Version 2 of Cyberpunk 2077 will offer a ton of new changes to the base game alongside the launch of its Phantom Liberty DLC, let’s take a look at what you can expect on September 26!
The first is the redesigning of Cyberware, the systemwide be receiving a massive overhaul as well as changes of all of its models and visuals for the various Cyberware slots. The Frontal Cortex has received some nice changes as now it displays a 3D model of the head, and the different cyberwar are now more distinct and appearance, and hopefully may have slightly different effects to make certain less favorable options more powerful.
Cyberpunk 2077 will also be redesigning all of its perk trees, offering new ways to go down the perk paths, along with sub-perks that have to be unlocked by going through different trees and investing in certain skills beforehand.
One of the perks seemed to allow the player to launch themselves out of a moving vehicle, and then use that momentum to slam a sledgehammer into the floor, dealing AOE damage to all enemies and knocking them up into the air!
Another series of perks involved the “finishers” which seems to offer new brutal ways to take down your opponents with melee weapons, with different finishers for different weapon types.
The Relic Skill tree will finally also be unlocked. Players may recognize this skill tree as it was previously the bottom tree that had no icon and was locked for 3 years now will offer incredible new skills such as Spatial Mapping, Limiter removals to push your strength to the max, increased launch capacity for the Projectile Launch System, and more. The Relic Skill tree will require the Phantom Liberty DLC.
New vehicles will also be added to the game, coinciding with the game’s update to the police while also adding vehicular combat!
Players will now be able to hack while driving, as well as fire their weapons from their arsenal. Some new cars from the DLC come equipped with a stash of weapons from machine guns, to missile launchers, and have the ability to hover, making it easy to rotate 360 to catch your opponents off guard, especially useful when you’re surrounded by MaxTac, which can now appear in the game!
