All Cyberpunk 2077 Attributes are leveled up by doing quests, defeating Enemies and through various actions that ultimately reward the player with experience. When the player reaches the experience threshold, it will level up providing increased stats and perk points.

AnonymousSo, rumors are going around that certain stats are currently bugged (as of now patch 1.04 at the time of my post) I have found a few posts regarding this, here is one relating to evasion and crit chance in which the author and several others outline that certain bonuses just flat out dont work, has anybody else observed this or tested for themselves? https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kbcsjp/psa_some_core_statsbonuses_arent_working/
OK, so I have been looking around and I have found numerous threads, on multiple websites and forums, warning and discussing the fact that certain stats and bonuses related to these stats appear to be bugged or broken. The ones that come up most regularly are regarding crit chance, crit damage, and evasion. Apparently bonuses related to these stats do not stack, furthermore it is possible to "break" them altogether in certain situations. For instance you can apply 2 mods that each grant +15% crit chance to one item but instead of getting +30% crit chance you will only get +15%, if you then remove one of the mods there is a chance that it will "break" the bonus entirely and you will get no bonus at all even though you still have one of the mods installed. I have also seen it mentioned that you can not apply multiples of the same mod to multiple armor pieces and have the bonuses stack, for example, installing crit damage mods on several pieces of armor will not stack, it will instead give you only a single bonus from a single mod. And as for evasion in particular, I have seen it mentioned that nothing at all actually increases the evasion stat beyond the bonus that you naturally get from reflexes, this included the bonuses added by skills, meaning that the

Did a more thorough test this time, on hard difficulty against a green difficulty pistol wielding enemy (their damage is consistent, but the health rounds to the nearest whole number so the damage numbers are rounded not 100% exacty):
2148 vs green pistol = 40 damage
2003 vs green pistol = 43 damage
1514 vs green pistol = 57 damage
707 vs green pistol = 80 damage
218 vs green pistol = 93 damage
About 36.4151 armor = 1 point damage reduction in this case, unsure if this is purely reducing damage numerically or by a % (for example this pistol deals close to 100 damage when at 0 armor, so at 2148 armor it's about a 60% reduction, or 60 points of damage reduced, unsure if a weapon that would deal 200 damage at 0 armor would be dealing ~140 (60 points of damage reduced) or ~80 (60% damage reduced)

Any information about the maths behind the Armor stat available yet?
I wish points in Technical would increase the damage of the Projectile Launch System cyber arm. Or perks that affect grenades also affected the projectile. Just, something that helped scale its damage like all the others have :(
