Attribute Changes in Cyberpunk Patch 2.0

Learn about attribute changes in cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.0: 5 attributes, 3-20 stat ranges, and how they influence perk trees and cyberware.

You gain an attribute point and a perk point every time you level up. There are five attributes: Body, Reflexes, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Cool, with stat ranges from 3 to 20. You start with 3 in each and have 7 points to distribute, totaling 22. Leveling up to the maximum level of 60 grants an additional 59 attribute points, for a grand total of 81. This is almost enough to max four attributes.

Increasing an attribute provides minor bonuses:

• Body: +2 Max Health per Attribute Point.
• Reflexes: +0.5% Crit Chance per Attribute Point.
• Technical Ability: +2 ARmor per Attribute Point.
• Intelligence: +1 Max RAM per 4 Attribute Points.
• Cool: +1.25% Crit Damage per Attribute Point.

Certain Cyberware is attuned to attributes, offering additional bonuses. For example, "Body Attuned" Skeleton cyberware gives +2 Health per point of Body. Attributes are also required for specific actions like forcing doors (Body), picking locks (Technical Ability), and jacking into access points (Intelligence). Many dialogue choices also require minimum attribute scores.

Attributes primarily gatekeep perk tree progression. Each perk tree is divided into four tiers, requiring specific attribute scores to access:

• Rookie Tier: 4+
• Pro Tier: 9+
• Phenom Tier: 15+
• Legend Tier: 20+

To purchase even a Rookie-tier perk, you need a corresponding attribute score of 4 or higher. To access Legend-tier perks, you need an attribute score of 20.

How Are Attributes Different in Cyberpunk Patch 2.0?

The most significant change in cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.0 is that attributes no longer gatekeep cyberware. Previously, different types and rarities of cyberware had attribute requirements. Additionally, prior to patch 2.0, your skill tree rank was capped by your related attribute score; this connection has been removed. Attribute scores still determine perk access, but perks are now organized into four distinct tiers.
