In an extraordinary gaming feat, one Cyberpunk 2077 enthusiast managed to complete the entire game without installing any cyberware enhancements. What makes this achievement particularly fascinating is that it wasn't a planned challenge - the player stumbled into this ultra-hardcore experience completely by accident, creating one of the most unusual playthroughs the game has ever seen.

The "all-natural" challenge has been gaining popularity among Cyberpunk 2077's dedicated community as it provides extreme difficulty without requiring any modifications. This approach also enables role-playing as a character determined to preserve their humanity, despite the video game version not implementing the tabletop game's mechanics that penalize excessive cyberware use with sanity loss.

While numerous players have intentionally completed Cyberpunk 2077 using the all-natural challenge parameters, there appears to be only one documented case of someone achieving this accidentally. According to Reddit user Anxious_Singer_4823, their younger brother accomplished this remarkable feat without realizing he was undertaking one of the game's most difficult challenges. 'I watched him defeat Adam Smasher and wondered why the battle took so long,' the user explained, noting that the confrontation required six attempts. This curiosity led to examining his brother's character build, revealing he had installed no cyberware except for the mandatory Kiroshi Optics implant received at the game's beginning.

The accidental challenge runner also never allocated any attribute points throughout his entire playthrough. Anxious_Singer_4823 clarified that "he didn't understand how the system worked," leading to this unconventional approach. The complete playthrough took approximately 20 hours, indicating the player primarily focused on the main storyline. This is further evidenced by his final character level of 27, significantly below the game's maximum level cap of 60.

Unknowingly, concentrating on the main narrative made his impromptu challenge slightly more manageable since Adam Smasher's difficulty scales according to the player's level. While the statistical improvements per level aren't dramatic, they become significant for players attempting to defeat the final boss without cyberware enhancements or attribute investments. The specific difficulty setting used remains unclear, though the all-natural challenge represents a substantial accomplishment even on the easiest setting.

This unusual gaming story garnered over 24,000 upvotes on Reddit and reached the front page of the game's largest community in late August 2025, amusing countless Cyberpunk 2077 fans. One community member joked that "his Afterlife beverage would simply be a glass of Diet NiCola," while another commented that he "essentially played Punk 2077." Beyond the humor, this bizarre accomplishment demonstrates the remarkable flexibility of CD Projekt Red's dystopian RPG, which never forces players into specific playstyles and allows for genuinely unconventional approaches, as evidenced by this extraordinary example.
