Now that Cyberpunk 2077 has been in the player’s hands for a few weeks, progress has been made in two talented but different groups of goofs. Already this week, modders have prepared a mod to change your hairstyle as V is not able to do so after leaving character creation. Let’s see what speedrunners have up to then. Oh, they’re fighting to have sex as soon as possible. Of course they are.
This particular speedrun having sex in Cyberpunk 2077 comes to you using “Tomatoanus”, a speedrunner who has also performed sex sprints in Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas. For Cyberpunk 2077, he has reached an impressive 10 minutes and 27 seconds.
Most of the race is obviously not too steamy. As Tomato explains, there are some cutscenes that cannot be skipped early in the game that take about half the run time. After that, however, he is able to use an error called “fist”. I’m tempted to say that this is exactly what you think it is, but given the context it may not be.
Here you have to witness him scaling a building by using his fists as the little propellers that could.
By quickly switching between a weapon and his fists, he enters a state where punching propels him forward. Why not?
It’s not the only hacky technology shown here. He is also able to take advantage of what is called a “fall injury cancel”, and yes, this is what you think it is. After slipping off a ledge, V avoids falling damage by first landing on a street sign and then slipping to the ground. With these forces combined, Tomato is able to break out of the prologue area where he is meant to be confined. Then he is able to clench his fist faster to a love rod than his feet could carry him naturally, and suggests one of the “JoyToy” sex workers at. 10:27.
Tomatoanus explains that the tricks shown here are what helped Cyberpunk speedrunners take this particular route from two hours of end time last week to his 10 minutes and switch this week. Those are stupid things, for sure, but Tomato’s speedrun videos are pretty neat. He explains how and why each trick quickly but clearly so I always get away and learn a little about the game.
In other Cyberpunk 2077 news, it has been pretty buggy at launch. However, it is not as bad as you can read more about in Graham’s Cyberpunk 2077 review.
