Cyberpunk 2077 Fan Recreates Game's MaxTac Armor Perfectly

ign.com:

A Cyberpunk 2077 fan has perfectly recreated armor worn by the game's trauma team, the dystopian, gun-wielding paramedics, down to a working face mask.

Cosplay and prop maker Props It Yourself shared a video of the outfit on their Instagram, below, showing someone dressed in the full cosplay of a Trauma Team worker. The futuristic mask begins open before it folds in, seals, and activates its lights as the cosplayer walks forward.

Those who've played just a few hours of Cyberpunk 2077 will recognize the Trauma Team outfit as one of the game's opening missions, The Rescue, has them appear. Protagonist V is tasked with saving a kidnapping victim who proves unresponsive, and the Trauma Team, ready to kill any threat to the victim themselves, show up to save her at the end.

Those who remember the part iconic, part infamous E3 2018 Cyberpunk 2077 presentation will also recognize the outfit as this mission debuted there. The Trauma Team cosplay proved particularly popular on the Cyberpunk 2077 Reddit, where it currently has 28,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments. "This is so f**king cool," said one user. "The way I actually gasped when I saw the helmet click together," said another.

Community created content like this is one of the ways fans will be able to interact with Cyberpunk 2077 while they await its sequel, codenamed Orion at developer CD Projekt Red. The studio revealed in May that it no longer had a dedicated Cyberpunk 2077 team as it's now focused on future projects.

That's not to say it won't receive any support in the future, however, as CD Projekt confirmed to IGN that Cyberpunk 2077 will still get the long promised FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR3) support at some point.

Development was wound down after the release of its first and only expansion, Phantom Liberty, in September 2023. It came after the game-changing Update 2.0, which completely revamped Cyberpunk 2077 with features such as a new perk system and improved AI, and was followed by another big update
