Cyberpunk 2077 Very Hard Difficulty Build Guide

The Buzzsaw is the only silenceable weapon that can shoot through walls.

1. Use the Ping quickhack to reveal enemies behind walls
2. Crouch to activate stealth perks
3. Headshot enemies from behind cover with the Buzzsaw

This setup covers all ranges while maintaining stealth as your primary approach.

1. Buzzsaw – Primary weapon (wall penetration / stealth)
2. Fenrir / Raiju* – Sidearm (close-range when detected)
3. Overwatch – Sniper rifle (long-range)

You can grab the blueprints for the iconic Buzzsaw SMG from an organized crime activity in Watson extremely early in the game.

Use Ping to reveal enemy positions before taking wall-penetrating shots with the Buzzsaw. This requires no Intelligence investment.

Prioritize Reflexes early for damage, then Technical Ability and Cool for survivability and stealth scaling.
