For a V who prefers picking off enemies from a rooftop, Dead Shot gives sniper rifles a progression system of their own. StoofyFrond's Cyberpunk 2077 mod adds ten perks for power, tech and smart rifles, with points earned through sniper kills and headshot milestones. Each branch rewards a different approach, from long-distance fire to electrical effects and quickhack interactions.

The new tree runs through Custom Perk Framework and its supporting modding tools. The creator also documents a conflict involving Project E3 HUD: changing perks can disrupt the weapon wheel until the save is reloaded. It's a specific caveat for an otherwise focused addition to sniper builds.
