What Are Character Attributes In Cyberpunk 2077?
Attributes are the five core stats that your character is divided into Cyberpunk 2077. These stats will make up the basis of your character that you can further build upon. The best thing about attributes in Cyberpunk 2077 is the fact that there’s a lot of fluidity and you can change it whenever you want.
- Body
- Reflexes
- Intelligence
- Tech
- Cool
These core stats will show how your character behaves and acts according to different situations. The game does not give you fixed classes but encourages you to try out different means of playing the same experience with floating attributes that you can share internally.
Each attribute further influences other stats in the game, all five of these attributes will reflect how your character gets built and you will need to be careful while upgrading your character’s attributes.
Body
The Body attribute determines how strong your character is without all the cybernetic enhancement, investing in this attribute will ensure that your character will be strong in melee attacks and overall strength. The Body attribute also modifies Shotguns, Two-Handed, Melee, and Athletics skills.
This attribute will also ensure that you get more HP and close to superhuman strength when fighting other characters. If you’re someone who likes a tank of a character, investing points in Body will prove to be beneficial.
Reflex
The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is fast and chaotic and your reflexes will need to be sharp as you discover through all the different areas in the game. Investing in Reflexes will ensure that you will be able to get in and out of fights pretty easily and this increases your overall speed.
Not only will you be physically fast, but you will also get to increase your light weapon speed and rate of fire, just because you’re not only reactive but also proactive. Every slight difference matters and if you’re looking out to having a stealth game experience, investing in Reflexes will prove to be vital.

Intelligence
Intelligence attributes determine how well versed you are with all the technology around you can how easily can you manipulate them to your advantage. There will be a lot of hacking involved and the higher your intelligence stat is the easier those things will become for you.
Intelligence will also open up more options for you instead of just fight or flight options, you will be able to talk your way out of a sticky situation by coming up with a brilliant outcome that helps everyone involved.
Technical Ability
Technical Ability is all about how you can find even the smallest thing and craft with it, investing in this attribute will open up more avenues of crafting in the game. This means that you will be able to make guns even better and upgrade your armor.
In the world of Cyberpunk 2077, hostility surrounds you so it makes sense to have the extra bit of knowledge when it comes to Tech and other Tech related things. Technical Ability and Intelligence go hand in hand in the game.
Cool
Cool though as it may sound is an attribute to show how calm your character can be in dire situations. This will allow you to aim better, have a clear conscience, and even will help to modify assassinations, nerves, and a few reflex skills.
Not everything in Cyberpunk 2077 has to be dealt with by taking out a gun, if you have invested heavily in the Cool attribute, your character will largely remain calm while you can think and come up with alternatives.
