Update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077: What You Need to Know
Cyberpunk 2077’s Update 2.0 has officially launched, bringing significant changes to the game. The update includes revamps to perks, combat AI, the police, and more. Here are five things you should do right away after installing Update 2.0.
Play around with the build creator
Before diving into the game, take some time to explore the new perk and skill systems. CD PROJEKT RED has provided a tool called the official Build Planner, where you can assign attribute and skill points to plan your character build. Visit the Build Planner page to get started.
Create a new character or get ready to respec
Consider making a new character to experience the changes introduced in Update 2.0. This will also help you get familiar with the new perks and enemy AI before the release of Phantom Liberty. If you prefer not to start over, you can respec your existing character, but remember that attribute points can only be reset once.
Head to a ripperdoc and complete the “Upgrade U” quest
After reassigning your perks, you’ll receive a quest called “Upgrade U” from Viktor. Visit Viktor or any ripperdoc and have your implants replaced. This will introduce the newly redone cyberware system, including a cyberware capacity that affects your armor.
Try out vehicle combat
Vehicle combat is a new feature in Cyberpunk 2077 with Update 2.0. While driving, you can use pistols, submachine guns, or melee weapons to fight enemies. Learn how to utilize quick hacks against enemies and enemy vehicles, as car chases will play a significant role in Phantom Liberty.
Discover new secrets
The update adds more secrets to be discovered in Night City. Explore the city to find unique encounters, characters, and collectibles that were not available before.
