How to increase your Netrunner level fast in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty (2.0)

The Netrunner is one of the most fun playstyles in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, especially after the Intelligence Attribute overhaul that was introduced by the 2.0 version update.

So if you are looking to go the way of the hacker in the game, then you are likely looking for ways to increase your Netrunner skill level as soon as possible. Here are some of the best ways to increase your Netrunner ranks fast in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty:

---

1) Hack every Access Point and Terminal you find

Access Points are not only a good source of money but will provide you with a fair bit of experience points in the Netrunner line. Try to solve all the sequences in as many Access Points that you come across as the more sequences you solve, and the more difficult the solution is, the more XP will you get.

2) Use combat quickhacks to take out enemies

During encounters rely on combat quickhacks as much as possible. Hacks like Short Circuit and Overheat will be some of the best choices in the early game when it comes to leveling up your Netrunner level as quickly as possible.

3) Overload devices

Overloading devices to take your enemies is another great way of earning experience points in the Netrunner line.

4) Use Ping and hack into cameras

Ping and camera hacking skills are some of the best tools in the Netrunner’s arsenal when it comes to scouting out a hostile area. But enemy intel is not the only thing that it will give you as turning off cameras or taking control of them and pinging enemies will get you XP for Netrunner progression.

5) Take control of enemies, drones, turrets, and vehicles

Control quickhacks will let you play around with the enemy by allowing you to take control of them as well as their toys. Not only will that help you make encounters easier, but allow you to increase your Netrunner rank in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty.

6) Use Smart weapons

Smart weapons are tied to the Netrunner line as well, so apart from quickhacking, you can use tech weapons to take out enemies as well to make out the skill line as soon as possible.

7) Get Netrunner Skill Shards

After looting enemies, lockers, and chests, you will often find Netrunner Skill Shards. These will instantly give you one level of progression in the skill line.
