The streets of Night City have become even more exhilarating with the arrival of four new vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077's update 2.3. While not as comprehensive as previous updates, this latest addition has breathed fresh life into the game, offering players exciting new options for traversing the dystopian metropolis. The update introduces not just additional side missions and activities, but also four distinctive vehicles that have quickly become the talk of the cyberpunk community.

The New Beasts of Night City

Each vehicle presents its own unique challenge to acquire, ranging from complex quest lines to significant financial investments. What's particularly refreshing about these new additions is the freedom they offer players—you can pursue them in any order you wish, creating your own path through Night City's chrome-plated underbelly. As someone who's spent countless hours exploring every corner of this world, I find these vehicles add a whole new dimension to gameplay that wasn't there before.

Rayfield Caliburn "Mordred" - The Weaponized Beast

The Mordred is perhaps the most thrilling addition to the game's vehicle roster. This heavily armed machine becomes available only after completing several key quests, including "The Beast in Me" racing arc, "Transmission," and "Search and Destroy." The latter two are main missions that most players will naturally encounter during their journey.

After completing these prerequisites, players receive a message from Muamar "El Capitan" Reyes, triggering the "Freedom" quest. This mission takes you to Santo Domingo's Coronado Dam to investigate some bodies, followed by a tense encounter at a construction site in Rancho Coronado.

What makes this acquisition particularly memorable is the dramatic chase sequence. After finding the Skeleton Key beside a laptop, you must pursue the self-driving vehicle, shooting at it repeatedly until it stops.

The adrenaline rush of outrunning NCPD forces while behind the wheel of this powerhouse is unmatched. I still remember my heart pounding as I weaved through traffic, the Mordred's engine roaring beneath me—a moment that perfectly encapsulates what makes Cyberpunk 2077 so immersive.

Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru - The Stolen Gem

The Semimaru shares its initial prerequisite with the Mordred—completion of "The Beast in Me" storyline. Additionally, players must finish "The Hunt," a main mission involving River Ward.

After completing both quests, River texts about a stolen car, initiating the "Motorbreath" quest. This mission directs players to a highway in Watson, where they must intercept the stolen Semimaru.

The chase sequence is exhilarating but challenging—lose the vehicle, and you'll have to wait for River's call to retry. The Semimaru's handling feels remarkably different from other vehicles in the game, with a responsiveness that makes every sharp turn a joy. I've found myself choosing this ride for most of my night-time cruises through Watson's neon-lit streets.

Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa - The Hidden Motorcycle

The Muramasa acquisition is perhaps the most intricate and easily missed of all four vehicles.

To begin this quest chain, players must visit any Autofixer in Night City and purchase at least one Yaiba vehicle along with three cars of any other brand.

Following these purchases, players need to complete a Crime Reported mission called "You Play with Fire" in Charter Hill, Westbrook.

After completing the mission, return to your apartment in the H10 Megabuilding and check your computer's email for a "VIP Invitation - Yaiba" message, which triggers the "Nitro (Youth Energy)" quest.

From the computer's NET section, access the Yaiba Showroom to remotely control a robot. Navigate to the other side of the showroom to purchase the bike for approximately $95,000. After skipping ahead 24 hours, you'll receive instructions to go to Corpo Plaza to finalize the purchase.

The Muramasa's sleek design and unparalleled acceleration make it my personal favorite. There's something deeply satisfying about weaving through traffic on this machine that captures the essence of cyberpunk fantasy. The wind rushing past, the subtle hum of its electric engine—it's a sensory experience unlike any other in Night City.

Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila - The Straightforward Purchase

The Aquila is the most straightforward acquisition of the four new vehicles, requiring only sufficient funds rather than quest completion.

This weaponized truck can be purchased from any Autofixer for approximately $55,000.

Despite its simple acquisition, the Aquila shouldn't be underestimated. Its imposing presence on the road and surprising maneuverability for its size make it an excellent choice for players who prefer a more commanding vehicle. I've found it particularly useful for missions in the Badlands, where its durability really shines.

The Future of Transportation in Night City

As we look toward future updates, I can't help but wonder what other automotive marvels CD Projekt Red might introduce. Perhaps we'll see flying vehicles become more accessible to players, or maybe even submersible options for exploring Night City's waterways? The potential seems limitless, and I'm particularly hopeful for vehicles that further blur the line between transportation and combat, offering new tactical options during missions.

These four new vehicles represent more than just new ways to get around—they embody the evolving nature of Cyberpunk 2077 itself. The game continues to grow and improve, offering players new experiences and challenges more than five years after its initial release. That's a testament to both the developers' commitment and the passionate community that continues to embrace Night City's neon-soaked streets.

For those who haven't returned to the game in a while, these vehicles offer the perfect excuse to jack back in. And for newcomers, they provide even more options for personalizing your journey through one of gaming's most vividly realized worlds. Whether you're outrunning cops in the Mordred or feeling the wind in your hair on the Muramasa, these new rides deliver experiences that are quintessentially Cyberpunk.

So what are you waiting for, chooms? Night City's streets are calling, and now you've got four new ways to answer. 🏍️🚗💨
