A lot has happened in Cyberpunk 2077 in the year since its, let’s face it, massively botched release. Patch after patch, alongside help from the modding community, have actually managed to turn the game around and it’s now a great way to spend your time. Night City is no longer a massive pain in the rear.
having said that an awful lot of the things we were expecting from the game from the trailers we were shown back in the day got chopped to meet deadlines. One such nicety was the monorail system which was conspicuous by its absence.
With no sign of it officially coming, experienced modders KeanuWheeze and NexusGuy999 have been hard at work, not just adding a cosmetic metro system but a fully functioning one, complete with 19 fully working stations. I guess some folk have more time on their hands than others but this is an amazing achievement and really does add to the whole Night City experience.
The mod is hosted on Nexus Mods – home of the best mods for games since way back when, and while not difficult to get up and running, we will take you through the process to make it so simple you will be whizzing around on trains in next to no time.
How to install Metro Mod in Cyberpunk
The mod is hosted at NexusMods so head off and get it but there are also a couple of minor prerequisites you need to also grab.
- Download and install CET (Version 1.18.1 or newer)
- Download and install the Native Settings UI mod
- Download and extract the Metro mod to your Cyberpunk folder (Find wherever you installed the game to. It will be the the one that contains /r6 and /bin folders)
How to use the Metro Mod in Cyberpunk 2077
With a little help from the mod author’s instructions we can now use the Metro system pretty easily. Ther dev tells us:
Entering a station:
– Go to any of the “Metro: …” fast travel points on the map
– Hitting “Interact” while on the world map will place a pin on the closest station
– Interact with any of the fast travel gates to enter the station
On the station:
– The text at the bottom right of your screen tells you where the currently arriving train will be going
– A map pin will also be placed at the current train’s destination
– The exit door gets marked with a corresponding marker
– To enter the train, walk up to it and interact with it
In the train:
– Leaving the train and switching camera perspective works like with any other vehicle
– While in first-person view use your Next/Previous weapon key (Mouse wheel up / down) or Dpad left, to switch between the seats
Changing settings:
– Use the “Mods” settings menu (Below the vanilla “Settings” menu, requires you to have Native Settings UI installed)
– There you can change things such as Train speed, TPP camera distance, The time trains stay in the station, Price per station, compatibility with UI mods, and more
Cyberpunk Metro mod bugs
So far there has only been one report of a bug causing a game crash while changing perspective. This is unconfirmed as related to the actual mod at this stage, but it will be worth keeping an eye on the mod over the coming days for any bug fixes and updates that the mod author pushes out.
