Cyberpunk: Nexus is a fighting Roblox experience with strong focus on PvP combat. Heavily inspired by Cyberpunk 2077, the game takes place in a futuristic city and lets you explore, install upgrades, and combat other players to level up and gain various in-game items and currency.
Developed by danii, Cyberpunk: Nexus is still a work in progress. The game is currently in open play test, so expect this Wiki to expand once the developer releases the full experience!
Features
- Cyberware: Install powerful upgrades on your arms, legs, skeleton, torso, circulatory system, and eyes to get the upper hand in combat!
- Weapons: Overcome hard recoil and get your opponents from distance with ranged weapons or choose melee and engage in exciting parry-based combat up-close and personal!
- Combat: Master blocking, parrying, feints, dodges, and power attacks to go through your opponents like a hot knife through butter!
- Game Modes: Play the regular mode or go on Solo or Co-Op Gigs!
- Cosmetics and Vehicles: Put on a fancy jacket that will make you stand out in the crowd (might not be the best thing for beginners!) and zip around the map in a Cyberpunk-style vehicle!
- Cyberpsychosis: Beware of using your Cyberware too often or when low on HP, or you could contract the disorientating (and potentially lethal) Cyberpsychosis. There’s no cure for this condition other than waiting it out!
Gameplay
The core gameplay of Cyberpunk: Nexus revolves around combat, particularly against other players. Since certain augmentations allow you to close the distance quickly, melee weapons are particularly efficient and popular. That’s why the game has a fully developed parry system that makes battles more exciting and strategy-oriented.
The bulk of your gameplay will consist of PvP battles. Win them to loot valuable items from fallen enemies, but beware of losing your own Cyberware if you die in combat! There are also PvE elements in Cyberpunk: Nexus: You can interact with various NPCs for trade, missions, augmentations, and more.

Beginner’s Guide
The first thing you should do when starting Cyberpunk: Nexus is look for Crates. These spawn randomly on the map and may contain various accessories, weapons, currency, and, most importantly, Cyberware. Open up a few Crates until you get your hands on at least two pieces of Cyberware for different parts of your body.
While looting, pay attention not to go over your carry weight, otherwise you’ll be unable to run. And in early game, running away might be your best option, especially if you encounter other players with high-level gear! Locate a merchant NPC (or wait for the Street Dealer to call you up) and sell all of the excess stuff you’ve looted.
At this point, it would be best to visit Ripperdoc, the NPC that installs Cyberware. Open the dialog with the NPC and see how much Cash and Chips you need to install whatever Cyberware you’ve found so far, then, if needed, go out and loot some more until you gather enough.
Crucially, don’t install only one piece of Cyberware! If you die in combat, you’ll lose the last Cyberware you’ve installed, which means that, if you go out with only one, you’ll respawn having no augmentations at all. On the same note, make sure to install the least valuable Cyberware last—you’ll see which one that is easily, since the installation price scales with the rarity and value of the augmentation.
Once you’re equipped enough to take on some opponents, go out and test your skill. Note that the rarest Cyberware will practically never show up in Crates, so your best bet at getting it will be from PvP. When you feel confident that you can travel the city relatively safely, embark on some quests for EXP and valuable rewards!
