You gotta love how melee enemies just made a complete 180 from a total joke in normal gameplay to actual challenge given restrictions such as these

"all enemies are bosses" has been done in Dark Souls many times. It would be really fun to see that in Cyberpunk, great idea!

lmfao imagine working at arasaka, a chick with a sword walks in, stands still with her sword in the air, and then every time you shoot her one of the coworkers behind you takes your bullet

18:55 Dude has figured it out! "You can't deflect my bullets if I don't shoot at you"

I never even realized the amount of mean reds in Konpeki and basically everything leading up to Jackies death, thanks for pointing it out. Full twelve rounds.

I’m doing a Geralt run right now. Only swords and grenades. Absolutely cracked

Being able to speed up time to 20x (or whatever you want) with the time acceleration mod is a godsend for getting through unskippable dialog/cutscenes like with Takemura at the diner.

I got the game on PC a wee while ago and I absolutely love modding and playing and stuff, did my first run with restrictions (wasn’t really a challenge run bc I played on 3/4 difficulty) but it was tonnes of fun. Thanks for all the content!

2:48 lmao everything is perfect in that moment - NPC placement, random voice line

in case u didnt know, i'm pretty sure with the 2.0 update, all levels scale to ur level, even the secret ending. i think they keep the difficulty up by placing you up against more skull enemies however its nowhere near as impossible as it was before. i think the lowest ive completed it at since the 2.0 update was around level 30/35 (however this was a 20 body build with high HP and using every heavy machine gun the enemies dropped). if this has been changed since, feel free to call me out, just adding my experiences!

Should have done this as Obi-wan

What about a run where you cant stop moving? If you can get a modder to make it, you could have a mod where if you stand still for to long it instant kills you or spawns a bunch of grenades at your feet.

I beat cp2077 but everyone is Adam Smasher

just wanted to say i discovered you recently and love the content you make.

I love your videos and speedruns, dude. Your energy is fantastic

13:27 KZfaq chill we can explain! 19:00 - 19:30 loved this part 😂 20:15 Panam Super Saiyan? 51:00 what's this jumpscare!? 😆💀

the Skullcracker perk giving you more damage with quick melee attacks made me think of doing a Gun-Bash Only run...

Yes! Been waiting for this video

8:45 I don't know all the conversations this works on but I know ones that used to be skippable, if you load the autosave made before the dialog started, it becomes skippable again. I'm not sure if the unskippable dialog os a bug or if making it skippable again is I don't remembered why I tried this but if you can quicksave or the game makes an autosave, loading it will allow you to skip again

Back when I played this so much (when it came out) I tried getting this ending for hours. had manual saves for Kerry/Rouge/Johnny grave section and followed a guide to the T and it never happened. Might pick it back up and give it another shot. insane to me how you just decide "this is the ending i'm doing" even if it's with such a restriction as this, it's insane but incredible.

I like the "what if every enemy was a boss" idea. Would be very entertaining!

Where did you get the rukia mod? havent seen it on the nexus

“Why are they so grenade happy” it’s a question I ask myself when playing this too often

I love how this starts as a challenge run, but it ends as just kinda a viable build

Love your cb vids u are the best :)

Dude that hoonicorn mod is sick! Also RIP KB43 🕊️

to be honest, i realy like your voiceovers

you can also add Phantom Liberty bosses for the run idea of min 32 (also the mini bosses) so you really have more variety of enemies

12:50 WOW the counter attack missed because the door frame got in the way, thats some good ass video game

can you deflect with other blades or only Katana? can you deflect with machetes and similars?

mr sandwich your my favorite cuberpunk youtuber. words can’t explain the feeling in my heart when i see a new upload. my glorious ham king.

Seeing the Hoonicorn in the cyberpunk world is something i thought would never happen.

I’ve never gotten that shining red sword before, new playthrough time

If you like it don't stop doing voiceovers, I enjoy hearing your after play commentary too! Anyway, thanks for the vid!

Love your videos keep it up.

Playing Cyberpunk like it’s Sekiro. I love it👌🏻 Would it be possible to do a run where guns just aren’t present? Like other than the driving segments. Could you have it so every npc has melee?

Placide's greatest weakness is Placied.

❤ Ooh, I love your idea for the Boss Challenge Run, building the Ultimate V ❤

Just gonna leave this comment here as I don't really seem to see anyone think about doing that: while blocking bullets does often cost a few countries worth of stamina, a rather easy trick imo is to simply get the lvl 20 reflex talent for air dashing not just being free but GIVING stamina and then simply holding block while dashing either around or, if that would bring you out of LOS or is just too annoying, simply keep air dashing into a wall next to you, so you get the stamina, but don't actually move. made life so much easier for me once I realised that

Helping the homie by watching his videos well i`m asleep. Good for the algorithm

Hey man. Really loving these vids (backlog binge) and seen a few of your livestreams. Have you thought about doing a run where you can only use Plan B? I think it'd be funny to have your only resource being EB for both ammo and gear. Maybe force it at common rarity using mods, making it similar to your starter pistol run. Maybe you'd beat Oda!

I love you're choice for the voice mod! Oetsu would have been perfect too.

I dont know if its the lighting or the beard but you look great in this video also great video lol.

A Rukia appreciator. Nice.

so big tip for your following challenge run you can get to like nigh-permanant 90% damage reduction with a few peices of cyberware: Kerenzikov + defenznikov + all the cyberware that increases mitigation STRENGTH (not chance). with the dash mitigation perk you have 100% mit chance in dash, and with defensikov you have 100% mit chance for 2 seconds after dash which is almpst enough time to get kerenzikov back if you have maxed out cyberware CD perks.

Adam Smasher says "Are you built to endure?" and all I can imagine V saying is "Nah, I'm built to persist" idk why

This run would have worked really well with a lightsaber mod.

15:53 its a bug that locks save, happened to me in every run

Yo Abraham. I heard that the Mantis Blades take like less stamina or something when deflecting

I’ve been having the save issue as well no idea what causes it

The most famous example of bullet blocking with a Katana has to be deadpool right? He cuts one in half, then half blocks/tanks Cable's spray.

This rukia lost her Ichigo early and she went wild.

is there a mod to make npcs fire weapons like real people? like more bullets being fired instead of burst and then staring at you for five seconds and more accurate depending on the type of enemy

very nice, but can you beat the game shooting the least amount of bullets and no melee weapon?

Please try continuing this build with phantom liberty

I mean. That’s an enemy randomizer you would set up. Have it all be bosses and that every enemy in the world is switched through a randomizer which would add chaos

12:10 you know it never occurred to me until now but how did Johnny pick up a stool? He's literally a figment of your imagination. Also should have called this a jedi run

Did y'all ever figure out if different weapons affect the deflect?

If you make all the enemies Adam Smasher would it be Cybersmash 2077?

18:57 LMFAO upd: cool playthrough, but i can't even imagine how many trillions of quickloads you have done trying to melee block or blocking with no stamina :D

Anyone ever scan Royce in NCPD database? Among other horrible things, he's a serial rapist. May be the only character worse than Jotaro. Killing him is like punching Fingers. Have to do it every playthrough.

IDKY i thought he was gonna hit the grenade back with the flat of his blade like a baseball

My run im trying is only using edgerunner stuff ( so like guts, the military tec, the cannon arm or wire arms, etc.) And im having a blast, just slow time and blast them in the face 😂

Man drive hoonigan most fun machine

2:47 mans turned on creative mode

Never knew Smasher could laugh, I'm now terrified

Hey! I have a good idea for a challenge and I love your content so I just wanted to see if you'd ever wanna try it, have you ever tried beating the game normally?

what about only weapons melee attacks?

my man playing half life/gmod 2:47

Well, this game's melee combat ain't no Sekiro, that's for sure. Never played the game prior to the 2.0 update, so, legitimate question: Was the stamina system always present and/or was it this restrictive?

This sounds fun. "Stop hitting yourself"

Do a rondomaizer run it sounds cool

LETS GO NEW VIDEO

ah yes, CYBEPRUNK

CYBEP RUNK is my favorite video game of all time

hey, ever since i started playing this game about a week ago. ive been watching a bunch of your vids and wanted to ask if u could do a fist and take down only run (no arm mods) and wanted to see how far u can go, up for the challenge? start with the corp and cosplay as one punch man :>>

Probably way too complex a mod for a stupid pun, but I'd love a mod where every enemy is either Adam Smasher, or has 1HP and melee only, so is basically a free pass, but it's randomised so you don't know what you'll get. I call it Smash(er) or Pass.

I am so pleased that the mean reds have become an enduring meme on this channel. I feel like I accomplished something.

Finally a rub start skip! It was literally always the same thx

for the Oda fight, I think that was fair, because you didn't really deal more damage than he healed with your first😊😊

12:13 in one of my play through in patch 1.6.1 on xbox one they both killed each other

NEW ABRAHAMSANDWICH VIDEO!!!! lets go >:] i love your videos so much and i always appreciate the work you put into them!! unfortunately im not smart enough to code so i wouldn't be able to help with the mod but really looking forward to all your future challenge runs!!! :)

this is one big uno reverse card playthrough of the game

ai is getting scary good lol, only a matter of time til we get a real blackwall

i need to hear your spongebob ai voice say "See you in the major leagues"

I liked your voice over

Haven’t finished vid yet but I swear if you block the enemy as they shoot you get a almost guaranteed crit kinda like a parry but for bullets

32:32 idea would be sick

Your health being so low your auto heal was constantly triggering was a cool unintended effect though. It was reminiscent of the end of Edgerunners.

a playthrough with a "grenade hell" mod would be dope. every enemy throws Ozobs nose on cooldown edit: just saw the section where you talk about the NPC mods 😅 All bosses and random Cyberpsychos run?

HOW DID I MISS THE UPLOAD

Samurai jack run next?

do a run with only skippy's auto shooting (idk if its possible)

monster energy car? is it modded in?

Yoo what car is that in the beginning

Was he talking about a enemy rando/ boss rando?

Anime title: I got reincarnated with only deflection skill

I love Cybeprunk.

would love to see a mod that lets you skip the brain dances, doing challenge runs and just having to stop for minutes at a time kinda makes it annoying, especially when you have bad saves like the mission to save Evelyn

Car only run. Use the mod to summon a car/bike and see how much of the game you can beat while riding it, imagine fighting Smasher on a bike
