Body: Attributes 2

Learn how the Body attribute in cyberpunk 2077 affects health, stamina, damage, and unlocks powerful cyberware like Second Heart.

The Body attribute determines your raw physical power. In addition to allowing you to force open doors, each level of Body (starting from level 3) will:

• Add 5 Health Points
• Add 3 Stamina Points
• Increase damage with fists and Gorilla Arms by 3
• Increase damage with melee weapons by 1.5%
• Decrease movement penalty while grabbing an enemy and wielding an HMG by 5%.
• Increase movement while grappling an enemy and enemy grapple duration by 5 sec.

Your Body attribute also determines the maximum level your Athletics, Annihilation and Street Brawler skill can reach. The Body skill is for players who want to make use of shotguns, machine guns (principally light machine guns) and blunt weapons, including fisticuffs. Cybernetically augmented “Gorilla Arms” can give you the punching power of a battering ram. While shotguns are potent, weapons influenced by the Body attribute generally have short range and are not suited for stealth. The Athletics skill offers general abilities that enhance Health, Health regen and Stamina.

In addition to leveling Body skills and buying perks, your Body attribute will allow you to install a variety of cyberware that increases your survivability. Blood Pumps function as an infinitely replenishing potion (with a cooldown), Bioconductors reduce cyberware cooldowns, Biomonitors automatically heal you when your Health drops to 15%, various skeleton cyberware increase your Health, Stamina or carrying capacity, and the unique Second Heart cyberware fully heals you when your Health hits 0. Many high-tier Berserk operating systems have a Body requirement.

All in all, Body increases your ability to deal damage with mostly close-range weapons and increases your durability for close-quarters combat. This will earn you the Autojock Trophy.
