The Phantom Liberty DLC features an extended experience level cap that allows players to reach Level 60.
The raised level cap is only available for players who purchased the Phantom Liberty DLC. If you want to unlock this feature, make sure to purchase the DLC for your chosen platform!
Phantom Liberty DLC Release and Updates
Level 50 is the max level for the base game, including the massive 2.0 update. Unfortunately, as mentioned, only owners of the Phantom Liberty DLC will get access to the raised level cap.
Where to Buy the Phantom Liberty DLC
Even after the release of Update 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty DLC, the max Street Cred level cap is still Level 50. While the experience level cap has increased to 60 in the DLC, the Street Cred level cap of 50 stayed the same.
There are five attributes in the game: Reflexes, Body, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Cool. The maximum level that you can raise each of these attributes to is Level 20. This didn't increase in any of the updates, including the Phantom Liberty DLC.
Attributes and Explanation of Each Attribute
At the start of the game, you start with 22 Attribute points: three minimum for each (meaning 15 set in total) and 7 points to spend for free. Upon reaching the default max experience level of 50, you'll have gained 49 points, giving a total of 71.
Since the Phantom Liberty DLC raises the max experience level to 60, this means 10 more attribute points to spend, yielding a total of 81 attribute points.
Update 2.0 trimmed down the number of skills to 5 Skills: Headhunter, Netrunner, Shinobi, Solo, and Engineer. The maximum level that you can raise each of these skills to is Level 60. This didn't increase in any of the updates, including the Phantom Liberty DLC.
2.0 Skill Progression: How to Level Up Skills
Gaining XP is the only way to level up in the game. You can get XP by simply completing various in-game activities such as doing jobs, defeating enemies, and hacking systems.
The fastest way to earn XP is to complete jobs, especially the main jobs as it can can give enough XP to get you one whole level.
Completing NCPD Scanner Hustles is a great way to grind for XP if you don't plan on doing the main jobs just yet. These jobs are scattered across the map with light blue icons of either a spiked club (Assault in Progress) or a skull (Suspected Organized Crime Activity).
Assault in Progress jobs are relatively easy, as it often involves only a few threats, while Suspected Organized Crime Activities are more challenging because of the larger amount of enemies that you have to take on.
Some side jobs and gigs have a set amount of jobs/gigs before being completed. Some of them actually give out a lot of XP (and eddies, too!) once you complete everything, making them an excellent way to farm. Others however are notoriously difficult so you may want to steer clear of them first.
| Mission Chain | Mission Count |
|---|---|
| Psycho Killer | 17 Missions These are relatively easy jobs and can be done and finished as early as the beginning of Act 2. |
| Epistrophy | 7 Missions Failry easy as it only involves chasing cars around with the exception of Epistrophy: Pacifica |
| Beat On The Brat | 5 Missions One of the most difficult mission sets in the game, these give out a lot of EXP (and a fair amount of eddies too). Stay clear of this until you are close to maxing out your character's level. |
| Chippin' In | 4 Missions Only available in Act 3, these involve a lot of side quests from the former Samurai band members with some being a bit more difficult than most. |
Since jobs and gigs will only have a fixed amount of XP regardless of difficulty, you will mostly rely on defeating enemies to gain extra XP. With the easy mode, you can effortlessly eliminate groups of enemies in tasks that might otherwise be more challenging on higher difficulty settings.
To do this, open Settings in the menu and go to the Gameplay tab. Then, change the Game Difficulty to Easy. Save your changes and the game will load you to your last checkpoint.
Some gigs and jobs will also have optional objectives that can easily miss as you progress. Make sure to also complete these as well to gain more XP!
When you level up, you will always get +1 Attribute Point to spend on one of the game's 5 Main Attributes. These attributes mainly affect which perks you can get while leveling up, with perk tiers unlocking at 4, 9, 15, and 20 attribute points.
Attributes and Explanation of Each Attribute
The more you level up, the more Perk Points you get. Perk Points are spent on Perks in the Skill Tree under a specific Attribute. You can use these points to get several upgrades from the attributes you want to take advantage of.
For example, if you want to enhance your quickhacks usage, you can use the points you earned to unlock Intelligence Perks of your choice.
2.0 Perks and Skill Tree Guide
The Phantom Liberty DLC has also introduced a sixth attribute called the Relic Skill Tree. However, unlike Attributes and Perks, you do not get points for this by leveling up. Instead, you will need to find the Data Terminals scattered throughout Dogtown which grant you a point for the Relic Skill Tree.
If you complete jobs and side gigs, you gain Character XP. This type of XP allows you to level V up, granting them +1 Attribute and Perk Points per level up.
If you do certain actions repeatedly such as killing enemies with blunt weapons, quickhacking, or crafting, you will earn Skill XP. Depending on the action, you will raise one of the 5 different skills introduced in Update 2.0, granting you a plethora of bonuses for each skill point milestone you hit.
Really? “To level up, do missions!” Duh! This is worthless.
