Cyberpunk 2077 kicked off the next generation of gaming with a bang, though the next-gen version of the game won't release until next year. Huge RPG CD Projekt Red has landed after years of anticipation, and during the review period, we saw it come to an end. Given the size and scope of the game, we feel we have some useful insights to share with players new to the game at launch, to help them have the most enjoyable experience possible in this inimitable dystopian world. Here is everything you need to know before playing Cyberpunk 2077.
1. Don't worry too much about the path of your life

(Image credit: Future/Screenshot) As launch approaches, many Cyberpunk trailers and marketers have mentioned the game's life path system. At the start of your game you will be asked to choose between Corpo, Street Kid or Nomad which will have an impact on the larger story. Get the best Xbox Series X deals before everyone else! We'll send you pre-order details and the best Xbox Series X deals as they become available. Please send me details of other relevant Techradar products and future brands. Please send me details of other relevant third party products. No spam, I promise. You can unsubscribe at any time and we will never share your data without your permission. It's a cool feature, but you don't really have to worry about it or be suspicious of it, as it doesn't have any major effect on gameplay beyond the first few hours. You'll start out in a different scenario depending on what you choose, but after that, the ramifications are minimal. We only ran into a situation or two in our game where being a nomad resolved a quest faster due to common ground with another character, and there were always other solutions. . So act on instinct and dig in!
2. Quick Save and Quick Load are your best friends

(Image credit: Future/Screenshot) Cyberpunk's fighting arenas have a Deus Ex essence to them, given the wide variety of ways you can approach them. That's why it's important to save frequently and use your quick saves to experiment in these situations, such as playing an immersive simulation game (Deus Ex and Dishonored are examples of such games). One of the most fun things you can have in Cyberpunk is knowing how to manipulate the environment to your advantage or trying to sneak into areas that are almost impossible to covertly approach. Just make sure you hit the pause button and hit Triangle/Y on your controller for a quick save before you try something silly...
3. Don't be a Jackie Welles of all trades, specialize in something
![Consejos Cyberpunk 2077]()
(Image credit: Future/Screenshot) One mistake we made during our gameplay was distributing our points too evenly across the basic in-game attributes. While we focused on technical skill and intelligence and have always become Satisfying hacker brains, the spread was too sparse to reach the revolutionary upper echelons of one-attribute unlockable skills that we now explore in the later game. . At first, it's appealing to get each attribute to a decent level, given that some weapons and cybernetic items are locked by your body's stat or reflexes, and you'll want to have enough knowledge to avoid awkward conversations or open doors. But focus on two main stats and push them much higher than the others to get the most out of the game, even if it's scary. You can reset your perk points (not attributes) on a Ripper Doc, but it costs 100,000 eddies, so be careful.
4. Seriously, don't rush the main missions.
Like Skyrim and other similar FPS RPGs, Cyberpunk's main quest line ends sooner than you think, especially if you're in a hurry. The game is designed in such a way that you carefully step away from the narrative to do your thing between the main story beats. Apart from unlocking special dialogues and ending options by developing side stories, the crucial aspect of this is that you will level up and improve your skills so that you can pass certain dialogue checks and meet the requirements. to open doors, hack devices and unlock alternative routes and additional opportunities in main missions. It is a game best played slowly. It could have been done in 20 hours, but we finished it at 45 just to get the most out of its characters, fights, and world. The good news is that you can return to your saved Point of No Return after completing any of the endings, so you don't have to do it all. Just make sure you complete all the story relevant side quests before entering the endgame. Trust us, it's worth it.
5. Get money-first hotspot skills and easy components

(Image credit: Future/Screenshot) In the skills menu, click the Violation Protocol tab under the Intelligence attribute and unlock the Advanced Datamine upgrades as soon as possible. Beyond the tough and limited street fights, hacking hotspots in Cyberpunk 2077 is the best way to earn Eurobucks, so by doubling your income every time you use one, you can more easily afford it. expensive upgrades to a Ripper Doc. You should also get the Datamine Mastermind ability that doubles the output of your components for each successful hack, as this will make crafting special items and upgrading your arsenal very easy and accessible in no time. and close your eyes.
6. Update your operating system as soon as possible
![Consejos Cyberpunk 2077]()
(Image credit: Future/Screenshot) Before purchasing Double Jump or any of the Cyber Weapons (such as Mantis or Monowire Blades), you must register and upgrade your primary OS to increase its capacity. At first, you'll only have a limited pool of RAM and three Quick Hacks at a time, which really limits the amount of havoc you can wreak in combat. You may not want to play as a hacker, but having more RAM early on will allow you to interact with more environmental elements to set up satisfying traps, taking advantage of the impressive possibilities of the game's immersive simulator-style systems.

(Image credit: Future/Screenshot) The humble phone call isn't nearly as dead in 2077 as it is in 2020, and V will get a surprising amount of blower time with his friends throughout the Cyberpunk story. Either way, it's easy to overlook the benefits of making fun calls with his friends to talk about things other than work. Once he has completed the main milestones of the campaign (especially when he suffers a loss, a clue), he should call all of his friends and check on them. In addition to being a good friend, the extra dialogue can lead to quests and content you might have missed otherwise. There's a surprising amount of depth involved with every contact that seems locked into these optional phone calls, so make sure you don't miss them!
