The next big update for Cyberpunk 2077 is finally live, and it focuses on Studio Trigger’s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, now available on Netflix. Check out the launch trailer below, but be warned: It could have spoilers.
The hook of this update is Clampdown, a new quest preceding the anime’s events. V is contacted by King for a job that involves entering NCPD’s HQ. Things quickly go south, but it’s nothing that a Street Samurai can’t get out of.
Fortunately, you’ll have a new way to do so: Dual-wielding pistols, courtesy of the new Double Trouble perk. While it penalizes each weapon’s damage, you can mix different handguns and even fire them together (with hits refilling ammunition). It’s the perfect way to fulfil one’s gunslinger fantasies and further ups the available builds. Just don’t count on dual-wielding other weapon types – the development team already decided it would be too overpowered.
Of course, Update 2.5 is chock-full of other additions, including official support for DLSS 4.5 and up to 6x Multi Frame Generation, new outfits, new Glamdocs to customize your arm cyberware in new ways, and perhaps most appealing of all, cross-platform mods.
