CD Projekt RED released Cyberpunk 2077 with numerous issues. While many have been ironed out through updates since then, players continue to discover some unexpected occurrences. One Cyberpunk 2077 fan was driving their car through Night City in traffic when they noticed another car spinning wildly out of control in front of them.
Reddit user DoomedSolitude recently posted a clip of their exploration of Night City in which they're driving the V-tech car during a sandstorm. Driving in the proximity of other cars, one on the left side of the freeway begins frantically moving left and right until it starts spinning in a way that a real car would be unable to replicate without rolling. The Cyberpunk 2077 fan captures the moments the vehicle acts so strangely while entering Wellsprings on route to Nocturne OP55N1, an objective in which V must meet Hanaka at a nightclub called Embers.
DoomedSolitude's Cyberpunk2077 clip begins with everything appearing as it should while the player approaches other vehicles in V's iconic car. One vehicle blocks DoomedSolitude, which follows at a slower speed as the spinning car next to it wobbles back and forth until it's violently shaking left and right into the nearby lanes while proceeding forward. Although the car is whipping around at this point, it continues moving through the sandstorm and out of view of the player as another car in its lane catches up.
The spinning Cyberpunk 2077 car is a Makigai MaiMai P126, and it's one of the small vehicles players can purchase or steal as they progress through the futuristic RPG's campaign. The vehicle disappears briefly in the sandstorm, but after the player catches up again, the car comes out of nowhere as some Cyberpunk 2077 vehicles are known to do, moving unpredictably with a plume of smoke billowing out its exhaust. As DoomedSolitude's video concludes, the small car appears to be balancing its trajectory out to stop spinning, but it's currently unclear if it was able to stop effectively.
Several Cyberpunk 2077 fans have responded to DoomedSolitude's video to point out that this car acts strangely around the same point in the game that performance seems to dip, suggesting a correlation between the area of the map and the aforementioned car. DoomedSolitude has suggested that the car just didn't want to let them by, while others speculate that the driver of the car has an insect visitor making them act so frantic. Because CD Projekt RED continues to update Cyberpunk 2077, this issue may be rectified in the near future to prevent similarly unexpected problems.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available now for Google Stadia, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
