Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.11 Enhances Gameplay and Expansion Features
CD Projekt Red continues to refine the gaming experience of Cyberpunk 2077 with ongoing updates and patches, demonstrating their commitment to improving the title post-launch. The latest in these efforts is patch 2.11, which brings a host of tweaks and adjustments to both the core game and its acclaimed expansion, Phantom Liberty. This patch not only addresses various bugs but also enhances gameplay mechanics, ensuring a smoother and more immersive experience for players.
Patch 2.11 Mechanical Fixes
Patch 2.11 has introduced several mechanical fixes to enhance the gameplay of Cyberpunk 2077. Notably, the patch has corrected an issue where melee finishers were not triggering correctly, which previously led to less satisfying combat encounters. Players can now enjoy the full spectacle of V’s melee finishers as intended. Additionally, the patch has addressed a specific survivability issue, ensuring that players cannot be killed by a quickhack while the Berserk cyberware is active, which is designed to prevent health from dropping below 25%.
- Correction of melee finishers not triggering properly
- Prevention of death by quickhack during Berserk’s active phase
- Fix for floating and reappearing loot
NPC Interactions and Police System Enhancements
The interactions with non-playable characters (NPCs) in Cyberpunk 2077 have been further refined with patch 2.11. A significant change is that now, killing NPCs who are inebriated or engaged in a braindance will properly activate the police response system. This adjustment adds a layer of realism to the game, as it closes a loophole that previously allowed players to eliminate such NPCs without consequence.
Vehicle Improvements and Radio Management
Motorcycles and vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077 have received several improvements for a better driving experience. The patch has fine-tuned the brakes and suspension of motorcycles, and all vehicles now feature “Brake Torque Vectoring” to reduce understeer during hard braking. The update also introduces new radio management options, allowing players to continue listening to vehicle radio after exiting and to cycle through stations with ease.
| Before Patch 2.11 | After Patch 2.11 |
|---|---|
| Motorcycles with less responsive brakes and suspension | Improved brakes and suspension tuning for motorcycles |
| Vehicles prone to understeer during hard braking | Implementation of Brake Torque Vectoring to reduce understeer |
Looking beyond the continuous improvements to Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red is already setting its sights on future projects. The sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is in the works, with the game’s narrative director suggesting that the original game was merely a “warm-up” for what the studio has planned next. This statement hints at ambitious goals for the upcoming title and sets high expectations for the sequel’s narrative and gameplay advancements.
