Summary
Night City is a truly dangerous place, and recently released statistics have revealed some of the most dangerous encounters inCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. The baseCyberpunk 2077took players to Night City, a gritty futuristic dystopia where crime and corruption rule on every corner. AsCyberpunk 2077protagonist V, players struggle to survive in this rough environment while making a name for themselves among the legends of Night City - even with dangerous enemies like the infamous Adam Smasher gunning for them at every turn.
Last year, CD Projekt Red finally releasedCyberpunk 2077’s first and only major story expansion inPhantom Liberty, which takes V to Dogtown to follow a lead on a potential cure for the AI slowly taking over their mind. From the start, it’s clear that this new setting is no walk in the park, as Dogtown wasonce referred to as simply “the Combat Zone”and is actively ignored by the already unscrupulous law enforcement of Night City. This means that Dogtown is crawling with enemies looking to take V down, but the most dangerous force inPhantom Libertymight not be a criminal or paramilitary unit.
Developer CDPR recently shared some stats aboutCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyon the game’s official Twitter account, revealing the deadliest encounters in the game. The highest body count comes from theCyberpunk 2077boss battleagainst the Militech Chimera 0005-C M combat mech, which has claimed the virtual lives of over 3,000,000 players since the DLC launched last September. In second place is the Militech Cerberus MK-II robot, which killed over 2,900,000 players during its boss encounter. However, the third most common cause of death inPhantom Libertyisn’t from a boss fight at all, but rather the catwalks in the derelict garages under Dogtown Stadium.
Over 2 Million Players Fall off the Catwalks in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
According to CDPR’s statistics, over2,600,000 players have lost their footing and fell to their deathswhile navigating these catwalks, whichlead to Dogtown’s main entrance. This means that most players have died at least once before even entering Dogtown, something that many Twitter users have joked about in the comments section. Others recall the troubles they had in battling the Cerberus MK-II, with some even claiming that the maintenance robot is even more difficult to take down than Adam Smasher.
Dogtown really does live up toits reputation inCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyif these stats are to go by, as many players couldn’t even make it into the town proper without slipping and falling to their untimely demise on the catwalks leading into its entrance. Once these players finally made their way past said catwalks, powerful Militech machines like the Chimera 0005-C M and Cerberus MK-II robot ensure that their stay in Dogtown is a short one, making V all the more of a legend when they do finally take them down.
