Cyberpunk 2077 mod adds a risk of cyberpsychosis

destructoid.com:

If you’ve ever wanted to experience cyberpsychosis inside the world of Cyberpunk 2077, now there’s a mod for that. A new Cyberpunk 2077 mod adds a new meter that can, potentially, lead to V going cyberpsycho.

A mod developed by NexusMods user djkovrik called “Wannabe Edgerunner” adds a Humanity stat, much like one in the original tabletop Cyberpunk. This stat changes depending on things like installed cyberware, Berserk mode and Sandevistan usage, and kills.

At different thresholds, V will start to experience different effects. Glitches, at first. But then visual glitches, a critical chance debuff, and finally cyberpsychosis. While this gives the player a nice set of buffs, it also insta-spawns the police if you’re in public.

To balance it out, this mod also adds Neuroblockers. You can buy them at Ripperdocs and use them to remove side-effects and freeze Humanity point loss while active.

Cyberpsychosis has been a mechanic dating back to the Cyberpunk tabletop RPGs from Mike Pondsmith and R. Talsorian Games. And it actually ends up being a pretty significant piece of the recent Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime, as a looming threat over the increasingly chromed-out runners.

While Edgerunners features it, CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 took a different route with it. While cyberpsychos are a recurring side-quest the player can complete, the player character V never runs the risk of cyberpsychosis. Granted, V has some larger problems, like the Johnny Silverhand engram stuck in their head. Pondsmith has also publicly discussed how cyberpsychosis affects characters like Edgerunner‘s David and 2077‘s V a bit differently than most.

But if you’re aching to see some really wild cyberpsycho effects for yourself, this mod seems like it
