Lucy Character Profile
Name: Lucy
Origin: Poland
Lucy turns heads with her mysterious aura and pastel-gradient hair, but her icy attitude keeps most people at arm's length.
Information on her is scarce, meaning her identity and past are largely unknown. In combat, she wields a monowire – a whip-like cybernetic weapon capable of restraining and even dismembering enemies. Agility and hacking skills also serve as formidable parts of her arsenal.
She is a netrunner based in Night City, a metropolis built upon the elusive promise of fame and fortune. While in search of information, she plunged into the Net on a "deep dive", a method of accessing networks used only by the most talented hackers. Then something bizarre happened...
*Items featured in Season 4 will be fully available to players who purchased Season Pass 4.
*This content requires the base game (sold separately) in order to play. In addition, players will be required to download the latest version of the game.
