How to Build Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners in Cyberpunk 2077

Netflix’s video game anime adaptation has continued to be a huge success; so much so, in fact, that it’s prompted many to give Cyberpunk 2077 either a second shot or a first try entirely because of its characters. If you’re one of the many and you’d like to learn how to build one of the show’s cool characters in the game itself, here’s what you need to know about how to build Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners in Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners Rebecca Build in Cyberpunk 2077

Rebecca is surely one of the most entertaining characters in Edgerunners with her fun, slightly maniacal personality. But make no mistake that she’s a gun-toting badass too, and so we’re obviously going to be focusing here on a very weapon-centric build.

We want to make sure your character can handle any weapon type in the game, though we’ll be leaning into shotguns heavily since the 1.6 update actually added Rebecca’s GUTS Shotgun to the game. You can read our detailed guide on where to obtain it here. Likewise, the revamped perks offered by the 2.0 update make it that much easier to emulate her particular set of skills and annihilate enemies with a boom stick.

Before we get into the specifics of the build, if you’re playing on PC it’s worth noting that modders have actually put together some pretty awesome cosmetic mods to really take your build to the next level. You can get Rebecca’s pistols, Rebecca’s tattoos, and Rebecca’s hairstyle and eyes to name a few.

Best Lifepath

Though not integral to the build, anyone who wants to fully roleplay as the shotgun-toting short stack should try to pick the most accurate Lifepath. We’d personally recommend the Streetkid path, as it is most in line with Rebecca’s personality and backstory. Likewise, it’ll open up some appropriately crude yet savvy dialogue options throughout the game.

Cyberware

You want to focus your implants on those that allow you to move quickly and tank damage. Because your primary mode of attack involves shotguns, you’ll be up close and personal with enemies more often than not.

These Cyberware should serve you best, and aren’t too hard to track down:

• Heal on Kill – Instantly restores 10 percent health after defeating an enemy
• Second Heart – Instantly restores 100 percent of your health after it reaches 0
• Bioconductor – Reduces all Cyberware cooldowns by 30 percent

As was the case for our Lucy build, make sure you get these two pieces of Cyberware in particular to really increase your character’s movement:

• Kerenzikov – Allows you to more quickly slide and dodge while slowing down time. The Ripper Doc Arroyo sells them in Santa Domingo for 7,500 Eurodollars, and you .
• Maneuvering System – Add in a Maneuvering System to enhance the effects of the Kerenzikov. The Ripper Doc Arroyo sells them in Santa Domingo for 3,000 Eurodollars.

We also recommend going for a Berserk Operating System since it allows us to almost supercharge your character for close-quarters combat in which you’re running and sliding around using shotguns.

A good option is the Miltech Berserk MK.5 which increases Berserk duration and crit damage while decreasing weapon recoil. It also adds some extra meat to your defense, meaning you can better survive punishing combat. It increases your health by 40 percent while increasing armor and resistance. Not to mention, it heals her every time you kill an enemy. You can purchase it from Nina the Ripper Doc in Charter Hill (29 Street Cred).

Weapons

Shotguns are the way to go when selecting the perfect weapon for a Rebecca build, and the aforementioned GUTS Shotgun is easily your best option. Though it might not be as overpowered as other Iconic weapons in the game, it’s serviceable enough to get the job done and puts the finishing touch on your Rebecca-style loadout. You can likewise upgrade it so long as you have the necessary materials, ensuring it doesn’t lag too far behind other weapons in your arsenal.

Gear

While there isn’t any clothing that’s specifically tied to Rebecca, we do recommend choosing some threads that beef up your character’s armor or resistances a bit. These include things like combat vests and helmets, and can give you that slight edge in combat so that you don’t share the same fate as this deceased Cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk 2077 Rebecca Build Attribute Point Distribution

Now, let’s talk about stats. The build we recommend spreads points fairly evenly across Body, Reflex, and Technical Ability. These are the main three attributes you want to dump points into, so bring all three up to 20. Intelligence will remain almost untouched with only 3, while Cool gets whatever’s left over.

By doing this, you’ll ensure that you have access to some of the better Perks tied to Rebecca’s build while also gaining all the stat bonuses that come from boosting these Attributes. Your high Body score increases your overall health, while the high Technical Skill and Reflexes Attributes bolster your Crit Chance and Armor.
