Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

Anyone happen to know where I can get a good katana? Not too far into the game as of yet - just "met" Johnny Silverhand - but I'm alright with spoilers if needed.

There's a side job in Watson, Little China called Big in Japan. The reward for the mission is Rare/Iconic light blue katana called Scalpel.

The "best" one is in the Heist mission you just did. The rooftop above has Saburo's katana in the car. Yorinobu's pistol was in the nightstand and his unique apparel if you care about it on the second floor iirc.

Yeah, I found that out right after I completed the mission; didn't have any auto-saves for it, either. So, that's just great.

Fortunately, I was planning on creating a second character to try out some builds with; here's just hoping I remember to grab it this time.

Also, another quick question for everyone: for the beginning mission, did you guys side with Militech, Maelstrom, or did you remain neutral? Which do you think is the best option?

There are a few unique rewards from following specific paths, so you might want Maelstrom up or down for that reason. For myself, my first playthrough, I'd just finished the quest with the Buddhist monk, and I was leaning into my Corpo background (specifically as an Arasaka corpo who'd deluded himself into thinking there was a path back into grace for him) so I was quite happy to both gun down every eyeless freak and to cheerfully pocket the poisoned bribe money as a bonus for myself and my bro Jackie.

I think that unless you're targeting one of the specific effects of the paths, or if you care about the (very few) interactions you can get down the line from doing a thing or not doing that thing in that mission, you can just go with what fits your V and not really screw yourself over that badly.

The first time after getting the bugged chip I sided with Malestrom. On a second playthrough now and took the chip and offed malestrom. gimmie those sweet eddies.

One last question, for now; do you guys think hacking or combat is the better option? Like, which side gives better rewards; hacking your way through the area, or going in and killing everything?

Killing everything because I wanna feel like Robocop or terminator. Most of the time I take the no kill optic implant but other than that I just shred through everyone with shotguns and light machine guns

My first playthrough was a mix of silent and hacking but it didn't feel like the game was build around that play style. If I ever replay it (once they release the patch that comes with the DLC) then it will be all about making noise and killing everything.

Hacking was ridiculously overtuned, to the point it got nerfed in a patch so now you need a specific Implant to be able to be able toStealth Hack without everyone knowing where you are after a single hack, but once you get rolling with it it basically turns 99% of combat into a point and click adventure game.

The only real difference between the two playstyles is that you'll need to put points into unlocking the ability to craft Upgraded hacks.

Hacking is cool and so is putting the fear of god into your enemies by only spamming grenades especially if you combine the two.
 
My prediction is that the core of the game will be largely unchanged. It will still be a number go up looter shooter where every other gun fight is followed by a trip to the nearest hotdog stand to sell off a police armory's worth of guns so you can repeat the spot. The core gameplay loop will be punctuated by heavily railroaded story sequences where the only roleplaying options available are bits of flavor text here and there. The expansion will merely be an extra layer of polish and refinement to this formula.

I'm still going to play it and I'm sure it will be an okay experience, but I can't see my lukewarm opinion of this game changing radically.

Anyway, I'm torn whether I want to remake my dickass sword slinging corpo, or go with my Rich Piana-inspired "leave humanity behind" brawler build concept. Maybe the latter, since cyberpsychosis is actually a thing now.
 
I found all the fast data terms but of course the achievement doesn't unlock. Does anyone have a solution?
Google the solution for the latest update
Cuz CDPR have made changes to their location a couple of times

replayed the game multiple times with multiple methods n playstyles
N honestly if you want to get rewards the easiest way possible is to just play corpo n sweet talk your way to completing the mission and if u want the easiest eddies just pick the dialogue being a corpo cuck.
 
Should I help Brink in the beginning Maelstrom mission? Because I know helping him out makes a later mission a lot easier, but... I kinda want to kill the entire Maelstrom gang. I'm already going to be giving Royce the Militech chip; think I should go all the way?

You mean Brick? If you want an absolutely ridiculous weapon you make the deal and walk away. You pass up Royce's Chaos but get Dum Dum's shotgun revolver with even more gibs later on.
