Status Effects are a gameplay element in Cyberpunk 2077.
Overview[]
Sometimes helpful, sometimes not so helpful. Status Effects are positive or negative effects that can help you decide a fight, depending on who you're asking.
Positive Effects are there to help you. Mostly granted by consumables obtained throughout Night City and the Badlands, but can also be applied by various Perks or actions done in apartments.
Negative Effects are there to annoy you, or your target. Ranging from damage dealing effects, or just making life miserable by limiting your capabilities. Negative effects can be applied by Weapons, Quickhacks, Daemons and devices.[1]
Positive Effects (Buffs)[]
Hydration[]
After consuming a refreshing beverage, your max Stamina is increased by 10% and your Stamina Regeneration rate is increased by 50% for 450 seconds. This duration can be increased by up to 50% with the Innovation perk.
Nourishment[]
After consuming a nourishing meal, your max Health is increased by 5% and you regenerate 0.5% Health per second outside of combat for 450 seconds. This duration can be increased by up to 50% with the Innovation perk.
Refreshed[]
After taking a refreshing shower in an apartment, you regenerate Health during combat for 1 hour. If you possess the Regeneration perk, it will instead increase your Health regeneration rate by 20% and your Health regeneration threshold by 20%.
Rested[]
After sleeping in your bed in an apartment, you will earn 20% increased experience for Skills for 1 hour. Sleeping in a bed will forward time, possibly causing you to lose benefits from other buffs as they expire.
Energized[]
After drinking coffee from either the Corpo Plaza Apartment or the Glen Apartment, your maximum stamina is increased by 25% and your stamina regeneration rate is increased by 30%. Effects also last for an hour, before wearing off. You cannot drink from the coffee machine again until leaving the apartment.
