The update 2.0 has many awesome and powerful perks for Cyberpunk 2077, which is why many players want to get the best Assassin build. To help you, I have created the perfect Assassin build that has crazy damage and added bonuses with guns and knives to help quickly take enemies down from covers. Below is how you can create the best Assassin build in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0.
What is an Assassin build in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0?
An Assassin build in Cyberpunk 2077 is a build that is mainly focused on taking enemies down from the shadows. Our build gives you extra speed and the ability to sprint when crouching, increased headshot damage with knives and silenced guns with other added bonuses, and some nice hacking abilities. When you complete this build, you will be ready to easily take hordes of enemies from the shadows.

When you finally complete the Assassin build, this is how you should distribute your attribution points.

There will still be a lot of attribution points left when you complete this, so feel free to add those where you see fit. I would personally invest them in the Reflexes tree to have Katana support in case something goes wrong.
