At level 2, The Wrecking Ball perk allows you to use Blunt weapons to knock down enemies or simply deal significant damage, but not all gamers understand how this mechanic works. In this guide, we'll show you how to use the Wrecking Ball perk in Cyberpunk 2077.
In fact, it is straightforward to do if you carefully read the information in the perk description, so from our own experience, we mastered this skill quite quickly. To understand how mechanics work and learn how to use it, read the information below.
Wrecking Ball is a perk that unlocks when you reach level 9 of the Body attribute. In general, there are 2 levels of this perk, namely:
So, as you can see, if you level up this perk to level 2, you will get a new mechanic, and that's what gamers have problems with. So, let's take a look at weapons first. The description mentions Blunt weapons, so if you don't know which one is best for you, here are a few examples:
And that's not even half of the Blunt weapons you'll find. Therefore, when you finally choose the right weapon for you, it's time to use the perk. To achieve this, you'll need to hold down the Sprint, Block, and Forward buttons at the same time while holding the Blunt weapon in your hands. Here are the controls you need to press on your devices:
| Device | Block | Sprint | Moving forward |
| Keyboard | Right mouse button (hold down) | Shift | W |
| PS4 / PS5 | L2 | Click in L3 | Left stick upwards |
| Xbox | LT | Click in LS | Left stick upwards |
If you do everything correctly, your character will start running with a Blunt weapon in her hands and when she faces an opponent, you will deal damage to them, and with a certain chance, you can knock them down. This will be useful if you are in a building where you need to get through a bunch of enemies unnoticed. This way, without firing any shots, you can knock them down one by one to finish them off and clear the building.
Personal tip: I also recommend upgrading a secondary perk called Clapback. It allows you to knock enemies down with a 100% chance, which will make you even more effective!
