Johnny Silverhand is one of the most popular characters in so players wishing they could hang out more with Keanu Reeves' rockstar are in luck because a new mod makes him far more social. In the vanilla version of CD Projekt Red's RPG, the projection of Johnny's consciousness, which is embedded in protagonist V's head, appears throughout the story to both offer advice to players and just offer his thoughts on the current state of Night City. Unfortunately, those wanting to relax with Silverhand can only do so in V's original apartment, even if they own other properties.
Over on Nexus Mods, creator Deceptious shared their creation that eliminates that problem as the «Here's Johnny» mod tweaks to ensure that Johnny Silverhand can appear at any and all of the properties V is able to purchase during their career as a mercenary. These include The Glen, Corpo Plaza, and Japantown, as well as the basic starter home that all players gain upon completing the opening mission. Johnny can also show up in smaller safehouses, like Northside Motel, which aren't necessarily considered places where V can set down roots.
The mod is more than just an aesthetic change as Johnny can also pass the time by playing his guitar, an option that the player can select. If V grows impatient with the person living in their head they can simply choose to dismiss him, prompting the projection to disappear. This also happens if V manages to bring a date home or if they choose to go to sleep.
While «Here's Johnny» may be a simple mod in terms of what it sets out to achieve, it does solve one of the community's longest-standing gripes with the game. Ever since RPG launched in 2020, players have expressed confusion regarding Silverhand ignoring all of V's apartments except for the most basic option. While it's not essential that he follow V around at all times, he's still incredibly popular and many people like having Keanu Reeves just hanging out in their living room.
Why Silverhand's apartment preference is so limited will likely remain unknown and it's doubtful that CDPR will ever issue a patch to address the problem. The developer has confirmed that it's largely finished with the game as it shifts its focus towards the next game in franchise. Fortunately, the «Here's Johnny» mode is very easy to install so now V can constantly have their friend/tormentor hanging out at whatever home they want.

As with many RPGs, 's story is enhanced by the characters players can interact with, and the relationships that can be built, with players' choices even leading to in-game romances. In the case of, there were four main romanceable options, with a male V able to seduce Panam Palmer, a Nomad from the Aldecado family, and Johnny Silverhand's former bandmate, Kerry Eurodyne, and a female V able to date the hacker Judy Alvarez, and former NCPD detective River Ward.
Arguably Cyberpunk 2077's most famous date scene - the underwater scuba dive with tech wizard Judy Alvarez - was made with smoke and mirrors, according to one lead developer.
When creating Cyberpunk 2077's vast open world of Night City, it turns out that developer CD Projekt Red was faced with a "significant challenge" when it came to "adjusting to the scale and characteristics of American settings," simply because most of the team is European.
Sometimes, going down a lore rabbit hole can only make things more confusing. That's the case for one late-game encounter that V may or may not experience, depending on their decision in a much earlier mission. Random attacks by heavily-armed gonks aren't unheard of in ; the mystery usually relates to where they came from. They'll usually have some sort of Datashard on them, which may reveal who they are and who they're working for, or at least confirm whether they were hired to take out V specifically.
While one might think that Ripperdocs are some of the most trained and responsible professionals in , one fan shares their discovery that suggests even they can get it wrong sometimes. Through V's journey through the underworld of Night City, they'll be able to meet up with several surgeons who specialize in equipping cybernetic augmentations to the protagonist's body, making them significantly more powerful in the process. One such upgrade is the Sandevistan operating system which works wonders if it's installed correctly.
is an incredible game, there's no doubt about that, but one aspect that developer Arrowhead Studios has promised to re-evaluate is the implementation of the «auto-climb» mechanic that has frustrated many since launch. To help facilitate more tactical gameplay without sacrificing too much in the way of speed, incorporates a system that allows players to automatically vault onto or over an obstacle that gets in their way while sprinting. While it works most of the time, when it decides to grow a mind of its own the consequences can be extremely annoying.
A long-standing mystery finally has a satisfactory solution — but it wasn't answered by. 's massive, game-changing DLC resolved many secrets, answering a number of lingering questions about people, places, and things otherwise unexplained. But it couldn't turn over every stone. The setting still retains a lot of mystique. Whether someone at CD Projekt Red is saving these secrets for the sequel to , or no one's come up with a good answer yet, varies from case to case.
The inclusion of one confusing mechanic could enhance its sequel,. While there have been several updates to, and there's still the possibility for some smaller additions in the future, it has been confirmed that CD Projekt Red has largely shifted work toward the sequel, so rather continue to amend what came before, players can look forward to seeing what features can be improved or built upon going forward.
A hidden detail makes one of the game's more disturbing braindances even more eerie. Throughout CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG, players are able to relive moments from other Night City residents' perspectives through a virtual reality-type recording called braindances, which lets V feel their emotional states and anything they physically felt, as well as watching events unfold. In the universe, this is used as a major form of entertainment covering adult content, adrenaline chasers, and more, but V often uses them as ways to help with investigations, rewinding the footage and inspecting it on different levels to find clues.
Almost 200 new gigs have been added to , with the intent of helping players find some of the game's biggest secrets. While playing CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG, there are several easy-to-find side activities, such as gigs, which are marked on the map or activated via calls on the Holocom for players to get involved in. Despite this, the world of Night City is so rich and layered that there are bound to be elements that players don't discover upon their initial playthrough, regardless of how many hundreds of hours players may find themselves sinking into the game.
A mod lets players fully immerse themselves in the streets of Night City. CD Project Red's sci-fi RPG already had a first-person narrative for its majority, with players only able to swap to third person for driving, to make players feel like they were exploring its rich world, but a Virtual Reality mod has taken advantage of this to take things a step further.
There is no shortage of poorly released games. We’ve seen quite a few that just failed to hit the mark. Few games manage to recover and truly turn things around. Among that short list is CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. However, looking at the game now, we can see just how much the game has transformed into a more optimized and thrilling gameplay experience.
