A talented Cyberpunk 2077 player has created their version of the charming Cyberpunk Edgerunners character Rebecca in-game. Cyberpunk 2077 has yet again surged in popularity thanks to its successful Netflix anime Edgerunners and CD Projekt RED's major updates. Although 2077 had a rocky release with a substantial amount of bugs, the RPG title has finally begun to meet player expectations.
It's debatable if any edgerunners officially appear in Cyberpunk 2077, but now Reddit user OrionVTuber has brought the beloved Night City edgerunner Rebecca to life in Cyberpunk 2077, as reported by Game Rant. By utilizing mods and face mesh sculpts in Blender, OrionVTuber has turned the 2077 protagonist V into the quirky member of Maine's crew from the show. The creation also featured some vanilla aspects of Cyberpunk 2077, including David Martinez' jacket, included in 2077 with the Edgerunners Content DLC, and the installable Gorilla Arms upgrade. Fans in the replies were quick to praise the creator, as well as to ask what mods they used to achieve V's new look.
Cyberpunk 2077 Custom Content Elevates The Game
Although OrionVTuber's version of V as Rebecca does not look exactly like the Edgerunners version, it seems to be as close as it can get in Cyberpunk 2077, and it was no easy feat. With completely custom features and some of Cyberpunk 2077's most fashionable clothes, this re-imagined version of Rebecca fits in perfectly. The talented modding community of CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077 is quite large and active, adding its own details and fixes to 2077's initial content such as much cleaner mirrors, complete weapon crafting overhauls, and multiple character details and cosmetics from Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
Content creators can truly elevate video games in brilliant and creative ways, especially when the official content is disappointing for players, as was the case for Cyberpunk 2077 at launch. Although CD Projekt RED has significantly improved Cyberpunk 2077's vanilla content in recent updates, many fans seem to be grateful for Cyberpunk 2077's official modding tool REDmod, which makes creating and adding custom content to Night City much simpler than before. Since 2077 modders differ from those of other PC games due to their common focus on fixing bugs and flaws, a tool such as REDmod is definitely a boon.
Unfortunately, no characters from Cyberpunk's beloved Edgerunners are actually featured in Cyberpunk 2077, but that doesn't stop fans from taking matters into their own hands. With an extensive and talented modding community, official DLCs, and a sizable resurgence in popularity, Cyberpunk 2077 has become the successful title it was meant to be. A new Cyberpunk game may release in the future as well, since the long-awaited Cyberpunk 2077 DLC signals the official end of the game's active development, paving the way for future titles from CDPR.
