Cyberpunk Version 2.0 Guide:
The achievement is unlocked when you
elevate a skill to its max level of level 60. There are
5 skills in Cyberpunk version 2.0 (or above) as listed below with the primary (but not all) the means of progression:
- ➤ Headhunter: Headshots. Also certain hacks like system shock result in headshot XP.
- ➤ Netrunner: Hacking
- ➤ Shinobi: Use blades: Katanas and cyberware designated as reflex attuned (Monowire, Mantis Blades, etc.) & (to a lesser extent) perform acrobatics: dashing, sliding, climbing, etc.
- ➤ Solo: Use body skills and weapons like shotguns, blunt melee, gorilla arms. If you use gorilla arms, make sure the variant you use is marked as body attuned.
- ➤ Engineer: Crafting and using tech weapons & cyberware marked as tech attuned
You can check on your skills and their progression by pressing
and choosing
character. On the lower right of your screen, you will see, "
Skill Progression." Click on it to bring up a screen with the 5 skills and your progression in each skill.
CAUTION: Skill progression in Cyberpunk version 2.0 (or above) is radically different from previous versions. There is no longer a direct correlation between attribute and skill. There is an indirect correlation. For example, the higher your intelligence and netrunner perks, the more quickhacks you acquire and the better you are able to progress in the netrunner skill. Nevertheless, even a character with low intelligence will be able to make decent progress by hacking terminals and other objects around you. In other words, it is the actions you perform, and not your attribute level that is the primary factor in your progression. The attribute level contributes insofar as it provides you with a greater variety of actions some of which have a greater impact on progression.
If you started a pre-version 2.0 game and have not yet popped this achievement: You may have been following one of the excellent TA guides. They no longer apply. Your efforts up until the 2.0 upgrade will not have been in vain. You are given credit for actions you have taken. Check your skill progression as described above. If you have not already done so, rebuild your character with the version 2.0 perk trees.
If you have not rebuilt your character, make a manual save before you do so as insurance in case you are dissatisfied with the results.
To assist you, on the official site, a build planner is provided:
https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/build-planner?a=33333&b=&am... This allows you to experiment with the allocation of attribute and perk points up to the max level of 60. So, you can do what-if scenarios based on your current level. Additionally, you can plan ahead and make an informed decision every time you level up. As one consideration, but not the most important one, investigate the perks that will help you with the skills that have shown the most progression so far
AFTER the 2.0 upgrade.
Moreover,
https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/news/48958/build-planner-craft-... provides a conceptual overview of the 2.0 system. It includes 3 level 60 builds as examples: Bullet-time Ninja, Hack & Slash Netrunner, and Savage Slugger Solo. For each example, there is a short video with an overview. Moreover, each example links to the character builder to show how attribute and perk points were assigned for the build. Accordingly, you can choose one of those builds, use it as-is or modify it according to your preferences, and continue your game. Alternatively, you can rebuild your character as you see fit in accordance with your preferred style of play.
Once you have rebuilt your character, choose the skill you want to work on--presumably one that already has decent progress. Progress through the story normally but focus on the actions that will increase skills. Check your progress periodically to ensure your game play is having the desired effect. Eventually, you will pop the achievement.
If you are playing
Cyberpunk 2077 Dlc you can 'farm' skill shards. Each gives a massive boost to its designated skill. There are two ways to farm them:
- Get to a Hansen Airdrop designated by a plume of orange smoke, defeat the guards, and open the orange container (it might or might not require quickhacks). The reward, as often as not, includes one or more skill shards.
- Perform a car delivery mission for El Capitán. The cars are designated by green wheel icons on the map. Once you take a car, Muamar (El Capitán) Reyes calls to give one or more additional objectives. If you accomplish all additional objectives, the rewards are greater and, more often than not, contain a skill shard.
The airdrops and vehicle missions are endless and continue even after you complete the main
Phantom Liberty story.
