Exploring the Streets of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
Warning: Spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty lie ahead.
Hey there, fellow gamers! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wander the streets of New York in a video game? Well, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty might just have the answer for you. Forget about the countless other games that have taken on the Big Apple, because Cyberpunk’s rendition of New York is something special.
A Hidden Path and a Modder’s Dream
If you’ve chosen to side with Solomon Reed during the main quest of Phantom Liberty, get ready for a mind-bending experience. Along the way, you’ll encounter the ‘Somewhat Damaged’ quest, which takes you on a journey through a recreated Brooklyn apartment. Inside this virtual space, you’ll have a deep conversation with the netrunner Song So Mi, who used to live there before joining the FIA alongside Idris Elba’s character.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. The game’s subreddit has been buzzing with excitement as some clever sleuths discovered a way to explore the streets of New York beyond that apartment. If you’re playing on PC and have a mod that lets you clip through walls, like this one, you can take V on a little adventure. Though, I must warn you, this is not sanctioned by the game, so don’t expect any NPCs to keep you company. However, you’ll find some cars, including the iconic yellow New York taxi cab, parked along the streets.
Walking the Streets and Beyond
According to one player on the subreddit, all the streets and buildings in this hidden area have collisions mapped, meaning you can walk along them and even explore the rooftops. There’s even a secret facility called CynoSure located right behind So Mi’s apartment. So, if you’re up for some cyber sleuthing without being chased by AI-controlled murder-bots, this is your chance!
But wait, there’s more! Another player suggests that you can also reach these streets by clipping underneath the map in a certain area of Pacifica, just east of the Grand Imperial Mall. This area even features swimming pools. By taking this alternative route, you might avoid the usual dynamic weather and time changes, making it easier to spot interesting details.
