Cyberpunk 2077 Guide

The guide to Cyberpunk 2077 will help you complete this expansive game and reveal all the secrets of Night City. In our guide, you will mainly find a walkthrough of all main and side missions. The walkthrough contains various approaches to the quests as well as their different endings. The world atlas is equally important.

We have dedicated pages to topics such as creating a new character, combat, exploration, character development, hacking, crafting, using implants, stealth, driving vehicles, romance, or increasing reputation. The guide also has a FAQ section with answers to frequently asked questions - you will learn, e.g. whether it is possible to complete the game without killing anyone, is the Cyberware mandatory, how to develop the character faster, how to earn credits in an easier way, and how to defeat the most difficult bosses.

Cyberpunk 2077: Quick beginner's guide

Below you will find a number of tips and tricks for players who are starting their adventure with Cyberpunk 2077. We explain some important topics and remind you about the most crucial game mechanics. More tips can be found on a separate page Tips and tricks.

1. The choice of V's life path is not very important. The most important change is a different beginning – you will start in a different place on the map, your character will have a different past and there will be unique activities to do in the prologue. After completing the life path mission, the next quests are the same for all origins. There are only a few instances where you can choose special dialogue options related to your past.
2. There are no fixed character classes in the game. This is a great convenience in creating a character who can utilize one or a few of your favorite play styles. You can still play as a character specialized in one field. However, it is also possible to play with an unusual or versatile build.
3. Use the scanner available thanks to V's optic cyberware as often as possible. It does not consume energy or any other resources. The scanner will be useful for finding loot and interactive objects. You also use it for hacking – it locates devices or opponents.
4. You can do many quests in various ways. You can, for example, fight enemies, sneak around, avoid confrontation by talking things out, or hack into security systems. Saving the game frequently can help you make the right decisions (especially when you have to make important choices).
5. Use different classes of weapons. V can carry three different weapons (including blades) – try to equip different types. This will help you to be prepared for different situations (e.g. fighting at a close distance, killing enemies using a weapon with a silencer, ranged combat) and make you worry less about running out of ammo.
6. Save credits to buy new implants from a ripperdoc. Buying implants should be your priority in the first hours of the game. Thanks to them you can, e.g. equip V with mantis blades, increase your carrying limit, extend your health bar or unlock slow motion.
7. Use the mini-map and the Night City map. On the mini-map, you can see icons depicting loot and opponents, as well as the path to the current mission objective. On the world map, you can check things like markers for the stores or new quests and gigs.
8. In addition to the character experience level, you can also develop your reputation and skills. As for reputation, you can gain XP by helping residents of Night City and police officers. You can gain XP points for skills by performing related activities (e.g. attacking enemies with assault rifles to level up the Rifles skill tree).

1. Film Grain: off;
2. Chromatic aberration: off;
3. Depth of field: off;
