Is anyone else unable to get gwynbleid? I have the jacket and scorch but no sword 🙁
Scalpel and Byakko are my fav ❤
Scalpel for bleeding with reflex+str+tech build is fucking unstoppable.
Byakko for looks. I like how it looks.
Using Biakko, I killed Oda in 40 seconds on very hard. (Cyberpunk 2.00)
Using Scalpel, I killed Oda in 16 seconds on very hard, and then Smasher in 36 seconds on very hard. (Cyberpunk 2.02 with Phantom liberty)
Haven't finished watching the video yet but I'd be surprised if Errata isn't like top 3. That bad boy tears some stuff up!
Edit: Sam ranked it 2nd. Fell within parameters. Satisfaction found with this list. Excellent job Sam!
Please do a hand gun ranking. I love the lizzy but i feal like even with the 15 round clip ita somehow nerfed
I’d argue that mantis blades when using the relic skill should be much higher on the list. The skill is a one shot against 90% of the enemies in game however it doesn’t work properly when using a sandevistan so if you strategically activate and deactivate the apogee or falcon you can have an insane build just using the mantis blades.
Regular Mantis blades are my favorite! And with Relic upgrade….. total carnage.
Errata + contagion explosions is the best.
i just prefer the neahan and satori combo
Another great video and I look forward to my third playthrough as a melee character since Phantom Liberty. FYI, your video shows Black Unicorn as number 9, but it is placed between number 11 (Cocktail Stick) and number 10 (Jinchu-Maru).
Aren’t thermal and shock blades improved further with the slaughterhouse perk? That way you can stack bleeding on top of another status.
In my first 2.0 run I used a standard katana with 2 mod slots (random loot from tygers) with 2 legendary cyclone mods. It was ridiculous how fast v swung that thing, it would melt through bosses.
I actually did go with a Witcher style build with a focus on offensive quickhacks, pistols for range, and the Gwynbliedd for hacking all the katana wielding weebs and deflecting bullets while transitioning from cover to cover.
However, given that my character was more or less a nerd roleplaying as a Witcher and using hacking as a stand-in for magic, she had a very low body stat with a heavy reliance on cyberware for durability.
She also used electric gorilla arms as a means to replicate her favorite book characters accomplishments at pugilism and make up for her lack of strength.
At times, I used bullet deflect more defensively to get more offensive hacks off simultaneously.
It is a very awkward build that is intentionally handicapped, but nonetheless very fun since the glass cannon nature makes using every tool at my disposal essential.
Absolutely whack video. You can't test all of these on an incomplete build its utterly pointless as the capstone blade perk means most katanas are pretty much equal except for damage and perks. Properly speced I was one shotting most enemies on hard with Tsumetogi. Putting cocktail stick anywhere but the absolute bottom is horrendous I was really hoping this video would actually be a worthwhile ranking but alas, it isn't
Kukri could’ve been awesome if it was throwable. Also I love the look of the legendary razor in Dogtown, so much fun to use on a motorcycle with its legendary revolver companion.
It was so bad that it was pretty much removed, sort of…
Hello Cyberpunk Explainification Man™ !
I have to play 1.63 on PS4 until my PC is fixed, but i inhale every Video you post, love that content and the Game so much!
Bye Cyberpunk Explainification Man™! 😄
I wish Errata was an electrical sword that had lightning swirling around it. Kind of like a Naruto blade with lightning release.
tbh, I'd argue that any Tier 5++ katana with 2 mod slots, one being the Chimera core mod beats any of the iconic swords. Still, thanks for all the effort you put into testing everything in these vids.
It wouldn’t be to hard to roleplay as a whitcher. You got the sword, overheat for ignition, and the dash move.
I put the Scalpel at number 1. It's just as good as the Byakko against crowds but it's better against bosses. It does Shock damage AND bleeding which makes it great against mechs and Adam Smasher and it's crit chance is incredible with a Sandevistan. I did "Don't Fear The Reaper" on Very Hard with it and I was taking out the robots in one hit (I had the cyberware that boosts damage to mechs and bots) and I demolished the two giant mechs in just a couple of hits. I took Adam Smasher out before he even called in his first set of goons.
Personally I like Jinchu-Maru the most solely due to the fact it used to belong to Takemura. But admittedly, I still miss the time when the guaranteed crits used to come from a Kerenzikov.
Can anyone confirm that they looted "Slice Em Up "Blade Mod? and where? random chest, reward chest (like Head Hopper and Better Half from Iron Clad quest ?). Beware PC Mod user with mods which automatically removes mod and put them in you inventory.
The old Satori was so good, I loved it it
I mentioned this before in another video, but, while I find it extremely fun, i'm also a little disappointed #1 is still unchanged in the big leap from 1.6 to 2.0, as, while having it be a bit weaker would be annoying for all the work needed to get it, feels like its so much better in both versions that you're putting yourself at disadvantage by not using it for any of the others
Sorry guys, can’t show the cut-o-magic finisher. 19:57 is fine tho 😂
maybe combine thermal cannon with errata
Jinchu-maru belongs at #1, you don't need Byakko's flurry when you are gibbing them in two hits. Errata #2, Byakko #3
An easy way to proc the Satori unsheath passive is to put Nehan on slot 1 and Satori on slot 2 (or slot 2 then 3). You can throw nehan and you will automatically switch to satori but without drawing it. So throw Nehan then hold left click to attack from the holster with Satori. You kind of need to get the distance right because if you get too close you will pick up Nehan and this won't work.
I would have been very disappointed if you hadn't mentioned 40K when talking about the chainsword, lol
Interested in the pistol rankings given how the Malorian was changed with 2.0 and 2.02
fun fact: chainsaw is a suspicion item, enemy or cop will suspicion you by just pulling out
One thing to mention about the xmod chainsword. If you charge up the attack, even a little bit, it executes a straight down slash attack that will almost always hit the head. That specific angle is pretty nice for getting very reliable head shots with bonus damage from the charge attack.
I use Jinchu maru with optical camo and the apogee sandevistan to maximize the time I spend invisible clearing whole rooms. It’s my favorite way to use it
Great video as always. I saw you comment on a reddit post about the Cyberpunk Iceberg and would love to see you make a video on that.
There's a few other weapons in the techtronica set like a iconic grad with a short scope and explosive rounds
Cocktail stick, optical camo, and sandevistan is actually a fun combo. Active camo, go in, hit everh enemy once or twice, and exit sandevistan.
Its basically the trope of "swordsman does something fast and a bunch of enemies drop dead seconds later".
Granted, I'm having more fun just throwing people off of skyscrapers with berserk right now and haven't played a lot with the new katanas but its certainly fun!
19:23 tbf; it's only like less than 28.000 years to soon; 40k takes place 10.000 years after the great crusade and the horus heresy which sorta where the heydays for spacemarines
in my testing scalpel is far more powerful if u can spend the resources to reroll your cyberware for crit dmg and melee dmg (this takes a REALLLY long time/money/resources)
Anyone know why everytime I use the chainsword the game crashes? Im on xbox.
I find I actually am not liking swords at all in 2.0. They feel so clunky in how they move. Less like a sword, more like a todder waving sticks around.
Not being able to find a Kukri is disappointing, the idea of making an Ethnic Himalayan V and telling gangoons to "come fight a Gurkha" while wielding one sounds fun.
@Sam Bram You don't have to constantly sheath Satori. It triggers the bleed > hemorrhage effect if you start sprinting, and do a sprint strike as well.
I agree with the order of the top 3 weapons. Byakko is versatile enough no matter what operating system you use, while Scalpel has the edge if you use Sandevistan. However, I think peak katana play is when you combine the Errata with the Biodyne Berserk and the Revulsor cyberware. The Biodyne, as well as giving you 30% faster melee attack speed, also gives you a bonus 100% crit damage which is insane for a blade that can land guaranteed crit hits on burning enemies. And the Revulsor allows you to enjoy the effects of Sandevistan without actually having it equipped in your OS, so you essentially get the benefit of both Berserk and Sandevistan at the same time. It's still no Tinker Bell which has a 20% chance to one-shot anything including MaxTac, but you can still slice and burn through MaxTac very quickly with this combo, even more so if you use the Technical Ability perk Chipware Connoisseur to cycle through the options and stack as many bonuses to melee damage as you can get your hands on!
Nehan is a wakizashi, the small sword the samurai used mostly ritually. Waki and katana are usually a pair.
Great video!
Waiting for more tierlists like shotguns and pistols
👍
I've been stumbling upon your channel for a while for the amazing content. Do you think you could do a Blunt weapon Ranking as well? That'll be awesome.
This game is legot one of the best games of our time since 2.0 dropped. They really fixed thebfame and i like it more than the witcher 3 now. Such a shame they are going back to witcher
