I want to start by saying that I am a huge fan of this game, the following project is an idea of what the cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer can be for me and for many of us. I came up with these ideas while in my bed at night, despite I am a bit disappointed with the issues I have experienced in my walkthrough of the game, I still believe in cyberpunk 2077 and the future of it, I don’t want to see cyberpunk disappear in time like other games.
English is not my mother tongue I apologise for this but I know that English is the best language to express the idea of a multiplayer experience in cyberpunk 2077.
I really love the game!
INTRODUCTION
The main focus of the cyberpunk 2077-multiplyer would be the factions, the players will start the game after the events of the main story, you will create a new multiplayer character from scratch with a name of your election.
Night city will be in a constant conflict between the factions Aldecaldos, the animals, the mox, Maelstrom, Tyger claws, Valentinos, Voddo Boys, Whraits, 6th Street Gang. Some of these might have been dissolved. Each of these factions will have their territory with a specific colour in the map, in the game These factions will fight each other to dominate territory, the players will get to choose one faction to be able to gain reputation, money and specific benefits depending of what faction they joined, players will have the same skill threes from the main game.
If you get tired to fight for factions don’t worry, player will be able to do different activities such as, police officer jobs, hook ups depending on your style level (style will be explained further), go common secure points like night clubs and bars.
Open mic will be available in the game.
REPUTATION, STYLE AND FACTION POINTS
Reputation Points
This will be the most important for players and it will determine their level in the game, players will start with 0 points and will be able to gain reputation by fighting for their faction, doing extra jobs like police officer, hunting players down (this will be explained further).
The benefits for reputation are, accesses to better guns and weapons, accesses to cyber modifications.
Style Points
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the game, as we know their styles in the game kitsch, entropism, neomilitarism and neokitsch.
Players will have points of style, your character will have 0 points in the beginning and you will be able to gain style points depending of the cloths you use, each cloth such as vest, shirts, shoes, boots etc. will give points of style depending of the level of the item.
The benefits of style will be, romance or hookups with NPCs (there will be more hookup options in the map, certain points of style will be need it for each hook up option), reduced fines from the police, reduced item costs depending of what you are buying, access to specific cyberware modsuch as the ones seen on the NPCs of cyberpunk 2077 main game.
Once you gain certain amount of points of style you will be able to choose a main style when you do that you will then be able to use cyberware mods according of your main style
Faction Points
Once the player joins a faction each time he fights for territory and success the player will gain faction and reputation points.
Once you reach the maximum points of faction it will give the player a special faction skill, I can explain these skills in a second post.
SERVER AND FACTION FIGHTS
When you open the game, you will get to pick a server Each server will have a total of 60 players (it can be increased once testing is done).
Once you have joined a faction you will be able to talk with a npc from your faction to do a “territory faction job” The mission will be in a wating room along with 5 players, then you will need to travel with the players to the spot in the map to either defend or attack the zone, while another faction will send their own players to the same spot, (NPCs may play a role)
Players who decided to do a police job will be able to intervene territory fights, it will allow the game to have a balance in the fights in case one of the teams is really bad.
Once the battle is finished players from both teams will get their rewards, reputation, faction points etc. the team who won will gain more points than the team who lost.
(In case you are not good at shooting you can gain reputation points by doing other things).
NIGHT CITY HUNTING
A player who won TFs and kill the most in the server will get a hunting down mark, players will get a Hunt Job to join players form his faction to hunt the high rank player and get reputation points. To avoid an exaggerated number of players hunting the target only players of the most affected faction by the high rank player will be send out to hunt.
THE ROLE OF THE POLICE
Police will be there when players attack randomly people or NPCs, there will be jobs at the police department such as intervene territory fight, hunting a criminal (player who randomly attacked people in the game).
With this job’s players will gain reputation points but not as much as gaining them from faction fights.
When the police intervene a territory fight, a group of 2 police officers will be send out to intervene the spot in dispute.
CARS
There will be no fast travel in the game, you will be able to buy cars and motorcycles with money and certain amount of style points, factions will give you access to certain cars.
THE AUTO AIM GUNS ISSUE
Once players join a faction, they will be able to get an “auto aim blocker” with will make them immune to auto aim weapons for certain time, the skill will have a cooldown (testing needed) so the player shooting will need to swap weapon and the player who uses the skill will need to attack or use his own auto aim weapon.
Anyway, this weapon will be available to high rank players and the police officers, so imagine two police officers in a territory fight with auto aim weapons while two factions fight each other.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This idea is still in development in my mind but I would love to see a cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer like this, I love the game and I have waited since I saw the first trailer, I also played the tabletop cyberpunk 2020 when I was young.
If you guys want a second part of this just let me know I would more than happy make a second part.
