Like many of CD Projekt RED's games, 's DLC contains a great number of excellently concealed Easter eggs, hidden details, and subtle pop-culture references. Although some of 's secrets are easily discovered, others are incredibly hard to uncover — this, however, is part of the fun. While simple awareness of a reference is rewarding, having to spend a great deal of time and effort in locating an Easter egg amplifies the reward.
The three-year quest to solve a cryptic puzzle spanning Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 has been turned on its head by new clues and controversial datamining
25.09.2023 - 00:09 / pcgamer.com / Johnny Silverhand / New
Giant statues broadcasting a mysterious code, monks telling me to open my throat chakra, an ominous symbol added to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and now: a laptop displaying ancient Slavic text dropped into a middle of a landfill and a Johnny Silverhand-themed Wolfenstein 3D clone that unlocks a secret server farm. This is a side of Cyberpunk 2077 I never knew existed, FF:06:B5.
the FF:06:B5 subreddit and Kotaku both have in-depth breakdowns of this saga, but the basic facts from before Cyberpunk's big 2.0 update are as follows: there's a handful of large, stylized statues scattered across Cyberpunk 2077's world map, some of whom have a readout with the code FF:06:B5 on their base. Monks near one of the statues warn that players' «throat chakra is blocked,» and that they should «activate the meridians on the roof of [their] mouth.»
Disconcerting stuff, and it's spawned years of investigation and theory crafting by fans. CDPR's only added more fuel to the fire, like the inclusion of mini versions of the offending statue (complete with code) in some of the 1.5 update's new player apartments. In response to a question about FF:06:B5 from his Twitch chat in 2021, Cyberpunk 2077 quest director Paweł Sasko stated: «Of course there's a meaning [to the code]… Some things need to be difficult to uncover.»
Over on the nearly 23k-member FF:06:B5 subreddit, digital gumshoes turned to everything from numerology to Cyberpunk lore to reading coded messages from characters tapping their fingers to try and make sense of it all. If it isn't apparent already, for every legit FF:06:B5 clue, there's been a ton of Pepe Silvia-style conspiracy digressions, and that's all part of the charm.
On the legit side, last year Witcher 3-focused YouTuber xLetalis discovered an FF:06:B5 easter egg added to the game in its next gen update. Behind a portal in a remote bastion, the YouTuber found an ouroboros symbol with the equivalent to the letters FF, VQ, and B2 written across the top in Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet, and the main one used by CDPR for the Witcher series' in-game text.
Below is an in-game screenshot of the symbol taken by FaultyDrive on the FF:06:B5 subreddit. Lest that seem like a tenuous connection, FF:06:B5 is a hex code for a vibrant magenta color similar to (if not exactly the one used in) the triangle at the center of the symbol. Mother of god.
This post from Til_W on the FF:06:B5 subreddit outlines all the new clues found in update 2.0 so far. Players can now find a number of in-game messages between «TyRo/\/\aNtA» and «Polyhistor» regarding the code and what it means, marking the second explicit in-game appearance of the code aside from the statues.

Cyberpunk 2077's 2.01 update gives new meaning to the phrase "performance drop"
CD Projekt have detailed Cyberpunk 2077 2.01, the game's first patch following update 2.0, which implemented a top-to-bottom reset of the once-ailing but at present, rather triumphant sci-fi RPG. According to the provisional changelog, the latest update encompasses general performance improvements and minor fixes plus a fatal bug which sees V falling through an elevator floor to their death when the performance falls too low. Now that's what I call a plunging frame-rate.
