've still no idea how to get new gigs from fixers once you do all the ones on the map. Been researching it, and the consensus is always: 'drive around, do scanner missions in the area, eventually the fixer will contact you with another batch of gigs." Doesn't seem to be working for me though, despite spending all morning running around the Badlands blowing Militech goons away and clearing away all those blue markers on the map she still gives me no new jobs. Clearly I'm overlooking something. Gigs do not refresh. You will be contacted by a fixer as soon as you enter the area he operates in but afterwards all available Gigs will be seen on the map. You can actually see how many gigs each fixer can give you overall. You are not given all the quests from the fixer - some quests are revealed only after you finished all previous ones. You also must have enough street cred, which shouldn't be a problem if you are this late in game, and you have to wait some ingame time for fixer to call you, try resting for a day or two, this should be enough to activate any mission like that. Gigs refresh??? I was not aware. So they really are just the worst kind of radiant quests... The only radiant quest in the game is stealing cars, which was added with PL. Thanks for the info. I didn't actually continue my game with that outcome, at this point I was just playing variables after I saw every main game ending. So whatever reward I got didn't matter. I stopped playing. Might be something to keep in mind for a possible second playthrough though. Its kind of a miniquest after completing PL, shortly after you get contacted about the robospider core by rogue AI and he makes you proposition you cant refuse which rewards you an SMG or cyberdeck. There is a similar miniquest if you send Songbird to the moon, she sends you a gift.

So, let me get this straight.
I see, lets say, 5 gigs on the map in Heywood for Padre (can't recall exact number, just choosing random figures).
I do all 5, and no more gig icons exist on the map, but Padre says he'll send more my way. The pop up when I hover over his icon on the map now says 5/8 completed.
I must now wait for several days for a call from Padre.
Doesn't seem to be working so far though. Using Padre as an example, I finished all the available gigs absolutely ages ago, before even starting Ghost Town, and since then I've completed all main missions (save for the point of no return) and the DLC. Several days, maybe even weeks must have passed in-game, but I have received no call from Padre and his gig count still says something like 5/8.

So, I suspect that you should have your street cred maxed out at lvl 50 at this point, hmm... Waiting does seem to be the most likely issue. Just toggle resting for 24 hours at you apartment or just in your character menu a couple of times and someone should call you.

I guess I'll try some long-term waiting. Cred's been maxed out for ages, so it can't be that.

Gigs do not refresh, once they're done they're done. The only thing in the game that refreshes are the car capture missions from El Capitan. I've done them all. I've completed Cyberpunk 2077. The only things left to do in my journal/map were the boxing quests which I was useless at, given my stealth/netrunner build. The game has numerous endings along with branching paths leading to those endings. I tried quite a few of them and eventually settled on the Nomad ending as having the best possible outcome. Reed's efforts to cure you (Phantom Liberty) initially seem like the best route forward, and although V is indeed cured the cure comes at a heavy cost, which I found to be a total downer. With all cyberware disabled, all friends moved on, and Viktor's clinic now a corporate franchise I found myself completely alone in Night City, and literally just another face in the crowd, which is precisely how the game ends - the devs further rub your 'total nobody' status in your face by kindly having you beaten up outside the clinic by two goons which you'd have vaporised if you'd med them earlier.
Giving Johnny control and doing it with Rogue was interesting, and giving V one last chance for glory, courtesy of The G-Illusive-Blue-Eyed-Man was a pretty good, and unexpected send-off.
Endings where Johnny is given the body and V ends up as a virtual construct also have a bittersweet feel as the redeemed Johnny redeems his protégé and then rides off into the sunset - on the bus.
Ultimately though I made the Aldecados the 'canon' ending for that character as overall it just felt the most hopeful.
Not seen the Arasaka ending(s) yet, I'll save those for the next playthrough, which I've started immediately, this time as a female, Corpo V. Very, very rare for me to play a videogame twice in succession without taking a break of at least several months - but that's how much Cyberpunk sucked me in.

Very, very rare for me to play a videogame twice in succession without taking a break of at least several months - but that's how much Cyberpunk sucked me in. There is a secret ending where you can storm Arasaka building alone (with Johnny's comments). You have to be on good terms with Johnny and pick right answers during your convo at dumpster where you find his body, you can find guides online. Also, in case you missed it, there is an option to commit suicide. The game has numerous endings along with branching paths leading to those endings. I tried quite a few of them and eventually settled on the Nomad ending as having the best possible outcome. I've argued in this thread before that on one's first playthrough of the game seeing NUSA ending after original endings is a better experience and since you did it the other way around Id like to know your opinion on this.

Air drops in Dog Town and car races also regenerate. As for the gigs, I finished them all before I beat the game. After the last one each fixer will give you a gift and bid you farewell. I assumed story progress along with number of gigs completed is what ones up further gigs.

I assumed story progress along with number of gigs completed is what ones up further gigs Yeah this is something the game doesn't really explain. To get all the gigs you have to do all the ones on the map and then basically wait, in my case it took several days, but eventually they'll start to filter back onto the map until you complete them all. The final reward for doing all the gigs from a specific fixer varies. It's generally a car, a weapon or a piece of Iconic cyberware. I found that gigs, coupled with a handful of NCPD scanners were the surest way of getting enough quick hacks and quick hack components to ensure you have Iconic++ of everything, along with enough crafting components to get all your iconic weapons maxed out. I guess this is less important if you're playing a Sandevistan or Berserk character. Yeah aware of the 'path of least resistance' ending - I chose to ignore that one. Also aware that a secret ending exists, but didn't go out of my way to find out how to get it, not on my first playthrough at least.

That's not a bad idea actually, though I guess it wouldn't work too well (story-wise) if you went for the Johnny/Rogue ending where you choose to allow V to continue. Maybe if you headcanon that V survived the 'final mission' from The Illusive-Blue Eyes-G-man, but Night Corp was unable to cure his problem it might work. I know nothing about the Arasaka endings yet, so possibly it would work with those too? Incidently I felt that the Goro's dickish, petulant final message in the credits summed up is true feelings toward you. I saved him, and found myself trusting him - but clearly all you ever were to him was an expendable means to an end and he was always an Arasaka yes man at heart, nothing more.

I'm expecting it to be bad news. Everything I've encountered pertaining to Arasaka is a power-play, cheat, lie, or manipulation. On an unrelated note, how are Cyberdecks gated? For example I'm now crafting Tier 3 Quickhacks on this character, but cannot yet buy a Tier 3 Cyberdeck. Is it gated by character level, or by talents? Or both? I had an Optical Camo on my first character that I used a great deal - but cannot precisely recall how and when I got it. Google's info on these matters is surprisingly sparse, and much of the info is obsolete, relating to pre-2.0 versions of the game.

Ah so it's purely level gated, not skill gated. Thanks.
I've avoided using the wiki up until now (probably foolishly) as it triggers a warning message from UBlock Origin about it containing something nasty.

I'm still trying to grapple with the engram erasing another person angle. It's unconvincing. To me. If the brain system is 90% cybernetic (I rather suspect V's is. I was bemused when I saw the reboot message when V was at the junkyard after being shot) then overwriting is plausible. I would also say perhaps Suburo Arasaka has perhaps a lot of cybernetic implants keeping him alive after seeing how old he is. So the goal of his project makes sense actually.
Arasaka is already reprogramming hacker memories to run the systems. Suburo wanted to ensure he would live on, hence, the special project for an engram to take over a body.
Maybe I'm missing something but I dislike the overwriting another person angle. The characters are fine, just not this angle which doesn't make sense to me.
Cyberpunk reminds me of an old SF novel in which a person's memories are recorded and the body put on ice. The company then thawed the person as per the schedule they requested; 30, 50, 100 years. The memories are restored and the person went on to live the number of years he pleased before he rinsed and repeated the icing and memory storage. Eventually it came to a point when the body aged, the person then cloned himself and the cycle continued.
Is the ending happy? Not really. It came to a point when the female character couldn't take it any more and chose to die. The male character had by then, after hundreds of years, lost some of his humanity and simply carried on because the cycle had become part of his "program".

I did the "Sun" ending with my stealthy streetkid V. The VR aspect was certainly interesting, though I'm not sure if I fully understand what Mikoshi is, or if I'm supposed to. I was a little surprised that, in this ending, it's Johnny's choice whether to let V have her body back or remain in control - I assumed V would make that call even though Johnny takes over to storm Arasaka along with Rogue. I had him return control to V and got an epilogue where she was living in a nicer apartment and saying her goodbyes to Judy, then embarking on a final job, with the closing frames being her jump into space.
One issue I have in games like this is that I often end up trying to push my character in a more idealistic direction, even if the game isn't the best setup for that or I originally intended otherwise. So while I appreciated that this ending avoided getting any of V's friends killed except Rogue, the notion of V wanting to be a "Night City Legend" isn't one that I found especially relatable, which may be why I found this a little underwhelming. I think I'm going to go back and run through the Star/Aldecaldos ending before I retire this version of V. Hanako's offer does seem a little tempting in that it seems less immediately dangerous, but I gather that V's friends all denounce them as a corporate sellout in that ending?
My estimation of the game has definitely gone up since my initial playthrough way back when. I'm also running on a gaming laptop that's at least six years old, so I might wait until I upgrade to give CP2077 another run - I didn't have many performance issues per se but 2.1 crashes to the desktop a lot more often than 1.6 or whatever PC version I was playing shortly after released. One area where I do still think it falls a little short is that there aren't many areas of Night City where I'm tempted to go "hang out" and look for more stuff to do or people to talk to. I did find it kind of amusing, and I suppose somewhat fitting for Night City, that pressing the button to talk to strangers usually elicited at best an indifferent response and at worst a standoffish or hostile one - almost nobody is actually friendly or talkative.
(And dangit, I want to know what happened to V's cat! I guess we can assume she gave him to somebody else since she knew she wouldn't live too much longer.)

The Star ending is definitely more satisfying, in that V leaves Night City and all its tragedy and chaos behind and sets off with the Aldecaldos and (in my V's case) Judy. As with my initial playthrough, though, I'm left wondering if V has told her friends that she still only has another six months to live. They seem to be talking about it as a new start, which it is, but the fact that it won't last long for V kind of feels like the elephant in the room. And, like the Sun ending, it does get quite a few people killed - three Aldecaldos, as well as any of the corpo troops who are fired upon by the basilisk rather than by V's hacks and non-lethal weapons. I know the corps are the main villains, but I suspect at least some of their guards are just trying to earn a living.
Of course, CP2077 isn't the only game to have mooks who are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I guess the difference between killing the corpo troops and, for example, killing the indoctrinated Cerberus troops in ME3 is that the latter are acting in service to an agenda that could doom the entire galaxy, whereas the attack on Arasaka seems predicated mostly on V's (and Johnny's) well-being. Though I suppose you could also argue that Mikoshi needs to be shut down or at least modified because it's exploiting the constructs and/or Arasaka is a danger with something that powerful.
As for taking Hanako's deal, I just assumed that some sort of trap or double-cross awaited, though I've never actually played it or watched it on YouTube.

I'd been thinking about either Horizon Forbidden West or Dragons Dogma 2, but decided to give them both a bit of bug-squishing breathing room. I had been meaning to get Phantom Liberty, anyway, so picked that up and rolled a male Nomad V who is going to invest heavily in Body, Reflexes and Cool.
The rework this game got is huge...
Got V into the room at Konpeki Plaza. Next up - find the dweller.

The Heist for the Relic went very smoothly... Managed to take out a fair number of the Konpeki security team silently, but missed a damn camera on my sweep and had to take the last half guns blazing. Jackie got zeroed, and Del returned his remains to his family. V got an unwelcome visitor is his head and was then involved in a car accident with an AI cab driver. Not sure I'm totally sold on the rework of abilities/perks yet. My memory of the original way was that it had more freedom, but maybe that's just historical bias. It's not "bad", per se, just feel like I preferred the old way. It's fine. Side note - V takes his clothes off a LOT more than I remember when changing clothing (or is it only when using the new wardrobe function?) and it was moments away from an awkward conversation with my wife

I've been delaying advancing the main story in order buff V a bit - both stats and bank balance - but a question if anyone is reading...
Have the cyber-psycho's been massively boosted in the couple of years since I last played against them? I remember EMP grenade plus Gorilla arms being a reasonably safe and effective "I win" strategy, but the three I've tried have just curb-stomped me every time. I've basically given up until I can get some higher tier chrome.

I usually whittle down them with guns and finish of with non lethal weapons. Its possible that the patch that buffed Adam Smasher also improved some other mini boss fights. Otherwise cyberpsychos have always varied in their strength: some were quite tough, while with others I even managed to sneak from behind and do a stealth takedown.

Have the cyber-psycho's been massively boosted in the couple of years since I last played against them? I remember EMP grenade plus Gorilla arms being a reasonably safe and effective "I win" strategy, but the three I've tried have just curb-stomped me every time. I've basically given up until I can get some higher tier chrome. I believe they were buffed during the same patch that reworked a lot of the boss fights.

I usually whittle down them with guns and finish of with non lethal weapons. Its possible that the patch that buffed Adam Smasher also improved some other mini boss fights. Otherwise cyberpsychos have always varied in their strength: some were quite tough, while with others I even managed to sneak from behind and do a stealth takedown. Yep - bare gorilla - because the cop doesn't like it when you kill them, I go for non-lethal damage. So I usually hit them with an EMP grenade, then a quick hack (or two) followed by punching. It's pretty basic, but other than early in my first run (back when the game released), I don't think it has never not worked for me. On any of them. Could be I'm just out of practice, though.

That would definitely explain the difficulty spike I'm feeling with them. The ones I've tried move faster, hit harder and take more damage (way more) than I remember. Although - it has been a while, I guess.
