Crafting in Cyberpunk 2077
You can make your own equipment or improve found items, for example with weapon mods. But how exactly does that work in Cyberpunk 2077?
What can I craft? You will find blueprints in the game world, the recipes of the cyberpunk world, so to speak. Among other things, you produce the following:
- Consumables such as medicinal sprays
- Weapons and weapon mods
- Grenades
- Clothing and clothing mods
- Daemons you need for hacking
- Cyberware
Not only do you create new items, but you can also improve your weapons or clothing if you wish. So your equipment remains useful even as you level up. Clothes bring their own armor values, you always only wear the one with the next better value, you run the risk of quickly running through Night City as a mixed style clown. You determine your look yourself with upgrades.
Can I craft anywhere? You don't have to go to special workshops to make something - it's easy to do in the menu. CD Projekt sacrifices a bit of realism here to make it more comfortable for you.
Do I need a certain talent for this? In fact, crafting has its own talent tree as part of the technology attribute, in which you unlock additional skills, for example better items or higher sales prices when you trade with NPCs or the automatic dismantling of junk items. You can read here exactly how this works with attributes and talents:
Where can I get materials? You can either find the materials in the open game world - or you can dismantle the equipment of your fallen opponents into its individual parts. There are Common, Rare, and Epic Materials that you can use to create Common, Rare, or Epic items, respectively. So that you can collect, store and use your raw materials, you of course need an inventory.
Cyberpunk 2077's inventory
As in other role-playing games, you also collect equipment, weapons and crafting materials in Cyberpunk 2077, which of course end up in your inventory. We explain what special features you have to consider.
Is my inventory limited? Your figure V cannot carry around everything that he or she picks up, because your carrying capacity is limited. You can increase it by increasing your strength or having certain cyberware implanted in you. You can see how busy you are at the moment in the menu. Objects and materials that are too heavy can, however, be stored in your apartment, among other things.
Can I store items in the car? Yes, your vehicle also serves as an interim storage facility. If V owns a car, you can, for example, keep weapons in the trunk and exchange them if necessary.
The cyberware
Cyberware is one of the great peculiarities of Cyberpunk 2077. It is closely connected to the game's lore and also has a big impact on the game. Most of you are probably familiar with the Mantis arm blades, which were shown in the very first teaser for the role-playing game. We explain what the implants are all about.
What is cyberware anyway? The implants are an important part of life in Night City. Particularly powerful and reliable cyberware can only be afforded by the rich; rather questionable upgrades are traded on the streets. While some implants only look (more or less) decorative, others give their owner superhuman abilities, for example particularly stable bones or murderously strong gorilla arms.
What kind of cyberware is there? Depending on the size of your wallet, you can improve your figure with many different technical gadgets. For example there is cyberware for your limbs, eyes, your skeleton or the nervous system.
How do I get new cyberware? Basically, you have two options: You can buy the implants from a Ripperdoc and have them inserted, or you can craft them yourself. The dealers only sell you particularly good - and correspondingly rare - cyberware if you have a high street cred level. And even then you have to dig deep into your wallet.
Can I Get Cyber Psychosis? This disease occurs in the cyberpunk universe among those who have too many implants and lose their humanity. At some point the cyberware overloads your brain, which can lead to confusion, increasing aggression and ultimately uncontrolled outbreaks of violence. Such cyber psychos are a big problem in Night City.
The good news: Your figure is immune to this disease, so you can happily implant yourself. Cyber psychos, however, provide you with crisp, optional boss fights in the open world.
