All Fixers Ranked Worst to Best in Cyberpunk 2077

[@zumuvtuber]

I love how Mr. Hands went from an underdeveloped and forgettable fixer in the base game to the coolest and most interesting fixer after Phantom Liberty. The expansion did wonders!

[@Aldairion]

Hands was what I imagined to be a top fixer to be like, and PL provided a nearly perfect portrayal. He's so ineffably cool, with just the right amount of intimidation factor. I always *want* to do well with Hands' gigs.

[@englishgiraffe2124]

The moment Adam Smasher was included in the mix, who was described as NC's Boogeyman, V, Jackie, T-Bug, Evelyn, Judy, and Dex should've immediately ditched anything to do with the Heist.

[@FrostReach66]

Except the fact Dex would’ve wiped you anyways, considering how risky this entire heist was in the first place. Arasaka would’ve tracked us eventually and if Dex got rid of us and Jackie, it’ll put them on a possible cold trail and he’s more likely to get out free.

[@halvarmc671]

I mean, if Dex had done his homework beyond just seeing the dollar signs, I doubt the job would have existed. The risk-reward didn't balance out and teeter towards reward. The risk is just monumentally higher than the reward. Plus, you get to live the rest of your life wondering when that Saka ninja is going to kill you.

[@ayylmao4353]

@@bogatyr2473 Well you don't get hunted down after the ordeal with Takemura and that's after everything went to shit. Also the one reason why I think Dex would not have killed you anyway is because T-bug would still be free to leave and you would be expected to walk in with Jackie, the way Dex does backstab you is pretty much a "Plan B". This isn't in his defence at all, he's still a terrible fixer because he has no real leverage or skill, not particularly intelligent and not even at least principled in any way.

@@MisterCynic18 Ehhh personally I felt like it was a little sparse. Like yeah they have some nice moments but you have to admit they fight like a good 70% of the time even after they had an established "Friendship" It kinda felt like they were just going back and forth with each other. The one mission that comes to mind is that one where they were stalking that woman in a pink dress because their husband thought they were cheating. V kept telling Johnny to basically piss off and yeah I get it you’re following someone obviously you'd want your full attention on the person. But at the same time, V could've easily just said one or two lines and played along. This is a very silly one but when after you kill the Cyberpsycho in a High-End Store. He pretends to talk to the Cop and instead of letting Johnny play along(I know this is a choice I'm talking specifically about how this is a choice) V just shuts him down like I don't know what they could've put in this moment but like I feel like we could've just let him also answer the question with us or take his answers as suggestions. So to summarize Yes Johnny has anecdotes and analysis but at the same time they don't really have any friendly chats.

[@4m4n40]

She says V is infamous in the afterlife and nobody wants to work with them. Rogue also says she gives them gigs she thinks they’d be the best at. Plus she’s the wisest fixer so she probably knows to think with her head first and her heart second.

Mr. Hands is a straightforward, honest, businessman. And thats why i like him. He doesnt pretend to be your friend, and he isn't pointlessly hostile. He simply asks you to do a job a certain way, and compensates you if you do. Hell, even if you biff it, he still pays you, as seen in his quest post PL MQ.

[@forehand101]

Dexter is even worse than that, if you mention not feeling good about Parker, he'll respond that he did some digging on her that lead to the Voodoo boys who told him to stop searching? Yeah, that's not suspicious at all when you're tackling an already super ambitious heist. He didn't even dig deeper either and still decided to go ahead with the heist... He's the worst not only for betrayal, but because he sucks at doing his job. It's his own fault the heist failed even with the surprise of Saburo and Yorinobu.

[@reptiloidmitglied2930]

A dialogue option you get as Streetkid-V already hints that something is wrong with the story of Dexter Deshawn the top fixer. The annoying thing is that V still decidedes to continue the job while an involvement of the VDBs should be the final red flag for a person that lived nearly their whole life in NC and knows much about the local crime scene. Even if Saburo wouldn't have appeared that heist was doomed to go wrong.

[@tobiasbayer4866]

​@@reptiloidmitglied2930 To me its even more insanse for V to do it If you have the corpo background. The corpo intro is literally about how V gets offered a job to go against an superior that they feel like they have to do, but it backfires before V even managed to do anything. V should know how Arasaka is, and If even just planning to do smth against some medium sized fish at Arasaka gets foiled instantly, before V can even attempt to do it, how screwed are you when you try to steal smth from Yorinobu Arasaka, who in turn stole it from Saburo Arasaka himself? An experimental tech that is never meant to be released to the public? This shit is so hot that even If they somehow we're able to get it who would actually be dumb enough to buy it from them? Thats like If the pentagon and the white house were one building and you tried to Break in there to steal nuclear launch codes or smth while being some street thug. It makes no sense.

[@tobiasbayer4866]

@@reptiloidmitglied2930 Not just Evelyn. When you talk to Jackie about Dex you get the option to say that fixers are just people that find the biggest, cheapest idiot for a job and then dispose of them afterwards. And when talking to Dex you get the option to say that going against Arasaka is basically suicide. There are so many red flags the more you learn about the job and the only thing anyone ever says is "dont worry we wont get caught lol". Very reassuring... Honestly, the sole point that Adam Smasher is anywhere near that place we are supposed to rob would be enough reason for me to not attempt it.

[@makarabaduk1754]

I find Wakako to be the fixer with the dodgiest morals. The Evelyn choice was straight up awful especially when relatively little digging would have found the connection to Lizzies/Mox and thus Judy. Then there's the conversation with Rogue that you overhear when entering her business. This strongly suggests she is more involved with Tyger Claws' day-to-day activities than she initially appears. In her call after the Olive Branch gig it seems she was well aware of the true nature of the "gift". So as well as helping a Scav do a favour for the Claws, she deliberately mislead V as to the nature of the job. Plus there's her client involved in a messy divorce who murders his wife. As you can encounter her body *before* the gig, it seems to be a scrambled attempt to keep funds out of her estate rather than depriving his ex of undeserved funds.

[@selenagamya1612]

Bear in mind Evelyn was effectively comatose by the time she was handed over to Fingers, and had already been abused by Woodman. Wakako probably assumed Evelyn was just some nameless, braindead Jig-Jig Street joytoy and handed her off to someone she knew would buy her, not having a single clue about any personal connections with V.

[@Supersteam09]

#9 is definitely the worst. Dexter thought it was a good idea to hire noobs to rob Arasaka in the Kempaki Plaza hotel and wipe his hands clean when things went sideways. From what I know, Dexter got his idea from Evelyn who got her idea from the Voodoo Boys. Evelyn planned to betray Dexter and cut him from the profits. I don’t think it was mentioned what Dex was planning to do with the loot. Voodoo Boys wanted it to use it to communicate to Alt Cunningham to get the Voodoo Boys past the black wall. Overall, Voodoo Boys were too cautious and it ended up being their downfall (depending on your choice), Evelyn was a fool to mess around with people you know little about, and Dex was just a child sitting at the grownups table.

"hands down" mr hands is the best fixer in terms of character. But when it comes to gigs, i am all out for dino. All of his jobs are like "get in, steal one thing or kill one guy, get out". The jobs are so easy that you can just use one "distract enemies" quickhack and open your way entirely to the main goal, therefore completing it fast and stealthily. Most of his gigs has a stealth bonus, so that means fast and easy 20k per job. Overall, his jobs can be done really fast and the payout is godly for the start of your playthrough, so dino always will be my first go to fixer whenever i start a new save.

[@TheNoctarius]

One of Dino's gigs can literally be completed by jumping on a fire exit with leg cyberware, open 1 door, eliminate 1 animals guy in that room, interact with 1 computer in the same room and leave said room via the same fire exit you entered from. All this can be done in less than a minute.

[@arthuralford]

I think Hands and Rogue have to be considered separately from the other fixers. Hands was totally redeveloped for Phantom Liberty, giving him more time in-game than any other fixer, plus his gigs are some of the best. Rogue's such an integral part of the story that she has a larger pretense than any other fixer. She wasn't added as a regular fixer until 1.53, with her own set of gigs to give us. And much like Hands, Rogue benefits from us getting some better-than-usual assignments for our V, the product of the dev's having less crunch and more knowledge of how players expected the game to go. Of the rest, I can't argue too much. Dex was always going to land on the bottom, no matter what, for the disaster of Konpeki Plaza. Dino gets us the fewest jobs, we don't really get much development from him either. Do get a terrific Easter egg, and a nice car. Padre, I used to think was one of the best but I'm going to have to agree with you-after getting the job to off Gustavo, you realize he's got no loyalties to anyone but himself. Wakkako? It's when you realize you're mostly helping her keep her kids in charge of the Tyger Claws, and what kind of evil bitch she is for what happened to Evelyn, that you understand she's no better than Padre. Dakota, I thought was-okay. She's probably the one, besides Hands, you'd feel you could have a conversation with. El Capitan, to me, is much better developed post-Phantom Liberty and you understand him better. I even forgive him for his whining about me being late with a car even though I'm being shot at by some goinks. Which leaves Regina, who gives us the most jobs, plus her own set of side hustles, and the best single present for completing her gigs

sam bram i love your videos. i just wish we played more games in common. i do enjoy the personality you bring but i just dont see myself watching a video about a game im completely disinterested in. dw tho ill stay subbed and if theres any games you cover that im interested in/play ill most definitely be there. my favorite thing about your cyberpunk videos is that you cover both lore AND gameplay, both of which im very interested in. congrats on 100k Sam :)

[@dodonpa-1]

perhaps you could make some build videos if you’re interested in that type of thing.

Padre was always my favorite. I had a respect for him for staying in the business for so long and being basically untouchable.

[@henryviiifake8244]

For V, it's Mr.Hands. *But in general, it's Rogue t #1.* Rogue has facilitated no less than 3x break-ins of Arasaka Tower: 1) to try and save Alt, 2) to set off the nuke, 3) to help V in Johnny's ending and has no problem getting her hands dirty. Meanwhile, as smart and conniving as Mr.Hands is, he depends _a lot more_ on V to expand his influence in Dogtown. Mr.Hands is a big fish in a medium sized pond... if said pond was full of hungry sharks and saltwater crocodiles, but Rogue is the Blue Whale. You don't get called the "Queen of Night city" lightly. Also, the Konpeki Plaza heist ONLY failed due to the _completely unexpected and unscheduled_ arrival of Saburo. I wouldn't expect any other fixer to think twice about killing us to get Arasaka off their back. Placing Dexter last based on an event that literally nobody could have predicted is something I don't agree with. *Imo, Dex > Dino at worst.*

Completely, Rogue is quite literally called "The biggest fixer in NC", she constantly fucks with the biggest companies and gangs in the Cbpk universe and still no one dares to go after her or the Afterlife. Mr Hands Is just a very charming guy who's basically the only big fixer in Dogtown that isn't related to Barghest, a position that gives him plenty of room to grow and excel influence without doing the crazy stuff Rogue does or has done before.

20:37 I did that! I did all the gigs even before dealing whit Maelstrom for the flat head or meeting Evelyn. Note of advice if you are gonna attempt this: You will need at least 8 strenght to open a door for one of the gigs, as far as i know there is no other way to complete that one. If there are any other skill requirements you know about for this "challenge" say them in replies!

[@RaidenKaiser]

I like to see Regina gigs as basically the preparing for the heist. Doing all her gigs first nets you alot of resources that help with both the maelstrom fight and the heist when thing go south.

[@333angeleyes]

I just want to say that your breakdown of why Dexter hired V and Jackie blow my mind because it put so many things in place and now so much makes sense! Also let me add I'm amazed at how young both V and Jackie are! Because of the way they look I thought they were both in their late 30s not their early 20s. But now Jackie's behavior makes more sense. I would have never looked up their ages if you would not had said what you did about why Dex hired them... Great video.

[@AshoreNevermore]

Mr. Hands is an alternate reality Judah from BoJack Horseman. Enough said.

[@sethwright3295]

A video on what Evelyn Parker meant to do with the relic/where it eventually could have gone had the heist been a success would be super interesting. What would Night City and the world of cyberpunk look like if the relic had made it to her?

[@BetaDude40]

It would have been extremely bleak to say the least. Saburo Arasaka's journal can be found in his AV if you backtrack up to the landing pad once T-Bug opens the balcony door. Saburo would have annihilated the entirety of Night City in a provocative nuclear strike to prevent the Relic 2.0 from reaching the hands of "barbarians," which would unequivocably kick off another Corpo War. Assuming he survives his son's assassination attempt, or his engram is successfully passed on into a new body, he would use the full resources of Arasaka to basically destroy everything that came within 50 miles of the Relic. Even if that's not the case, the egress done by Dex was so poor that Takemura quickly found Dex within like a week of the heist, despite backstabbing V in an attempt to cut loose. We don't know how exactly Takemura found Dex, but given 1) Dex's bodyguard Oleg is never seen again after the motel, and 2) Takemura did not seem to have any resources from Arasaka itself due to Yorinobu's coverup, we can safely say that Arasaka would have pretty quickly attempted to hunt down Evelyn if she still had the relic. Not to mention her intentions of backstabbing everyone, including the VDBs, so she would not have survived long

[@adagio7711]

Honestly, Hands was on his way to be my #1 too but his behavior in the side quest in which we choose the successor of Dogtown really put me off. There was no way he didn't know the fact that Bennet was an Arasaka puppet, he's also the only fixer who has multiple gigs from corpos, he's definetely a corpo rat.

[@tiseril]

Hands isn't just an old style fixer - he's one with a family, says a lot about how powerful he actually is. He is NOT afraid of having a family

[@MasonTheYoung]

Lore wise Rouge is probably the best, but I much prefer Mr Hands as an actual person.

[@johnsevern1062]

I remember commenting on one of Sam's videos a while back, about how I'm pretty sure Sergei is a John Wick reference and got in trouble with the Tyger Claws after killing a hitman's dog... Glad to see Sam has saved this in his headcanon!

[@Sasquatch33]

Even though Hands had some of the smaller amount of gigs, hes my favorite out of them all. Out of all the other fixers he felt like the only one who was actually well connected and knowledgeable with the fixer life. The whole pretending to be Aguilar gig in its own showed how professional Hands is.

[@fightronin3753]

Excellent made video choom!!!!

[@hunter_0221]

Regina is both overdeveloped and underdeveloped at the same time. Hear me out: She got this boomer humor, she's pretty crafty, has ties to the Chinese, but overall she's just...bland. And yet, she hogs an incredible amount of gigs (more than double that what most fixers have available) and also hosts the entire Cyberpsycho questline. It's a mystery why she even contacted V, likewise he barely ever actually talks to her (in almost every interaction save for maybe the reward quests she does 99% of the talking).

[@JustOnlyHallow]

The thing I love most about Mr Hands Gigs is that most of them involve moral choices and (not for V) heavy consecuences they are not easy to reach what is the best outcome for all of them, except the ones that are "Side-Gigs" and lets mold the morality of your V

[@roys.1889]

A few things I like about Hands: A. He looks like Sheogorath. B. His room is decorated with paintings of Set and Horus embodying his character in the DLC; he's technically an outsider and invader attempting to make a place for himself in BARGHAST territory, and he does bring with him some chaos, but at the same time he's trying to re-establish some form of order in this so-called free zone just like Horus.

[@Vincentpalmer22]

Hey Sam hope you are doing great, thank you for another great video 💛❤️

[@swordsmanfabian18]

Padre Ibara is definitely my favorite fixer, I like his style and way of taking care of business. "Old Testament" is a perfect way to describe him, and in a place like Night City, a little fire and brimstone goes a long way.

[@elitegamer9310]

Mr. Hands is my favorite fixer. All the other fixers are rather generic in a way. They all are just middlemen with some charitable or just purely altruistic intentions. Hands actually has a solid goal in mind: swipe the rug under Hansen's feet and take over Dogtown. While the other Fixers are there just to fling jobs your way, Hands describes the gigs he gives V as him shuffling the chess board around for a checkmate. We don't know exactly how these gigs improve his position on the board, but they all involve him helping out corps or getting in good with the people of Dogtown. The relationship between V and Hands also feels more personal than most of the Fixers.

[@joekerwildeDBJ87]

Unlocked El Capitan's heist of the water purification shipment yesterday under my Corpo Scumbag Netgunner/Monowire build (3rd playthrough, 2nd visit to Dogtown, Monowire upgraded with the Relic is absolutely brutal, just using the basic Monowire for the Intelligence boosts given) & learning about how things have gotten so bad this fixer, really was another brilliantly written piece from CDPR. Think I completed this with my previous save but it's been such a long time (at least 7 months) between stopping the Nomad after unlocking all base game endings after Phantom Liberty I just couldn't remember. But El Capitan, Regina (despite wiping Skippy & a Teir 5++ Smart Pistol of the same model can out perform Skippy) or Mr. Hands are joint number 1 for me

[@elinazariel]

Anyone else go and put a couple of bullets to Dex's head when go pick up the plan b? I just have to, cant help myself. Dex is/was a bad kind of specimen. His arrogance is probably one of the reasons for the heist to fail. All fixers have good and bad features. My fav is Hands though. He keeps himself out of trouble by hiring mercs to do his dirty work. But he clearly wants Dogtown to improve. And he seems to have somekind of respect towards V.

[@danilp8757]

Tbf aside from MR Hands i think El Captian and Regina Are the best/Nicest Fixers in the game and if you wouldve failed a gig they would just be Dissapointed instead of Outright threatining to Kill you. And they actually Care About peopleand have Morals as long as you dont get on their wrong side. a really rare trait in NC and that makes them Special. Rouge despite being ranked that High is kinda Meh in terms of her Attitude tbf in NC its maybe Essential but still Humanity in NC is rare and every time such gigs feel like an Oasis in a dystopian desert of Corruption, Violence and Ruthelessnes.

[@cringeman74]

You missed David's fixer from edgerunners, Faraday. I don't know if I'd place him below Dex but he was certainly a terrible guy.

[@karasu5107]

Quite hard to rank them, but Rogue and Hands on top 2 i totally agree, but padre nah, probably would be my number 3

[@notveryartificial4486]

Hands in base game: one gig for you, I guess? Hands in DLC: ah, you managed to get into the area I'm actually working on, how testicle-ticklingly delightful :D Seriously, such a cool guy - charming, eccentric, calm and collected, and incredibly professional. He's the textbook example of a fixer. If he accepts to set up a job - the job WILL be done

Interesting how El Cap and Takemura had similar conditions growing up with Arasaka poisoning the water with chemicals And both working for corps with El Cap ultimately leaving to forge his own path while Takemura is how he put it “can’t teach an old dog new tricks” But yeah El Cap and Mr Hands are my personal favourites

[@englishgiraffe2124]

Regina: She does have the most screentime out of the bunch, but she's one of the more fair and honest fixers. I really like how she's willing to try and make NC a better place by exposing the truth, and legitimately wants to find treatment for cyberpsychosis. I'd work for her. Dex: Traitor. He always prefers to take the easy way out and leave everyone else in the dust (V, Rhino and T-Bug). He always talks about honesty, but is just a massive liar. Vik was 100% right about Dex. And yet, he's not even the most detestable fixer as that honour goes to... Wakako: Finding out she's the one to sell Evelyn off to the Scavs after Fingers puts her on the same level as Woodman, Joanne and Jotaro. I get a visceral reaction whenever interacting with her, Dex may be a coward, but Wakako is straight-up evil. Her gigs are alright though. Muamar: Like Regina, he's one of the more honest fixers, genuinely caring for his people and wanting to make his community better (his reaction in the Family Matters gig is bittersweet). That said, he has the worst fashion sense; a bowl-cut mullet with trousers like that??!! I wouldn't work for him based on the fact I'd laugh too much about what he's wearing. Mr Hands: From the bits I've seen from Phantom Liberty, he's probably the best fixer. He's not as morally good like Regina or Muamar, but I love his professionalism, but also how he's willing to step in for V if things get tough. On my last-gen version tho, he's nothing special. Dakota: Easily he most likeable fixer, her voice and way of words is so soothing. And I love her endearment for her community, but that's to be expected from a Nomad. Probably has the best and most varied gigs on-average too, any gig that makes me go after Wraiths is good enough for me. Padre: He may be a hypocrite and may be extremely dishonest but man, his charisma is so good. I could listen to his poetic way of speaking all day. I love his relationship with (Street Kid) V, and he's probably tied with Dakota with having the best gigs in the game. Dino: Definitely the funniest fixer, but not exactly a good person, preferring to work alongside corpos despite having a rockerboy aesthetic. Still, any guy that makes me go after someone as evil as Joanne places Dino pretty high on being likable. Rogue: Separating my thoughts on her as a character since they're separate from her fixer position, I actually respect her pragmatism in order to get to where she is. Her gigs are alright, thought they would've had more variety considering they're supposed to be 'elite' jobs. On a scale of being most likeable and the most likely for me to work for: Dakota Regina Muamar Mr Hands Rogue Dino Padre Dex Wakako Best Gigs on-average (from a PS4 perspective): Padre Dakota Dino Regina Muamar Wakako Rogue Mr Hands

There are no really bad fixers. In the RPG I used to play back in the 90s (yes I'm old) we came across a number of fixers who not only screwed us money wise but also some even sold us out (like de Shawn but without dying - well at least not by the Corps, we did that for free). Same with Ripper Docs - if there is one criticism of the game is that every ripper and fixer don't do you dirty or sell you crap gear requiring constant repair - they do exist but we are never personally effected by them. Mr Hands certainly changed from the Used Car sales man he was in the original game. The original voice would not have worked with the character we meet (who sounded a lot like Kirk but even more energised and confident).
