Introduction

Cyberpunk 2077’s Netrunner playstyle remains one of the most overpowered and satisfying builds in the game, especially in New Game+. Before Patch 2.1, players could achieve insane damage numbers—over 1 million DPS—with the right setup. This guide covers the best pre-2.1 Netrunner build, optimized for maximum damage, survivability, and efficiency.

🔹 Why This Build is Broken (Pre-2.1)?

Before Patch 2.1, certain cyberware, perks, and quickhack interactions allowed Netrunners to stack damage multipliers to absurd levels. The Overclock mechanic, combined with Legendary Quickhacks, could melt enemies instantly—even on Very Hard difficulty.

🔥 Build Overview

✅ Core Stats (Level 50, New Game+)

⚡ Key Perks (Must-Have)

1. Intelligence Tree

   • Hackathon (RAM recovery on kill)
   • Optimization (Faster upload speed)
   • Critical Error (Crit chance on quickhacks)
   • Overclock (Health-for-RAM conversion)

2. Cool Tree

   • Cold Blood (Stacking buffs)
   • Frozen Precision (Crit damage boost)

3. Technical Ability

   • Edgerunner (More cyberware capacity)

💻 Best Cyberware for 1 Million DPS

To maximize damage, equip:

• Operating System: NetWatch Netdriver MK.5 (Best quickhack spread)
• Cyberdeck: Tetratronic Rippler MK.4 (Reduces cooldowns)
• Nervous System: Ex-Disk (Boosts quickhack crit chance)
• Frontal Cortex: Memory Boost (RAM recovery)
• Circulatory System: Biomonitor (Auto-heals at low HP)

(Pre-2.1, some cyberware had stronger effects, making this build unstoppable.)

⚡ Quickhack Loadout (Legendary Tier)

1. Short Circuit (Passive shock procs on crits)
2. Suicide (Insta-kill on elites)
3. Contagion (AOE spread + DOT)
4. Cyberpsychosis (Enemies fight each other)
5. System Reset (Non-lethal takedown)

🔥 How to Stack 1 Million DPS?

1. Activate Overclock → Sacrifice health for infinite RAM.
2. Spam Quickhacks → Chain Contagion + Short Circuit.
3. Crit Stacking → With Cold Blood + Frozen Precision, crits deal 500%+ damage.
4. RAM Regeneration → Hackathon + Memory Boost keeps RAM full.

(Pre-2.1, these interactions were even stronger due to unpatched multipliers.)

🎮 Gameplay Tips for New Game+

• Stealth First → Use System Reset to thin crowds.
• Overclock Early → Don’t wait for fights to escalate.
• Prioritize Elites → Suicide or Cyberpsychosis on bosses.
• Movement Matters → Use Kerenzikov (slow-mo dodging).

⚠️ Why This Build Got Nerfed (Post-2.1)?

Patch 2.1 rebalanced:

• Overclock health drain increased
• Quickhack damage scaling reduced
• RAM regeneration slowed

While still strong, pre-2.1 was the golden age of Netrunning.

🎯 Final Verdict

This 1 Million DPS Netrunner build was the most broken setup before Patch 2.1. If you’re playing an older version, abuse it while you can!
