Cyberpunk 2077 modder adds police chases, vehicle combat

pcgamesn.com:

As with many games, Cyberpunk 2077 saw plenty of ideas left on the cutting room floor throughout its development. Wall-running was once included in the game, and plenty have speculated that we could have used the metro at one point as a fast travel system. While CD Projekt Red had also previously confirmed that police chases were dropped due to time and technical limitations, a modder has now brought them back.

Scissors’ Vehicle Combat mod allows you to use your weapons while driving about and tinkers with the police system to create frequent car chases with law enforcements and local gangs. What’s the use of creating a stir if no one is going to tootle along to try and stop you?

The modder explains that there was some functionality in the game’s code to allow the use of weapons while driving, though it was disabled. Thanks to the power of modding, though, that functionality has largely been restored in the mod. You can now equip and use ranged and melee weapons or use an inhaler or injector while driving to give yourself a health boost.

The modder has also overhauled police behaviour. While attacking law enforcement or local enemies leads to more of them spawning on foot behind you, the mod adds the possibility of someone calling for help. You’ll get on-screen information that’ll tell you who is making the call and how far they are through it. What’s especially neat is that you can disrupt the call with sonic shocks, EMPs, memory wipes, or by knocking the enemy over.

Much like Grand Theft Auto, you’ve also got a wanted system that’s reflected through stars. If someone manages to call for backup, you’ll get one star. If you get four of them, though, MaxTac will arrive instead of the respective faction of an area.
