There’s a lot of scope for customising your character in Cyberpunk 2077.

Dodging is a pretty big part of both melee and ranged combat in Cyberpunk 2077, but by default it is mapped purely to double-tapping one of your movement keys. This isn’t very user-friendly, so it’s a damn good thing people have figured outhow to disable double-tap to dodge in Cyberpunk 2077and bind the action to one dedicated key instead.
It makes a grim sort of sense that in such a dangerous and violent place as Night City, the simple action of putting away your gun is anything but.
