For new and returning players might be overwhelmed with the game's RPG aspects. They can go anywhere they want, for the most part, fight whoever they desire, and take on a variety of missions that have enemies of a much higher level.

This mod by RMK ensures that unfairly strong opponents aren't an issue. It makes every enemy and boss battle balanced and scaled to the player's level. It has damage-multiplier options, the ability to increase damage dealt by or to the gamer, and more.

4) Enhanced Police

The Star system in the Grand Theft Auto series has always been the standard for law enforcement in gaming. Well, Cyberpunk 2077 didn't take its system from that franchise, and the police can be a bit wonky. They often appear on top of the player, swarming them with no mercy.

The Enhanced Police mod by mandruis7 makes in-game cops act more realistically during car chases and when arriving or appearing at a crime scene.

3) Better Minimap

The minimap in Cyberpunk 2077 famously leaves much to be desired. Made by WillyJL, this entry provides a ton of new features for it that make the minimap a necessary feature rather than something that just simply sits in the corner.

With this mod, gamers can decide whether the minimap should have a border, change its size, make it transparent, zoom in and out of it, or even remove it for more immersion. Players will have no problem finding their objective or navigating Night City with the Better Minimap mod.

2) Metro System

The Metro System mod created by keanuWheeze is massive. It gives Cyberpunk 2077 a physical transit system that players can use to travel across up to 19 different stations throughout Night City.

Just like a real metro system, gamers will have to wait for a train to arrive. They can then take a ride in a third or first-person point of view. This isn't fast travel but the full-fledged addition of public transportation.

A user named yamashi created the Cyber Engine Tweaks mod, and it is hands down the best one for Cyberpunk 2077. This is an all encompassing mod that provides a huge menu for players to fiddle with.

Though the game has received many fixes to make it run better and play better, this mod still has its uses. Players can adjust graphical settings, increase FPS, remove civilians, and vehicles from the game. Moreover, it even helps install and launch other mods made for the title.
