Cyberpunk 2077: Gunslinger - complete character build Cyberpunk 2077 guide, walkthrough

Last update: Friday, February 19, 2021

On this page of the Cyberpunk 2077 guide, you will read about one of the suggested complete builds for your character. You'll learn how best to distribute attribute points, what equipment and mods to choose, and what perks to opt for.

Revolvers are one of the weapons that you can find in Cyberpunk 2077. What sets these weapons apart from the rest is the highest damage multiplier for headshots (up to 2.5x). With the right distribution of attribute points, with specific perks and modifications, you'll be able to take out your opponents with just one shot, even from a long distance!

Character creation

When you create a character in Cyberpunk 2077, you will be given 7 points to distribute among the five main attributes. It's important to note here that you can't assign them all to one attribute, because the limit of each attribute in the character creator has been set to 6. We suggest distributing the attribute points as follows:

  1. Reflexes: 6 points;
  2. Cool: 6 points;
  3. Body: 4 points.

Make sure you use all available attribute points when creating a new character. If you don't, the unused attribute points will be lost.

Key attributes

The main attributes for this suggested character build in Cyberpunk 2077 will be Reflexes and Cool. The rest of the attribute points should be assigned to Body.

  1. Reflexes: this attribute is mainly responsible for mobility and the chance of critical hits (1% per level), but it also unlocks the most important perks for handguns, namely revolvers and pistols;
  2. Cool: this attribute increases critical damage (2% per level) but also unlocks access to Cold Blood perks;
  3. Body: An additional attribute worth investing the remaining points into, but only after the previously mentioned main attributes have been maxed out. The Body attribute primarily increases the character's health and stamina.

Key perks

Below, you will find a detailed list of all of the most important perks that you should pay attention to while developing your character in Cyberpunk 2077. These perks will be crucial and they will greatly affect the efficiency of the Gunslinger build.

General Tips

  1. Always aim for the head to do as much damage as possible with one shot. In most cases, one accurately fired shot will instantly eliminate the target;
  2. If you don't have the Wild West perk yet, keep in mind that when you use pistols and revolvers, you do less damage to targets far away from you;
  3. When fighting a large group of enemies, use the available cover to reduce the damage you take and take accurate shots from a safe position;
  4. Look for a revolver that does as much damage per shot as possible, and don't use a silencer, which will lower it significantly;
  5. Remember that with the Grand Finale perk, the last bullet fired from a revolver or pistol deals double damage;
  6. Look for weapons with room for modifications to increase their stats with mods.
