However, for every point over the normal maximum, V will lose 0.5 HP, up to a total of 25 max HP lost. However, there is also an upside to maximizing equipped Cyberware – for every point over V's max capacity, players also gain a 0.1 chance to enter a Fury with each enemy downed, to a maximum of
When V shoots enemies who are at low health with Light or Heavy Machine Guns or Shotguns, there is a chance that they will be dismembered and be killed. The chance for this to occur increases as enemy HP goes down, up to a maximum 20% chance with every shot. To make the most of this skill, switch to a gun that fires faster when enemy health gets low for more frequent chances to trigger the dismemberment eff

The pistol has 81.09 base Damage and at the Legendary tier, the 3516 can inflict +66-83 Thermal Damage and its bullets can ricochet off surfaces.

While submachine guns are relatively ineffective at long ranges, they succeed incredibly well at the mid to short ranges. This makes the submachine gun a great counterpart to sniper rifles considering players will be able to cover all ranges effectively and use weapons that use different types of ammo. Many players may find these weapons useless on account of their very low damage stats when compared to assault rifles, but it must be remembered that they have a much higher rate of fire and are more maneuverable close-up. Players who want to be prepared for almost any situation will want a good submachine gun in their invent

But the real power of this Perk comes from the Driver Update sub-perk, as well as Chipware Connoisseur to a lesser extent. One of the biggest boosts in the RPG game Beginner guide comes from this perk because it adds an additional modifier to every piece of Cyberware V can install. Chipware Connoisseur offers players some level of choice when upgrading, but an extra stat on every Cyberware in the game is immediately noticea
Bolt is one of the more unique Technical perks in Cyberpunk 2077 because it has no pre-requisites, but can only be unlocked with 15 total points in the Technical tree.

Buzzsaw - This submachine gun is a joy to play around with as it will absolutely shred through enemies and combines some of the best aspects of both Power weapons and Tech weapons. For a submachine gun, this weapon packs a serious punch, and since it's a Power weapon it will also ricochet off of surfaces. This can make the weapon a very deadly presence already, but once it has been crafted it will randomly acquire either chemical, electrical, thermal, or physical damage, which will drastically increase its capabilities. By far the best aspect of this weapon though is that its bullets can penetrate through light cover just like the charged shots on a Tech gun. This means that players are able to shoot right through cover whenever they wish and decimate any foes that are hiding back there. Players can craft this weapon after picking up the blueprint from an enemy during a Suspected Crime mission in Norths

When unlocked, players can press a new input (labelled in the Perks screen) to slam the ground. Accessible every ten seconds, enemies in this close-range AoE attack's range will be damaged, staggered, and potentially knocked down. Performing it in mid-air makes it so that V slams to the ground below them, and sub-perks even make its damage scale with the distance fal
