Cheat Engine Overview for Cyberpunk 2077

Cheat Engine is a powerful tool that allows players to modify various aspects of games, including Cyberpunk 2077. For Cyberpunk 2077, specific “cheat tables” (CT files) are often used in conjunction with Cheat Engine to introduce a range of modifications. These tables contain scripts designed to alter in-game data, enabling functionalities like unlimited resources, health, or other player attributes. To begin, you must first download and install Cheat Engine itself. Once Cheat Engine is installed, you can then load the specific Cyberpunk 2077 cheat table.

One such cheat table, created by Zanzer, offers numerous options for modifying your Cyberpunk 2077 experience. This particular table was last updated on October 3, 2023, and has been tested on the Steam version of the game. It is recommended to upgrade to Cheat Engine 7.4 or a newer version for optimal compatibility.

Installing and Using Cheat Tables

To utilize a Cyberpunk 2077 cheat table with Cheat Engine, follow these general steps:

  1. Download Cheat Engine: Ensure you have the latest version of Cheat Engine installed on your system.
  2. Download the Cheat Table: Obtain the Cyberpunk 2077 cheat table (typically a .CT file).
  3. Start Cyberpunk 2077: Launch the game and load into your save.
  4. Attach Cheat Engine: Run Cheat Engine and attach it to the Cyberpunk 2077 game’s executable process.
  5. Load the Table: Load the downloaded cheat table file into Cheat Engine.
  6. Activate Options: Within Cheat Engine, you can then activate various trainer options by checking boxes or setting values (e.g., from 0 to 1).

Some of the modifications available through cheat tables can include: Unlimited Health, Unlimited Stamina, Unlimited RAM, Unlimited Ammo, No Reload, No Recoil, No Detection, and the ability to Remove Breach Time Limit. Additionally, these tables can provide pointers for player progression, such as levels, experience, street cred, skills, points, and attributes, as well as basic inventory pointers and weapon property overrides. A “Craft for Free” option is also common, though it’s advised to disable it when not actively crafting to avoid potential issues.

Cyber Engine Tweaks and Console Commands

Beyond Cheat Engine, another popular tool for modifying Cyberpunk 2077 is Cyber Engine Tweaks. This mod unlocks an in-game console, providing direct access to a wide array of console commands. To install Cyber Engine Tweaks:

  1. Download Cyber Engine Tweaks: Get the latest version from its source (e.g., Nexus Mods).
  2. Extract Files: Extract the contents of the downloaded archive into your Cyberpunk 2077 installation directory (e.g., \steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\).
  3. Launch Game: Start Cyberpunk 2077. Upon loading, the game will prompt you to bind a hotkey to open and close the console/tweaks menu. A common choice for this bind is the ”~” key.
  4. Open Console: After setting your hotkey, open the console in-game.

Once the console is accessible, you can input various commands to manipulate game elements. These commands typically involve copying and pasting lines into the console and pressing enter. It’s important to note that commands must often be executed on foot, as they may not function correctly while in vehicles.

Available Modifications and Risks

Using either Cheat Engine with cheat tables or Cyber Engine Tweaks with console commands allows for extensive modification of your Cyberpunk 2077 game.

With Cyber Engine Tweaks, you can:

  • Add Eddies: Use commands like Game.AddToInventory("Items.money", 500000) to instantly gain money.
  • Acquire Items: Obtain specific items such as Meds (Items.FirstAidWhiffV0, Items.FirstAidWhiffV1, Items.FirstAidWhiffV2, Items.StaminaBooster), weapon attachments and mods (Items.PowerfulFabricEnhancer01, Items.SimpleFabricEnhancer01), crafting materials, crafting recipes, quest items, clothing, cyberware, quick hacks, and various weapons (e.g., M-179 Achilles, M251s Ajax, Ashura, Katana, Lexington, Overture, Unity).
  • Access Exclusive Items: Even GOG Exclusive Items, Amazon Prime, and Twitch Exclusive Items can be added.
  • Manage Shards: Commands are available for various Shards (Shards 1 through 7).

It’s crucial to understand that using these tools carries inherent risks. Modifying game files and memory can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior, game instability, or corruption of save files. Always proceed with caution and consider backing up your save data before implementing significant changes. The use of console commands and cheat tables is generally at your own risk.
