Cyberpunk will also feature Resistances. For many years now, games have implemented "type damage" to spice up the flavour of encounters and character customization.

So far, Physical, Thermal, Electrical and Chemical resistances are known to be in the game, and it means that once again, there will be far more for us to consider when fighting the enemies of this decrepit world.

Witcher 3 veterans will know of the challenges that may face us in this game, and much like Wild Hunt, we may have to go home and plan our fight with the enemy, first working out their weaknesses and equipping appropriately.

It will also lead to some pretty cool loadouts.

Feel like becoming a lightning king? Tossing your thunderous bolts of pain to your enemy whilst being ultra-resistant to fire? Why not. The playstyles of Cyberpunk will no doubt be plentiful in their differences, and we can’t wait.

If the rumoured multiplayer is to be released, we can imagine shared raids and quests designed around these very mechanics. Problem-solving may become involved and it may be extremely important that your team, its gear, and its resistances are organised effectively!
