I enjoyed playing far cry 5, gta 5 by using only a pistol as much as I can throughout the campaign(unless I absolutely have to use an AR or sniper rifle). Can I play cyberpunk campaign that way too?
You can beat the story with a dildo if you want to, it’s pretty much tradition in my friend group to peg Smasher

For the most part, yeah. I played a good chunk of the story with pistol, there are some really good ones later on.
Main thing though is you better build for stealth cause most combat encounters can get pretty rough with just pistol head on until you get some good guns.

You can do it even just with choking.

You can do whatever you want🤣

My first character was just pistols and knives. Thought it made the most sense
Lexinoz
There’s entire skilltrees based on just that, so go ham.

You can play naked and smashing heads with a dildo if you want
Ornn5005
Yes

Honestly one of my favourite play throughs was a pistol only build
Egomania27
Oh yeah. More so even that the other games you mentioned. There’s heavy hitters, full auto machine pistols and all rounders all in between.

Yes, you kinda can choose any weapons and just use that exclusively. I just did a very hard run on katakana and knifes, my first one was on normal with pistols and knifes. So just go with whatever you like and most importantly have fun.

You can….but….CONSEQUENCES

Pistol headshot builds are quite viable, i think the only weapon restricted section that isnt a pistol is in the dlc where you need to do a bit of sniping.

Are you kidding??? My main playthrough, the one I have over hundreds of hours in, is a gunslinger build
Zestyclose-Care7418
you can do whatever you want in night city

Yes

In many ways pistols are better than rifles because of the very videogamey balancing they have going on, and this is without necessarily focusing your build on pistols.

Netrunner/pistol build is fun as hell
EllPiva_BR
You can even play with a sex toy, go crazy.

I love pistols in this game and unlocked almost everything in the perk tree about them. So this game is very good with pistols.
Technically you’ll have to use another weapon a few times in the story, but otherwise go for it.

One of the things I absolutely love about this game is that everything is a viable option. Especially pistols, which usually in games are the crappiest weapon. Cyberpunk doesn’t treat them as low tier at all.

I’m half way on my 3rd playthrough, and once again I promised myself to try other weapons. I didn’t. 100% pistols again 😉
da_blue_jester
Well now I know what sorta build I will be doing for 2.3
PancakeParty98
Yes but you’ll have a funner time with 3 throwing knives
Hatred_Dude69
i have 300 hours never played with ar or melee.. so yeah you can
dwolfe127
I am playing with throwing knives only.
Nightcoffee_365
You absolutely can! Your only problem is going to be the overwhelming number of options you have. Happy hunting!

It’d be a pretty COOL way to play, choom 😎
mynameisnickromel
Oh definitely.
I actually find the pistol builds to be some of the most powerful in the game
opman4
They could be the strongest weapons in the game on day one if you built your character for it. I’m sure they’re still plenty viable.
ThenRevolution479
There are many powerful pistols in this game. Some are more powerful than rifles
LongRodtheGod
I did stealth pistol build my first play through, great fuckin choice
wowharry1
Yes. Finished the entire game only with dying light
Batfolks
Yup. There’s even a skill tree that will give you John Wick like shooting capabilities.
Rainbow-6-Swede
No, sorry but you’re not allowed to
Ill_Statistician_938
Arguably one of the best builds in the game is pistols with the deadeye perk

Yes of course
