So, you’ve finally buried V’s story for good, giving our mercenary some much-needed rest. Or have you? Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t have to end after the credits roll. After you complete the game, you can jump back into Night City right before the Point of No Return. But what do you do? Well, even though you’ve seen one of the endings, we’ve got a list of things you can do after beating Cyberpunk 2077.
10. Become the Best Brawler in Cyberpunk 2077
“Beat on the Brat” is not a necessary quest in Cyberpunk 2077, but it’s one of the many things you can finish after beating the game. Perhaps you never returned to the side mission since only one fight is available in Act 1? Or maybe you wanted to be as strong as possible because some of these fights can knock you out in two hits (We’re looking at you, Buck).
No matter the case, it’s fun to dip back into those fights after beating Cyberpunk 2077, proving you’re the best brawler in Night City. Plus, winning them all will guarantee a bout against the professional boxer Razor Hugh. The four fights you must do beforehand are listed below:
- Beat on the Brat: Arroyo
- Beat on the Brat: Kabuki
- Beat on the Brat: Rancho Coronado
- Beat on the Brat: The Glen
If you did the side mission “Send in the Clowns” after finishing the main mission “Transmission,” you can get a fifth fight: “Beat on the Brat: Pacifica,” an optional and explosive brawl.
9. Race to the Finish Line
Do you enjoy the driving mechanics in the game? Well, one of the things you can do after beating Cyberpunk 2077 is race, specifically with the Afterlife bartender Claire Russell. Her questline, “The Beast In Me,” takes V on a series of dangerous and deadly races. It’s all in the name of love and revenge. On V’s end, it’s just an exciting way to play with the driving.
8. Hunt Down Those Tarot Cards in Cyberpunk 2077
Is it a mythical occurrence, or are your neurons misfiring? Well, you’ll never know if you don’t investigate the strange tarot card sightings. So, after beating Cyberpunk 2077, why not search for all the cards? There are 20 cards you can find in relation to “The Fool on the Hill” quest.
With how many there are, it’s no surprise if you don’t finish the mission before beating Cyberpunk 2077. You’ll have plenty of time later on, though. Also, if you collect them all, Misty will give you a dreamcatcher that’ll hang in V’s apartment.
7. Own Every Car and Apartment in Cyberpunk 2077
Want to live a lavish life in Night City? You can once you own everything possible. After beating Cyberpunk 2077, there’s a good chance you have an ample amount of eddies. Well, spend them well by buying all the vehicles and apartments you can.
There are more than a dozen vehicles you can own in the game. V will gain access to more expensive vehicles from fixers with higher street cred.
You’ll also get offers to buy certain apartments around Night City. It’s a nice ending for V after beating Cyberpunk 2077 to relax somewhere new. Below are all the apartments V can own in the game:
Name | Location | Cost |
V’s Apartment | Megabuilding H10, Little China, Watson | Free |
Northside Apartment | Sunset Motel, Northside, Watson | €$5,000 (Free with Intelligence 20) |
Japantown Apartment | Japantown, Westbrook | €$15,000 |
Glen Apartment | The Glen, Heywood | €$40,000 |
Corpo Plaza Apartment | Corpo Plaza, City Center | €$55,000 |
Kress Street Hideout | Dogtown, Pacifica | Finish “Lucretia My Reflection” (Phantom Liberty DLC) |
V’s Penthouse | Little China, Watson | Finish “Lucretia My Reflection” (Phantom Liberty DLC) |
6. Find Legendary and Iconic Gear in Cyberpunk 2077
A Night City Legend deserves top-quality gear. Thankfully, they’re plentiful. You can find Legendary and Iconic outfits, armor, and weapons. They offer solid starting stats, and you can always upgrade them to make them even more potent.
Some you can get not too long after waking up with Johnny in your head (e.g., Lizzie), but others will take some time to get. After beating Cyberpunk 2077, all you have is time. So, why not explore more of the City and discover some cool gear?
5. Finish NCPD Scanner Hustles and Cyberpsycho Gigs
The game has more than 100 NCPD Scanner Hustles. It’s impressive if you finish them before beating the game, but you can do them well enough if you wait until after seeing the ending of Cyberpunk 2077. Most of the time, they won’t show up until you’re near the area. If anything, this encourages you to drive around more in some of those cool vehicles you own.
As for the cyberpsycho gigs, there are far fewer ones in comparison. Even so, they’re not necessary to complete before beating Cyberpunk 2077. Some of these cyberpsycho characters are tough, too. Saving them for the end can make things easier.
4. Explore Every Side Mission in Cyberpunk 2077
When you bring up your map after you complete the game, are you still noticing a lot of yellow icons? Well, you’ve probably focused more on the main missions and maybe the sidequests for your friends or love interests. If so, you have much to catch up on after beating Cyberpunk 2077.
The game isn’t extraordinarily long, but you can add plenty of time by tackling every side or fixer mission. It’s true that they’re primarily repetitive in terms of the overall goal. Arrive at the place, fight a few enemies, rinse and repeat. But there’s no doubt that if you enjoy the combat in Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll appreciate playing around with it more.
3. Play With Different Builds in Cyberpunk 2077
Speaking of handling those side missions, while you’re at it, try out a new build. If you have the eddies, you can always respec V. It’s the perfect opportunity to experiment with different playstyles, especially if you’re planning a new game plus. Thanks to the numerous attributes, perks, and Relic system, you can create a wildly different V each time.
2. Gather Those Trophies/Achievements
If you’re a completionist, the best way to celebrate beating Cyberpunk 2077 is by doing a little trophy hunting. There are more than a dozen up for grabs, with some you can only get if you go through various endings. Some are simple and involve finishing a character’s questline. The game even has some challenging yet fun, ones like killing or incapacitating multiple enemies with a single sniper shot.
1. Replay For Every Ending & Epilogue in Cyberpunk 2077
As we mentioned in the previous section, Cyberpunk 2077 features multiple endings. Another great thing to do after you beat it the first time around is continuing through the end with different choices. Maybe you want to hit up Arasaka with Panam? Or perhaps Rogue and Johnny are the better options?
And we have to think about our epilogues. Are you leaving Night City behind or staying as a living legend? Does V even have a say in this, or is someone else driving the car now? Even the conversations with your allies, friends, and loved ones change during the credits. So, it’s more than worthwhile to check out the different endings and epilogue choices.
