This guide page hasstarting tips for Cyberpunk 2077.
These topics should be especially helpful to beginners going through the campaign for the first time.
Some of these things are discussed in more detail on separate pages of the guide.
The normal difficulty level is the optimal choice for your first playthrough.
Cyberpunk 2077 offers 4 difficulty levels.
The different levels differ primarily in how good you are at developing your character and managing equipment.
We have discussed the difficulty levels in more detail on theDifficulty levelspage.
Don’t rely solely on autosaves remember to make manual saves.
Cyberpunk 2077 has the option to create manual and quick saves.
We strongly recommend using them don’t rely only on the autosaves.
Saving the game frequently can also keep your skin, e.g.
Only 2 tutorial parts out of 4 are obligatory those focusing on combat and hacking.
Do not finish the tutorial after 2 parts.
The other two are not very long the additional knowledge may prove very useful for you.
In the next two VR lessons, you will learn the basics of stealth and melee combat.
However, the scanner is also very useful inhacking- you might find devices and opponents that can be hacked.
you might gainexperience pointsmainly by completing quests (including side missions).
Again, these can be rewards for completing missions.

You must remember that hiding behind a cover is not enough restore the entire health bar.
you might improve the automatic healing in various ways (e.g.
buying the Regeneration perk, which can restore hp also during fights) and extend the health bar.
Nevertheless, you shouldn’t risk your health.
it’s possible for you to heal V with various consumables.
Alternatively, it’s possible for you to, for example, rely on slow regeneration.

If you are overburdened, get rid of unnecessary items.
Get rid of weapons and armor in the first place, because they usually weigh the most.
It is best to store your unnecessary belongings in aDrop Pointin V’s apartment or simplysell them.
Some items are classified asjunk.
Their main use isto dismantle and convert them into crafting materials.
This is because this perk automatically disassembles all junk.
Some of these items can, e.g.
be worth 750 credits this makes them a good source of income.
If you have the Scrapper perk, the junk will be destroyed automatically.
You will often find equipment with higher statistics than the one you currently have.
Of course, the numbers themselves are not everything.
Some gear can also have additional effects (e.g.
chemical damage or increased resistance to a particular jot down of damage).
This can increase their statics and extend their usefulness.
This is especially important for unique and iconic items.
If you’re looking for additional information and advice, check out theCrafting and weapon upgradessection.
Leave quests and gigs that havea high or very high risk levelfor later.
Some missions can, for example, feature strong opponents who will be a big challenge for the hero.

give a shot to postpone fighting them until your character gets stronger and better equipped.

The best way to act is to have a go at escape the police.

The two main uses of the mini-map are:

when you enter a new district of the Night City.
You will definitely not complain about the lack of attractions.
Some world map markers are initially unavailable they may be question markers or quest icons without any descriptions.
you could only check the approximate risk level of a given mission or activity.
This can of course be changed by approaching the marker.
Doing this will reveal all the details.
