Feel the effects of all that chrome
If you’ve ever wanted to experience cyberpsychosis inside the world ofCyberpunk 2077, now there’s a mod for that. A newCyberpunk 2077mod adds a new meter that can, potentially, lead to V going cyberpsycho.
A mod developed by NexusMods user djkovrik called “Wannabe Edgerunner” adds a Humanity stat, much like one in the original tabletopCyberpunk. This stat changes depending on things like installed cyberware, Berserk mode and Sandevistan usage, and kills.
At different thresholds, V will start to experience different effects. Glitches, at first. But then visual glitches, a critical chance debuff, and finally cyberpsychosis. While this gives the player a nice set of buffs, it also insta-spawns the police if you’re in public.
To balance it out, this mod also adds Neuroblockers. You can buy them at Ripperdocs and use them to remove side-effects and freeze Humanity point loss while active.
Running to the edge
Cyberpsychosis has been a mechanic dating back to theCyberpunktabletop RPGs from Mike Pondsmith and R. Talsorian Games. And it actually ends up being a pretty significant piece of the recentCyberpunk: Edgerunnersanime, as a looming threat over the increasingly chromed-out runners.
WhileEdgerunnersfeatures it, CD Projekt Red’sCyberpunk 2077took a different route with it. While cyberpsychos are a recurring side-quest the player can complete, the player character V never runs the risk of cyberpsychosis. Granted, V has some larger problems, like the Johnny Silverhand engram stuck in their head. Pondsmith hasalso publicly discussedhow cyberpsychosis affects characters likeEdgerunner‘s David and2077‘s V a bit differently than most.
But if you’re aching to see some really wild cyberpsycho effects for yourself, this mod seems like it will do the trick.Cyberpunk 2077PC players can pick it up onNexusMods here. And check out some other mods, inspired by the popularEdgerunnersseries, inour round-up here.
