Unleashing the Potential: Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty Revolutionizes Street Vendors

Highlights

Street vendors in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty carry valuable consumables that permanently buff V's stats, making them more useful than base game vendors.

Vendors in Dogtown, located in Night City, offer a variety of items that grant long-term enhancements to V's stats. These enhancements include improvements to RAM capacity and stamina regeneration rates.

With the inclusion of Phantom Liberty, players gain the opportunity to acquire iconic weapons that were previously missed from Dogtown's arms dealers. Additionally, this expansion raises the level cap, allowing players to earn extra Attribute and Perk points, ultimately leading to a more formidable gaming experience.

Street vendors in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty offer valuable consumables that can permanently enhance the stats of V. This sets them apart from their counterparts in the base game and proves beneficial in overcoming the challenges of the game's campaign.

Apart from Dogtown, vendors in Night City primarily sell insignificant items in Cyberpunk 2077. Food and medicine merchants exemplify this as they mainly stock ineffective healing products that are not worth the effort.

Veteran players transitioning to Phantom Liberty may initially be inclined to avoid Dogtown merchants. However, this would be a mistake. Recently, Reddit user spudral highlighted that all food and medical vendors in the DLC area offer items that provide permanent stat boosts to the player character, V. The community has discovered several of these items, such as the Dendritic Protoplasma Supplier and the Military-Grade Lactic Acid Recyclers, which permanently improve V's RAM recovery and stamina, respectively.

Additionally, there is the Prototype Pseudoembryonic Cell Builder, increasing V's health by three points, and a Tier 4 progression shard that instantly grants 5,000 XP towards the next level-up. Notably, players have found that although all these new items are labeled as Iconic Consumables, they do not need to be consumed. Instead, their buffs are said to activate as soon as they are added to V's inventory. Therefore, Phantom Liberty adds to the list of essential consumables that Cyberpunk 2077 players should always carry.

In addition to permanent stat boosts, Phantom Liberty offers a fantastic feature for collectors of Cyberpunk 2077 weapons. Players can now purchase any missed Iconic armaments from Dogtown arms dealers. Moreover, this expansion raises the level cap from 40 to 50, granting players additional Attribute and Perk points to enhance their power. Reaching the new level cap is highly recommended, as the DLC's story presents V with formidable and resilient enemies. While level scaling keeps the challenge intact, unlocking more combat options at higher levels progressively makes dealing with them easier.

However, players who haven't finished the Pacifica storyline yet but wish to immediately dive into the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion can do so by starting a new game and selecting the "skip ahead to Phantom Liberty" option on the screen that follows. This will grant them a level 20 character and a demanding challenge, particularly on higher difficulty settings.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is available now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
