The world of Cyberpunk 2077 offers players the ability to customize their builds through cyberware, and one particular cyberware called Sandevistan has sparked a new trend in the game. Known as the ‘Sandevistan Drive-By,’ this maneuver has become a social media sensation, showcasing the power of time-dilation and creating a spectacle of drive-by mayhem.
The original video by YouTube user @CrypticCrowX demonstrates the basic task of activating the Sandevistan system upon exiting a vehicle. Cryptic effortlessly wipes out a small group of enemies and then proceeds to grab a van to repeat the trick on another unsuspecting quartet. However, this time, Cryptic returns to the van before the time-dilation effect wears off, adding an extra level of style to the maneuver.
This impressive display of efficiency has not only captivated gamers but has also caught the attention of speedrunners who see the potential for faster completion times. Inspired by Cryptic’s video, others have attempted to replicate the feat with varying degrees of success.
For example, YouTuber @soarnub6015 took a different approach by using a motorcycle for their attempt. While they managed to dismantle the occupants of two vehicles using a burst pistol, they were unable to stick the landing. Time resumed at normal speed just before re-mounting, resulting in a crash against a bridge. This example highlights the fine margins and precise timing required to execute the Sandevistan Drive-By successfully.
Another Reddit user, reaper_7500, showcased their mastery of the Sandevistan Drive-By with melee weapons. In a clip set in Pacifica, reaper leaves their Mackinaw Beast as it barrels across the beach and proceeds to slice and dice their way through a group of enemies. The Beast adds an extra touch of style by catching some air before reaper climbs back in after completing the job.
These clips not only demonstrate the incredible gameplay possibilities in Cyberpunk 2077 but also showcase the game’s vehicles, locations, and the ongoing refinement of player skills. It’s worth noting that all of these clips take place in Pacifica, where fewer cars on the road make it easier to record and share these impressive moments on platforms like TikTok.
While the success rate of the Sandevistan Drive-By may be lower in more crowded areas like the City Center, these videos prove that with skill and timing, players can create exhilarating and stylish moments in Night City.
