Finally started Cyberpunk.... I can't stop climbing everything.

2026-07-05 21:19 UTC

I’m like 8 hours in and all I’ve been doing is climbing things, skirting little ledges around buildings to see if I can get higher, and constantly using ping/distract on things on the ground. I don’t know why. I’ve only found 2 places where I could break a window with a bat and sneak into a building, most floors and buildings seem only for show with no real interior. But… since I know breakable windows and secret entrances and shit exists I can’t stop looking for it. I’m only level 7, but climbing high and lighting everyone on fire with technomagic is my kind of great combat. I was really surprised to find out that actually lighting people on fire until they run out of health somehow doesn’t count as killing them and they just go “downed”… so I can get the bonus from some quests for not killing, then go back with a katana and dice them up. <3

I just picked it back up last night to do a new playthrough. I did one playthrough as a corpo before they reset all the perks and later released Phantom Liberty. Picked a streetkid this time. Only had a few hours to throw at it, but I’m quite enjoying playing again.

most of the cyberwware hack type of attacks don’t kill. I think suicide might be the only one as it causes them to kill themselves.

Just wait until you get more advanced cyberware. There are leg modules for double or charged jump. With that and the air dash ability under Reflex, you can leap like a mighty cyber-gazelle across the city, faster than many cars.

Would like some advice on how to get invested in the game. Got past the tutorial into a bit more open world and I’m torn between side quests and the main quest. Worried I’ll go into some territory that I’m not prepared for. It’s a beautiful game. Just want to find that groove.

i have recently decided to revisit the game. my first run was a Nomad solo running at people with a shotgun. now i have decided to do a Corpo netrunner build with some sword melee mixed in.

yeah. double jump is like the first cyberwar to get and the dex tree mid air dash is great. wait till you get the gun that lets you blast the motorcycle into the air.

That was my main hobby in this game. I spent my time climbing as high as I possibly could, unfortunately at some point buildings have no collisions anymore. It’s super fun though. Wait till you get all the movement upgrades !
