https://www.dualshockers.com DualShockers is the definitive destination for video game fans. From Gaming News to trending anime, we’ve got you covered. Wed, 06 Dec 2023 19:31:24 GMT en-US hourly 60 Cyberpunk 2077 has just received what's supposed to be its final (or is it?) major update, version 2.1, alongside the Ultimate Edition. So has the game's redemption arc finally come to an end? Rolling out hefty updates for a non-live-service title consistently over three years isn't something you see too often, and it just underlines how far off the mark the game was back in December 2020 when CD Projekt Red unleashed it, trying to ride the hype train after all that massive marketing.

]]> Wed, 06 Dec 2023 19:31:24 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-patch-2-1-starting-to-get-a-bit-silly/ Cyberpunk 2077 had a disastrous launch, but now, three years later, CD Projekt Red announced that the game has sold over 4 million copies and that the recently released DLC The Phantom Liberty has a 20 percent attachment rate.

For a player planning to run a Netrunner build, their help and services will be invaluable in making the system work.

]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2023 16:00:19 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-all-netrunner-locations/ Cyberpunk 2077 provides players with a multitude of ways in which they can tackle the game. Gun-centric builds can mow down enemies with the biggest, baddest assault rifle they can find, Netrunners can hack their way to success, and melee fighters can do a no-weapon run with the right build.

]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2023 15:48:17 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-get-satori-katana/ Cyberware Upgrades in Cyberpunk 2077 are divided into five tiers, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Iconic, and Legendary. Legendary Cyberwares are immensely powerful boosts to a particular aspect of V abilities, giving players a new way to specialize their build.

]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2023 15:42:18 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-second-heart/ The Shinobi in Cyberpunk 2077 is a high-speed skill that uses slides and dashes to stay out of danger while cutting apart all your enemies. To level this skill, you need to dash around or get kills with reflex weapons like a Katana or other Blades — or Submachine Guns and Assault Rifles. Being a mobile force of death often gives you the experience to level up your Shinobi skill line.

]]> Thu, 09 Nov 2023 18:59:28 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-shinobi-build/ For all its beauty and charm, the world of Cyberpunk 2077 is ultimately a hive of scum and villainy where danger lurks around every corner. Luckily, you’ve got plenty of gear, cyberware upgrades, and of course weapons to even the odds in your favor while roaming the streets of Night City. Among other things, this also includes Tech weapons.

]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2023 19:16:22 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-tech-weapons-ranked/ Cyberpunk 2077 offers a vast selection of weapons, many of which are appropriately futuristic. By the time you reach max level, you’ll have dozens upon dozens of options to choose from, including brutal melee weapons, powerful assault rifles, deadly sniper rifles, and more. Then, of course, you’ve got your Smart weapons.

]]> Tue, 07 Nov 2023 05:44:08 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-smart-weapons/ Cyberpunk 2077 offers hundreds of weapons for V to choose from as they make their way around Night City. Some of these weapons were designed with damage in mind while others were designed around special abilities. You’ll also run into quite a few weapons that are more about style rather than substance. If you’re a fan of assault rifles, you’ll be happy to know that they offer a mix of everything.

]]> Fri, 03 Nov 2023 21:56:20 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-assault-rifles-ranked/ The base of the Cyberpunk 2077 world is all about body modification in the form of Cyberware. These upgrades can make your character even more powerful with increased abilities, better statistics, and even more armor than normal clothes can give you. There are 20 slots in total for various Cyberware items that fit in different slots on your character's body.

]]> Fri, 03 Nov 2023 17:23:14 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-cyberware-upgrades/ Cyberpunk 2077 players have access to all sorts of interesting items, from cyberware upgrades to Iconic weapons and everything in between. Some of these items can fit into pretty much any build while others are a bit more situational and are designed for a very specific type of playstyle. Cyberdecks are part of the latter category. These items are incredibly useful and allow V to use Quickhacks both in and out of combat.

]]> Sun, 29 Oct 2023 22:45:26 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-cyberdecks-ranked/ With so many weapons to choose from in Cyberpunk 2077, it’s often difficult to justify using a mere pistol over something that packs more firepower, such as an SMG or an assault rifle. And yet, some pistols are so good that you’ll want to make an exception. One good example is the Comrade’s Hammer.

]]> Tue, 24 Oct 2023 23:06:27 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-comrades-hammer/ Phantom Liberty introduced a lot of great content to Cyberpunk 2077, including new endings, missions, characters, and more. Naturally, the expansion also brought to the table a host of new items like the Mancinella Power revolver, the Baby Boomer club, or the Pozhar X-Mod2 Power shotgun.

]]> Tue, 24 Oct 2023 20:57:56 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-pozhar-x-mod2/ One could argue that Smart weapons make Cyberpunk 2077 easier by removing the need to manually aim when firing upon enemies, at least to a certain extent. However, one could also argue that Smart weapons like the Ba Xing Chong make the game more fun in a lot of situations and perfectly fit its futuristic tech-heavy setting.

]]> Tue, 24 Oct 2023 08:30:16 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-ba-xing-chong/ Assault Rifles are some of the most popular weapons in Cyberpunk 2077, and it’s easy to see why. These guns are very versatile, have good ammo capacity, deal lots of damage, and can be equipped with a wide variety of mods. Of course, not all assault rifles were created equally, and if you want the best of the best there are few better choices than the Moron Labe.

]]> Mon, 23 Oct 2023 21:46:34 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-moron-labe/ Cyberpunk 2077 features a pretty impressive selection of weapons that includes everything from basic pistols and swords to high-tech rifles, shotguns, SMGs, and more. Many of these weapons have Iconic versions that come with a variety of unique benefits and characteristics. One such example is the Yinglong SMG.

]]> Thu, 19 Oct 2023 21:15:04 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-the-yinglong-smart-smg/ Cyberpunk 2077 gives you a ton of choices when it comes to cyberware upgrades, and some of these choices are very difficult to make. Deciding what sort of implant you’re going to use for your Operating System is arguably the hardest one since there’s only one slot available and plenty of good options.

]]> Wed, 18 Oct 2023 16:19:21 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-netwatch-netdriver-mk-1/ Regardless of your preferred build, chances are you’re going to use a ton of cyberware while playing Cyberpunk 2077. These upgrades allow you to do everything from double jump and slow down time to attach deadly blades to your arms and so much more. A lot of these special abilities have a cooldown period attached to them in order to prevent them from becoming too powerful. However, you can bypass that to some extent thanks to the Axolotl.

]]> Tue, 17 Oct 2023 21:41:57 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-the-axolotl/ Weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 come in all shapes and sizes, from basic clubs and pistols to high-tech sniper rifles, shotguns, and more. All these weapons are split into five different categories, one of the most interesting of which is Smart Weapons. Just as their name implies, Smart Weapons have a mind of their own and don’t require manual aiming to hit their mark. However, they do require a Smart Link.

]]> Tue, 17 Oct 2023 21:09:42 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-smart-link/ Cyberpunk 2077 has a fun and lore-friendly progression system that allows players to gradually increase their capabilities throughout the course of the game by installing a variety of cyberware upgrades. There are many useful upgrades in the game, but if you value defense over all else you’ll want to eventually get your hands on the Rara Avis.

]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2023 21:08:38 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-rara-avis/ Cyberpunk 2077 features a wide selection of cyberware upgrades that can be used to enhance V’s capabilities. One of the most popular types of cyberware is the Sandevistan, an operating system upgrade made famous by the highly acclaimed Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. If you’re looking to chrome up just like David Martinez did in the show, the most important upgrade you’ll want is the Militech Apogee Sandevistan.

]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2023 19:03:13 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-the-militech-apogee-sandevistan/ Update 2.0 brought a lot to the table for Cyberpunk 2077 fans, but Phantom Liberty really took things to the next level. In addition to the usual slew of new characters, missions, and equipment, the expansion also introduced a bunch of other exciting content along with an intriguing new storyline.

]]> Fri, 13 Oct 2023 17:56:59 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-every-ending/ Cyberpunk 2077 improved tremendously since its rocky start back in late 2020. The game is finally bug-free for the most part and provides significantly more content than the launch version thanks to update 2.0 and especially Phantom Liberty. The expansion more than lives up to the hype by offering everything from new jobs and gear to new locations, NPCs, and more.

]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2023 21:05:41 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-timeline-explained/ Cyberpunk 2077 is a lot of different things. It's a culmination of over 8 years of work from developer CD Projekt Red; a single-player game with record-breaking player counts on Steam; back in 2020, it had one of the most disastrous launches in recent memory; it spent three years in ‘early access’ without actually being in early access; it's probably one of the most extensively covered titles by gaming outlets, and many more.

]]> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 22:45:33 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-20-re-review-neither-an-rpg-not-yet-a-movie/ Cyberpunk 2077 is filled to the brim with genuinely exciting weapons, including all manner of submachine guns, pistols, and even smart weapons loaded with functional artificial intelligence to guarantee pinpoint accuracy. One such smart weapon is the jovially named Skippy, a lost AI machine pistol players will stumble upon somewhere in Heywood, and there's a choice to be made in this quest line!

]]> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 20:32:25 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-skippy-keep-or-return/ Cyberpunk 2077 is filled to the brim with high-powered weapons that scream futuristic. But even with the overwhelming amount of firepower available to V, can anything beat a talking smartgun that hums Rihanna in the future?

]]> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 20:28:33 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-skippy-quest-walkthrough/ The main story quest in Cyberpunk 2077 offered several different choices, but the results never felt unique. As such, the player's choice didn't feel like it mattered in the grand scheme of things, at least not until the end.

]]> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 20:25:22 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-songbird-reed-choice-guide/ Night City of Cyberpunk 2077 is a busy metropolis with many places tucked away from main roads, elegant marketplaces with dildos, crowded plazas with trash, and urban hideaways that seep with sex. It’s a place where you can grab a bite to eat, grab some new clothes, get laid, and more. But there’s a range of bars that are marked on the map, so I decided to venture off and get a drink at each one, soaking the atmosphere of Cyberpunk 2077 in and ranking these bars from worst to best.

]]> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 11:01:31 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-bars-to-visit/ Cyberpunk 2077 is full of mechanics that make the game unique and give it a refreshing feel when playing it. Whether you're looking at the many different mechanics surrounding Weapon Types or the crafting system, you have a ton of interesting things to do.

]]> Fri, 06 Oct 2023 04:32:58 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-quickhacks-ranked/ The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is full of weapons to aid you in your quest to make your way to the top of the Night City streets. There are melee weapons, shotguns, handguns, SMGs, rifles, and sniper rifles. All have their unique advantages and disadvantages. There are also plenty of Iconic weapons to collect as well.

]]> Thu, 05 Oct 2023 17:33:54 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-weapons/ Getting your hands on a weapon that people are talking about or has a reputation is always a treat. These weapons don’t need to be the best in the game, as they can still provide all sorts of enjoyment for using them. Sometimes these weapons only come very late into a game and will get most of their use from side quests.

]]> Wed, 04 Oct 2023 16:24:54 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-how-to-get-the-erebus-weapon/ Missions are a staple in almost every video game ever made. They help give players a sense of purpose in the game’s world and can help to guide them in the right direction. This can be to explore the world or to overcome the main obstacles of the game’s story.

]]> Wed, 04 Oct 2023 14:40:36 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-best-quests/ There is a lot you can do in Cyberpunk 2077, and it doesn't just pertain to the quests and activities that you can jump into in the dark alleyways of Night City. It also has to do with the ways in which you can build your V to be exactly as you want it to be. From their looks to what they can do during gameplay, you are given nearly complete control over who they will come to be.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 15:05:31 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-netrunner-builds/ Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty DLC have made sweeping changes to the game, introducing new elements, powers, cars, and perk trees to overhaul the experience of leveling up and building the perfect character for your playthrough.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 14:04:10 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-double-jump/ Having the binary option to do or reject something in a game can be a stressful moment. Players often worry that the choice they make will ultimately ruin or enrich the rest of the mission. Some choices even impact the rest of the game.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 10:34:43 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-the-oath/ Ever since the release of Cyberpunk 2077, players have seemingly been disappointed with its open world. Instead of a bustling metropolis inhabited by believable NPCs, Night City often feels like a beautiful backdrop, especially outside scripted missions, but one that ultimately doesn't feel that lived in. Although I share the desire for a more dynamic and lifelike environment, I find it puzzling that other games with similar issues don't face the same level of criticism.

]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 22:46:32 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-open-world-why-are-we-so-critical/ A great advantage anime and Manga have as a medium is the ability to have any kind of outfit the talented mangaka can conceive. And in the hands of creators who truly understand fashion, this results in anime characters becoming worldwide known fashion icons. From streetwear to cyberpunk and avant-garde, anime has it all.

]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 18:15:36 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/anime-with-the-best-fashion/ While playing Cyberpunk 2077 you will come across some items that you can only get once. If you miss your opportunity, then you can never obtain these items again unless you start another playthrough of the game. That is why it is so important to know what items are available.

]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 14:54:36 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-missable-items/ Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is the game's final DLC alongside the update to version 2.0. One of the things that set CDPR's Cyberpunk apart was their commitment to breathing life into their world with excellent voice acting for practically every single character in the game.

]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 13:54:35 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-every-main-character-voice-actor/ A lot of games are known for paying homage to famous actors, singers, and other celebrities. Not only that, there are a lot of stories of individuals succumbing to terminal illness with the regret of not being able to play an upcoming game. Immortalizing these celebrities in the game's code means they will never be forgotten.

]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 12:46:47 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-ken-block-hoon-car/ Phantom Liberty, as I mentioned in my review, is another essential expansion by CD Projekt Red, often outshining Cyberpunk 2077 and addressing many of its issues. It showcases just how much the studio has learned over the past three years. Unlike the free update, Phantom Liberty feels like a true Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, particularly in its map design and overall story flow, which ultimately enhances its moment-to-moment gameplay.

]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 10:01:31 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-after-phantom-liberty-step-back/ Among the many issues that Cyberpunk 2077 had at launch, driving was among the least of their concerns. Critics did seem to identify that driving was clunky and not fun but that was hardly worth mentioning when quest givers were spawning inside of concrete blocks and pedestrians were t-posing all over the shop. When some cars turn into flying comets that rocket across the map for no reason, you barely notice that the controls of a vehicle feel rigid and unresponsive.

]]> Sun, 01 Oct 2023 18:30:32 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-vehicular-combat/ Making the right choice in a game can be difficult. Storylines can have a wildly different outcomes when selecting options and deciding how to finish off a quest. This can result in earning rewards you otherwise would not get, or even getting an entirely new ending of the game.

]]> Sun, 01 Oct 2023 14:39:22 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-kill-jacob-taylor/ Cyberpunk 2077 has lots of optional side adventures for you to go on. Some of these can be a rather lengthy ordeal, and they are much better suited to do when you just happen to be in the area as you wrap up another quest you are doing.

]]> Sun, 01 Oct 2023 14:24:42 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-cyberpsycho-location-guide/ Vehicles are a great way for players to get around a game’s map a lot faster than on foot. They can also make for excellent missions, such as racing against others or racing against the clock during a timed objective. Plus, a good vehicle is just plain fun. Riding around Night City is a treat that's hard to resist for any player.

]]> Sat, 30 Sep 2023 19:26:29 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-free-cars/ Cyberpunk 2077 will throw a ton of different-looking environments at you. Some in the desolate badlands, some in the futuristic seedy underbelly of society, some in the elite corporate world, and sometimes the just plain surreal.

]]> Sat, 30 Sep 2023 18:45:52 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-side-quests/ When I was first assigned to cover Cyberpunk 2077 a few years ago, I was given a rather unique task. With the promise that each civilian had a unique life, schedule, and movement, I was asked to track unique NPCs and then follow them around for an entire day. Ultimately, I was hoping to catalog the activities of each citizen in Night City, documenting their movements, eating habits, clothing changes, and more. As everyone who followed the game now knows, the result wasn't even close; pedestrians would often walk mindlessly back and forth on a loop and the names and designs were clearly just regenerated from a template. Worse, when out of sight, they simply respawned. We rightfully abandoned the project, having realized there was basically nothing in it.

]]> Sat, 30 Sep 2023 18:30:34 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-2-0-pedestrians-bugs-glitches-complete-mess/ There are so many viable build options in Cyberpunk 2077, especially for those who enjoy the more high-tech environment of the setting and want to invest in unique cyberware and operating systems that bolster power significantly. When it comes to the latter, nothing quite compares to the high-tier feel of Sandevistan, but many players may feel as if this operating system proves more mysterious than helpful.

]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 15:09:56 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-get-sandevistan/ There are multiple romance options in Cyberpunk 2077, including four main romantic interests such as Panam, Judy, River, and Kerry, though it's the first that interests so many today. She's a rugged nomad who doesn't do well with authority. She is strong-headed, strong-willed, and very interested in V. But like real-world relationships, romancing Panam in Cyberpunk 2077 relies on nuance and social cues that many players may miss altogether.

]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 15:07:04 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-romance-panam/ If the idea of dangerously speeding through Night City in the game's fastest car sounds enticing, then this one is for everyone who drives a little too fast in video games!

]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 15:03:48 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-free-rayfield-caliburn-guide/ To make the claim that Judy Alvarez is a fan favorite would be the understatement of the century. Of the many available romance options in Cyberpunk 2077—Panam, Judy, River, and Kerry—Judy garnered so much attention that, when it came to cosplaying Cyberpunk 2077, most chose her to portray. In the game itself, countless players soon discovered that Judy would only romance a feminine V, and as such, many restarted their game altogether to roll a new character.

]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 15:02:06 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-romance-judy/ When Cyberpunk 2077 initially launched in December 2020, it was an absolute mess, and fans and critics alike panned the game as a technical salad of bugs and glitches that marred the overall experience. But, here we are with millions of players thoroughly enjoying Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam Deck, and it's running quite well overall at this point. Who would have thought such a massive open world would be possible on a handheld system?

]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:58:52 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-steam-deck-settings/ Cyberpunk 2077 really wants to be an RPG. It gives the impression that it has all these branching quests, important dialogues, choices that genuinely matter, freedom in how you connect with the folks in Night City, and a non-linear approach to problem-solving. Yet, lacking in some of these departments, the game tries to make up for it by throwing tons of RPG-ish stuff your way, which usually boils down to just dealing with numbers.

]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:15:33 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-is-at-its-best-when-it-stops-pretending-its-an-rpg/ While Cyberpunk 2077's glitches and bugs upon release were devastating for CD Projekt Red, I would argue that, from the perspective of the gamer, there was a "so bad it's good" element about them. They had a viral quality about them, as a car would fly from one end of Night City to the other for no apparent reason at all. Pedestrians would spawn without clothing or faces. Vendors would literally pull food out of their butts and serve it to customers. From the eye of realism, I can see how the flying ninjas during a car chase or the bartender serving drinks in the middle of a highway weren't great, but I think we're far enough away from the launch now to at least share a few laughs about it.

]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2023 22:45:30 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/phantom-liberty-cyberpunk-2077-hilarious-glitches-bugs/ Cyberpunk 2077 has plenty of ways to play the game. How you approach combat is just as important as deciding which attributes and perks you want. You may prefer being a master of melee and always want to get up close and personal. You may favor the mid-range game and pop up from behind cover to take a few shots and then duck back to reload.

]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2023 20:45:30 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-sniper-rifles/ Cyberpunk 2077 is a game set in a dystopian futuristic society where almost everything is completely owned by corporations. It features plenty of high-speed vehicles and high-damage weaponry to experience during your playthroughs of the game.

]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2023 14:06:31 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-guts-shotgun-guide/ Cyberpunk 2077 has a slew of different vehicles in the game, and this vast array helps players experience the divide between residents; from scratched-up hunks of junk and very sturdy service vehicles to the truly futuristically designed Corpo luxury cars.

]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:45:27 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-fastest-cars/ Instead of the usual side quests so typical in role-playing games, Cyberpunk 2077 refers to its side content as gigs. Players don't have to focus solely on the main story; they can focus on the various gigs scattered about Night City by working with top-tier Fixers. One such Fixer is Mr. Hands, an enigmatic and charismatic individual who shrouds his face in darkness over the phone. That is, until Phantom Liberty.

]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2023 00:21:21 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-dlc-best-side-gigs-complete-mr-hands/ Developer CD Projekt RED didn't want a single player to miss out on the many iconic weapons hidden throughout Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. They included a black market vendor in Dogtown, tucked away inside the stadium, where everyone can buy the iconic weapons from the base game and some from the new expansion.

]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2023 23:01:29 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-dlc-best-weapons-buy-from-black-market-vendor/ Cyberpunk 2077 features an awe-inspiring array of iconic weapons, similar to legendary items in other role-playing games, that players can score by completing various missions and side gigs, discovering them in the game world, or buying them from specific vendors in Night City. But with so many iconic guns, it's easy to miss many of them.

]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2023 23:01:29 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-dlc-where-find-dogtown-black-market-vendor/ It's said that Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty adds over 100 new items, including weapons, clothing, and cyberware to Cyberpunk 2077. That means, for every collector out there, there are several new and unique weapons to flesh out your arsenal. Unfortunately, Dogtown is massive, and Night City is bigger, which means tracking down every new gun, especially iconic firearms, can prove to be quite the challenge.

And for new players, there's a lot to take in. One such feature is the new Relic Tree skill system, which works similarly to an ultimate ability in games like Diablo 4.

In Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll earn Eddies for just about every action you do, but they’ll only get you so far.

From the moment the game starts, you can play the game how you want and create a character the way you want. Through earning XP and building up your abilities, you can craft a V that is uniquely your own.

]]> Sun, 24 Sep 2023 22:02:57 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-earn-xp-level-up-fast/ The one and only post-launch expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 is gearing up to launch across the globe later this week. After the game's rough launch back in 2020, CD Projekt Red now has a second chance to make up for all the previous mistakes and release a polished new experience with some meaty content in the form of Phantom Liberty.

]]> Sun, 24 Sep 2023 08:00:28 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-release-time/ The Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update is here, offering you plenty of reasons to dive back in (or jump in for the first time, if you've been that patient). With dynamic car chases, vehicle combat, and a much better police system, 2.0 brings a lot to the table. Nevertheless, I can't shake the feeling that CD Projekt Red might be better off addressing some other aspects of the game rather than solely focusing on the features that were falsely advertised to begin with.

]]> Sat, 23 Sep 2023 22:46:27 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-2-0-update-broken-promises-alternatives/ There is a lot of customization for you to dive into in Cyberpunk 2077, with the game giving you a ton of different ways to make your V exactly how you want it. From clothing options to mods that can change your specs, you have a large playground to experiment with to make the game truly your own.

]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2023 23:45:28 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-armadillo-crafting-spec-guide/ Johny Silverhand is a huge part of Cyberpunk 2077, being a wise-cracking companion for your V whether you want it or not. And, while he is now just a digital construct haunting your brain, he has left behind plenty of things in the real world that you can collect yourself, should you choose to do so.

]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2023 23:40:27 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-get-johnny-silverhand-car-gun-clothing/ If you're struggling with difficult choices for your character in Cyberpunk 2077, you're not alone. Although the leveling system seems simple at first with just 5 main attributes, the number and variety of perks can be overwhelming. After all, CD Projekt Red designed the game to be as open as possible for character development.

]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2023 18:43:32 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-builds-ranked/ Ahead of the launch of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty next week, CD Projekt Red has released a massive update for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2023 15:28:34 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-update-2-patch-notes-september-21/ Getting an expansion some three years after the original game is rather uncommon, but with Cyberpunk 2077, it feels like the only logical step. CD Projekt Red just couldn't risk another misstep, so the team left behind old hardware and took their time. After the long wait, Phantom Liberty emerges as an exhilarating new chapter in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, surpassing the original in almost every way.

]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 15:09:51 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-review/ It’s a wild time for RPGs right now. While Starfield is currently in the spotlight, Baldur’s Gate 3 just last month cemented its place as one of the best RPGs of all time, and Cyberpunk 2077 is about to hit version 2.0 to accompany its upcoming expansion Phantom Liberty, which should neatly cap off the game’s redemptive journey since its disastrous launch.

You can katana your way through someone up close and personal, pop some heads from a long-distance vantage point, andsandwich someone between a wall and the front end of your car — but when it comes to charging in through a narrow hallway, nothing beats having a heavy-hitting shotgun with a good spread.

]]> Sun, 10 Sep 2023 22:00:28 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-best-shotguns/ Since its release, the PlayStation 5 has delivered a gaming experience like no other. From spine-tingling horror games to heartwarming, cozy adventures, there's no denying that the console has something for everyone. But for those who crave vast landscapes, boundless exploration, and epic quests, the world of open-world gaming awaits.

It paints a vivid picture of Night City, where technology and body modification blur the line between humans and machines. The series is replete with unique and engaging characters, each with their own backstory and motivations.

]]> Thu, 07 Sep 2023 22:51:26 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-edgerunners-best-characters/ Baldur's Gate 3 is everywhere these days, but I'm still waiting for its full release. Sure, it's not exactly in early access anymore, but it sort of still is. Not only is the game yet to be launched on PS5, but Larian is also playing it coy about when it's hitting Xbox. And don't even get me started on Larian's usual gig of dropping Definitive Editions for their CRPGs about a year later–that happened with both Divinity: Original Sin games, when it's fair to say that only with those definitive editions did the games reach their completed form.

]]> Tue, 15 Aug 2023 20:00:26 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/baldurs-gate-3-wait-for-definitive-edition/ Cyberpunk 2077 offers several endings to the players based on their choices throughout the game. Players can end the game as a Night City legend or experience the saddest ending and watch V taking himself out. However, for players who like to take on a challenge, and want to go all out taking down the enemy themselves, the secret ending ‘Don't Fear The Reaper’ is the perfect one for them.

]]> Tue, 15 Aug 2023 13:16:23 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-dont-fear-reaper-secret-ending-guide/ When was the last time you scrolled through a clutter of drugs, food, and potions stashed in your inventory in an action-RPG and actually felt any joy? Or even a hint of satisfaction, thinking about the time you're about to spend sifting through tiny explanations and organizing items that only give you a fleeting boost for a mere five seconds? As for me, it's been ages, and I'm starting to question if it ever genuinely existed.

Sure, apologies in the gaming industry are nothing new—there was time when everyone was saying sorry for PR snafus, from THQ Nordic doing an 8Chan Q&A to a Division 2 marketing email joking about the government shutdown—but these are something different. All the same format (a li'l picture with an apology written on it to be passed around on social media) and almost all apologizing for the same thing: an underwhelming release.

]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2023 20:00:24 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/where-did-developer-apologies-come-from/ Brain dances are one of the ways that Cyberpunk 2077 quickly shows you how far advanced technology is in this world compared to ours. Allowing the user to watch a previous event that was recorded from another person's point-of-view in order to find clues and details is something straight out of Minority Report and something that you will do frequently throughout your playthrough.

During the whole game, several missions and choices will have a significant impact on the storyline players will experience. The Nocturne Op55n1 is one such vital mission in Cyberpunk 2077. Though there is not much activity in this mission. The choice you make at the end will decide which missions you will have to complete afterward, and which ending you will get.

In Cyberpunk 2077, you'll navigate through a dystopian future in which humanity is squeezed between the near-lawless society of Night City, and the corporate overlords and gangs controlling it. The only way to survive is to 'chrome-up', shedding pieces of your humanity in exchange for cyberware upgrades.

]]> Tue, 25 Jul 2023 03:16:26 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-stadium-love-side-mission-guide/ In Cyberpunk 2077, Night City is a land of lawlessness and opportunity. For the most part, residents of the city need to be self-sufficient and look out to save their own skin to survive. Sometimes, that means selling out those close to you for a chance to live another day.

]]> Tue, 25 Jul 2023 01:30:27 GMT https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-the-highwayman-walkthrough/ In Cyberpunk 2077, not everyone is content with the way things are in the city.

Sandevistans will allow players in Cyberpunk 2077 to move incredibly fast, while at the same time being so mentally aware of it that the entire world slows down around them. This super speed allows players to perform much more efficiently in the game, and each Sandevistan adds other benefits in the process.

That wasn't the case with Netflix's Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a series that helped garner new interest in Cyberpunk 2077, leading to a meteoric rise in popularity after the game's initial shortcomings.

That is if players are into the bad-boy rocker aesthetic!
