For the uninitiated, Nexus Mods is a site that allows users to upload and download mods for games such as Cyberpunk 2077. It acts as a source for the distribution of original content and is one of the largest gaming modification sites on the web. So, with both Nexus Mods and Cyberpunk 2077 being so popular, it comes as no surprise that the site delivers thousands of mods for the action-role playing game, with the community putting a heavy focus on devising physical character attribute adjustments that forego the tools found in-game. Therefore, if creatives have trouble achieving their vision, these mods prove especially helpful.

Now, Reddit user BLACK--HAND has taken advantage of both mods and Cyberpunk 2077’s vast character creator to masterfully recreate Aloy from a post-apocalypse Colorado to the gritty, neon-riddled world of Night City. Famously the protagonist in both Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel Horizon Forbidden West, BLACK--HAND’s faithful imitation quickly amassed over 2,500 upvotes as many users checked by the reply section to state how “badass” and “amazing” this interpretation of Aloy is.
It’s clear that BLACK-_-HAND has put a substantial amount of effort into making this Cyberpunk 2077 character recreation. After all, inspecting closer finds that the custom character even accurately accentuates Aloy’s faint, sun-kissed freckles that detail the bridge of her nose. On top of this, the character also features Aloy’s iconic pulled-back ginger braids, which is an absolute must for any Aloy recreation, including her cured leather composite outfit that incorporates feathers, linen, and beads.
For those unfamiliar with Guerrilla Games’ beloved protagonist Aloy, she was first introduced to gamers in 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn, and she has even gone on to represent the PlayStation brand as a playable character in prevalent games like Fortnite and Genshin Impact. Her most recent adventure, Horizon Forbidden West, was released exclusively on the PS4 and PS5 to overwhelmingly positive reviews and featured Aloy on a daring quest to restore the terraforming AI GAIA and heal her sickened homeland.
In summary, extraordinary crossover creations like this prove that the Cyberpunk 2077 community is far from creative bankruptcy. Even though it’s been a somewhat rocky two years for the game, there are still many active players who log on to flex their imagination and prove that game’s ever-evolving fashion trends have not stilted in the slightest.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
