Many players have been wishing for a transmog system for Cyberpunk 2077 for quite some time, and patch 1.5 might have provided the basis for it.

Cyberpunk 2077 could soon make a big wish of many fans come true. This is because Patch 1.5 may have laid the foundation for a new Transmog system. This means that players will finally be able to dress V in clothes without having to pay attention to the stats. We provide you with all the info on the discovery.

By the way, you can read about how patch 1.5 has affected Cyberpunk 2077 and whether the improvements are enough to upgrade our GlobalESportNews test here:

Why transmog could be coming soon

Why many players miss Transmog

In Cyberpunk 2077, clothing plays an important role. Countless clothes come with different values, which become very important especially on the higher difficulty levels. Because without sufficient armour or certain buffs, you will quickly lose out in the game’s countless confrontations.

Unfortunately, in Cyberpunk 2077 you cannot currently change the appearance of your most valuable and powerful items of clothing. This means that you can’t dress V the way you want if you don’t want to make any gameplay sacrifices. The result of this is often fashionable crimes for which V should really be court-martialled.

Another problem here is that players in Cyberpunk 2077 constantly find new and better loot that replaces previous outfits. So once you have finally found an outfit that you like and at the same time has good stats, it is quickly replaced by your new loot.

For this reason, many players – and GlobalESportNews readers according to our polls – would like to see a transmog system for Cyberpunk 2077, so that they could customise V’s appearance at will without having to make any sacrifices in terms of gameplay.

Will good taste or better values triumph? Cyberpunk 2077 currently has to make do without Transmog.

What exactly does patch 1.5 promise?

Could Cyberpunk 2077 get transmog? At least the discovery of the Reddit user (DJ_Kovrik) gives hope for this. He points out that there is a command in the game’s files that can be used to make used equipment invisible – specifically, clothing for the head and face.

Interestingly, this command is called transmog in the game files. Of course, this is not exactly the function that players would have hoped for in Cyberpunk 2077, but it at least goes in that direction already. The foundation for a real transmog system could have been laid here.

The command is basically switched off, but can be activated by the console command Game.EnableTransmog(). DJ_Kovrik also refers to (his own mod), which allows the command to be applied to all clothing slots.

We want to see transmog too! By the way, a transmog system is also a hot favourite among our wishes for Cyberpunk 2077 in 2022.

 

What does that mean exactly?

It’s quite possible that the extensive patch 1.5 should have brought a transmog system for Cyberpunk 2077. Perhaps the developers simply couldn’t finalise this feature, which is why the remains of the files can now still be found in the game’s code.

With this, we can at least hope that upcoming updates like patch 1.5.1 or patch 1.6 will deliver a proper transmog system. We have asked CD Projekt Red what the chances are for this and will of course let you know as soon as we get an answer.

Patch 1.5 already brought numerous innovations and changes that many fans had wished for Cyberpunk 2077. Like, for example, that the appearance can also be easily adjusted during the game.

What’s next for Cyberpunk 2077

Patch 1.5 has brought Cyberpunk 2077 numerous improvements and even new content. For example, there are (four new apartments) that V can acquire. In addition, a lot has happened with the skill trees and perks, for which we provide you with a detailed overview.
