Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that lets gamers act like they do wants to. In terms of interactivity, interestingly, it resembles the last parts of Deus Ex.
One of the paths the player can follow is netrunner. Such a character, as a rule, does not like to engage in close combat, preferring act from afar and hack all possible devices.
In this Cyberpunk 2077 guide, the Wotpack editors will talk about the netrunner build with a specialization in fast hackingthat will show the enemies what it's like - turning technology against people, using only cyberdeck and a number of hacking programs - "demons".
Do you want maximum freedom of choice, but at the same time play as a netrunner? Then you should take a look at this picture.
Quick Hack Specialist - Features
This build involves the use of ranged weapons along with quick hack programs - demons and cyberdecks (devices for working with demons).
Viruses that are at the disposal of the hero, able to do a lot with enemies: turn off weapons, blind, set fire or poison. Particularly rare demons can even kill the enemy immediately, and what - it does not matter.
This build offers a versatile play style thanks to the ability to adjust for almost any situation.
How netrunner demons work
Malicious hacking software, which can be controlled by the player, allows both the general network and a specific enemy to be hacked. First software, with which V begins his journey as a netrunner, is Icebreaker. It allows you to reduce the cost of hacking by 1.
To take advantage of this program, you need to run "Hacking the Protocol". Then a field appears with a key that must be entered. If everything is done correctly, then the network will be hacked, in which case you can use more powerful demons, even mass ones.
The application of this program is what should be learned first of all. novice netrunner. This habit will save lives many times in the future.
Demons and RAM
In Cyberpunk 2077, a demon is a kind of ability that can be installed on your cyberdeck, a device for working with such software. All devices of this kind have different properties and advantages.
Some cyberdecks, for example, will allow you to load more programs into them for quick hacking, while others may give special bonuses or more RAM.
Legendary variants, importantly, can do all three things at once.
You can not only buy demons or, in extreme cases, get them by robbery, but even create them yourself. The higher the rarity of the demon, the more effects and stronger properties. For example, the uncommon version of Frying inflicts damage over time, and the rare will additionally become a goal.
In battle memory - resource consumed for the use of demons. Interestingly, the amount of malware actively marketed remains constant, but the amount of programs, as well as the amount needed to apply each virus, can be different.
There are many limits that this amount can be affected by: Perks and Demons, as well as the level of the enemy you are facing. Lower difficulty opponents use less RAM, and with a higher one - more.
By picking up RAM-replenishing perks, you can use these quick hacks repeatedly in combat, allowing you to take control of the battlefield or even kill enemies without firing a single shot. This can be considered similar to mage's playstyle in typical fantasy RPGs.
Attributes: Intelligence
The only attribute you really need to be a netrunner is Intelligence, since the vast majority of perks that affect fast hacking are inside this parameter.
In addition, the leveling of Intelligence will allow passively increase your RAMand script damage. Basically, if you want to be a clean runner, you have to get it as fast as possible.
If necessary, pour some glasses into reaction - With them, long-range combat becomes much easier. Another part of the points can be directed to the Body, which will probably increase the potential of the hero in the form of increased health and stamina.
The final score distribution should look something like this:
- Intelligence: 30 (priority skill to develop).
- Reaction: 20.
- Force: the remaining часть points here.
Netrunner Perks
In this section, we will pay attention to the perks that a netrunner needs to upgrade. In general, he most of all needs those that are located in such a characteristic as Intelligence. to this and need to focus.
[Intelligence] => [Quick Hack]
- Biosynergy. A netrunner always needs to have free memory that it can use to run daemon programs. This skill allows you to restore memory cells, which will make it possible to use VP more often to neutralize enemies.

- Forget-me-nots. Activating this perk allows V to regain one memory cell after killing an enemy with a demon.

You can also download that weapon's skills, which is preferred by the player.
Netrunner Equipment
Now consider what equipment is needed to play as a netrunner.
Weapon
The weapon you choose can be anything - this build for it not attached. For this reason, the player has complete freedom to choose what he wants to kill opponents with when not using programs.
Since the character will have great intelligence, but weak body, it is better for him not to let the enemies close, which means that he should take weapons for medium-range combat: assault or sniper rifles.
Armor
Since the netrunner needs to kill with his demons as quickly as possible, it is important for the player to find items that have Crit chance bonuses or Crete itself. This becomes especially important after activating the perk. Critical error.
Cyberdeca
The most important part of your build is, of course, the cyberdeck. We need to look for one that has energy recovery buff... This will allow more often use programs aimed at neutralizing or killing enemies.
In addition, a cyberdeck is needed that will allow host a large number of demons. So it will be easier for the player to use the desired program during the battle.
You need to try to look for only the best specimens, because without a good cyber deck our netrunner will not be able to fully fight with high-level opponents.
Final tips
At the start of a fight, always be guided by "protocol hack” to weaken enemies and increase their damage. It won't affect stealth, so you can just do it really fast and then get in position. Then pick a target, use your demons to weaken or kill her, and start the fight.
It would be nice to have at least one demon that spends few units of memoryso that it can be used even if you have very little of it. For example, jamming enemy weapons or blinding can allow you to simply run up to the enemy and kill him point-blank. Request- determine the relationship between opponents and devices.
Some quick hack programs work better against human enemies, others are against robots. It's good to have at least one Viral PO of each type so that you can deal more damage to any opponent.
Review the software you have in your inventory and make sure your cyberdeck is using just the right demons.
Lastly, don't rush to activate multiple demons at once when using Protocol Break. The timer won't start until you exit hack mode, so it's important to think things through beforehand and then move quickly and fight.
