The Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 introduced vehicle combat, which allows V to shoot at enemies while driving, is one of the key additions of the update.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a vast variety of stellar vehicles. Update 2.0 introduces a new vehicle combat system that allows players to fire from their vehicles while performing a drive-by in Night City and own weapon-mounted vehicles to go full Mad Max on the streets.

To experience the new vehicle combat feature added in update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077, you must obtain a vehicle to operate. It could be a car, motorbike, or a weapon-mounted vehicle seized from the Arasaka corps.

Vehicle Combat Instructions
You will get on-screen instructions the first time you draw a weapon while driving.

As soon as you are behind the wheel, here’s what you need to do:

  • Press the key next to the Draw Weapon option as you drive around town.
  • It is the mouse scroll wheel for PC players, Y for Xbox, and Triangle for PS5 controllers.
  • Once you have drawn your weapon, on-screen instructions will appear instructing you to press the shoot button to fire the pistol or SMG you have equipped.
  • However, if you are operating a vehicle with weapons mounted on it, you cannot switch between weapons.

The vehicle combat has Lock-On auto aim enabled by default, allowing you to drive seamlessly while shooting at enemies. If you prefer a more manual approach, you can hold the aim button to switch to Manual Aim mode and fire at targets manually.

You will also be able to shoot while riding a motorbike in a drive-by fashion, and the vehicle combat feature will allow you to leap from a vehicle and close in on your enemies with your Katana or cyberware implants for a deadly blow.
