In this video i explain what damage mitigation and mitigation chance is in cyberpunk 2077. Evasion has been replaced with mitigation. Integumentary system cyberware is all about survivability, granting lots of armor as well as bonuses to damage resistance, mitigation strength, and mitigation chance.
What is Mitigation in Cyberpunk 2077?
Mitigation chance starts at 0% and increases directly.
Mitigation is a new stat that replaces evasion and reduces incoming damage.
It is governed by 2 stats, similar to crit chance and crit damage. With a few perks and access to cyberware you can crank it up to reduce damage even more than 60%, and. You can see this if you hover over character in the menu > stats >. Mitigation chance is like a second layer of armor, that works with a specific chance.
Cyberpunk 2077 is now the game it was meant to be, making 2025 the perfect time to start fresh and explore night city anew. This is one of the coolest, yet simplest mechanics in cyberpunk 20. Maintaining 100% mitigation chance + 80% mitigation effect is easy. You have mitigation chance and mitigation amount, for example you.

Mitigation strength is what goes together to ensure how strong the mitigation effect.
Mitigation strength determines the percentage by which damage is reduced (50% by default). Pretty self explanatory but what is the the max mitigation and how do you max it out? Mitigation chance and mitigation strength. The stat itself is a % chance.
While they all work together to provide overall toughness, mitigation is the most important. Like if you have a mitigation chance of 20 and strength of 65, then you have a 20% chance to take 65% less. Modifiers are additive with each other. Mitigation reduces the amount of damage taken when you get hit.

Mitigation chance determines how often the player has a chance to reduce incoming damage.
