There is excitement in the air for Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Project Orion. That statement would have come as a surprise if delivered so close to the game's incredibly rough launch, but the franchise has made quite a comeback since then. This is partly due to Update 2.0's much-needed gameplay overhauls and the release of the critically acclaimed Phantom Liberty story DLC. However, before Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty came out last year, Cyberpunk 2077 A lot of good for Netflix was able to reclaim the goodwill Cyberpunk: The Edgerunners Anime.


Created in collaboration between CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger, Cyberpunk: The Edgerunners Young Mercenary follows David Martinez as he navigates life Cyberpunk 2077Night City. Edgerunners fulfilled his promise CyberpunkCD Projekt Red later made the setting better than the game in many ways by using the anime as inspiration for several system changes in Update 2.0. With Project Orion still in the early stages of development, CD Projekt Red has the opportunity to incorporate aspects that fans like. Edgerunners At ground level instead of the post-launch patch. A special element that can add both bombastic gameplay and effective player decision-making is the Sandevistan OS.

A mechanic added to Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC needs to make its way into the next entry in the series.

Sandevistan's importance to the cyberpunk franchise

Sandevistan is a piece of military grade cyberware that David finds and implants in his body at the beginning of the show. This heightens David's senses and improves his reaction time, allowing him to – from his point of view – time slow down. David uses this cyberware to outwit his enemies and take them down before they can process what's going on. Sandevistan is an incredibly powerful piece of technology, but its use comes at a cost. Triggering the status effect of Sandevistan has a serious effect on the user's mind and body. Although David has a high tolerance for cyberware, his dependence on Sandevistan pushes him closer and closer to developing cyber psychosis with each use.


Sandevistan's presence at Cyberpunk 2077

Sandevistan is also present in the game, and was a highlight of many later builds Cyberpunk 2077 Update to 2.0. Like David, players can implant V with a version of Sandestavan and gain the ability to slow down driving or combat. While fun to use, Cyberpunk 2077of Sandevistan is still less than depicted Cyberpunk: The Edgerunners.

Bringing Sandevistan to Project Orion

The Sandevistan project should return to Orion, and if it does, it should be very close to how it worked Edgerunners than did in Cyberpunk 2077. If the right benefits and connected with cyberware, in Sandevistan users 2077 Often can be incredibly powerful in combat – although not nearly as powerful as a custom Cyberdeck OS build. That said, Sandevistan doesn't always give players the real power fantasy they expect when they watch it. Edgerunners. Cyberware's short timer and slow recharge rate are especially noticeable early in the game. Although this is done to balance out the useful time dilation effect, CD Projekt Red can remove these rails and make its next game much more interesting.


CD Projekt Red needs to add more depth to all of their cyberware, but Sandevistan is the biggest contender for improvement. Especially after success EdgerunnersMany players would like to see expansion in Sandevistan. There are many ways to make it feel as powerful as it looks in the anime. The developers could have gone with removing the time limit and recharge rate entirely, as they already have a great way to balance Sandevistan's use in the game's lore: Cyberpsychosis.

Balancing the upgraded Sandevistan in Project Orion

Added Cyber ​​Psychosis Cyberpunk 2077 In update 2.0, however, it actually enforces a cyberware limit and applies debuffs if players exceed it. If Project Orion brings back the cyberpsychosis system for Sandestistan and makes it closer to how it works. Edgerunners — adding effects like bleeding at the start and some form of insanity if players push themselves too hard — would be a much more interesting way to balance Sandevistan than a simple countdown. Players could then live the true David Martinez experience: insane power at the risk of true insanity.


Sandevistan variants in Project Orion

Variants are another way Project Orion could expand into Sandeistan. Edgerunners Two different versions of Sandevistan were shown: David's and one by Adam Smasher. Both have different functions and power ceilings. While there are different types of Sandevistans to choose from Cyberpunk 2077The differences they offer often come in the form of incremental stat boosts. Taking the Sandevistan variations to the next level in Project Orion provides a way to vary playthroughs — especially how many people currently play Sandevistan builds — and delve more into the lore behind the corporations that craft each one.
