
@@maskedman5657 there is a perk that makes knives return instantly on a kill or a critical hit. Considering that in stealth you one tap enemies that shouldn't be a problem. Also knives easily oneshot enemies even without stealth, but later in the game.
@@TheRadiantKnight_ Well doesn't the fact that pistols usually have more ammo and can use scopes make it better to line up headshots?
@@maskedman5657hell naw. I use swords, knives and pistols and when it's time to shoot a sniper from a long distance I always go to my Punknife wit 2 ZeroG mods on it. I got clips of it.
@@maskedman5657 well for me scopes only make it worse. Anyway when you are in stealth enemies are barely moving so hitting them is easy regardless of your weapon.
In regards to blocking bullets, you can actually do so as much as you want provided you level up reflexes to 20. Once you do, you'll be able to unlock a perk that restores stamina every time you air dash and/or double jump. So you can block just as many bullets as you want so long as you time your double jump/air dash correctly (FYI you can also block bullets in the air, just keep holding down blcok), in fact anytime I notice my health is low and I'm out of healing items, I usually do this until my health goes back up... plus if you reflect the bullets back at whoever is shooting you, they'll eventually get low enough in health that you should be able to use a finisher on them which you can also use to restore health.
a nicely ranged and modded (and if preferred, silenced) assault rifle outweighs any precision rifle in my opinion (i usually go for an ajax, sometimes a kyubi). i usually combine that with a ranged and silenced high damage pistol (nue) and a smart weapon to clean up larger groups (i swing between a yukimura or a zhuo)
Currently playing a Sandi + katana / throwing weapons / pistol build with the option to use a sniper here and there. I just switch between Byakko (for crowds), scalpel (for tougher enemies) and Satori (ind combination with Nehan for boss fights). And I just looove Johnny's Malorian
That Eratta is fucking awesome! 🔥🔥
Hey Sam! Big fan! Thank you for your passion and work in Cyberpunk! Would you consider a video of how/what order you like playing the main missions and side quest? Maybe a low spoiler video. I really like role playing the story and I would be curious how you like playing the story!
OP-ness.... NICE (Sir Phallustiff)
I feel blessed seeing the face of our lord and savior Sam Bram.
Pistol/sniper combo here is like a stealth archer in Skyrim. I start with a different idea, but it always ends like that
I love the thermal gorilla arms because FIRE PUNCH!!! Also tech shotguns.
Precision rifles are great in boss fights. I have a meelee build. But if it gets too hot i can just hide behind a wall and shoot through it till my health and heals regen
im fairly sure that the apartment that you and jackie raid at the start of the game for wakako, is the same one that Maine dies in in edgerunner. I could be wrong though but i havent seen anyone talk about it yet
8:05 you’re a huge WHAT 😂😂😂😂
I want to try a playthrough where I start right from the end of Act 1, with no NCPD scanners/gigs completed. And with EVERY weapon already obtained (but not upgraded).
Will just need to spawn the weapons in with CET and grab a mod that allows infinite attribute respecs.
9:42 I see what you did there, clever
As an optical camo Sandy Andy the throwing weapons are my favourite
I award you the title of "Best youtuber to watch while eating"
A lot of people say this. I'm happy with that title 😂
My favorite build is the samurai/assassin build , sandevistan+optical camo+katana+knife+pistol .
revolver may not be the bets but godamn they are clean, also nice to see brand dstarting to sponsor you, youre getting big now
Keep in mind these videos usually are based heavily off his opinion and own experience. You'll notice in his comment sections he gets corrected a lot. His ranking criteria is usually inconsistent and he's wishy washy with what's valued so it's best to take the real facts and throw out the rest of just watch for entertainment.
There's only 2 arm Cyberware that can become main weapons and only one is good without committing lots of perk points so how is arm Cyberware over any weapon? How is Quickhacks number one when it's locked behind 1 OS?
@@s3eriousbl9ck26wow great opinion but like i couldnt care less
@s3eriousbl9ck26 tell me u haven't used anything but gorilla arms and mantis blades for arm cyberware without telling me
@@fysiotherapeft2272lmao wrong as hell. I literally only use projectile launcher 🤣🤣🤣 I can upload videos if you'd like just to make you feel more foolish.
Fact is I do this combat shit so I don't play about my tools of destruction. Tell me you rely on your OS without telling me. Better yet keep that old ass remark in the past. Social media played that out a couple years ago 😂😂
@@gnome1474yet you read and replied 🤣🤣 man stfu with that bs. If your a fanboy of some random UA-camr just say that
In my first play through atm, honestly quite like the precision tech rifle lol
Revolvers were definitely the hardest to rank for me, cuz like they have genuinely one of the best lists of iconics (mancinella, archangel, amnesty, etc.) but they don’t fit into the standard archetype of build so they kinda get relegated down. I personally would put them above throwing and even blunt weapons, due to the fact that they alone can make a broken build as good as most of the top tier classes.
"OPness with john phallustiff"
lol i see what you did there, nice
Interesting ranking…here’s mine.
12: Revolvers
11: Precision Rifles
10: Pistols
9: LMGs
8: Assault Rifles
7: Throwing Knives
6: Shotguns
5: Sniper Rifles
4: SMGs
3: Blunt Melee(includes Gorilla Arms)
2: Slash Melee(includes Mantis Blades)
1: Quickhacks
The reason I put SMGs so much higher is two things: much better base stats & Iconics than Assault Rifles, and Submachine Fun is completely and utterly broken as a perk.
Usually I always hate what is promoted on videos. I did not hate this. It was fitting and interesting.
Thanks a lot on finding a new way for me to go broke Sam!
returned to game recently after years, completed it multiple times already with diffrent builds, I have just started a new game with the intend to go with revolvers, especially archangel. sad to see 'em so low tho.
Could you please do a video ranking all the Smart weapons?
Dude knives are the only things that stun MaxTac with one hit. And many of the perks for them are open combat perks. To be honest its probably the most versatile weapon with 2 Zero G mods on a Punknife you have sniper.
I even have videos of me clearing a whole enemy base with just a Punknife. They had 2 snipers and I was able to have a sniper battle with them from sniper range while keeping off enemies that were closer. Im thinking about uploading. Yall are playing this game limited asf.
@s3eriousbl9ck26 upload then
My fav class has been quick hacks. But they kept nerfing them. I was especially bummed when they nerfed sonic shock’s ability to prevent tracing. I’ve had to relearn quick hacking 3 times since starting this game in Sept 2021. But I did adapt and I’ve learned to use many other weapon classes. I love Her Majesty and Gorilla arms.
Haven't watched it yet, but knowing Sam's preferred playstyle going off of his videos, I'm expecting the Top 3 Weapon Classes to be Pistol, Knives, and Katana, with Cyberdecks close to them. Will edit post after watching it.
I was wrong on Knives, and forgot about Snipers... Otherwise, yeah, this list checks out with what I know of Sam as a viewer! Great list all around!
I started with a cool build, and I refuse to ever do anything else. Revolvers are just the most fun, everything else feels too easy now
I feel like a smart revolver could have been the most badass weapons in the entire game. Great list as well :D
I got to give it to CDPR, they did an amazing job balancing the weapons, perks, and different gameplay styles. I look forward to continuing to try out different builds and combos.
Didnt know you could show sir john phalistuf on UA-cam
Hypercritical has an additional niche use as hits with it will build up pyromania stacks for your grenades/handheld launcher
@Jereb343 wouldn't the Osprey be better?
@@maskedman5657Probably yes but hypercritical has better ammo economy
@@Jereb343 Good Point! Sniper ammo is BAD
that real life Errata is dope
Every time I pick up Cyberpunk 2077, I end up gravitating to one of the Cyberdecks. I know the value of Berserk, Sandevistan, and even the Compressed Coprocessor. However, what ends up being most fun for me is having the ability to maximize my interaction with Night City in ways only a Cyberdeck truly can.
Sometimes I'm a tanky shotty solo with support; sometimes I'm a whirling dervish of blades and throwing knives with debuffing; sometimes I'm just a pure netrunner. Whatever style of play I end up going, nor whatever weapon I end up choosing as my primary, Cyberdeck will always be my go-to operating system. It's how I have the most fun. :)
I tried and it just was too for me but I also like fast-paced, intense combat.
SamBram for Cyberpunk videos and Oxhorn for Fallout. You two definitely have your chosen game for expertise. lol
Damn that Errata you got, shietttt
