Skills and perks in Cyberpunk 2077 are what make the game interesting. By spending perk and attribute points around the skill tree, it becomes possible to really adjust how the game is played. V can vary from a gun-toting maniac to a stealthy cyber hacker with the right builds. Now,Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyhas added a whole new skill tree known as the Relic branch that adds powerful and unique skills to the deck.

Relic tree explained

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyadds the Relic skill treeinto the mix for V. The Relic skill tree adds some pretty major upgrades to the selection. They are mostly focused on arms, but the two extra branches also affect stealth or combat. However, there are only a total of 15 Relic points availablein Phantom Liberty, so you’ll have to pick carefully.

Relic Arm skills

One of the first skills you will purchase in the Relic Tree will be the ability to upgrade your arms’ cyberware. The single Relic skill affects each of the different arm skills separately. It will cost a huge 3 points but then branches off into more specified skills.

The arms section then has a subsection for each of the different arm cyberware’s. These are as follows.

Stealth Relic skills

Another option for the relic skill tree is to spend them on a stealth option. The initial purchase will set you back 3 Relic points, but the sub-skill is only 1. Keep is sneaky with this option in the Cyberpunk 2077 Relic tree.

Combat Relic skills

If you want to go for more of an all-out warfare kind of approach, then the right side of the Relic tree is the right route for you in Cyberpunk 2077.
