* Dorph-Head (+100% mitigation chance after using health item)
* Ticking Time Bomb (-50% incoming damage while charging the EMP)
* Pyromania (+25% movement speed, +50% explosion damage and +50% mitigation chance)
* Optical Camo and many more.
Balance? It jumped out of the window long ago.

I use the Cyberdeck. Memory Wipe is awesome, you can make a guy not be able to see you mid combat and just wreck him. I use a low level version because it’s still affordable and bypasses the ludicrous RAM cost they intended to balance it.

I would blame the anime for all of this. They made the Sande a must need due to how prevalent it appeared in the anime. Now everyone wants to be David Martinez.

I think the biggest factor in this isn’t the anime. It’s because a stealth-netrunner build has been the default for everyone right up till 2.0, now that it’s out and things have been reworked, people are trying new things. Including Sandys

I ran pure Berserk and Mantis Blades all through PL and didn’t regret a single thing. Yeah Sandy is kinda cool but that shit’s boring. Taking on the PL bosses with Berserk as my ‘shit’s getting too hot’ option was fucking awesome. With the guaranteed invincibility it’s got a lot of utility, it does great damage, and you can pretty easily mow though like 6 – 10 guys in its 12 sec duration and get a full bar of health back at the end.

Beserk + Fury does turn you into an absolute blender tho
grabbing the blunt tree and getting ground smash to stun everything makes it real easy to rampage through hordes of enemies. toss in some plink dashing letting you close the gap on enemies between them firing bursts even without a Sandy? Melee in general is just REALLY strong atm

To me I’m more into cyberdeck because quick hat at ex helped me at least do some turn the tides of battle and I already have way dashing and my fist already stronger enough even without gorillas arms

I want to do a Sande build but I like hacking cameras too much to give up my Cyberdeck.

I use Berserk with Gorilla Arms. Just punching fools while being literally too angry to die is too much fun.

I like using berserk with Sasquatch’s hammer jumping into a group of enemies with the ground pound attack and watching them explode. I also like the new finisher that lets you pick people up and throw them.

I love Berserk
Matduka
My partner is on his first cyberpunk playthrough, and he’s gone gorilla arms berserk and he is LOVING it. And to be fair it looks like amazing fun. Especially with the ground slam.

The thing is sandevistan is blatantly overpowered.
“Enemies now use their sandevistan to counter yours” my ass.
slowing enemies to 15% means they cant do anything.
Berserk:
-Has no way to make the length longer
-doesnt give much higher boosts than Sandevistan
-Is melee Only
+makes you invincible (which you dont need if everything is slowed by 85%)
+no fall damage
+superhero landing (which is an unlock in the body tree anyway)
Berserk shouldnt make us invisible but give us really high health regen, huge armor bonus and a bonus to melee weapon damage and attackspeed, while only buffing firerate, accuracy, recoil reduction, swapspeed and reloadspeed for ranged.
This way you could also just let it replenish its own time like the militech Sandys without being overpowered in comparison
Pissed_Off_Jedi
Oi. I use berserk.
Dreadpull
I use Berserk and you can wipe out Max-Tax no problems. But you have to small “rests” or grind some cops to extend duration.

Beserks are melee only which not that many people go for . No competition really . Bring back beserk shotgun
Easy_Blackberry_4144
I went back to my berserk/gorilla arms character after the 2.0 update to see what it was all about.
It felt pretty OP. Like, Invulnerability and a huge damage buff plus health recovered for every enemy slain.
Only disadvantage is the screen effect. The red tint makes it so hard to see.
AdamM093
Berserk is amazing now! You literally can’t be harmed and killing 3-4 eniems means you’ll leave berserk with full health.
That coupled with high tech and strength means you literally can’t die.

I want cyberdeck AND sandy AND i want enough levels to max out all attributes AND perks
Nimeroni
Cyberdeck are working perfectly fine, thank you very much. Maybe even working too well, with critical Synapse burnout during Overclock one-shoting boss with 30k+ damage.
Creepy_Performance91
Sandy just trivialises the game. I unspecced it and just use the one that gives u straight up extra cyberware points.
Sewrtyuiop
With uunga buunga additions of throwing ppl and the two dashes, I stay zerking.
ggunslinger
Cyberdeck is incredibely powerful. I think the only real downside is that you need to heavily invest into intelligence perks, but by the end game you get so many perk points that it’s not a big deal. It easily matches Sandy IMO.
With help of some healing perks overclock makes you nearly immortal and new ways to regenerate RAM makes it so you can keep loading hacks after hacks with some smartgunplay involved or monowire. Monowire is actually a lot more risky after the updates in comparison to other weapon options, but you can make an entire horde of enemies explode in mere moments with contagion and attacks from thermal monowire. Every time an enemy netrunner tries to hack you becomes an opportunity to make every enemy around you commit suicide. Stealthrunning is also alive and well thanks to Sonic Shock, Memory Wipe and Arasaka deck. Most importantly, it’s just so much more fun now, especially in combination with other weapons. I scan for a moment to combine hacks onto enemies I dislike, then I empty a mag while watching them explode from the combination of contagion and overheat, then apply more hacks while reloading.
Sandy is really cool and lets me do some sick stylish killin’ way easier than any other operating system, but I feel more creative with a cyberdeck in hand, constantly loading variations of exodia onto random gangoons.
newbrevity
Lol Cyberdecks are OP as hell. By halfway through you can neutralize every enemy and camera before they ever see you. It’s almost boring how easy it is to walk through Night City like a telepathic god.
Vayalond
Contagion (tier 4 and 5) with the prototype Shingen are pretty fun: lock 3 poor souls when contagion is spreading and boom with thermal damage an instant kill on many basics threats, on more tanky ones I have others hacks and a more powerfull weapons (I really don’t like ultimates quickhacks, suicide and system collapse are really good yes but for me, it kill the fun (cyberpsychosis less than the others 3 but still)
TheFourtHorsmen
I use berserker as a last resort tool (the iconic militech one), between everything else, i don’t really need neither sandy, pr berserker to while out 30+ enemies with my thermal katana build
shuyo_mh
IDK about you but my tetratonic rippler 1 shots everything with Sonic Shock, Short Circuit, Cyberware Malfunction and Suicide queue. And I never run out of ram, every kill restores it to full.

Sandevistan is actually a lot stronger than it appears because it also extends the duration of your buffs well beyond their limit. This applies to:
* Fury (+10% damage, +30% critical chance and +50% critical damage).
* Dorph-Head (+100% mitigation chance after using health item)
* Ticking Time Bomb (-50% incoming damage while charging the EMP)
* Pyromania (+25% movement speed, +50% explosion damage and +50% mitigation chance)
* Optical Camo and many more.
