Personally I have always loved just going around punching people with the gorilla arms, and with the perks they added to blunt melee weapons in 2.0, just made it even better. Actually, brb, gonna go find some random goon and punch him in the jaw rq

Pre 2.0 using a Sandy with a katana, but low health was great fun. Slicing through hordes of enemies, but only able to take one or two hits in reply.
Post 2.0 Pick up a big blunt weapon, pop berserk and enjoy.
Pre 2.0 was netrunning and cool.
Now it’s blades and tech.
Cool was much better pre 2.0, but the qol of the game now is exceptional.
I played post 2.0 and net runner with katana was fun as hell
I just use quick hacks and mono wire
Rip Tugger.
I was all about stealth net runner pre-2.0, and now post 2.0 I think I’ll find it hard to give up my Sandy/throwing knives/katana build. Nobody can spot you if there is nobody to see.
Netrunning with a maxed revolver. Monowire and katana. Ride an Apollo bike everywhere.
Post 2.0 Adrenalin + overclock
This is my first play, at 2.12. I love my pistols/knife build which uses dash with kerenzikov to reposition and attack. Quickhacks serve as debuff and control tools.
1e playthrough sandy katana and 2e netrunner yinglong and having way more fun hacking
One punch man, always
Nothing tops running around and punching shit
NOTHING
Since launch I played three stealthy netrunner/silenced pistol builds and loved them, for my most recent playthrough I tried Oda inspired katana/mantis blades/Shingen smg and also having a lot of fun!
Pre 2.0 I used Mantis blades because I thought they looked cook.
Post 2.0 – I played a Revolver focused gunslinger. Points into Tech for Grenade bonuses. Shooting my own grenades out of the air (or ememies) for extra damage and style points feels super fun.
Pre 2.0: I used monowire when it’s damage still scaled with (blades?) Loved popping sandy, then slicing groups of enemies up in front of me and the weapon itself was just unique.
Post 2.0: mantis blades with sandy. I love the mobility and speed you can attain with mantis blades. Hopping and sprinting through an entire compound of enemies, leaving nothing but limbs and torsos in my wake just never gets old
At some point I want to do a netrunner, but it has a VATS feel from fallout for me, which I never liked. I do want to give it an honest shot though cause you never know
Throwing knives are soooo goddamn satisfying to play, so cool. Also katana being able to deviate bullets and ricochet them back on the ennemies WITH precision is also very very satisfying. I’d say the whole mele in 2.0 has become so good
2 knifes and a silenced pistol, cool & reflexed attuned. First half of my first playthrough I used quick hacks until I found the Sandevistan OS so now I slow time for quick & fast takedowns.
I was a stealthy net runner pre 2.0. When I got bored of wrecking everything from a safe distance, I invested in knives and threw for headshots. Post 2.0 I made a melee build with swords and blunt weapons.
Pre 2.0 was the sandevistan gunslinger built. Nothing post 2.0 simply because one doesn’t even need to pick a build.
I didn’t try smart weapons until my second playthrough… lmao… smart submachine gun is so incredible, and I hadn’t tried the biotechnica deck with contagion, either. The fireworks are amazing with overheat, plus smart weapons, it feels almost unsporting
Stealth+hacking and stealth takedowns.. no killing
Both main game and the expansion
But now I’m really looking to start a new playthrough and going gun-blazing with shotguns and grenades
I don’t see how you can make a build without spec’ing heavily into tech. Even if you don’t use tech weapons, using cyberware is a foundational piece of any good build.
I wish the cyberware capacity could be grown from any perk tree.
Pre 2.0 Comrades Hammer and Satara, doesn’t matter what build, but mostly netrunner-ish, post I must say its much more balanced and I’m still experimenting with different builds
I got so much armor i didn’t take damage from anything, Adam Smasher more like The Last Dinner, falling from the top of Arasaka tower? A light knee scrap, black wall-Song bird: sweet songs of the forest
My most recent build, a tech weapons netrunner. I had no idea how fun tech weapons could be. Reeds pistol, pariah, is one of my favorites. It’s silenced but can still shoot through walls, so I can stealthily take out an entire building of enemies without even entering.
Something very funny about using reboot optics and a baseball to the face as a non lethal stealth takedown is all I’ll say
I used to be a blades guy but MAN gorilla arms are just so good and fun post 2.0. Literal psychopath gameplay. Pick gonks up, throw gonks into other gonks, smash into them like the hulk, charge into them like a train, squash their heads with your bare hands, it’s so peak
