Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a world full of firearms, but melee combat is also not neglected.
The development studio CD Projekt Red knows a thing or two about melee combat, after all, Witcher Geralt wielded his swords in The Witcher 3. In Cyberpunk 2077, you will also use such weapons.
Melee combat plays a significant role
The katana as a melee weapon. Firearms play a major role in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, yet sometimes fights get personal or you may need to take out an opponent quietly and quickly. This is where the katana comes into play. The melee combat is supposed to feel very intense, especially because the game is played from a first-person perspective. The development team states that they have learned a lot from the fights in The Witcher 3, which they are now applying to Cyberpunk.
Katanas and more. The katana is a weapon that should be familiar to connoisseurs of the Pen & Paper source Cyberpunk 2020. There, the sword is often used and is popular. In addition to the katana, it is also possible to use the so-called “Mantis Blades”. These are blades that you get implanted into your arms and which you can deploy quickly in combat situations. They are also said to assist you in climbing.
Intense battles in Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red wants to ensure that the battles always feel very intense, regardless of whether you use firearms or a melee weapon. Each type of weapon will feel different.
- Power weapons provide a hard-hitting feedback
- Tech weapons have the ability to even penetrate walls
- Smart weapons track the targets
You can expect very exciting and varied battles in the upcoming RPG Cyberpunk 2077. However, the team explicitly mentions that the game is not an ego-shooter, but rather an RPG. Your skill with the mouse will not get you far if you do not wisely improve your character’s skills.
