Firing Your Weapon:

After drawing your weapon, on-screen prompts will appear, guiding you to press the fire button, allowing you to discharge the pistol or SMG you have equipped. However, when operating a vehicle equipped with mounted weapons, you won't have the option to switch between different firearms.

Aiming and Shooting:

Vehicle combat incorporates an auto-aim Lock-On feature by default, ensuring you can seamlessly drive while targeting and shooting at your adversaries. For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, holding the aim button will transition you into Manual Aim mode, permitting manual targeting and firing at your chosen targets.

Unleash the Chaos:

Vehicle combat also extends to motorcycles, enabling you to engage in drive-by shootings in classic cinematic style. Moreover, the vehicle combat feature empowers you to leap from your vehicle and confront your foes head-on with your trusty Katana or formidable cyberware implants, delivering a devastating coup de grâce.

With these newfound skills, you're poised to dominate the tumultuous streets of Night City like never before. Embrace the chaos, and make your mark on this sprawling metropolis in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0.
