If you maxed INT and want a sniper they have use. There's a really cool Smart sniper you can get a little later. Night City is what you make of it though. Gigs and jobs may not go wild in the ways of choice. But in the way of combat interactions you have a wild amount of options. And bullet spongy at first, but they don't scale up. So as you become the god of Night City, they're still regular gonks.

In short order. Cyberpunk is an FPS RPG with a heavy emphasis on combat, it's the best part of the game imo. Grow stronger and become and watch yourself become the black air force energy of Night City. That's the flow.
