Cyberpunk 2077 - Engineer build combat 49 (Very Hard): (Don't Fear) The Reaper

Thanks, I've done my best to make all four of my current builds feel unique from each other

20 Body, 17 Reflexes, 20 Tech, 20 Cool, 4 Int The 4 int was for some little quickhacking perks when I was running Ping + Breakthrough sniper, but I'm not using those here I'm using most of the Sniper/Handgun perks, Adrenaline perks, most of the dash perks, and pretty much everything in Technical Ability For cyberware it's Electrifying Rocket Arm, Falcon Sandevistan, Kerenzikov, Revulsor, Neofiber, Chitin, Pain editor, Cellular Adapter, Para Bellum, Bionic Joints, Epimorophic Skeleton, double jump, Feedback circuit, Biomonitor, Blood Pump, Stalker optics, Self-ice, Kerenzikov boost, Mechatronic Core, Johnny's Tattoo and Tyger Claws Tattoo (tattoos are just to fill the slots to get the cooldown reduction perk in the cyberware tree to activate). When the cyberware parts that give armor are all upgraded to 5++, I get about 1300-1400 armor rating Loadout (all at 5++): Rasetsu Achilles X-Mod2 (Mods are Wallpuncher and Tier 5 Supercharger for charge speed) Pariah Skill progression: 60 Headhunter 45 Netrunner 50 Shinobi 55 Solo 60 Engineer You don't need 45 Netrunner or 4 int unless you want some buffs to the Ping + Breakthrough build. 50 Shinobi is mostly for reloading on air dash, and 55 Solo is so Adrenaline lasts longer, but those last two are also extra since it's a moderate grind to obtain For clothing I have chest armor that increases reload speed, a helmet with explosion damage resistance, and a netrunning suit with incoming quickhack damage reduction A good strat with this build is to open with 1 or 2 salvos with the rocket arm to get the damage mitigation and movement speed buffs from the pyromania perks, and then spam bolt shots with Achilles X-Mod2 to fry groups of enemies. Pariah/Ambition are both good secondaries and Breakthrough/Rasetsu cover long range encounters so you get high versatility. Sandevistan usage should be limited to right after releasing the rocket arm salvo and while reloading because you don't want to waste its duration charging your arm or guns. Kerenzikov is fine for charging weapons since it actually helps you hit the tight bolt shot window on the Achilles. The window scales with charge time and the Achilles is really fast at 0.6s with Supercharger, and some perks make it even faster so it often comes down to luck or muscle memory for me, unless time slowdown is active. I also get a little time slowdown from one of the Focus perks from the sniper/handgun tree, so the effective bolt window is small and highly variable. I stopped using Widowmaker because it has about the same charge speed as Breakthrough, but less damage and accuracy, however the bolt window is longer and does it twice per trigger release so it's still good

The sniper is Rasetsu from a story mission about midway through the DLC called You Know My Name. The precision rifle is Achilles X-Mod2, which is tucked away in a hideout next to the big building called the Black Sapphire in Dogtown (not actually in the Black Sapphire like the sniper, it's tricky to find without a guide)

It's called Pariah, a silent Ticon variant from the DLC Spoilers: Betray Reed during Firestarter quest, then kill him during The Killing Moon quest.
