Best Tank Build | Cyberpunk 2077

This is a guide to creating a Tank build in Cyberpunk 2077. Check here for details about the build, what attributes to level up, which perks to choose, and what equipment to use.

How to Use the Tank Build

The purpose of this build is to make V invincible against enemies, even the toughest ones. With the right perks acquired, you can withstand any damage taken from combat.

Best Attributes for Tank Build

Body

Investing in Body will be your prime concern in this build, as it will buff key attributes such as your Health and Armor.

Technical Ability

You only need a few perks to acquire in Technical Ability, but it should be your priority after Body. Some perks will grant you resistance from common enemy attacks.

Best Perks for Tank Build

Body

Regeneration

This perk should be the first one that you acquire, even when you're investing in different character builds, as it increases your survivability in combat.

Wolverine

With Regeneration acquired, this perk will restore your Health much faster.

Cardio Cure

Movement is essential in combat, so acquiring this perk will incentivize you for maneuvering.

Dog of War

The entire point of this build is having your character endure in combat. This perk will do exactly that.

Steel Shell

This perk will increase the value of your Armor by a small amount.

The Rock

Enemies will have a harder time taking you down with this perk.

Indestructible

Survive longer in combat, as this perk reduces the damage that you take by a small amount.

Hard Motherfucker

This perk itself will prepare you for combat, as your Armor and Resistances are increased as you begin fighting enemies.

Engineering

Blast Shielding

Some enemies will throw grenades at you. This perk improves your explosion resistance, as well as decreasing your chances of dying from one.

Insulation

You may encounter metal enemies in the form of robots and drones from time to time, so this perk should come in handy when you're in that situation.

Best Weapons

The best weapons to use for this build are those that give you a high chance of killing an opponent quickly, but it is recommended to go with Revolvers, Assault Rifles, or Shotguns for the extra damage that you can inflict.
