In over 40 hours played....never an acid rain storm and one normal rain storm at dusk. Im also curious on the algorithms used to trigger storms of any variation.
Nope, it rains for me randomly more or less, beautiful graphics when it's raining though, the work CDPR have done on Red Engine is amazing
I wish it would rain more because of how atmospheric it makes the world. It feels more cyberpunk to me when its dreary and pouring with rain
What???? I only saw sunny and nighty in 30hrs gameplay.. except cutscenes
It's Always Sunny In Night City would sum up my experience pretty well. Looking forward to the rain.
I was travelling through the badlands trying to look for stuff to do and got caught in a dustbowl (which does not damage or slow you, oddly enough). I've also had it start raining lightly in the city on several occasions. Those are the only two dynamic weather effects I've seen in my 120 hours, though.
I think you're on to something. After I took a mission during mid day I could hear light rain. Didn't notice much of a visual difference, thought of your post and decided to turn off the Grain filter - yep, tiny drops were visible.
Also a friend who's ahead in the story (Act 2 after a few main missions AFAIK) reported that he suddenly started seeing some weather changes. Will push my main story to see if that has any impact or he lucked out.
Rain doesn't seem super common but I have had it running around the city just doing blue missions that pop up. My one issue with the rain is that when you go under a bridge, in order to not have it not rain under the the bridge (I would imagine), the sun will essentially come out as you pass under a bridge then it goes back to raining as exit from underneath the bridge. I wonder if fast travel resets a rain cycle or something, I haven't used fast travel at all because I would stop and do blue missions along the way.
I keep hearing the argument "After all it's in California"...
But the streets are wet almost every night.
Something's wrong confirmed.
Yes there is dynamic weather because I've just witnessed it on Xbox Series X.
I completed the quest where you end up in Judys and when you get outside its raining. I drove around for a bit marvelling at the rain then saved the game.
When I loaded it back in the rain has disappeared which was weird, but anyway I went back to V's apartment. I checked the weather on the little dials and it said cloudy for a few days. I put him to sleep twice. When I woke up it was raining again.
I went outside, grabbed my car and went on a drive across town. The rain lasted for 10 minutes with some fog. Then it started to ease off and gave way to sunshine, but it was still wet. It was nicely done all in all, loads of puddles left over in the sun.
Im not sure if a mission triggers the dynamic weather. i know that in some games that is the case, and before i hit that Judy mission with Evelyn it hadn't rained except in the prologue with jackie.

Yes some quests does like "Gimme Danger" with Goro. It's always Sunny when you're on the roof (for the view/dialogs with Goro), but after it always rainning.
95/100 awesome points. If you had shortened the headline a bit the jackpot would be for you :>
