How to increase your Solo level fast in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty (2.0)
The Solo skill line is very closely tied to the body attribute in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. So if you are looking to go for a more tanky build that relies a fair bit on melee attacks, you will want to max out all the Solo skills as soon as possible.
Solo provides buffs to both fists as well as Gorilla Arms, while at the same time providing more health, carry capacity, lower finisher thresholds, and health recovery on performing a finisher.
So to level up Solo fast in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, here are a few things that you will need to do.
1) Invest in Fistfights
During encounters do not shy away from using your bare knuckles. Taking enemies down with just fists can be difficult early on, so try to support your punches with weapons and quickhacks. When the enemy is low enough, punch them out to get more XP for the Solo skill line.
2) Go blunt
Blunt weapons can be incredibly powerful with the right Body perks. Using Hammers, Pipes, and Baseball Bats are another way of leveling up your Solo skills.
3) Use Gorilla Arms
Gorilla Arms are the best Cyberware implants if you are going for a “Punch-only” build. So if you are set on your path to making the tankiest and the hardest hitting person in Night City, then go for Guerilla Arms to gain more Solo XP.
4) Use Heavy weapons
Using Shotguns, Light Machine Guns, and Heavy Machine Guns will also let you get Solo XP when taking out enemies and completing missions.
5) Complete all the “Beat on the Brat” missions
The ‘Beat on the Brat” missions where you go around taking on NPCs in a fist fight will grant you a lot of Solo XP. While extra Credits is what you should be looking to complete these Arena fights for, they are also a good source of Solo XP.
6) Loot chests, drawers, and enemies
The more you loot and your inventory fills up, the more Solo XP you will obtain. While the amount of XP is not much, it's a good practice to loot everything you see.
7) Get Solo Skill Shards
Often enemies as well as chests and drawers will have Solo Skills Shards, and acquiring these will give you an instant level-up to your skill.
