Introduction to Unique Vehicles
In Cyberpunk 2077, navigating the sprawling urban landscape of Night City and its surrounding Badlands is made easier and more stylish with a variety of vehicles. While many cars and motorcycles can be purchased, some stand out as “unique” due to their specific acquisition methods, often tied to quests, specific conditions, or being default starting vehicles. Unlike standard purchasable vehicles, these unique rides offer distinct ways to enhance your gameplay experience, whether through story progression or special rewards. This guide details these exclusive vehicles and how you can add them to V’s garage.
The game’s vehicle system has evolved, notably with the 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty expansion, which introduced features like mounted weaponry and enhanced vehicular combat. While you can’t permanently keep every car you “borrow” in Night City, the vehicles listed here are those that become a permanent part of your collection upon meeting their unlock criteria.
