In a game likeCyberpunk 2077, what’s weird might be wholesome instead. Truth be told, it’s hard to find any remaining social outliers in Night City if the norm is a culture of excess. Surprisingly enough, some players still managed to squeeze in some bizarre modifications of their own.

Their modsare far from the usual performance enhancements. While everyone else was busy improving the game in its messy state, other modders were putting their own odd and exciting touches to it. The result isCyberpunk 2077becoming even more outlandish, just when you thought it couldn’t get any more broken.
Updated Jul 10, 2025 by Sid Natividad:Cyberpunk Edgerunners was a huge hit and to cope with that depressing ending or to maybe appreciate the show better, modders have flocked to Cyberpunk 2077 to “improve” the game. As such, Cyberpunk 2077’s modding scene is very much alive and kicking.
Not all mods are the usual offering of improvements or reference inserts, however. Some are downright bizarre additions to the game that either make Night City even more dysfunctional or allow players to view the game from an entirely different perspective. These additional mods ought to reinforce Night City’s weirdness even more.
12JB - TPP MOD WIP third person
Cyberpunk 2077was never meant to have a third-person view due to how clunky the first-person movements are (one can see this in V’s self-shadows in-game). That’s why even the modder implementation for a third-person view remains quite odd these days. There’s something off about it. Players can check this out via theJB - TPP MOD WIP third person.

Even the mod’s latest version shows V’s first-person animations in a third-person perspective and they lookrather ridiculous and almost alien. It’s clear why the developers didn’t bother with the third-person view as the animations likely would take too much time.
11DOOM Reshade
Ever wanted to improve the Night City atmosphere with aretrofuturistic 1980s atmosphere? Then theDOOM Reshade modforCyberpunk 2077will do that and more. It renders the game in amuch lower pixel countwhere italmost looks 16-bit, thus matching the oldDoomgame’s visuals.
This is a whole new way to playCyberpunk 2077and it can almost feel like something else especially if players just keep focusing on violence. The only thing missing is a1980s synthwaveor electro-pop soundtrack to complete the theme, and it’s a different game from there on.
10Rogue - Forever Young
Just like how there were mods that made Johnny Silverhand significantly cleaner and sober, there’s also a mod that made Rogue Amendiares less of a grandmother. Well, technically, her age makes her a grandmother but supposedly, the in-game references and dialogue make it seem likeRogue still had the appearance of a teenager.

So theRogue - Forever Youngmod set out to fulfill that lore expectation. Still, it feels weird. Because Rogue is supposedly the top dog in the Night City fixer and merc community. Giving her this kind of punk and bratty young appearance doesn’t exactly do her reputation a favor. If anything, she looksa lot less imposingwith this mod.
9Wall Hang
Can’t get enough ofSpider-Man Remastered? Then the modWall HangforCyberpunk 2077sort of makes V a discount wall-crawler in Night City. This modlets V cling to wallsas if they have some kind of weird cybernetic implants that pin them to walls for some kind of obscure advantage.
If anything, it’s more of a cool-factor mod as it doesn’t have much of a gameplay effect. Forget about doing this in front of enemies and expecting a reaction. To them, someone hanging from a wall seems like a regular Tuesday.
8Kiroshi Opticals - Crowd Scanner
TheKiroshi Opticals - Crowd Scannermod brings theWatch Dogsexperience to Night City where players canscan individuals and civilians in order to see their backstory. And no, it’s not just a single sentence summing up their crimes or moral lapses; this mod writesparagraphs of storiesabout the in-game NPCs.
The funny lore implication for that is who writes these stories? Is it V’s cybernetics writing a brief biography judging by the NPC’s looks? In any case, it’s a good way to kill time in Night City, especially if players want to make Humans of New York-style screengrabs.
7Out Of Night City
Speaking of getting tired of some aspects ofCyberpunk 2077, Night City can be a handful sometimes with its constant assault on the senses. All those neon lights are just dizzying, and everyone wants to either kill the players or have coitus with them, sometimes both. Players could leave togo hang out with the Aldecaldos, but those sand storms are brutal.
Thankfully, a mod likeOut of Night Cityexists and takes players, well,out of Night City. That’s it, that’s just what it does. Don’t expect anything outside of Night City, it’s just a barren wasteland. In fact, players might want to go back in after getting bored with it immediately. But hey, it’s good for screengrabs.
6Chrome Female V
Can’t decide how to build your character inCyberpunk 2077?Is Skippy not hitting hard enough? Then maybe let other players decide for you. Some of them have made theshiniest Vavailable, literally. Someone made a mod and save file calledChrome Female V.

Why? Because some of us can’t handle the societal pressure of having flawless skin. What more would V want from Night City whereeverything is superficial? Besides, if players ever wanted some android-looking character for theirBlade Runnerroleplaying, then this mod lets that happen somewhat.
5Cleaned Up Silverhand
While on the topic of changing up some character appearances to reflect their best physical state, Johnny Silverhand is a total wreck of a human being. All those drugs and anger issues made even his digital version look like a semi-hobo.
He didn’t even need to look like that since he was just a program. Silverhand could have easily made himself look like he took adigital bathat the very least. So, theCleaned Up Silverhandmod does just that to poor Johnny boy. The modder also probably just wants amore handsome version of Keanu Reevesfor themselves.
4Ghost Forward
Cyberpunk 2077disappointed a lot of people on release and was so buggy that even some of its weirdest mods still have a hint of practicality with them. In Night City, it can be easy to get stuck in some environmental geometry or certain layouts can prove to be too tedious and players just wish they could skip the traversal.

With a mod calledGhost Forward, that can happen a lot. Itlets players teleport a short distance, and it works for getting behind walls or through some annoying railings. It does make V look like a walking glitch, but the citizens of Night City ought to be used to that by now.
3Disabled Crowd
Fancy a city without its citizens? With one nifty mod, players can achieve that and even skyrocket their computer’s performance withCyberpunk 2077. It’s a mod calledDisabled Crowdand itsacrifices immersionfor a playable experience.
That’s what it has come to, sadly.Cyberpunk 2077is one of the most demanding games on the market right now, so even a tweak as dramatic as this is welcome. On the plus side, it completely changes the atmosphere of the game; it can feel more like a post-apocalyptic romp.
