Cyberpunk 2077 has a complex level up system with stats and points to spend, but you never get enough points to make yourself a powerful all-rounder. You need to specialise in a specific area. In this guide, I’ll talk you through the best perks for a Gunslinger class so you can become the most feared cowboy in Night City.

Before we dive into the perks, though, let’s talk stats.

Cyberpunk 2077 Best Stats For A Gunslinger Build

Here are the five specialisations you can put points into and how they affect your overall stats:

Body

• Add 5 health, add 3 stamina
• Increase damage with fists and gorilla arms by 3
• Increase damage with melee weapons by 1.5%
• Decrease movement penalty when grabbing an enemy and wielding a HMG by 6%

Reflexes

• Increase passive evasion from enemy attacks by 1%
• Increase crit chance by 1%
• Increase damage from Mantis Blades by 3

Technical Ability

• Allows you to unlock doors
• Each point spent increases armour by 5%

Cool

• Increases crit damage by 2%
• Increases all resistances by 1%
• Increases stealth damage by 10%
• Reduces speed by which enemies detect you in stealth by 0.5%
• Increase mono wire damage by 3

Intelligence

• Increase cyber deck RAM capacity by 4%
• Increase quickhack damage by 0.5%

A Gunslinger should pump most of their points into Reflexes and Cool to increase that critical hit chance. Get that increased enough and you’ll be dropping people with clean headshots before you know it. It’s also worth putting some points into Body so you can increase your health, but don’t make that your focus. With this build, which is focused on speed and maneuverability, you should be able to avoid most damage. We also have some perks to help with survivability.

There’s a bit of crossover here with the Assault build, except here we’re focused on handguns. Because of that, you don’t have the same potential for carnage, which means you sometimes need to resort to stealth. The few stealth perks here are focused on using silencers and kicking off combat with a heavy hit. We’ve also got some Cold Blood in here to pair with an Annihilation perk that makes you do more damage the faster you’re going. Couple that with the ability to shoot and reload while sprinting, sliding, and dodging, and you’re a glass cannon that’s hard to hit.

With this Gunslinger build, the aim is to dodge as much as possible during combat. Successful dodges increase your natural evasion stat, so you can get in a rhythm of dodging to reload before spinning around for the next enemy. And you should be emptying your clips, since Grand Finale gives you extra damage for the last bullet in your pistol. Keep moving and keep firing, cowboy.
