Skippy Chatter Forever

ABOUT:

This is a mod in a series of fixes I want to add in the Cyberpunk 2077 1. 61 Version "Edgerunners Update". I liked that version much better than the later versions and changes of the crafting/gear/perk functions of the game. So this is a mod for you people who want Skippy to interact more with you in the game. There is a reason that this version never made out of RnD, it's supposed to be annoying and entertaining. A broken AI!

What This Mod Does

This mod brings Skippy back to life with fully custom chatter — but only when he’s truly equipped, not just chilling somewhere in your backpack like forgotten loot. Every line is original (no ripped dialogue), keeping Skippy’s energy: snark, existential dread, cyberpunk sass, and Night City doom-comedy.

Quest-gate feature that makes Skippy Copy itself to a decoy you hand over to Regina and finish the mission when you passed all the other quest stages in the "Machine Gun" gig. For new play-through this will happen automatically, for older saves BEFORE visiting Regina to return it, you need to un-equip and re-equip the gun before a copy is made. This makes sure that Skippy keeps talking in audio and with my added text messages forever with you as it's new owner. The gun will become a quest-locked item you can't remove.

Core Features

• []Equipped-Only Text Lines

  Skippy only fires lines when he’s in your weapon slot (right or left).[/]

  []Idle vs Combat Personality

  • Idle/exploration: sarcastic diagnostics, cyber-goth depression, toaster-level insults.• Combat: hype-man energy, roast mode, and “are you even trying?” commentary.[/]

  []Smart Timing System

  • Randomized delays between lines (20–60 seconds).• Faster cadence during combat (40% of normal delay).• Adjustable trigger chances so chatter feels organic, not spammy.[/]

  []Auto-Detects All Skippy Variants

  Works with:

  []Items.mq007_skippy[/]

  []Preset_Yukimura_Skippy[/]

  []Preset_Yukimura_Skippy_PostQuest[/]

[]HUD Notifications for Equip/Unequip

Skippy announces when he comes online or goes offline, because of course he does.[/]

[]Hotkeys Included

• Toggle chatter• Force a line (only works when he's equipped — he has boundaries)[/]

[]Safe & Stable

Uses pcall checks for game function calls, avoids crashes on weird CET states, and doesn’t spam the console unless debug mode is on.[/]

Why This Exists

This fix ensures Skippy behaves like a real gun with a big mouth:

If he’s not in your hands, he’s not talking.
