Are you unsure where to put your skill points and perk points in Cyberpunk 2077? Look no further than this levelling guide!
As you begin to take the reigns of V in Cyberpunk 2077, either as a dusty nomad, dirty street kid, or soulless corpo, you’ll find yourself presented with dozens of options every time you level up. It’s all a bit overwhelming and it can be difficult to see exactly where to spend your points, and what is worth spending points on. This guide will walk you through the leveling system of Cyberpunk 2077, and give a few examples of where you spend some of your skill points early in the game. Other Cyberpunk 2077 guides: Tips and Tricks to Get Started When you level up, you’ll be awarded some Attribute points. Perk points are unlocked a little differently, but we’ll get to that in a moment. These attribute points really change your character level by level and need to be spent wisely in order to survive in the more dangerous regions of Night City. Attributes are like your governing abilities, like your strength, dexterity, and intelligence in Dungeons and Dragons, or SPECIAL in the Fallout series. In Cyberpunk 2077, these attributes are Body, Reflexes, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Cool. Body affects your physical strength and endurance. Reflexes are your hand-eye coordination. Technical Ability is your understanding of machines. Intelligence governs your ability to interface with computers. Cool manages your stealth, as well as charisma. Every point you put in these attributes will increase your skills in the areas they govern. They will also give you access to unique routes, dialogue options, and possibilities that you otherwise would not be able to use. This can be anything from unlocking a window with your Technical Ability, turning off the security cameras with Intelligence, smashing open a door with Body, or talking your way out of trouble with Cool. Each of these attributes maxes out at 20, but you won’t have enough attribute points to max them all out in one playthrough, so you’ll have to specialise in whichever playstyle you’d like.
