Cyberpunk 2077's Edgerunners 2 update adds two new quests, handgun dual wielding and the ability to pimp your mantis blades

CD Projekt Red released update 2.5 for Cyberpunk 2077, introducing a variety of additions themed around the second season of the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime. Among the new content are an Edgerunners 2 prequel quest called Clampdown, which provides anime-themed gear, as well as a new quest named Welcome to Paradise. This latter quest sees players explore Night City's history and lore through projected lectures from its founder, Richard Night, while uncovering a mystery.

Another notable addition is the Double Trouble perk, which allows players to dual-wield handguns and revolvers, limited to power handguns. The developers clarified that adding twin weapons or grafted assault rifles would be too overpowered and imbalanced for the game. Additionally, hand cyberware can now be visually customized at five new vendors called glamdocs. These vendors specialize in giving cyberware unique appearances, with 40 different looks to choose from.

Moreover, players can now customize their hand cyberware in terms of color, adding personal flair to items like manis blades from various corps and gangs. Cross-platform modding support has also been introduced, which is particularly significant for console players. This modification feature will enable players to further customize their experience, regardless of their console preference. The update also includes other improvements and additions, all of which are detailed in the full patch notes.
