Stagger in Cyberpunk 2077

Stagger is a gameplay mechanic in Cyberpunk 2077 that affects combat dynamics, particularly in relation to certain weapons and attributes.

Overview

In Cyberpunk 2077, stagger is a mechanic that temporarily incapacitates enemies, making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. This mechanic can be influenced by various factors, including the type of weapon used and the attributes of the character.

Staggering Enemies

Certain weapons and combat techniques can stagger opponents. For instance, the AR Raygun Supreme 9000, a toy variant of the Militech M-10AF Lexington, can stagger enemies despite dealing no damage. Additionally, Razor Hugh, a character in the Side Job "Beat on the Brat," can be staggered by punches to the torso due to his newly implanted abdominal muscles.

Attributes and Stagger

The Reflexes attribute in Cyberpunk 2077 plays a significant role in combat, determining maneuverability and the ability to evade enemy attacks. Progressing in this attribute improves proficiency with various weapons, including those that can stagger enemies. The Opportunist perk, unlocked at 15 Reflexes, enhances the effectiveness of staggered enemies, making them more susceptible to finishers.
