The open world metropolis of Night City consists of six regions the corporate City Centre, immigrant-inhabited Watson, luxurious Westbrook, suburban Heywood, gang-infested Pacifica, and industrial Santo Domingo. The game can be completed without killing anyone, with non-lethal options for weapons and cyberware. Weapon use increases accuracy and reloading speed, which are manifested in character animations. Four types of damage can be inflicted and resisted-Physical, Thermal, EMP, and Chemical. Ranged weapons are equipped to ricochet bullets in a target's direction and slow them down in bullet time. There are three types of ranged weapons, all of which can be customised and modified-Power (standard), Tech (which penetrate walls and enemies), and Smart (with homing bullets). Melee strikes can be dealt with close-combat weapons. V can take cover, aim, run, jump, double jump, and slide. The rarity of any given equipment is shown by a coloured tier system. V must consult a 'ripperdoc' to upgrade and purchase cyberware implants black markets offer military-grade abilities. Stat categories-Body, Intelligence, Reflexes, Technical, and Cool-are influenced by the character classes that players assume, which are NetRunner ( hacking), Techie (machinery), and Solo (combat).
