Cyberpunk 2077 Fan Mod Torrent Brings 3D Raindrops and Lightning

A fan-made mod for Cyberpunk 2077 now replaces the game's flat rain with individual 3D raindrops. The mod, called Torrent, was created by a modder who goes by CyanideX, and it is available now on Nexus Mods, a website where players share changes to their games.

A mod is a player-made modification that changes how a game looks or plays. Torrent works alongside the existing game, so players add it themselves. According to Eurogamer, each raindrop has its own size and falling speed.

The rain also behaves more like the real thing. Drops stream toward the windscreen when a car is driving fast, and blustery weather can push them sideways. Light from street lamps, neon signs, and car headlights and taillights catches on the drops. Rain no longer falls through roofs or into buildings.

Streets get extra detail too. Raindrops splash on the ground, heavy rain produces mist in the distance, and cars on wet roads throw up tyre spray.

Torrent also adds lightning. Branching bolts flash and flicker before fading, and in heavier storms the strikes can come in bursts. Players can set how often lightning appears across 10 levels.

For players who want thunder, Torrent pairs with AudioXL, another mod that adds sound. With AudioXL installed, thunder plays after each strike, with the delay matched to how far away the bolt landed.

Torrent includes a Reduce Flashes option. It dims the lightning, swaps the flicker for a single slow glow, and halves the number of strikes. The setting suits anyone who finds flashing lights uncomfortable.

The mod is also built to work with other weather mods. It supports Nova City 2, a separate mod for the game, and adds storm effects for Nova City 2 players. Those include mist that rolls through the streets with the wind.

Torrent is free to download from Nexus Mods as of 15 November 2026.
