The rocket arm with tranq is my backup. Main thing I use are quickhacks (legendary ping > contagion > short corcuit) plus comrades hammer (200k danage) I just breach, ping, upload hacks, then snipe through walls any stragglers.
Love the humour, anyone found any more cameo's? I've had two so far.
My favourite,
CDPR say that "Cyberpunk 2077 features over 50 influencers and streamers from around the world" the vast majority of which I've never heard of. In fact I only recognised a few like the John Wick reference (hitman with a dog mentioned during a side mission), the Youtuber Alanah Pearce (finding your original badlands car) and the one quoted above.
Difficulty is so random it is unreal - did a side mission in a hotel and one enemy type could 1 shot kill me and the others would kill me in under 2 seconds but the AI is so dumb I could just work them in and out of cover and kill them with a couple of magazines each. Then did a main story mission against what looked like a tough setup but the enemy couldn't even break my passive health regen except the static turrets which would kill me in 30-40 seconds if I just stood there and most of them were dying to 2 headshots from an AR.

Yes, I think each region must have some sort of level attached, but there seems no indication of what that level might be, or how it progresses, if you just travel around you can find yourself in a place where sneak missions can be completed, but combat you don't stand a chance. (I haven't a weapon capable of sqillions of damage yet)
I just run from place to place without looking - it doesn’t help when early story missions throw you into a high level area without making it obvious as the mission itself is lower risk.
This is why I sweep through districts like I did because you can run on foot no more than 100-200m between the next closest mission and you get a good mix/sample of gigs, side missions, NCPD missions and things like that, and they're all roughly the same level and if you're aiming for 100% completion it allows you to systematically clear out all these areas while your level is appropriate for them rather than having to come back later on to finish them off which at max level would be too easy and really boring. It requires the least quicktravel as well. Also if you want to 100% and you do all the story stuff first your enthusiasm tends to drop off once complete and it's hard to push yourself to do so much side content at the end. Which is why I use this tactic on most open world games I intend to 100%
You can get the legendary mantis blades for free from a chest near a cyberpsycho encounter near city center iirc.Tell me about it. The mantis blades aren’t as bad as I thought, I think I was just in a really high level area near the main story mission. Going to save up for the legendary set. Now I’ve moved elsewhere they are fine. Think I’ll stick with them - may struggle in close quarters with some bosses, but then I nade spam every single boss anyway. I barely have any of the blade perks either. This play through is very much a trial.
It’s a shame they ripped so much out of the game, the fast travel points seem really tacked on and there was clearly a train/metro system planned that would have been great.
Have just met Panam - cute![]()

yea it was a bad rubbish endingAnd completed the main story, bit of a let down the ending tbh.
Just finished the story, wow i love the ending i chose... went with Panam and i think i got the best of all worlds.
Yeah the "riding off into the sunset with Panam" ending is the best of all the endings for me, even if technically the "V becomes city boss" ending is supposed to be the big payoff. I've now done all the endings I think (7 so far) except the "secret one" and here's what I thought (in spoilers) -
1. Arasaka - V goes into the Soul Storage - Depressing
2. Arasaka - V wants to go home to die and is left in space looking back at Earth - Depressing
3. Rogue - V stays in his body and becomes City Boss doing 1 last big gig before leaving NC with Panam - OK technically it's two endings as one is with and one without Panam when you wake up. This depends on whether you phone Panam first before making the decision to use Rogue. Either way Panam is annoyed you didn't ask for help and you don't get to see her again after a brief cameo until the credits.
4. Rogue - Johnny takes V's body, leaves NC on a bus - Garbage!
5. Panam - V stays in his body and leaves NC with Panam to join the Altacados - Best ending by far.
6. Panam - Johnny takes V's body - Same ending as the Rogue mission where Johnny takes V's body - Garbage
7. Suicide - V commits suicide on the roof top - wow it's depressing and the voicemails played during the credits are devastating!
8. SECRET - not done this yet but I know how to activate it, however it meant having to replay about 10+hrs of game just for a specific conversation line choice to be made differently, otherwise the ending can NOT be done.
There maybe more depending on what
