📋 About This Mod
Ever wanted a reason to visit the beach or go for a night swim? Swimming can now yield a unique buff and a chance for a radiation exposure debuff. Dark Future integration version restores Humanity Loss, created because I wanted an immersive
Adds a Refreshed buff for swimming 15+ seconds in Cyberpunk 2077, granting +10% Skill XP and combat health regen, plus a Radiation Exposure debuff from contaminated water that drains Nerve and removes Rested buffs. Includes a Dark Future integration version restoring 10 Humanity points with no daily cooldown. For players who want immersive nature breaks and alternate Humanity management.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- The Refreshed buff actually matters — +10% Skill XP plus combat health regen makes night swims a legit activity, not just flavor.
- Dark Future integration gives a 10-point Humanity restore with no daily cooldown, a real alternative to dancing or intimacy.
- Small but dedicated following (9 endorsements, 510 downloads) and a recent update in August 2026 means it's still maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Radiation Exposure is punishing — it drains Nerve, cuts Max Stamina and RAM regen, and strips vanilla Rested buffs, so one wrong swim can set you back.
- The radiation lingers in the same water, forcing you to relocate or go home to shower, which breaks up exploration flow.
- The Dark Future version only helps if you already run Dark Future, and it touches Nerve and radiation systems, so conflicts with other Dark Future tweaks or gameplay overhauls are possible.
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who want more reasons to engage with Night City's water and enjoy immersive survival mechanics. Dark Future users looking for a natural Humanity restoration option will get the most out of the integrated version. Skip if you don't want debuffs or prefer combat-focused gameplay — this is about atmosphere and roleplay.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If the Refreshed buff doesn't trigger after 15 seconds, dunk V fully underwater and swim around to clear the condition.
- After getting Radiation Exposure, either head to V's apartment and use the shower to cleanse it or wait for Nerve to recover — but avoid that water body for a while.
- If you install the Dark Future integration version, make sure Dark Future is installed and loaded before this mod so Humanity restore works correctly.
