Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Features Sightseeing Binoculars, New Cyberware and More

The new update offers improvements to other bosses, more interactions with vendors at establishments and many other changes.

The patch notes for Cyberpunk 2077’s massive Update 2.1 are now available before it goes live tomorrow, detailing other changes coming to Night City alongside the new metro system, motorcycles, Radioport and more. Check out the trailer below for a quick overview of the major new features.

Some of the other changes in the update include sightseeing binoculars at various spots in Night City to admire the world. Vendors that spawned inside kiosks and were purely decorative are now functional (though food stands remain unaffected). If you’re keen on hanging out at a bar and interacting with the vendor, you can now do that in various spots.

Improvements to Adam Smasher are included, with the Arasaka cyborg now capable of activating Sandevistan. However, there are also changes (albeit unmentioned) for Yasha Ivanov and Boris Ribakov. Two new Cyberware – Feen-X and Cogito Lattace – are also coming.

The former provides +250 percent RAM regeneration rate when the amount available drops below 3/4/5/6/7, while the latter provides increased up to 240 percent increased armor when RAM falls below 2/4/6/8/10.

Update 2.1 Patch Notes

New features

V’s issue with their NCART City Pass is resolved and they can now travel between the 19 metro stations located throughout Night City on 5 different lines via fast travel or riding the train itself while gazing out the window and watching the world go by.
V will now be able to invite their love interest to spend some time together in any of the apartments. Hangouts are a repeatable, unlimited event that become available once the romance path with a given character has concluded.
You can now listen to the radio while on foot (or while riding the NCART train) using the new Radioport feature. Available while you explore, it switches seamlessly to car radio whenever you get in a vehicle and turns off when quest-specific music starts playing. It is now also possible to adjust the volume directly in the radio window.
Added replayable car races V can take part in after finishing The Beast in Me. Look for race flag icons on the map and win the races to get eddies and a discount for the Autofixer website. Additionally, we improved the racers’ AI to make them more competitive and made enhancements so that the whole experience is much more fun!
Sightseeing binoculars in various scenic spots have been added as another way to appreciate Night City’s vistas.
