Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty will allow you to replicate a lot of Lucy’s Netrunner build from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners after the version 2.0 update. The new patch has overhauled a lot of the existing systems, introducing new Perks in all of the Attributes while remaking some of the existing ones.

The Netrunner skills are much more fleshed out this time around, and you will be able to make a much more upgraded and powerful version of Lucy’s build as you make your way through the narrative.

However, with the new Perks, it can be a bit complicated to put a finger on the skills that you need to make the best Netrunner in Night City. This is why today’s Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty guide will go over the best skills and Cyberware to pick when creating Lucy’s build in 2.0.

  • You will upload the quickhack on the target if it hits without paying any RAM cost.

2) Data Tunneling

  • When an enemy is affected by a Monowire-uploaded quickhack normal Monowire attack that hits that enemy and other enemies will simultaneously spread the quickhack.

The Bioconductor will be one of the most important Cyberware to get early in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty 2.0. This is because the Frontal Cortex implant will let your quickhacks finally start to deal critical hits. It also comes with a 25% Crit Chance. However, once you are high level enough upgrade to COX-2 Cybersomatic Optimizer, it will all your combat quickhacks to then have 100% crit chance.

To complete the Lucy build, you will need the Thermal Monowire, which is one of her signature weapons. You will find the arms enhancement at most Ripperdocs, even at Viktor’s.
