📋 About This Mod

DRAGONBLADE

Bring the iconic Dragonblade of Genji Shimada into the dark future of Night City. This mod is a professional-grade, high-fidelity reinterpretation of the iconic weapon from Overwatch, meticulously crafted to fit the aesthetic and visual standards of Cyberpunk 2077.

  • Lore: a fallen legend. In the neon-drenched ruins of the dark future, even legends can fall. Genji Shimada is gone, but his spirit remains bound to his steel. This Dragonblade is the last relic of the legendary cyber-ninja, now waiting for a new hand to wield its power. By acquiring this blade, V doesn't just hold a weapon; they inherit the legacy of the Shimada clan. Will you let the dragon consume your enemies?

A Labor of Love & Professional Artistry

This project is a true labor of love. As a deep-seated fan of both Overwatch and Cyberpunk 2077, I’ve always dreamed of seeing these two iconic universes collide in a meaningful way. I have poured my passion and dedication into this mod, treating it not just as a fan-made item, but as a tribute to the characters and the world-building that inspire me as an artist.

To honor this vision, I utilized my experience as a professional 3D Character Artist and followed a complete industry-standard pipeline, ensuring this asset meets the visual bar of a AAA title:

  • []Modeling & UVs (Blender): Built entirely from scratch. I performed high-poly sculpting to capture every mechanical nuance, followed by clean low-poly retopology and optimized UV mapping for maximum performance.

    []Texturing (Substance 3D Painter): I authored custom PBR materials and specific emissive masks for the signature green glow. All baked and painted at 4K resolution.

    []Integration & Modding (WolvenKit): For the technical implementation, I used WolvenKit and the latest community plugins to ensure a clean, Standalone integration with a custom TweakDB entry and unique icon.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's standalone, just drop the files into your mod folder and enable it in your mod manager — no extra patches needed.
  • Check the mod page for any required archive XL or TweakXL dependencies, even though the description says standalone — some weapon mods still need them.
  • If you're using other weapon mods, load order shouldn't matter much, but keep this one near the top to avoid conflicts.
