The new DLC for adds a lot of new content to the game, most notable is the addition of an impressive and emotionally charged spy-thriller story that takes players through the Dogtown district. While the new story and NPCs are by far the most obvious things people notice about the DLC, there is much more that increases the value of the game through more subtle features and enhancements. A couple can be easily missed out on, especially if people are trying to rush through the story itself.

One of the reasons that Cyberpunk 2077 has been such a tremendous success is due to the many unique experiences that players can encounter as they play through the RPG adventure. There are plenty of different quests to complete and there are always objectives to tackle if you are looking for something to do. However, one part of the game that many people are thrilled about is its in-depth romance system.

But with so many good options to choose from, how can you know who to choose? Can you choose more than one romantic partner? Keep reading, we’ve got you covered!

Each possible ending of 's DLC can affect what happens next in the base game. The DLC's plot revolves around V's eternal search for a cure to their neurovirus. At the beginning of, they learn that the New United States government might have a remedy, and they can gain access to it if they'll only play government agent. Their first assignment: NUSA President Rosalind Myers' spaceplane has crash-landed, with the wreckage straddling the two rival sides of Dogtown. V will need to rescue the President, and more importantly, find out who was responsible for the crash.

The Yasha Sniper Rifle is one of the new weapons that the DLC is bringing to Night City. But getting this new weapon isn't as easy as killing some random Netrunner or working a side gig; instead, it's a part of the Drop event.

The DLC adds 33 new Iconic Legendary Weapons to the game, with the Militech Hercules 3AX being one of the highlights. Not only is it one of the hardest-hitting new assault rifles, but its modifiers also make it a visual spectacle in battle. What's more, you don't have to shed any credits to obtain it, as you stumble upon it during a Mr. Hands side gig.

s latest update has added several new weapons, including Errata, a deadly Thermal Katana. With a passive modifier that gives V a chance to light their enemies on fire to deal extra damage, Errata is the perfect weapon for aspiring street samurai as they explore Night City.

The newly released DLC for introduces many new features, including a secret mission where you can help a robot named Ironclad gain a new purpose from a broken existence.

While Cyberpunk 2077 has seen quite a resurgence thanks to its recent 2.0 update and the release of its Phantom Liberty expansion, developer CD Projekt has hidden quite a few new Easter eggs in the game, with a recently discovered one being a retro-inspired 90s-styled FPS.

's greatly expands on the Perk tree, including a whole new branch of Relic skills. This new section is unlocked almost immediately after starting the DLC. After meeting the Netrunner Songbird in its opening chapters and agreeing to work with her, V is called to speak with her once more. Songbird grants them access to the Relic tree, also providing three starter Relic Points to subsidize their first new skill. Additional Relic Points can be found at Militech Data Terminals throughout 's map.

Cyberpunk 2077 is enjoying another resurgence, as many had expected it would around this time. Last week, CD Projekt RED released Update 2.0 for the action RPG, significantly improving the base experience in many ways, and just recently, we also saw the launch of its stellar expansion, Phantom Liberty. In the aftermath of both, the game is enjoying a significant uptick in engagement, as evidenced by its Steam numbers.

Picking the best Cyberware is crucial to V’s survival in. Cyberware has received a significant overhaul as part of the game’s Update 2.0, with new and reworked Cyberware available to purchase from Ripperdocs all over Night City. However, high-end Cyberware is expensive and hard to upgrade, so it’s important to prioritize the best implants.

Within the world of Night City in , there are special weapons that can occasionally be extremely difficult to find but are one-of-a-kind and powerful, besides simply being fun things to collect and use. These Iconic weapons are unique and are easily distinguished by having their own names to set them apart from the rest of the weapons in the game. The new DLC adds even more of these named Iconic weapons, plus it introduces a feature that will significantly help completionists collect missing ones.

When installing implants in after Update 2.0, players will find themselves restricted by Cyberware Capacity. It’s a newly introduced mechanic that limits how much Cyberware V can install in their body, forcing them to be much more selective about installing implants. However, there are ways to increase the Cyberware Capacity limit or even bypass it entirely.

Phantom Liberty, the first and only story expansion for CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077, is now available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.

's main story is all about becoming a legendary edgerunner in Night City and getting Johnny Silverhand's relic out of V's head, but a distinct highlight of the game is romancing some of its key characters. Romancing Judy or Panam seem to be the most popular of the game's five options, but each have an associated storyline worth playing through even if love's not on the agenda. The release of, 's first and only expansion, has brought with it the 2.0 update and a significant overhaul to the whole game. Included in 's new story is Songbird, a major character working for the President of the New United States of America, but the DLC doesn't seem to extend any new offerings of romance.

Two of these options can lead to a new outcome for V at the conclusion of as well, although the other two will simply allow the game to pick up again, as originally told prior to the release of thecontent. This thriller story is full of backstabbing and espionage, with shaky alliances that can leave players not knowing who they can trust.

's DLC gives players two ways to get into the game: skip ahead to the new content, or start from scratch. The DLC is massive, expanding the Perk tree and cybernetic upgrades, while adding new story quests, new weapons, and new vehicles to .

When first taking a step onto the streets of Dogtown in, players will spot an airdrop containing valuable loot landing on the roof of a distant skyscraper. This cargo drop is the property of local warlord Kurt Hansen, and V can fight off his troops to claim the loot inside. However, they’ll have to reach the landing site first.

To unlock Relic Perks in, players must find Militech Data Terminals to get Relic Points. Relic Perks are among the most powerful perks in the game, and are particularly useful for anyone using Arm Cyberware such as the Mantis Blades and Monowire. However, Dogtown’s Data Terminals aren’t easy to find, making it difficult for V to unlock the Relic’s full potential.
