As 2020 (thankfully) comes to a close, the DualShockers staff is coming together to share their personal favorite games throughout the year. Unlike our official Game of the Year Awards, each of these lists is meant to reflect which games stood out personally to each of our staff members. Additionally, any game -- not just 2020 releases -- can be considered in each Top 10 List. 10. Cyberpunk 2077 I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PC and feel as if I’m one of the lucky ones throughout its launch to not experience a range of game-breaking issues . But while I don’t believe it excels in a lot of areas, I do think that the story has a fantastic range of voice acting and depth that has found me becoming really engrossed in it. And what’s more is that it’s not just characters that are central to the story: its supporting characters (such as the ones during the mission at Clouds) have so much power to their voice acting, and the random side-quest actors feel like they bring their characters to life. For that reason alone, Cyberpunk 2077 has only just slid its way into my top 10. I may have had to find myself pushing through awkward shooting mechanics, glitchy car journeys, and a world that is uncomfortably written on purpose. However, the payoff to see V’s relationship with those around them grow, especially Johnny Silverhand, was something that made my time with the game worthwhile. Check out DualShockers ' review of Cyberpunk 2077 . 9. Watch Dogs: Legion This hacking-athon title from Ubisoft certainly stood out to me this year, probably because I’m a Brit living in a world that feels as if it’s heading in the same direction as the one portrayed in Watch Dogs: Legion . The hacking mechanics felt as if they were enjoyable and built upon the previous games in a way that felt a touch more fluid, albeit somewhat fiddly at times. The story was a surreal trip in a lot of places, specifically the Blume plotline, but it was something that worked, and something that felt engaging while also leaving you thinking, "Wait, what?" The writing in general took an overly stereotypical feel, but it’s such a beautiful dystopian world, and one I’m familiar with. And there’s nothing more fun than recreating my Camden Market to Piccadilly Circus shopping trip with the added threat of being beaten down by Albion security. But being able to explore the city freely in typical Ubisoft fashion was something I enjoyed. Check out DualShockers ' review of Watch Dogs: Legion . 8. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 With Session and Skater XL being the only other skating games that were on my radar this year, they were also borderline simulations. So while they were enjoyable, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 brought entertainment in skating games back in its typical arcade way. The remaster of the originals looks stunning and the gameplay is so familiar that my muscle memory from the year 2000 had started to kick in immediately. I do need to spend more time creating a park rather than browsing the community created parks, but I think that goes to show how much fun I’m having popping ollies in other people’s imaginations. The other bonus is that the soundtrack for the game was not only nostalgic but also introduced me to some interesting bangers this year. I never thought I’d be enjoying one specific Machine Gun Kelly track, but here we are. Check out DualShockers ' review of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 . 7. Rocksmith 2014 Edition - Remastered I know this is an old game, but it’s been one that’s been really enjoyable throughout this year’s pandemic. I used to play guitar back in my younger years and learned a few simple songs before I wound up becoming engrossed in the world of filmmaking and video editing. Playing guitar had, since then, been something I was always going to "get back into" but I never did. So this year, after finding my old acoustic, I picked up Rocksmith 2014 Edition -Remastered and made use of the microphone input rather than the electric guitar cable you can get separately. While this worked for a while, it wasn’t picking up chords exactly, which led to me receiving an electric guitar and picking up a Rocksmith cable. From there I skipped past all the learning steps and started picking up my old guitar playing habits using the large DLC library available. Now I’m learning the themes from video games such as The Last of Us , Portal , Hades , and a few others on top of tracks such as Radiohead's "Last Flowers," Gary Jules' "Mad World," and David Grey's "This Year's Love." Additionally, I’m also writing my own melodies thanks to the inspiration to keep improving through this game. 6. Among Us This game kind of took me by surprise, as I’m sure it took everyone by surprise. A massive success story lies behind this game this year, and it’s one that I’ve had a good time playing. I often join a friend of mine who’s a streamer, and for a number of streams, we’ve jumped into Among Us and had a fun time with the community. It’s a game that makes people frantically talk over one another trying to prove their innocence, which for a deaf player like myself is a nightmare. But the gameplay is so simple, so easy to pick up, and so hilarious that it’s been an absolute joy to play. The thing I’m most looking forward to is that the [https://demokrasi43.com/ RPG game news]’s sudden success means there’s going to be loads of new updates heading to players. We’re already getting a new map and the game’s being ported to consoles , but I’m hoping to see better in-game communications, and more possibilities for Imposters to make use of. 5. Fitness Boxing DualShockers was due to be getting a review copy of Fitness Boxing 2 , but that never happened. But as it happens, throughout 2020 I’ve had an on/off relationship with the original [https://demokrasi43.com/ RPG game classes]. When jogging felt too cumbersome, I’d instead switch to digitally punching inputs. It’s not a perfect game, by far, and I’m pretty sure the continuous punching motions have screwed up 2 sets of Joy-Con controllers, but it’s a game that does exactly what it sets out to do. I’ve punched my way through all available exercises in Fitness Boxing , and all of them, especially the more intense workouts, have made me work up a sweat and I’ve felt my muscles feeling the strain from targeting specific areas. Prior to the pandemic, I was looking into a gym membership, but now that the world has plunged into socially distanced measures, this has been the better option for me that doesn’t require forking out for the expensive Ring Fit Adventure to squish with my thighs. Check out DualShockers ' review of Fitness Boxing . 4. Rocket League I believe I keep putting Rocket League into all my Top 10 end of year lists , but there’s always a reason. Usually, it’s just because it’s a great game to play with strangers, friends, and family alike, but this year the game saw a huge update; one that saw the game go free-to-play along with a complete overhaul of various features. New game modes have entered the fray on a timed basis, and the enjoyable gameplay remains intact throughout. I continually find myself striving to rank up to Diamond with Platinum 3 being the highest I’ve been able to gain. I enjoy this game year-on-year and with the continued support from its developers, I don’t think that’s going to slow down. I’d love to see more accessibility features implemented to make the game’s interface more appealing to look at, but for now, Rocket League is here to stay for me. 3. Microsoft Flight Simulator I honestly adored this game when it launched earlier this year. I’m a low-key flight simulator fan, playing games like IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 back in my younger years. Microsoft Flight Simulator was, however, my first trip back into the world of flying games since maybe 2007. And it was incredible. The sheer detail and realism throughout the game was a marvel to witness, and being able to use an Xbox Gamepad rather than a HOTAS felt more casual and enjoyable to control. I also enjoyed flying alongside a good friend that reviewed the game here at DualShockers , and while the game needs work on being able to clearly see your flying pals, when we eventually managed to fly along the coasts of Hawaii, it was pure bliss. No combat, just flying in real-time over a real world. I do however feel guilty because in order to install Cyberpunk 2077 I felt like I had to uninstall Microsoft Flight Simulator as a precaution. But after remembering I have 2 SSDs, I’ll be jumping back in within the next few weeks. Check out DualShockers ' review of Microsoft Flight Simulator . 2. Phasmophobia This, similarly to Among Us , saw huge success this year. The game launched and its popularity continued to grow. I’m a huge fan of horror games, but Phasmophobia takes horror to weirdly new cooperative heights by introducing voice commands that are used to trigger ghost activity. While hunting a ghost is fun and everything, the atmosphere that builds up around you is mostly of your own making, which I find impressive. Ghosts can throw things, and they can flicker lights, and make noises. But being the one person forced by your team of 3 others to stay in a room alone calling the ghost a series of vulgar words just to get that last piece of evidence needed is a fear that works incredibly well in Phasmophobia . The developer seems to be working on more content and updating the way the game plays as more players flock to it. But the current levels and ghost hunts have huge replayability due to the different randomized tasks needed and given the unpredictability of a ghost. I’m excited to see where this game goes in the future. 1. Animal Crossing: New Horizons Animal Crossing: New Horizons launched on the heels of a global pandemic and turned out to be the perfect way to keep everyone connected while in lockdown. Following that, personally, the game fell off my radar for a few months after due to having to focus on other game launches and as my personal life started to weigh me down. But since jumping back into it again in late November, I’ve started to feel the game’s magic come back, and for a brief moment, the stresses of reality became less. I think there’s much that New Horizons doesn’t do well -- terraforming, item customization limitations, internet connectivity with others, etc -- but there’s no denying that it’s a fantastic game about connecting with others without having to resort to violence. There’s also a small gladness that I can leave the game for 4 months and not have to feel entirely guilty because my island seems to continue to thrive. Weeds don’t populate that much, and if they do they look somewhat aesthetically pleasing, and the villagers seem to be more understanding that you’re a busy person. Check out DualShockers ' review of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . **Check out the rest of the DualShockers staff Top 10 lists and our official [https://demokrasi43.com/ RPG Game Blog] of the Year Awards nominees : ** December 23: Lou Contaldi (General Manager) // Ben Bayliss (Features Editor) December 24: Grant Huff (Senior Staff Writer) // Camilo Olmedo (Associate Staff Writer) December 25: Kris Cornelisse (Staff Writer) // Ricky Frech (Reviews Editor) // Ryan Meitzler (Editor-in-Chief) December 26: Michael Ruiz (Contributor) // Mehrdad Khayyat (Senior Staff Writer) December 27: Sam Woods (SEO Editor) // Peter Szpytek (Video Editor) December 28: Scott White (Video Editor) // Justin Kucharski (Associate Staff Writer) December 29: David Gill (Staff Writer) // Allisa James (Senior Staff Writer) December 30: Rachael Fiddis (News & Culture Editor) // Cameron Hawkins (Staff Writer) // Charlie Wacholz (Staff Writer) December 31: Otto Kratky (Executive Editor) // Mario Rivera (Video Manager) January 1: Iyane Agossah (Managing Editor) // Logan Moore (Special Guest) January 4: Game of the Year Awards 2020 Official Winners Revealed

10 Cyberpunk TV Shows To Watch If You Play Cyberpunk 2077

2025-10-06T03:56:12Z

VeraMackinolty:

With Cyberpunk 2077 just recently emerged from development hell, the cyberpunk genre might actually get some renewed interest. As Blade Runner 2049' s __ box office return proved, the world was not quite ready yet for cyberpunk. But that was then and Cyberpunk 2077 has since come out to bear that artistic torch once more. RELATED: 5 Best Sci-Fi (& 5 Best Fantasy) Shows Of 2020, According To IMDb Chance are, most of its players will have developed a lovely palate to consume some more cyberpunk media and yet there are only a few movies in the genre. Hence, turning one's attention to TV shows isn't a bad idea for those seeking a bit of prolonged cyberpunk escapism or for those looking for whatever could go wrong in the near future. Altered Carbon Sadly canceled by Netflix, Altered Carbon 's two seasons are nonetheless a wild ride. The series explored the essential 'revival' of a man named Takeshi Kovacs, who only existed as a consciousness that needed other dead humans' physical bodies to practically exist. Takeshi was also a member of a rebel group who tried to take on mega-corporations and the ruling class, not unlike what transpired in Cyberpunk 2077 's Night City. The cyberpunk theme mostly serves as a stage or backdrop for an intricate crime investigation plot in the first season. The second season is more about Takeshi's journey to reunite with a long-lost love and friend, and this time, he's more free to do what he wants. Almost Human Anyone who's played through the story-heavy [https://Demokrasi43.com/ RPG Game Missions] Detroit: Become Human will find this one a delight. It has a similar plot where an old and prejudiced human cop gets paired with an android partner. That cop is named John Kennex and he lost a human friend due to the accidental negligence of some android cops. RELATED: 10 Sci-Fi Horror Movies To Watch If You Love Alien So it's a poetic irony that John gets paired with one of them while his psychological wounds are still fresh. However, the android he's paired with just might sway him and change his opinion about robots, as the series explores what exactly it means to be a human being. Incorporated Incorporated ' s plot is simple enough. It follows the usual premise of cyberpunk worlds where companies and corporations rule everything and are more powerful than whole countries. Given what the world economy looks like today, that's not exactly too far-fetched, but the difference in Incorporated is how one man decided to bring it all down. This was not exactly intentional, however, the protagonist, Aaron, has the goal of finding his childhood love Elena and in order to do so, he has to impersonate as a manager in the richest corporation in his world and rise up in the ranks. In doing so, he's actually tearing the company apart, brick by brick. TekWar TekWar is an old one from 1994 and much like most cyberpunk series and films, it's a cop drama, but with the added flavor of a cyberpunk world. The series is also a direct adaptation of the novels written by Ron Goulart. Hence, it features a futuristic experimental drug named Tek. RELATED: 10 Sci-Fi Films That Take Place In A 'Future' That Has Passed It's a powerful hallucinogenic drug that pretty much functions like an inhalable VR headset. The whole show revolves around the drug and introduces cyberpunk gimmicks related to virtual reality, as well as the typical syndicates involved in distributing them. Mann & Machine Even older than TekWar , Mann & Machine _ is a 1992 classic TV series whose quality might put off the regular youngster these days. Still, its story is quite similar to _Almost Human , in which a cop gets paired with an android who is about as experienced as a rookie police officer. The catch is that the android cop partner is a beautiful bot played by Yancy Butler in her prime. The android cop also doesn't understand idioms, so it's more of a mentor and master relationship between a veteran officer and his lovely junior. Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Now on to animated shows. In order to become well-acquainted with cyberpunk , one has to have seen one of the most successful cyberpunk anime, Ghost in the Shell . On top of a highly-influential film that provided the inspiration for The Matrix , it also has an anime series. RELATED: 10 Movies Cyberpunk 2077 Fans Need To Watch This would be Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and it expands on Major Motoko Kusanagi's tenure as an esteemed police special unit as she tackles the drawbacks that come with futuristic cybernetics: cyborg criminals. Among them, an enigmatic hacker named "The Laughing Man" keeps Kusanagi's hands fuller than usual. Bubblegum Crisis Before Ghost in the Shell even got its first anime adaptation, 1987's Bubblegum Crisis was already making female cyborgs kick all sort of butt. It's an anime series that evokes the 1980s aesthetic all too well from the art style to the neon lights and even the hairstyles or clothing. As for the anime itself, Bubblegum Crisis pits the Knight Sabers, a group of female mercenaries equipped with powerful exoskeletons, against a group of robots that have gone rogue. It just so happens that these robots are often the result of a corporation that's hung up on their own power and greed, making their experiments and trials go awry. Psycho-Pass Psycho-Pass is popularly known as the anime version of Minority Report. It also explores the notion of predicting crimes and future criminal behavior among individuals as a pre-emptive system of law enforcement. But since it's a system in its infancy, it's bound to be messy. RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077 & 8 Other Awesome Video Games Keanu Reeves Appears In In the middle of it all is a novice cop named Akane Tsunemori, with her idealistic views on upholding justice. She is, however, paired with a veteran officer who gradually shows her that their futuristic law enforcement system is not without its own faults and oftentimes serves unjust judgments. Ergo Proxy For a cyberpunk anime more philosophical than Ghost in the Shell , Ergo Proxy might scratch the itch. Much like other cyberpunk media that feature robots, Ergo Proxy also toys with the notion of machine self-awareness and humanization. It does so by making the premise a semi-post-apocalyptic world where humans made AutoRevs, or androids, to help them recover civilization, bit-by-bit. However, things become more complicated when the AutoRevs start contracting computer viruses that give them human emotions and consciousness. Batman Beyond Last but not least is one of the most underrated offerings from the Batman-verse, Batman Beyond . It delves into the deep and dark future of the caped crusader, as Bruce Wayne is succeeded by Terry McGinnis as the next Batman. Of course, things have changed around Gotham and it's now a cyberpunk hellhole, seething with crime and excess. Batman's enemies are more difficult for that matter since he's not just up against the usual lunatics in costume but also against corrupt authorities and the apathetic populace. This one is certainly one of the most unique takes on the dark knight and shouldn't be missed, and the cyberpunk setting is just the icing on the cake.

Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Best Skills In The Intelligence Tree

2025-10-06T03:37:36Z

VeraMackinolty:

With the release of Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0, Attributes have been given a revamp. Everything has changed when it comes to the best perks in Cyberpunk 2077 , and players have a seemingly infinite amount of possibilities available to them and their builds, including the Intelligence tree, which is dedicated to assisting in the power of the player’s netrunning abilities. Players can progress through the Intelligence tree to unlock some great skills to create the best build in Cyberpunk 2077 that involves Smart Weapons, hacking abilities, and the true powers of a netrunner. Every 4 Attribute Points put into the Intelligence tree will also provide players with a +1 Max RAM, meaning their hacking powers will only grow the more they invest into the best Intelligence skills in Cyberpunk 2077 . Updated November 8, 2023 by Erik Petrovich : This list of the best Cyberpunk 2077 Intelligence Perks has been updated to reflect the many changes of the 2.0 update , including its nearly complete overhaul of the [https://Demokrasi43.com/ RPG Game weapons]'s skill and perk system. But just knowing what each perk does isn't quite enough to give players an idea of what makes them good – when taking the cyber-lingo of the Cyberpunk 2077 world into account, understanding abilities can be challenging. To help players make the best choices, this guide to the best Intelligence skills Cyberpunk 2077 players can get offers brief descriptions of why each perk is better than others previously listed, and goes into brief detail on the sub-perks that branch out from each parent perk being recommended. Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 4 Other Prerequisites : None Eye in the Sky is a good starting point for those who want to invest in the Intelligence tree. Not only is it necessary to pick up to continue through the left side of the skill tree, but it is also pretty useful to help players with their observation skills. Eye in the Sky will automatically highlight nearby Access Points and Cameras, so players can better understand the area they are in. There is also a -1 RAM cost with a +50% duration to the Control, Convert, and Distract Enemies quickhacks when they are uploaded through a camera, meaning players have better navigation when it comes to stealthy actions thanks to Eye in the Sky. Forcekill Cypher : The length of Access Point hack puzzle sequences is reduced by 1 Warning: Explosion Hazard : Hacked devices deal 40% increased Explosion Damage, and an extra 80% Explosion Damage (120% total) to enemies affected by Quickhacks Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 9 Other Prerequisites : Fully upgraded Eye In The Sky perk To further progress in the left Intelligence tree, players need to invest 2 Perk Points into Hack Queue. This Will grant players +1 Max RAM, and also unlock quickhack queues. Quickhack queues allow players to upload 2 quickhacks on a single enemy. These queued quickhacks are automatically uploaded in the order that they were added, and the Hack Queue perk will also grant a +30% upload speed to the second quickhack. This means that players can effectively chain their hacks on enemies unknowing, or otherwise. Feedback Loop : 25% increased RAM recovery for each Quickhack currently queued Data Recycler : Neutralizing an enemy recovers 80% of RAM from remaining Quickhacks in their queue Copy-Paste : Using Quickhacks on enemy Netrunners who are targeting V can spread Quickhacks to nearby enemies Counter-Hack : Grants the ability to counter-hack Netrunners that are targeting the player, even through walls. -1 RAM cost to Quickhacks performed on these Netrunners. Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 15 Other Prerequisites : Fully upgraded Eye In The Sky and Hack Queue perks Reaching close to the max level of the left side of the Intelligence skill tree, Queue Acceleration is up next. Players need to invest 3 Perk Points into this perk, with the first point giving players a +1 to their Max RAM. At the second point, players will be given a -1 RAM cost to quickhack devices and vehicles, and level three is where it thrives. At level 3, players can add another quickhack to their total queue size, and there is a +60 upload speed for the third or later quickhack in the queue. Finisher: Live Wire : Press F near enemies at low HP to perform a Finisher with the Monowire. More Quickhacks queued on enemies makes them more susceptible. Restores 15 HP and 5 RAM Queue Prioritization : The first Quickhack in a queue of at least two Quickhacks gains 50% Upload Speed Queue HACK_ROOT : RAM is reduced by 1 for Quickhacks of a different category than the first Quickhack in a queue – if the first is a Combat Quickhack, a Control Quickhack queued afterwards will have its cost reduced by 1 Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 20 Other Prerequisites : Fully upgraded Eye In The Sky, Hack Queue, and Queue Acceleration perks To become a true netrunner, Queue Mastery is a must. When players put a point into this skill, they will be granted an additional slot for their quickhack queue size. This last quickhack can fill the queue with a -50% RAM cost. Doing so will lock the queue until all quickhacks have been uploaded. Even better still, an enemy that has been locked into a quickhack queue will receive +15% damage against them. Even Johnny Silverhand would have to admit that's pretty cool. Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 4 Other Prerequisites : None In the middle perk deck for Intelligence, players can pick up their starting skill with Optimization. This perk will grant players a +35% RAM recovery rate, which is great for those players that are seeking to use a lot of RAM on a lot of quickhacks, as it means that they can use the area and their enemies to their advantage without having to wait long periods of time. Proximate Propagation : RAM cost is reduced by up to 35%, based on how close the target is to V Encryption : All Quickhacks traceability is reduced by 30% Subordination : Control Quickhacks used on enemies with full HP receive double duration Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 9 Other Prerequisites : Fully upgraded Optimization perk The next skill, Embedded Exploit, requires 2 points for players to proceed up the tree. At level 1, players will receive a further +10% to their RAM recovery rate. To make matters even better , a +60% quickhack damage against enemies is granted, but only to those enemies that have been affected by the Control, Covert, or Distract Enemies quickhack. Night City has never been so dangerous. Shadowrunner : After performing a Takedown, current Trace Progress is reset Icepick : -1 RAM cost for Combat quickhacks, but only after the enemy that has been targeted has been the victim of a Control, Covert, or Distract Enemies quickhack. Siphon : Monowire attacks recover 0.5 RAM, which increases to 1 RAM per hit if the player attacks an enemy affected or targeted by a Quickhack System Overwhelm : Quickhack damage is increased by 7% for each unique Quickhack on the target Speculation : Recover 25% of the total RAM cost of all Quickhacks affecting an enemy that dies due to a Quickhack Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 15 Other Prerequisites : Fully upgraded Optimization and Embedded Exploit perks Overclock is another perk to continue the middle skill tree, and it has three tiers. Tier 1 will grant a 10% recovery rate to RAM, whereas tier 2 will provide players with an additional 10% damage to quickhacks targeted at enemies. The final third tier will unlock Overclock mode. Overclock can be activated manually with the action button if the player has a cyberdeck installed. In this mode, players can use quickhacks regardless of their RAM capabilities, meaning players can chain quickhacks, but, this comes at the cost of 1 Health. It has a duration of 14 seconds and a cooldown of 30 seconds. Power Surge : Instantly restore HP for 5x max RAM granting players a boost of health when using Overclock – keep the fight going like Adam Smasher. Race Against Mind : When Overclosk is active, Quickhack damage is increased up to 50% the lower V's HP is, based on when the Quickhack is uploaded Sublimation : When Overclock is active, RAM recovery effects also regenerates HP, which helps to offset the HP loss from the use of Overclock Blood Daemon : V gains 40 HP for each Quickhack in a neutralized enemy's queue when Overclock is active Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 20 Other Prerequisites : Fully upgraded Optimization, Embedded Exploit, and Overclock perks Spillover is the final perk in the middle section of the Intelligence deck. If players want to start a chain reaction of death and infect an entire army of gang members, corpos, or soldiers that are a threat, then Spillover is just the perk for them. Spillover works with Overclock, as when this mode is active, players will be given a 50% chance for quickhacks to spread to an additional target, ensuring a domino effect of death will follow the player. Quickhack skills might not be for everyone, but in the right hands, the player can become a netrunner that even the most rogue AIs in Cyberpunk 2077 will fear. Attribute Requirement : Intelligence lvl 20 Other Prerequisites : Fully upgraded Optimization perk Smart Synergy is the final Intelligence perk on the right side of the skill tree. However, if players want to pick this perk up, then they are going to need the level 3 Overclock perk in the middle tree, and the Target Lock Transfer on the right tree. This means that perhaps not every player would want to pick up this perk, but Smart Synergy could be worth the effort, depending on the build that the player is going for, and if they see a Smart Weapon as an absolute must-have for their play style . Smart Synergy only affects Smart Weapons, and it works once Overclock has been activated. Once active, Smart Weapons will be given an instant target lock, as well as a 25% bonus damage if the targeted enemy has been affected by a quickhack. This is a whopping increase in damage, and perfectly combines the two most crucial elements of an Intelligence build : both quickhacks and Smart Weapons.

One of the most important aspects of playing **Cyberpunk 2077 ** is for players to decide exactly what kind of character they want to play as. There is a very wide selection of different builds for players to choose from as they can be a sneaky hacker who dispatches their enemies with silenced weapons or they can be a large hulking brute who cracks their enemy's skulls open. Any build is viable in the game as long as players know what weapons to choose. Related: Cyberpunk 2077 Already Discounted In Amazon Holiday [https://demokrasi43.com/ RPG Game Missions] Sale Knowing exactly what weapon to pick can be a pretty difficult process for players though because there is just so much out there. With such a massive amount of weapons to choose from players will want to know what to use and where they can acquire them. Those who are going for a melee build especially will want to know what the best melee weapons in the game are. This guide shows the best unique melee weapons and where to find them. Cyberpunk 2077 - Best Unique Melee Weapons Cottonmouth - While most melee builds are centered around dealing raw damage to enemies right up front, some players will want to focus on status effect damage instead that deals damage continuously over time. The Cottonmouth is the ideal electric baton for players like that because it has the chance to deal either shock or poison damage on every swing. This means that when players are attacking enemies there is a pretty good chance that at least one of the effects will trigger. The Cottonmouth does have a fairly high damage amount as well, but swings a little more slowly than a lot of players may prefer. In order to find this weapon players will need to make it to the 11th mission in the game "The Space In Between" and find it inside Fingers' office. Tsumetogi - When it comes to raw damage per second for melee weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 , the Tsumetogi katana is by far the best option available for players. This weapon has the highest base DPS count of any other katana in the game as long as players aren't using certain special abilities. There is also a small chance to shock enemies with every swing, which is fairly likely to happen since the Tsumetogi can be swung five times every second. On top of all of this though this katana also grants players increased shock resistance, which can be highly necessary for a vast majority of fights in the game. In order to track it down, players will need to do the Pisces side quest for Judy. Players will find it in the room with the Tyger Claw bosses either on the table or on one of the enemy's bodies. Gold-Plated Baseball Bat - Most players don't typically like using clubs in Cyberpunk 2077 because of how slow they typically are swung, but there is nothing to worry about with the Gold-Plated Baseball Bat. This weapon swings just as quickly as most of the katanas in the game at five swings per second, which means that its DPS is astronomical. There are also chances to both stun and cause bleeding to enemies, which means that it is highly likely that these effects will be triggered during the course of a combo. This weapon is fast and packs a heavy punch, so it is perfect for almost any player's inventory. It can be found by taking the Second Conflict Side Job, where it will be in the pool that has been filled with cement. Jinchu-Maru - This is an interesting katana that is really only useful to players who are using a specific cybernetic ability, but those who are will be able to deal massive amounts of damage to their foes. All players who use it will be able to deal double damage to any enemy that has at least twice as much health as them, which makes it great to use against bosses. Those who have the Kerenzikov ability (the one that slows downtime for a few seconds ever so often) will be able to be to deal critical hits with every strike and double damage on their last strike as long as it is active. This means that players who wield this weapon properly can potentially do quadruple damage against stronger enemies. Players will find this weapon during the job Play It Safe where it is dropped by Oda. Tinker Bell - This is a very odd weapon that's stats seem a little counter-intuitive on paper. The Tinker Bell automatically does reduced damage against enemies as part of one of its abilities, but to counteract this it also has the chance to knock an enemy unconscious momentarily. This means that players will be able to attack an enemy without worrying about them being able to attack back. On top of this, there is also a small chance of dealing shock damage to enemies on every swing, and this damage can even stack on top of the stun damage. When used effectively players will be able to render enemies completely immobile. Players will be able to find this weapon during River's Hunt quest underneath a tree at Edgewood Farm. Caretaker's Spade - For those who nothing but raw power there is no better weapon to choose than the Caretaker's Spade. It is the weapon with the highest damage stat in the game, and on top of that, it has three mod slots that allow players to boost its insane damage even higher if they so wish. There are no additional effects with this weapon or special abilities though, so players will only be dealing basic damage. The most interesting aspect of this weapon is the fact that it doesn't fit in with any other weapon class. There are no other shovels available in the game and this one doesn't behave quite like any other melee weapon. In order to track this one down, players will have to play through the final mission of the game where it will be sitting near a conference table against a tree. Stinger - Without a doubt, one of the best weapons available in Cyberpunk 2077 is Stinger, which is bizarre as this small knife doesn't look like much at first. Its damage stat isn't nearly as high as some of the other weapons on this list, but what it has going for it is the fact that it can be swung almost 7 times per second. When you factor in the Stinger's small chance to do poison with 7 attack per second, it means that players will be poisoning nearly every enemy they attack. On top of this though the Stinger gains the benefit of all being able to make use of all of the Cybernetic Blades upgrades that Katanas get. With those in place it has the potential to dish out more damage than any other weapon in the game, guns included. Players will need to wait until they are able to complete the side job "I'll Fly Away" which gives them the Stinger as a reward.
