Knowing how to dodge in Cyberpunk 2077 is vitally important. Without dodges, you'll end up tanking more than your share of hits, likely dying more often than you need to. It's particularly valuable in melee combat. Here's how to dodge in Cyberpunk 2077.

How to Dodge in Cyberpunk 2077

Dodging on consoles is as simple as double-tapping circle or B, according to your controller. A successful dodge will open your opponent up to a counterattack, allowing you to launch your offense when they're most vulnerable.

On keyboard, the dodge command is to double press a movement key. This will make you dodge in the direction you press.

Some players have found the dodge command on PC frustrating to use, as quick strafing can lead to accidental dodges. These dodges, done at the wrong time, can aggravate non-player characters and bring the cops down on the player. CD Projekt Red did not include a way to re-bind the dodge command in Cyberpunk 2077.
