I know it still needs work but about 3/4 of the reviews after this patch were positive so that gave me the green light to finally open the game I bought 6 months ago for $10 for my Series X. I have about 10hrs in, on ACT 2. Currently lvl 10 with attributes at INT/BOD/TCH at 7, RFX at 3 and COOL at 5. Id like to run a hacking shotgun type with smg/handguns as my 2nd choice of weapons.

Any tips to my build or in general would be great but I have a few questions that I'd appreciate answers to any/all...thanks:

1. What does breach protocol do during combat? Like what is the benefit of it?
2. Seems like buying weapons or anything in general is pointless in beginning, what is worth buying as part of reason I chose hacker is for datamining eddies.
3. Best way to upgrade cyberware?
4. can mods be taken off weapons/clothes/cyberware?
5. Best quickhacks and how to obtain them?
6. Do the NCPD quests/jobs respawn?
7. Best non glitch way of making $$$?
8. Is it better to sell or breakdown rare/epic/legendary/iconic weapons/armor?
