How to Level Up Fast
The easiest way to gain XP fast and level up quickly is by completing the Main Jobs provided to you. These are the story missions in Cyberpunk 2077 and will offer the most XP, however, they are generally longer than other missions.
The XP gained from completing missions is determined by the difficulty level you’re playing on. Higher difficulty levels yield higher XP, so if you’re up for the challenge, this is a great way to earn XP and level up quickly.
Alternatively, you can earn a decent chunk of XP by completing Side Jobs and Gigs. These offer less XP than Main Jobs, but are far more abundant and take less time to complete.
You can view all your available Jobs and Gigs by opening your Journal.
Lastly, be sure to complete the various NCPD tasks that pop up around Night City as you explore. These aren’t tracked in your journal and occur randomly, but are very quick to complete and generally have you dispatching a group of enemies. Completing these tasks will reward you with Street Cred and XP.
How to View Your Level in Cyberpunk 2077
When you open your main menu, you’ll see your overall level and Street Cred level in the top left corner. However, if you want to know exactly how much XP you need to reach the next tier of each it’s a bit trickier to find.
Navigate to the Inventory tab and click on the Stats button to the left of V.
On the Stats screen you’ll see a detailed breakdown of your character’s stats, as well as how much XP is needed to increase your overall level and Street Cred levels on the left side of the screen.
What is the Max Level in Cyberpunk 2077?
The max level for V in Cyberpunk 2077 is 50. This is your overall character level and a direct result of the XP you obtain while completing various jobs in the story.
Your max Street Cred level is also 50. This acts as V’s reputation, allowing you to access special weapons and gear, as well as new vendors. You’ll gain Street Cred by completing many of the side jobs, gigs, and NCPD tasks while exploring Night City.

The max Attributes level is 20. This includes Body, Reflexes, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Cool. Since you get 1 Attribute Point every time you increase V’s level (for a total of 50), you won’t be able to max out every Attribute, so be sure to choose wisely.
