Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3 Patch Notes

Vehicles

Introduced 4 new vehicles, along with several Side Jobs associated with obtaining them:

• Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru

Acquired from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Hunt and The Beast In Me).

An additional side job unlocks the CrystalCoat™ capability for this vehicle.

• Rayfield Caliburn “Mordred”

Acquired from a new side job (to unlock, finish The Beast in Me: Badlands, The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo, Transmission, and Search and Destroy).

• Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa

Acquired from a new side job (to unlock, purchase 1 Yaiba vehicle, buy at least 3 vehicles through AUTOFIXER, and complete Reported Crime: You Play with Fire…).

If you fail the side job, the vehicle can later be acquired through AUTOFIXER.

• Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila

Available for acquisition on AUTOFIXER.

• Introducing AutoDrive! This state-of-the-art, self-driving feature will take you to your selected destination (e.g., job target or pinned location on the map). If there’s no destination set, it will give you a scenic tour of Night City. Just hop into any of your vehicles, ensure you’re on a road, and hold H (PC) / Left Stick (consoles) to engage. This feature is disabled when entering combat or if your vehicle is severely damaged.

• Rayfield’s CrystalCoat™ is now accessible for vehicles from partner brands, encompassing motorcycles. Furthermore, the notorious hacker known as Cosmetic_Troll exploited a vulnerability and devised a cracked version of Rayfield’s CrystalCoat™ technology for lower-end vehicles. Please be aware, however, that certain models do not support this technology, such as heavily modified nomad vehicles and job-specific vehicles.
