Well, if ya playin’ that game Cyberpunk 2077, you might’ve noticed that things can get a bit messy, especially with all them status effects. Now, don’t be worryin’, I’m here to tell ya all about ‘em, so ya don’t get too lost in all them fancy words and icons. Just sit back and let me explain, nice and easy like.
First off, let’s talk about them status effects. What they do is mess with ya in different ways—like slowin’ ya down, makin’ ya bleed, or even messin’ up your accuracy. They can come from weapons, quickhacks, or some of them nasty daemons floatin’ around. So, if you’re wonderin’ what’s hurtin’ ya, it’s probably one of these little buggers doin’ their work.
- Burnin’: This one’s simple—fires burn, and they hurt. It makes your health go down bit by bit, like when yer sittin’ too close to a fire in the winter.
- Bleedin’: This one’s a nasty one too. If you get hit with this, your health’s gonna keep goin’ down slowly, like a leak in a bucket. You’ll be wantin’ to get a bandage or somethin’ to stop it.
- Exhaustion: Ever been so tired that you can’t hardly move? That’s what exhaustion does. It slows ya down, makes yer stamina go all wonky, and it ain’t good for runnin’ or fightin’.
- Cold Blood: Now, this one’s a bit funny. It don’t freeze ya, but it sure gets you colder in the head. It makes you quicker and stronger, but ya gotta watch out for how it messes with your other stats.
- Nourishment: This one ain’t too bad. It’s like eatin’ a good meal. When yer nourished, you get better stamina and health regeneration, kind of like havin’ a warm bowl of soup on a cold day.
Now, you might be wonderin’ how to keep track of all these effects. Well, when ya open up yer weapon wheel, hold down the alt key, and it’ll show ya what’s affectin’ you. Simple as that. If you got some drinks or foods, ya might notice a little boost in yer stats, like that Hydration effect. Drink somethin’ good, and your max stamina goes up, plus you get a nice 50% faster stamina regeneration for a good long while. Ain’t that somethin’!
Speaking of drinks, don’t go thinkin’ booze is gonna do ya good. Oh no, Johnny Silverhand’s special drink will get you all drunk, and when you’re drunk, it’s like tryin’ to walk on a slick floor in slippers. Your movement’s slower, and your aim is all off. That drunk status can last up to 30 seconds, and it stacks, so don’t be drinkin’ too much if you’re tryin’ to fight.
Now, there’s somethin’ called System Collapse too. This one’s a sneaky little trick. If you can manage to pull it off, you can take out an enemy quick, from a distance, and without much effort. Every second or third kill, you might just get a nice surprise and wipe someone out fast. There’s also Memory Wipe and System Collapse, which can wipe out chunks of a whole trace bar—good for makin’ sure the enemy don’t know where you are.
But don’t think these effects are just there to mess with you. Sometimes they can be used against your enemies too. You might use a quickhack to make ‘em bleed or burn, or even mess with their mind, so they can’t fight back right. It’s all part of the strategy, ya see?
Now, if ya wanna stay safe from some of these effects, you’ll need some Armor Mods. Some mods can help ya be immune to certain status effects. That’s right, just slap on the right mod, and you won’t be as bothered by the likes of burnin’, bleedin’, or some of them nastier hacks. Ain’t no shame in keepin’ safe with a good suit of armor.
So, to wrap it all up—status effects in Cyberpunk 2077 can mess with ya in all sorts of ways. They can make ya slower, weaker, or even mess up yer aim. But with the right drinks, food, and armor mods, ya can give ‘em the ol’ slip. Keep an eye on yer icons, and remember—sometimes, the best way to deal with these effects is to turn ’em around and use ‘em against yer enemies!
