Cyberpunk 2077 Character Skills Guide
Game: Cyberpunk 2077
Content Type: Gaming Guides


Cyberpunk 2077 offers a very open system for creating your character build: there are no classes, so everything depends on how you distribute your Attribute Points and Perk Points. Meanwhile, you will be leveling your Skills by directly using them (that is, by performing actions that relate to a certain Skill). Your Skills will be filling the gaps in your character build and often lending themselves to your build planning organically, since you will most likely be leveling the aspects of your character you use the most. This guide will focus on the Character Skills in Cyberpunk 2077, how you level these Skills up, and what benefits you get by doing so.

The Cyberpunk 2077 character skills are:

  • Handguns, Blades, Assault (Reflexes)
  • Crafting, Engineering (Technical Ability)
  • Breach Protocol, Quickhacking (Intelligence)
  • Athletics, Annihilation, Street Brawler (Body)
  • Ninjutsu, Cold Blood (Cool)

(Check out our Attributes Guide for information about each Attribute).

Skills fit neatly into the Attribute-Skill-Perk RPG system of Cyberpunk 2077: Attributes set a level cap on your Skills and you customize your Skill-related bonuses by purchasing Perks. If you need a quick overview of this system, we have prepared a “Attributes vs. Skills vs. Perks” section for you below.

Skills are at an interesting place in this system — at a first glance they might seem not to do much, but you will notice that the passive bonuses from their Skill Progression Rewards add up quickly to make a difference for your unique build, especially when it comes to weapon proficiency. Skills will also provide you with most of your Perk points.

(It’s still worth leveling some of the skills you don’t plan on using — a good chunk of all Progression Rewards are Perk points!)

Here are the bonuses you will see from leveling your Skills:

  • Each Skill level above the 1st earns Skill Progression Rewards, which award passive increases along with Perk points. They are the main source of your perk points in the game (read more about Perks in our Perks Guide).
  • Getting your Skill to level 20 unlocks an exclusive Perk for that Skill.
  • For most ranged and melee weapons, your Skill level significantly improves the experience of wielding that weapon due to Skill Progression Rewards.

There is also a slightly less noticeable bonus to paying attention to your Skills: they serve as a good way to track what actions you perform the most as your play through the game. If you aren’t sure about what build you should pursue, either at the beginning or mid-game, just watch which Skills you level the quickest. Of course, you can significantly expedite Skill leveling by investing into Perks and by trying to perform certain actions more frequently, so expect the correlation to go both ways.

With that being said, let’s look at what suggestions and tips we have for you and then go through each of the Skills individually.

Overview and Tips

Attributes vs. Skills vs. Perks

We cover the basics of this correlation in our Attributes Guide and Ultimate Character Guide if you want to make sure you fully understand the system. Still, we will cover the basics and a few important points here once again.

Here are the basics:

  • Attributes themselves give you passive bonuses per level (see individual Attributes listed later in this guide).
  • Attributes set a cap level for your Skills. Skills are leveled through use.
  • Attributes unlock high-level Perks. All Perks except for one (that is, one for each Skill) are unlocked by increasing your Attribute level.

If you don’t know what Skills you want to focus on, it’s a good idea to observe what Skills you use the most (that is, what Skill-related actions you perform the most — see our list below for correlations) and then increase Attribute levels to accommodate them.

Don’t get carried away in only investing into a couple specific Attributes that you envision for your build (unless you have a very specific plan that concerns Attribute bonuses and Perk unlocks) — if you can’t seem to catch up with Skill XP, look to Skills like Cold Blood, Athletics, and Annihilation and see if you naturally lean towards leveling them. Their Attribute bonuses, Skill Progression bonuses, and Perks will benefit a lot of character builds and investing into those areas might smooth out some of the rough edges of your build.

If you don’t know what maxing-out a Skill does for you in regards to Perks (since Attributes unlock almost all of the Perks for you), we suggest you look over our section titled “Unlocking Traits” below.

List: Leveling Skills

(The list was adapted, with some changes and additional tips by us, from Cyberpunk 2077 – The Complete Official Guide by Piggyback.)

Concrete XP values you will see in this list will scale based on a target’s level. Numbers you will see here are base values.

If a Skill is leveled by dealing damage to enemies in a specific manner, keep in mind that the XP will be awarded after your target is neutralized — it might look like you need to kill an enemy using a skill-related action in order to get the XP, but that is not the case, unless the phrase “defeating targets” is used.

If you have discovered some other non-obvious methods of leveling Skills efficiently, please let us know in the comments and we will add them below!

Handguns (Reflexes)

  • Dealing damage with pistols and revolvers
    • XP varies with damage dealt

Blades (Reflexes)

  • Dealing damage with katanas, knives, one-handed blades, and Mantis Blades
    • XP varies with damage dealt

Assault (Reflexes)

  • Dealing damage with rifles and submachine guns
    • XP varies with damage dealt

Crafting (Technical Ability)

  • Crafting an item
    • XP varies with item crafted
    • Extra Tip: starting mid-game (level 20-25+) it’s a good idea to start collecting higher-rarity loot as you explore the city, particularly rare and epic drops, and dismantling anything you do not need to use the components for higher-level crafting. You will notice a big difference when working with higher-level materials. Find gang hideouts and larger areas with frequent enemy spawning (for example, locations inside Pacifica) and attack larger groups of enemies to get a lot of loot.
  • Upgrading an item
    • XP varies with item crafted
  • Disassembling a junk or equipment item
    • Awards 5 XP
    • Extra Tip: it might be tempting to get the Scrapper perk to automatically disassemble junk items and expedite the leveling process, but beware that this will destroy 750E$+ junk items that will give you components based on their rarity grade and not their price. That is, a common $750E$ junk item will give you the same common components as a 5E$ junk item, but will end up being much more valuable when sold.

Engineering (Technical Ability)

  • Opening doors and performing other actions that require a certain Technical Ability Attribute level
    • Awards 100 XP
  • Dealing damage with grenades
    • XP varies with damage dealt
  • Dealing damage with wall-piercing shots
    • XP varies with damage dealt

Breach Protocol (Intelligence)

  • Quickhacking device targets
    • Awards 75 XP
  • Opening doors and performing other actions that require a certain Intelligence Attribute level
    • Awards 100 XP
    • Extra Tip: you will encounter extraneous devices, like mounted TVs and spotlight lamps that are used as decor. Quickhacking takes only a second to perform, but messing with every device you see early on will make a difference for progressing through lower levels. Try to hack different targets to maximize the XP rewards. Same goes for ICEpick Breach Protocol sequences – they take a few more seconds, but starting most of your battles with debuffed enemies or decreased RAM cost is of advantage to you and will help you level Breach Protocol in no time.

Quickhacking (Intelligence)

  • Quickhacking enemy targets
    • Awards 75 XP
    • Extra Tip: applying multiple quickhacks to the same target scales the XP value you get per each action down.

Athletics (Body)

  • Opening doors and performing other actions that require a certain Body Attribute level
    • Awards 100 XP
  • Spending 500 or more stamina through actions
    • Awards 25 XP

Annihilation (Body)

  • Dealing damage with shotguns and machine guns
    • XP varies with damage dealt

Street Brawler (Body)

  • Dealing damage with fists, blunt weapons, Gorilla Arms, and Monowire
    • XP varies with damage dealt
  • Dealing damage with the Superhero Landing with Berserk is active
    • XP varies with damage dealt

Ninjutsu (Cool)

  • Dealing damage with sneak attacks
    • XP varies with damage dealt
  • Performing a takedown (both lethal and non-lethal)
    • Awards 100 XP
  • Concealing bodies in drop-off locations
    • Awards 100 XP
    • Extra Tip: If you have a moment after a battle, go around and drop bodies into a nearest trash bin/dumping location. Most of the locations have at least one, but they can be overfilled. This won’t take too long and will give your Ninjutsu Skill a great boost, especially early on.
  • Performing a takedown and hiding the body simultaneously
    • Awards 200 XP

Cold Blood (Cool)

  • Performing finishing moves in combat
    • Awards 100 XP
  • Defeating targets with at least one Cold Blood stack active
    • XP varies with damage dealt
    • Extra Tip (one of our favorite tips!): This is definitely one of our favorite skills to level! If you invest a single perk point into the Skill to unlock Cold Blood, you will start gaining that Cold Blood stack automatically with a bonus to your movement speed every time you defeat an enemy, and thus level the Skill automatically. This skill will quickly get to level 2 and give you a 10% Crit Chance increase, then increase your armor by 3% at level 3, and if you put any Attribute levels into Cool ever (that is, if it’s level 4 or above), you will get back your perk point! After that, it will double your investment (extra perk point at level 5) and keep giving and giving, especially if you invest more perk points into it. With this tactic, neutralizing enemies will become one of your strongest abilities. Aim for larger chains of kills to get a lot of XP very quickly.

Unlocking Traits

You might have noticed that Perks are unlocked by leveling a corresponding Attribute, not the Skill.

Why bother leveling a Skill to 20, in that case?

Well, on level 20 of any Skill you will unlock a unique Perk that can only be unlocked by getting that Skill to level 20. For example, Assault of level 20 will unlock Punisher, and Cold Blood will unlock Merciless. These Perks are singled-out as “Traits” because you can keep investing overflow Perk points into them indefinitely — the scaling bonus is listed with every Perk in our Perks Guide.

Let’s look at Merciless as an example. If your Cold Blood is 20, the perk will unlock and do the following: While Cold Blood is active, it increases Crit Chance by 10% and Crit Damage by 25%. Then, it will also give you +1% Crit Chance and +3% Crit Damage per Perk level.

It might not be worth collecting Perk Points specifically to keep investing into Merciless, but it might definitely be worth it to invest your overflow here, if you are mostly left with low-level Perk options due to your lower Attribute levels elsewhere (as we discuss in our Attributes Guide, it’s not possible to get all of your Attributes to maximum level.)

If this is a Skill you aren’t making a lot of progress in, do not blame your approach — many players are struggling with the same issue. There is hoping that CDPR releases a patch that addresses this issue soon.
