Vehicles

Added 4 new vehicles, including several Side Jobs tied to acquiring them:

  • Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru

Reward from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Hunt and The Beast In Me).

An additional side job unlocks the CrystalCoat™ feature for it.

  • Rayfield Caliburn “Mordred”

Earning compensation through a fresh assignment (to achieve, finish The Beast in Me: Badlands, The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo, Transmission, and Search and Destroy).

  • Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa

Earning perks for a fresh part-time gig (to gain access to, buy one Yaiba vehicle, buy a minimum of three vehicles via AUTOFIXER, and finish the case Reported Crime: You Play with Fire…)).

If you fail the side job, the vehicle can later be purchased through AUTOFIXER.

  • Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila

Available for purchase on AUTOFIXER.

  • Introducing AutoDrive! This cutting-edge, autonomous driving feature will take you to your chosen destination (i.e. job objective or placed pin on the map). If you have no set destination, it will take you on a leisurely ride through the streets of Night City. Simply hop in any of your vehicles, make sure you’re on a road, and hold H (PC) / Left Stick (consoles) to activate. This feature is disabled when you enter combat or when your vehicle is heavily damaged.
  • Implemented Cinematic Camera for AutoDrive. Hold Q (PC) / D-Pad Right (consoles) to activate. Sit back and enjoy cinematic views of Night City as you cruise toward your destination.
  • Self-driving Delamain cabs are now available on demand! Simply open the menu to call vehicles, then select “Delamain Cab” from the list to request a ride. This feature unlocks after completing the job Don’t Lose Your Mind (regardless of outcome) and receiving a message from Delamain.
  • Rayfield’s CrystalCoat™ is now available for vehicles from partner brands, including motorcycles. Additionally, the infamous hacker known as Cosmetic_Troll exploited a vulnerability and created a cracked version of Rayfield’s CrystalCoat™ technology for lower-end vehicles. Please note, however, that some models do not support the technology, such as heavily modded nomad vehicles and job-related vehicles.
