When you first start investing skill points into Technical Ability for Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll have four perks available to you in the Rookie section of the skill tree. You should unlock three out of the four, with Gearhead being the one you leave out. Unlock the other three mentioned below.

  • Glutton for War: 5% instant recharge of Health Items and grenades after neutralizing an enemy.
  • Transfusion: +30% Health from the final charge of your Health Item.
  • First Aid: +15% recharge speed for Health Items when you’ve only used one charge.

Gearhead is designed for those who want to partake in vehicle combat, as it will increase vehicle health. Considering there isn’t a ton of mandatory vehicle combat in the game, there is no point in unlocking this early in your playthrough.

  • All Things Cyber Level 2: -20% Cyberware Capacity cost for cyberware in the integumentary System and Skeleton.

And lastly, you will get more crafting components from looting, enabling you to craft higher-tiered weapons. This is the best starting point for players looking to make Technical Ability a primary focus.
