Cyberpunk 2077's Edgerunners 2 update adds two new quests, handgun dual wielding and the ability to pimp your mantis blades

A beefy new Cyberpunk 2077 update arrives tomorrow, October 22nd, fresh on the heels of the second series of the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime which dropped earlier this week. It's dubbed update 2.5 and delivers an Edgerunners 2-themed quest alongside a heap of other additions.

As outlined in the patch's notes, CD Projekt Red and co-devs Virtuos simply aren't capable of delivering a Cyberpunk update that only adds a couple of little things. They either go hard or they go home, so there's a full-blown Edgerunners 2 prequel quest called Clampdown that offers gear from the anime, plus a new radio station featuring tracks from both Edgerunners 1 and 2.

There's also a new quest not linked specifically to the anime. Dubbed Welcome to Paradise, it has you run around learning about Night City's past and lore via projected lectures from the metropolis' founder Richard Night, with some sort of mystery in need of solving along the way. Honestly, as someone who loves just going for a wander or drive around the place when I hop into Cyberpunk, that might be the bit of this patch I'm most excited about.

That's far from it. Taking a new perk called Double Trouble will allow you to dual wield pistols and revolvers. It's a feature that's limited to power handguns, so there'll be no equipping twin katanas or finding a way to graft two assault rifles to your arms. That'd have been a bit too overpowered to live in the game without a tonne of effort on the devs' part to somehow balance the double damage it'd offer, according to CD Projekt Red's Paweł Sasko.
