\"Two<\/a><\/p>\n

With the recent news regarding Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2<\/a>, hype for all things Cyberpunk 2077<\/a> has been through the roof.<\/p>\n

First up is Wuthering Waves<\/a>, with the addition of Lucy and Rebbeca as playable characters<\/a>, and now we’re seeing Apex Legends<\/a> get a visit from some Night City residents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This includes Legend and weapon skins, along with Night City itself being a playable map in the Wildcard E-District takeover.<\/p>\n

The Store skins in this event include:<\/p>\n

Sparrow as David Martinez
\nAxle as Lucy
\nRampart as Rebbeca
\nGibraltar as Royce
\nAsh as Lizzy Wizzy
\nLoba as Panam<\/p>\n

Skins for Mirage and Valkyrie can also be obtained via the event reward shop, with Mirage being Kang Tao-themed, and Valkyrie being Arasaka-themed.<\/p>\n

You will also be able to get “preem” new skins for various weapons, including the Wingman, Charge Rifle, Mastiff, L Star, P2020, RE-45, R-301, Kraber, and most importantly, a Skippy skin for the alternator, equipped with talkative AI installed directly onto the weapon.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with skins and map changes, there are also new abilities that are being added, all of which are inspired by Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners:<\/p>\n

Sandevistan: Allows for quick, precise dashes that recharge your shields while letting you delta out of dangerous situations.
\nBlackwall Breach: Lets you phase into the net and then emerge while simultaneously unleashing an EMP that makes short work of enemies’ shields while also placing a tracker on them for a short duration.<\/p>\n

These shiny new pieces of chrome come at a cost, however, with each usage pushing the limit on your cyberware capacity, eventually turning you a “cyberpsycho” if not kept in check, which grants you high movement speed and melee damage, at the expense of weapons, abilities, ordinance, and shields.<\/p>\n

But have no fear, chrome fiends, as the effects of cyberpsycosis can be easily reversed with immunoblocker syringes found throughout the match.<\/p>\n

The Cyberpunk Collection is time-limited and will be available in the game’s Store tab from July 14th to August 18th. Let us know if you’re excited by this crossover by posting a comment below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
