Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.02 is officially live on PC and consoles and aims to address a bunch of bugs, while also adding even more performance improvements.
The latest patch to be released is quite a large one and appears to feature various tweaks and fixes across the board, including for quests, as well as some buffs to a selection of weapons - like the Malorian Arms 3516 - following player feedback.
A majority of the patch notes also seem to be focused on Phantom Liberty, with a ton aiming to fix a series of questlines, rebalancing the time limits for Vehicle Contracts, and issues that may appear in the base game after skipping ahead to the expansion.
For instance, it will now be possible to pick up Jackie's guns from the altar in El Coyote Cojo on saves where the option to skip ahead to Phantom Liberty was selected. Additionally, Sasquatch's Hammer should now appear in the vendor's stock at the stadium's black market if the player misses it after her boss fight.
You can check out the full patch notes below.
