Cyberpunk 2077 players have died 2.6 million times on the beams and platforms of Dog City
There are a lot of things in Cyberpunk 2077 that try to make mincemeat of you, and CD Projekt RED has added even more to Phantom Liberty. Over the past seven months, the studio has been tracking which enemies dealt the most damage to players throughout the expansion, posting the top three killers on the game’s Twitter.
Unsurprisingly, the first and second places belong to two mechanical monsters of Phantom Liberty – Militech Chimera and Militech Cerberus, which claimed the lives of 3 million and 2.9 million players, respectively. They’re both pretty tough boss fights that can blow you away if you’re not prepared, so it makes sense that they took the top spot.
In fact, it’s surprising that Militech Cerberus isn’t in first place, since the part of Phantom Liberty where V fights the mech takes away our weapons and turns Cyberpunk 2077 into a horror game, which fans definitely weren’t ready for. However, things get even weirder when we get to the bronze medal – Phantom Liberty’s third top killer isn’t actually the enemy at all. This is the very carelessness of the players.
According to statistics released by CDPR, more than 2.6 million people have died from falling from the Dog City Stadium “trails” that are traversed during the Dog Eat Dog mission. The mission eventually takes you to a garage that has seen better days, where you have to run along narrow beams, jump over deadly gaps, and crawl across tight platforms to avoid falling.
Many players actually fall to their deaths, whether out of pure curiosity while exploring or simply being absent-minded and not paying attention to where they step/jump. Perhaps it would be more convenient in third-person mode.
