The latest update for Cyberpunk 2077, version 2.0, has introduced changes to the skill progression system. One of the skill categories, Shinobi, focuses on stealth, precision, and evasion abilities. With these changes, leveling up your Shinobi skill tree can greatly benefit stealth-focused gameplay. In this article, we will discuss the best methods to quickly level up Shinobi in Cyberpunk 2077.

Best Ways to Level Up Shinobi in Cyberpunk 2077

To efficiently level up the Shinobi skill, it is recommended to use weapons such as katanas, chainswords, machetes, and the iconic Mantis Blades cyberware. By constantly engaging in fast attacks with these bladed weapons during combat, you can earn skill points for Shinobi progression. It is important to note that using ranged weapons will provide minimal experience for the Shinobi skill, so focusing on close-quarters combat is advised.

In addition to melee kills, utilizing parkour actions such as running, dodging, jumping, climbing, and sliding will also contribute to the progression of the Shinobi skill. Instead of taking direct routes, try to navigate environments using these movement skills. Performing stealth takedowns with high mobility will further accumulate experience for Shinobi.

As you level up your Shinobi skill, you will unlock passive bonuses that enhance your combat effectiveness. These include increased critical hit chance while crouching and reduced stamina costs for dodging and dashing. The final skill in the Shinobi tree provides a 40% critical hit bonus when utilizing the Sandevistan cyberware.
