Quick Answer
Pick a main playstyle before spreading attributes. If Body, Reflexes, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Cool all rise evenly, your weapons, hacks, stealth, and cyberware bonuses can feel diluted.
Attribute Roles
| Attribute | Best for |
|---|---|
| Body | Shotguns, blunt weapons, survival, direct fights |
| Reflexes | Rifles, SMGs, blades, mobility |
| Technical Ability | Cyberware capacity, engineering, gear value |
| Intelligence | Hacking, quickhacks, control |
| Cool | Stealth, pistols, throwing knives, crit style |
Beginner Rules
- Choose your main weapon or playstyle first.
- Keep one survival or cyberware plan active.
- Spend perk points on actions you actually use.
- Before changing builds, check whether gear and cyberware support it.
