Cyberpunk 2077 arrived on Battle.net on Nov. 10 with the free Edgerunners 2 update. PC players have another place to buy the game, while V gets dual-wielding perks, new quests and an in-game mods panel.

CD PROJEKT RED says the base game and Phantom Liberty can be bought separately on Battle.net, or together in the Ultimate Edition. That gives PC players a choice without requiring them to buy the expansion.

The Edgerunners 2 update reached other platforms before Cyberpunk 2077 arrived on Battle.net. CD PROJEKT RED’s patch notes date the Edgerunners 2 update for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and the Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store versions on Mac to Oct. 22. The Mac App Store version was due in the days that followed. The developer calls the update Edgerunners 2, not Mercenaries 2.

In Night City, the Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree lets V dual-wield Power pistols and revolvers. The mods panel lets players browse and install a selection of mods through mod.io. A new quest, Clampdown, unlocks after The Heist and two gigs for Wakako, once V receives a message from her. Two guns are an option now; getting to that quest still takes some work.

What we don’t know

CD PROJEKT RED says more supported mods will arrive over time, but has not given a date for the next additions.

That’s the whole story. Back to the main quest.
