Cyberpunk 2077 Build Guide: The Only Netrunner & Netlauncher Setup You’ll Need for 2025

Cyberpunk 2077

In Night City’s shadowy underbelly, the Netrunner reigns supreme—turning enemies’ cyberware against them before they draw a weapon. But 2025’s meta demands more than quickhacks alone: the Netlauncher has evolved from a novelty to a must-have, complementing stealthy hacks with explosive crowd control. This build merges both playstyles into a seamless force, optimized for Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and Patch 2.3. By the end, you’ll turn Dogtown’s mercenaries into walking glitches—without breaking a sweat.

Core Attributes: Intelligence First, Reflexes Second

Every Netrunner lives or dies by their ability to manipulate data—and that starts with attribute points. Prioritize Intelligence above all else: it boosts RAM capacity, quickhack damage, and unlocks game-changing perks. Pair it with Reflexes to master smart weapons (your backup when hacks go loud) and Technical Ability for cyberware upgrades. Here’s the ideal distribution for Level 60 (with Phantom Liberty):
 
  • Intelligence: 20 (Max out first—unlocks Tier 5 perks like Overclock)
  • Reflexes: 18 (Critical for smart weapon accuracy and handling)
  • Technical Ability: 15 (Enables top-tier cyberdecks and armor mods)
  • Cool: 5 (Just enough for basic stealth perks; skip Body entirely)
 
As CD Projekt Red confirms on the Cyberpunk 2077官网, Intelligence directly correlates to quickhack efficiency—skimping here turns you into a glorified script kiddie, not a Night City legend.

Perk Breakdown: Queue Hacks, Recover RAM, Dominate

Perks make the difference between a good Netrunner and a godlike one. Focus on three trees: Intelligence, Reflexes, and Technical Ability.

Intelligence (Non-Negotiable Picks)

  • Queue Acceleration (Tier 3): Increases max RAM by 4 and lets you queue 2 quickhacks simultaneously—essential for chain reactions .
  • Embedded Exploit (Tier 4): Adds 30% quickhack damage to enemies already affected by hacks. Pair it with Contagion to turn mobs into viral bombs .
  • Overclock (Tier 5): The build’s backbone. When RAM runs low, use health instead to cast quickhacks. With the right cyberware, you’ll never fear depleting resources .
  • Recirculation (Tier 4): Killing enemies with smart weapons restores 2 RAM. Turns your backup plan into a RAM farm .

Reflexes (Smart Weapon Synergy)

  • Ready, Rested, Reloaded (Tier 2): Cuts reload time for SMGs by 25%—critical when you need to finish a hacked enemy fast .
  • Sharpshooter (Tier 3): Boosts smart weapon accuracy by 40%. Your Shingen Mark V will hit targets through cover .

Technical Ability (Survival & Cyberware)

  • All Things Cyber (Tier 3): Reduces cyberware capacity cost by 10%. Lets you equip high-end gear without sacrificing mods .
  • Health Freak (Tier 2): Speeds up health item recharge—vital for surviving Overclock’s health drain .

Cyberware: Your Brain Is a Weapon—Upgrade It

Cyberware transforms V from a merc into a hacking machine. Your Cyberdeck is non-negotiable; choose based on playstyle:
 
  • Raven Microcyber (Best for crowds): Quickhacks spread instantly to 2 nearby enemies. Wipe out a room of Maelstrom goons before they spot you .
  • Tetratronic Rippler Mk.5 (Best for bosses): Cuts quickhack execution time by 50% and cooldowns by 30%. Tear through Adam Smasher’s cyberware in seconds .
 
Pair your deck with these must-have implants:
 
  • Ex-Disk (Frontal Cortex): Adds 3 RAM and speeds up quickhack uploads by 20% .
  • Smart Link (Hands): Mandatory for smart weapons—lets bullets home in on targets. Also adds 2 RAM .
  • Blood Pump (Circulatory System): Instantly heals 30% health when damaged. Counteracts Overclock’s health cost .
  • Optical Camo (Integumentary System): For emergency repositioning. Hack a camera, go invisible, and queue hacks from safety .
 
All cyberware is available via ripperdocs in Dogtown—check the Phantom Liberty官网 for exact locations.

Weapons: Netlauncher + Smart Guns = Unstoppable

This build isn’t just about hacking—it’s about merging hacks with firepower. Your loadout has three roles: crowd control (Netlauncher), sustained damage (smart SMG), and stealth (silenced smart weapon).

Primary: Netlauncher – Militech MGL-32

The star of 2025’s meta. This explosive launcher fires hackable projectiles that turn enemies into walking disruptors. Use these ammo types:
 
  • Short Circuit Rounds: Electrocute groups and disable robots .
  • Contagion Rounds: Spread viruses that bypass armor. Pair with your Contagion quickhack for a 1-2 punch.
 
Find it during the “Firestarter” quest in Pacifica, or buy it from Wilson at the Afterlife.

Secondary: Smart SMG – Prototype Shingen Mark V

Iconic, deadly, and hack-friendly. This Arasaka weapon fires self-guided bullets that lock onto 3 targets at once . Mod it with:
 
  • Crunch Mods (x4): Boost damage by 20% total.
  • RC-7 Aswang Muzzle: Adds 17% damage and reduces recoil .
 
Loot it from a trailer marked “667” in Arasaka Industrial Park—detailed on the Cyberpunk 2077 Wiki (endorsed by CDPR).

Tertiary: Silenced Smart SMG – Pizdets

For stealth missions. This unique weapon has a 2.5x headshot multiplier and fires silently. Grab it from Boris during “Spy in the Jungle” in Dogtown .

Quickhacks: The Perfect Queue

Your quickhack loadout should prioritize crowd control, stealth, and chain reactions. Stick to these 5:
 
  1. Ping: Detect enemies through walls—never walk into an ambush .
  2. Contagion: Spreads a virus that deals 150% damage over 10 seconds. Start with this to soften crowds .
  3. Cyberpsychosis: Instantly kills 1 enemy and makes them attack allies. Use on lieutenants to spark chaos .
  4. Short Circuit: Disables robots and stuns organic enemies. Counter cyberpsychos with this .
  5. Memory Wipe: Erase an enemy’s awareness if you’re spotted. Reset stealth without reloading .

Playstyle: Hack, Shoot, Repeat

The beauty of this build is its flexibility. Here’s how to dominate in any scenario:
 
  1. Stealth Start: Use Ping to map the area. Queue Contagion + Cyberpsychosis on a lone enemy. Watch as the virus spreads, and allies turn on each other.
  2. Go Loud: If detected, fire your Netlauncher’s Short Circuit Rounds to stun groups. Switch to the Shingen Mark V—its smart bullets will pick off stunned enemies, restoring RAM via Recirculation.
  3. Boss Fights: Use the Tetratronic Rippler to spam Short Circuit and Overheat. When RAM runs low, activate Overclock and finish with headshots from your SMG.

Final Verdict: The Definitive 2025 Netrunner Build

This setup fixes the classic Netrunner flaw—reliance on RAM—by merging quickhacks with the Netlauncher and smart weapons. It’s optimized for Ultimate Edition, uses 2025’s meta gear, and works in every region from Watson to Dogtown. Best of all, it’s accessible: no need to grind for weeks—most gear is obtainable by Level 40.
 
As CDPR’s latest patch notes confirm, Netrunners are more powerful than ever. With this build, you won’t just play Cyberpunk 2077—you’ll rewrite Night City’s code. Now go hack, launch, and conquer.
 
Want to tweak this build for your playstyle? Let me know if you prefer more stealth (I can add Cool perks) or raw damage (I’ll swap the Netlauncher for a smart shotgun). I can also share exact ripperdoc locations for that elusive Raven Microcyber!
THE END
