  • Epic Second mod slot available (battery). Cost: 25,250
  • Legendary Third mod slot available (universal). Cost: 100,250

While that might seem like some pretty steep prices for the higher rarity Gorilla Arms in Cyberpunk 2077, just know that applying and combining mods with your powerful fists makes them all the more formidable.

To help you get the most out of your Gorilla Arms in Cyberpunk 2077, we’ve compiled our picks for the best Gorilla Arm build you can make, comprising of mods, cyberware, and perks below.

Best Gorilla Arms Build

The best Gorilla Arms build we can make in Cyberpunk 2077 requires you have the Legendary Gorilla Arms. That’s because it’s the mods you can equip to your formidable fists that really make them one of the best melee weapons in the game.

In addition to this, you’ll want to make sure you’re pouring a lot of your attributes into Body. That’s because improving your ‘Body’ attribute will also increase your stamina, which you’ll be using a lot of with each swing of your arms. In addition to this, improving your ‘Body’ attribute also directly affects how much damage you deal with melee weapons, including the Gorilla Arms.

In terms of Skills you want to level up, it’s the Street Brawler in case you hadn’t guessed. This will allow you to unlock a bunch of incredibly handy perks for Gorilla Arms. Fortunately, the more you use Gorilla Arms, the more you’ll naturally improve your Street Brawler skill. So in other words, get swingin’!

Best Cyberpunk 2077 Gorilla Arms Perks

We’ve cherry picked five of the best perks you’ll want to ensure you’ve got if you’re planning on using Gorilla Arms in Cyberpunk 2077. Keep in mind this isn’t an exhaustive list; you could add many more perks to the five listed below to further develop your build to suit your playstyle.

best gorilla arms perks in cyberpunk 2077
  • Unshakable (18 Body Required) – Successful attacks with Blunt weapons against stunned enemies restore 5%/10%/15% health and 5%/10%/15% stamina. Can trigger once every five seconds.
  • Efficient Blows (6 Body Required) – Reduces the stamina cost of all attacks with Blunt weapons by 25%/50%.

  • The Rock (20 Body Required) – Enemies cannot knock you down.
  • Frenzy (15 Body Required) – Defeating an opponent increases damage with Blunt weapons by 100% for 10 seconds.

Best Gorilla Arms Cyberware

In terms of Cyberware to compliment your Gorilla Arms, we’d recommend starting out with any type of ‘Berserk’ Operating System. These, when activated, reduce ranged weapon recoil and sway by 10% but more importantly, they increase melee damage and your armor. The %’s for these vary by the rarity and type of Berserk operating system you get, but any will be a good place to start.

We’d also choose the Microvibration Generator Skeleton Cyberware. This increases melee weapon damage from anywhere between 5-15% depending on the rarity.

We’d throw in the Adrenaline Booster Circulatory System Cyberware which restores a % of stamina after defeating an enemy between 10 and 50% depending on rarity once again.

Finally, the Visual Cortex Support for your Frontal Cortex will increase Crit Damage % from between 10-45% depending on rarity.

We’ve listed all Gorilla Arms mods for you below, and we’ll pick out our favorites a bit further down.

Our personal picks for the best Gorilla Arms mods would be the following:

  • Animals Knuckles
  • Rin3U Battery
