Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was one of the best anime of Fall 2022. This show told an original story set in Cyberpunk’s universe and introduced to an eclectic cast of characters. Thanks to this show, people ran to their favorite online store to get a copy of the game, increasing this title’s popularity. After that, the people behind Cyberpunk 2077 added several outfits and weapons from the show to let players live their Edgerunner fantasy. However, if you want to take things to the next level, we have a guide to help you make the best Lucy build for Cyberpunk 2077 (2.0).

Best Cyberware
Even if you know the attributes and perks needed for the Lucy build in Cyberpunk 2077, you still need the cyberware. Here’s what we recommend:
| Cyberware | Effect |
| Netwatch Netdriver Mk. 5 | −20% traceability for quickhacks uploaded through cameras. −50% RAM cost for Device and Vehicle quickhacks. Combat quickhacks uploaded through devices gain: +15% damage +20% effect duration |
| Memory Boost | Restores 0.4 RAM when you neutralize an enemy. Increases maximum RAM by 1. |
| Bioconductor | It allows you to do Critical Hits with quickhacks and increases Crit Chance with quickhacks by 15%. It also reduces maximum RAM by 4. |
| Kiroshi Optics | Reduces the speed at which you are detected by cameras by 20%. Increases zoom level by up to 4 times when scanning. |
| Heal-on-Kill | Restores 3% Health when you neutralize an enemy. |
| Camillo RAM Manager | This implant allows you to automatically recover 20% of your maximum RAM when your available RAM is equal to or below 15% of your maximum RAM. Increases maximum RAM by 2. This effect has a 100-second cooldown. |
| Ex-Disk | Increases the upload speed of your quickhacks by 5%. Increases maximum RAM by 4. |
| Lynx Paws | Reduces sounds from movement by 50% and increases movement speed while crouched by 6%. Increases Armor by 16. This increases by 6 Armor per additional Tier. |
| Thermal Monowire | Do more Thermal damage in melee combat and short-ranged combat. The Thermal Monowire can be modified with a quickhack. This quickhack will be uploaded to targets that are hit. |
Weapons are not too relevant because you’ll be fighting with your Monowire and Quickhacks. Yet, if you want, you can add a Unity handgun, as this was Lucy’s weapon in the show.
And that’s a wrap on our Lucy build for Cyberpunk 2077. You can make this build if you reach the max level of the base game. However, Phantom Liberty adds a new level cap, which might change this build a bit, so don’t forget to check this guide again. Still, this build should let you mow down many enemies from afar and slice them with your Monowire if they get close.
