Cyberpunk 2077 and the Meaning of Its Deadly Dildos

Push past the beaded entryway of room six at the No-Tell Motel in Cyberpunk 2077, and there she is: a statuesque, blondish woman perched on the edge of an animal-print-covered bed. "Bet you didn't expect to see me here," she says. After the blockbuster video game's main character, V, has sex with her, the reward lays on the bed. It's the same dildo from before, only now transformed into a melee weapon. The dildo "may not be lethal," according to its profile in the weapons inventory, but "it's perfect for when someone is just asking to get fucked."
