CD Projekt’s action RPG Cyberpunk 2077 launched in 2020.

The 2023 expansion of Phantom Liberty reignited gamers’ interest, prompting many to return to Cyberpunk 2077 in recent times.

If you’re looking for a fresh experience beyond the vanilla game, we have packed a list of the best mods for Cyberpunk 2077. While the title features several popular scripting framework mods like Cyber Engine Tweaks, this list focuses on mods that enhance the gameplay with unique features and innovative mechanisms.

Starting the list with one of the most sought-after features of the community, the third-person perspective. While CD Projekt’s other flagship title, The Witcher series, features third-person gameplay, most players wanted to feel such an experience for Cyberpunk 2077.

Fortunately, Jelle Bakker’s JB – TPP MOD WIP Third Person mod fulfills their wish. With this mod, players can now enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 from a third-person perspective and experience the richness of Night City from a completely new perspective.

2) Metro System

Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City is a vibrant metropolis filled with environmental storytelling. Widely regarded as one of the best open-world designs in gaming history, every inch of Night City’s streets is packed with immersive detailing. keanuWheeze’s Metro System mod enhances this experience by introducing fully usable transit across various Metro Stations.

These allow players to travel from one area to another while experiencing the serene view of Night City. With over 19 different Metro Stations, players can wait for transit like real life to pick their ride. Moreover, switching between a first-person perspective (FPP) and a third-person perspective (TPP) while traveling inside the transit allows a unique way to appreciate the stunning beauty of the map.

3) Kiroshi Opticals – Crowd Scanner

While CD Projekt delivered a brilliant piece of work on the storytelling of various major characters and their backstories, there isn’t much depth for the NPCs of Night City. However, the Kiroshi Opticals – Crowd Scanner mod by Alien and BadAssGodFather takes a unique approach by generating backstories for the NPCs of the game.

These backstories are generated procedurally based on the appearance and gender of the NPC and are displayed in a new section on the scanner panel. However, this feature works only for crowd NPCs.

4) Drone Companions
