CP2077 Exotics: Bovid (1/5)

CyberPunk 2077 Exotics Concept: Bull/Heavy Bio-Sculpts

First of all, I wasn't planning on posting any of these until I finished a series of gush-piece/time-lapse vids I wanted to do on Mike Pondsmith's TTRPGs, I still would like to at some point but I still have to scrub through like 30+ hrs of footage, to which I am only going to add more to once I get another set of pieces started and recorded. Until then, have some mediocre cyborg furries.

Now I don't have any of the TTRPG books or GNs -yet, but I did stuff all these sheets with actual cyberware from CP2077. Is it balanced for gameplay? Fork if I know. Probably not being as I also added a bunch of homebrew, Bio-Sculpt specific cyberware that I thought would make sense for the setting and use cases.

I also know about the furry mod for CP2077, I've actually done a few plays with it. Sadly, though, it only has a few flavors of either canine or feline playable sculpts (wolf/fox, leopard/tiger) and a rhino npc, and that's by no means a diss on the creator of the mod who did a butt-ton phenomenal work to achieve what the mod does have, I just see so, so much potential for forking. Cyberpunk. FURRIES. It would be so fucking awesome to have Exotics in the videogame with actual mechanics and functioning systems. I have no experience in game dev but I catch myself yearning for the day the CP2077 redkit drops (if ever) because I would love to see the full potential of Exotics introduced. If not by CDPR, then by dedicated fans.

So, onto my little contribution to the furrification of CP2077: first on my list is the Bovid Bio-Sculpt. In addition to a slough of potential in-game hardware that a Bovid might use, I've added such things as kinetic padding for the cranium, reinforced vertebrae, charge assist boosters, and tungsten horns. And these could all be in different states of usability depending on what variant of Bovid the user is:

-Maelstrom Minotaurs with IR and night-vision implants that can see through cover as well as knock it down, -Valentino Toros with additional lunge distance, -Corpo Stags with holographic antlers (I see you 'Magnum Bullets', sneaking in like that.)!

I could go on but I have four more of these I want to drop so I'll move on.

As an aside, I even came up with a piece of Exotic hardware that I call the 'Installation and Incorporation of Traits microChip', or the 'Inst.IncT Chip' for short. It'd be the sub-processor that helps a user adapt to and use non-native components like tails, wings, and grafted, semi-organic hides or pelts, and to keep the user's nervous system from overloading. In-game this could be the way Exotic cyberware is leveled and unlocks abilities with progression, like how the Relic's skill tree work in Phantom Liberty.

Anyway, on to the next nerdgasm!

CP2077 Exotics: Canid (2/5)

CyberPunk 2077 Exotics Concept: Wolf/Dog Bio-Sculpts

I know this is just a generic dog/wolf (but cyborg!), but like the Bovid shows us there can be so much opportunity for some really awesome variants:

-NCPD LTs as full-on Dobermans as a PR effort to relate them to the 'Safe and Sound' adverts, -Bouncers at the 'Heavy Hearts' club as actual Jackals, -Maelstrom Hell Hounds that can actually set themselves on fire through their 'Hades Heat-Vents', -Bargast Enforcers being real dog-soldiers,

Not to mention the "stock" hardware that one might have on a Canid Sculpt like I suggest on this sheet: Reinforced jaw muscles for a devastating bite, Titanium teeth and claws that can tear into cyberware, an Aero-chem spectrometer in the muzzle's nasal cavity to smell explosives in the area and track down marks, and audio boosters that can hear the microscopic whine of a hidden attacker's cyberware.

That's just dog-gone nifty if you ask me…

Ok, I'll see myself out and move on to the next one…

CP2077 Exotics: Corvid (3/5)

CyberPunk 2077 Exotics Concept: Crow/Avian Bio-Sculpts

This one (and the next. Shhh, no spoilers) were fun just for the wings. I play an Air-Dash/Kerenzekov build, and I just love anything that would give me more air-time to pop off headshots from well above any cover. Like the boots you can get from Rogue that have retro-thrusters that negate almost any fall damage, hence my incorporation of them into this Sculpt's feet.

But again, there are so many fun variants to this type of build:

-Nomad ThunderBirds that have electrified weapons and rain down lead and EMPs from the sky, -VDB Harpies that can dish out paralysis, signal jamming, and sonic shocks from the rooftops like it's Mardi-fuckin'-gras, -Valentino Aguilas dive-bombing and smashing you to the pavement,

Definitely a Sculpt that'd be preferred by snipers and netrunners that want a quick getaway.

CP2077 Exotics: Dracoid (4/5)

CyberPunk 2077 Exotics Concept: Dragon/Reptile Bio-Sculpts

Of course this is my fav (Keep Calm, and Dragon), this would definitely be my preferred Sculpt. I just love the idea of being able to glide overhead of all the baddies and smoke their asses so bad that Johnny Silverhand is telling me to ease off a bit.

But if giving "Reign of Fire" a whole new meaning isn't your jam, or if you'd rather give another element its fair shake then you might wont to try:

-Tyger Klawz' Lung Wangs that might not have the firepower or hangtime of their winged counterparts but can make up for it in faster reflexes and extended dashes, -Wraith Basilisks that have venom-laced claws a/o mantis blades, -Maelstrom Salamanders that leave walls of fire in their wake, -Corpo Gargoyles that can tank a rocket to the face and drop from the heavens like a meteor,

And of course lets not overlook the muzzle-mounted chem launcher that handles toxic sludge as well as napalm, and the prehensile tail that'd warm a Draco's wounded heart.

CP2077 Exotics: Felid (5/5)

CyberPunk 2077 Exotics Concept: Feline/Cat Bio-Sculpts

And last but not least, the Felid Bio-Sculpt. Icons of stealth and surprise, I can see Sculpts like this being very Cool and Reflex based combatants. And their variants would be just as -if not more- awesome as their stock frames.

-Tyger Klawz that are actual Tigers that are able to jump onto opponents from ten meters away and crack cyberware with their impressive bight-force, -VDB Panthars that can slip from shadow to shadow as easily as they can stab you in the neck, -Maelstrom HellCats that have enough optic power to practically see through walls, -Mox PussyCats with lightning fast reflexes that can weave under any defense to deal fast and devastating attacks,

All these would also most like have things like the near-infrared infused optics for improved night vision, self adjusting gyros that can balance the user on some of the narrowest of ledges and help them get up even faster if they ever get staggered or knocked down.
