⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Install via Vortex or drop the .archive into Cyberpunk 2077/archive/pc/mod; if using the Dark Future version, make sure Dark Future is installed and loaded.
- If the Refreshed buff doesn't trigger after 15 seconds, dunk V fully underwater and move around—don't rush.
- After getting Radiation Exposure, head to V's apartment and use the shower to clear it faster, or wait it out while managing Nerve.
