Extra: Psychofan also features Johnny's Pants in a suitcase in Gaston's bedroom. They're pretty tough to miss but make sure to pick them up to unlock the Breathtaking achievement and inhabit Johnny Silverhand both inside and out!

[@calebreynolds9183]

It’s funny that I find both the cyberpunk and doom universe so compelling. Something about the extremely grey morality of the cyberpunk world and the juxtaposition of the Doomslayer just saying “lol no” in his own world is funny to me. Like Samuel Hayden has this whole dystopian UAC shit going on and the slayer single handedly makes his world right by gong on a multi-billion year long killing spree that left the demons unable to read or write lmao

[@roribeedm]

There's a tweak to Heroes that is tied to Bring Me the Head of Gustavo Orta. If you manage to sneak into Gustavo's office and you kill him prior to completing Heroes, instead of Gustavo being at the ofrenda, a random Valentino will be in his spot. If you talk to the Valentino he mentions that Gustavo knew Jackie, but he was recently killed and the Valentinos have no idea who did it, but they are trying to find out.

[@roribeedm]

And another tie in you missed: Eye for an Eye. Rosita's parents are both at Jackie's ofrenda in Heroes.

[@TheJuggerClutch]

They also just so happen to be some of the coolest pants in the game tbh

[@agitatedzone]

So that's what it takes to get into Johnny's pants

[@wojto16]

Here's some other details I noticed in the Heywood gigs: - in the Fifth Column Gig, one of the background Valentinos inside the bar briefly mentions El Gallo. Apparently Valentinos were being asked by the locals to "take care of him", but they decided that it's not worth the hussle - completing Gustavo Orta gig before Jackie's funeral, gives you a different scene during the Ofrenda, in which you can talk with some Valentinos about Gustavo's death, as well as overheard them talking about how Jackie and Orta became friends - if you kill Gustavo yourself by starting a fight, in the beginning of the Pepe's sidequest, when you try to calm down some Valentinos harrasing a drunk Corpo, if you pick the regular peaceful dialogue option, those Valentinos will recognize V as the person they saw wandering around Gustavo's place before he was killed and suspecting that V was responsible, attack him/her - third one for Gustavo, that I saw on reddit, is that, after his death, a new graffiti in Spanish will appear in Heywood, which translates to "Padre did Gustavo Orta". - final one for Gustavo, if you return later to his office, the camera footage from hospital now will be showing an empty bed, implying that either Martha really did die or recovered (in Cyberpunk world, the first option is obviously more likely) - in Karubo gig, if you do it before Monster Hunt, you can find a new mail on his computer from one and only Jotaro Shobo, greeting him back in Night City, while at the same time warning him to stay away from him - there is a connection to the Psychofan gig in Kerry's mansion. If you read messages on his computer, in one of them he asks one of his men to get back this guitar as quickly as possible, because he needs it for upcoming concert, using any means necessary, meaning that this gig was given to V indirectly by Kerry - a bit of speculation, but I think that The Lord Giveth And Taketh Away might be related to Jose Luis story, given that it features Valentinos using Militech cars to do some highly illegal activity, possibly more "provocations" on behalf of Arasaka. There is no clear evidence of that, but personally I think it fits and also explains how they got into possession of the cars they were now selling to the Nomads - in the Tucker Albach gig, if you break in violently, she will have completely different reaction to V's arrival. Instead of being cool and composed, she will be terrified and begging from the get-go - you can see parents of the girl killed by Tucker at Jackie's funeral, talking in the background about how Mama Welles holds up (you can only tell that it's them by using scanner and seeing their names), coming to show support for her after also recently losing their own child. While it might seem kinda random, I think it's used to portray people of Heywood as this very close knit community, where everyone knows each other, just as Jackie describes them in Nomad intro - now for some pretty badass detail, if you approach Tucker with your weapon hidden away, after you talk with her and decide to take her down, when V pulls out a weapon, he/she will always do the first equip animation with it. It seems to be intentionally programmed like that to add more weight to Tucker's execution, basically showing her what you are going to finish her with - for Rebecca Price gig, while it's not a detail, I did check and it seems like she doesn't have any lines recorded for that Gig. It's possible that they might have planned for that, but run out of time to record dialogue for her, or that the note was simply meant to show that, just like Jose, not all people you are taking down are bad people doing things for selfish reasons, but still they ended up putting others in danger because of their actions, so your job is to dispose of them

[@SamBram]

Wow! Thanks for the info. Loads of really insightful stuff here. Now I feel I've gotta mention some of these again in future videos just to add all this stuff too!

[@wojto16]

@@SamBram You're welcome:)

[@BL00DYME55]

oh wow, I never actually put the two and two together, regarding Kerry's guitar. I've read his email asking his men to find it like a hundred times, but it never clicked that actually his men likely got in touch with a fixer, and that's how we got the job. CDPR don't get enough credit for all these small nuggets of detail.

I concur 100% Sam’s videos definitely add depth to my playthroughs!

[@reubensemmanuel5926]

100% context makes it wayyy more immersive

[@toadlord8594]

Yeah same could be said when you play Dark Souls/Elden ring games, reading through the lore would help make your play through of the games more engaging.

[@wickedtruth6849]

fun fact if you do the corpo life path. at the start in Arasaka HQ you can hear some people talking about the false flag Militech operation. so that was off and running months before the heist.

[@DigitalVirusX2]

I had NO idea about the "Lets drink to Jackie!" option... I have 900hrs in this game and I guess every time I either chose: in and out without anyone seeing me or full on grenade through the front door, don't fear the reaper style. Only on my last playthrough did I even realize you can talk to Gustavo Orta in his home...

[@juanmccoy3066]

Idk how u guys get to 900... I love this game now that i came back for 2.0 and on my series x. (Just didn't want to work with the older versions on my series S or last gen console. And definitely not on my PC which stopped being updated in 2018. So I came back right. And I'm on my 3rd full playthrough. 200 hours in. 100 of those hours on my first playthrough where I barely even touched phantom liberty (because I ended the game with Hanako by mistake but still ended up with the best ending, quite naturally. ) So 200 hrs in coming up on my 3rd ending (I'm going to storm the towers as Johnny with Rogue) But im already getting burnt out . And haven't really hit phantom liberty past the prologue. I know I can easily get another 100 hours or more out of a very hard PL run. But im struggling to get there. Yet... all I wanna do is keep playing and experimenting with new builds and combos.

[@shine02315]

For the On a Tight Leash gig, if you sneak into the building you can observe a meeting between Jose and an Arasaka representative

[@kelseyrobinson1917]

Having Padre tell you “get out of there” is slightly chilling, lol.

[@NickonStark]

PLEASE do the map-red string thing!! I picked up on a lot of the world building stuffed into shards and computers on my playthroughs. But watching your videos I realize I didn’t fully link it all together!

[@saragroovi]

[@petertrex]

man, Heywood has so many connections, hideen details, nice touch and all of them are so unique. I always leave Heywood and City center for the last because it is simpler to complete that way also I really love all the details you can appreciate once you have done other stuff from other parts of the map.

[@Larisiahott]

I had no idea you can go to the funeral home to see names of other people killed throughout the game. I thought I knew everything after 1000 hrs. Thanks Sam!

[@SayMy_User_Name]

The biggest triumph of this game is also its biggest issue.. if u stay in one region and complete all the NCPD scanners and gigs in it, u will see just how connected everything going on in that area is.. but the issue is, irs an open world game, and people r gonna play it like irs any other open world game.. ya do a gig in heywood then drive halfway across the map to do a side job with panam, then by the time u get back to heywood you’ve completely forgotten about those previous gigs u did.. So most players will never really notice how it all connects, e especially on a first play through.. the only way to take notice of how detailed n connected each neighborhood is, u either have to have played through the game multiple times, or u have to clear out each region one at a time.. This is why the great things cyberpunk does r so overlooked .. cdpr did some genius stuff and, in my opinion, completely changed up the usual open world formula, but at the same time they failed to convey that change to most players so most people who do 1 play throughs come away feeling like yeah it was fine, but nothin special .. when in reality there’s so many special things happening in this game Another great video man, I absolutely love this series and this game.. hyped for some PL news later today !!

[@briangulley6027]

I've played several play throughs and never noticed most of this stuff. It's my fault as I'm too impatience to study the messages and shards to put 2 and 2 together.

[@SayMy_User_Name]

@@briangulley6027 lol nah I hear u, I’m the same way.. most games nowadays don’t require u to use ur brain ar all, everything is straight up told or showed to u blatantly, so when a game comes along that actually expects its players to stop and think sometimes, it just goes right over everyone’s head lol why do u think I love this video series so much? It’s connecting so many things I’ve never put together myself meanwhile I’ve played it several times as well

[@briangulley6027]

@@SayMy_User_Name I feel like a kindergartener when the teacher would read to us because we we're too young to read the stories ourselves. Now I'm too lazy to read for myself so these videos creators are my "teacher" reading to me. I'm glad they make these videos, thanks to all of them.

[@ericm3327]

This is not a problem this is the beauty of open world games and living breathing worlds it takes patience and appreciation and time to get it all that’s why skyrim mysteries were so compelling and the game has persisted for so long

[@algrave]

RE: Fifth Column mission If you have the double-jump legs you can spring straight up into the open window.

[@jackmack4181]

This is usually how I do it First I blind the guy, which causes him to instinctively turn around. I then jump to the window, choke him out then Clep the shard

[@Larisiahott]

I always enjoy Heywood gigs. I wish Dakota's gigs were just as good because the badlands is such a vibe~!

[@backslash153]

Love the Old Friends gig, because as Karubo starts out standing at the Kitchen window it allows one to pop in a sec, hit him with Suicide quickhack, and leave before it even finishes uploading. - nice to see what detes I missed out on by doing that though!

[@VoxFauste]

I guess that most of the missions where you're supposed to think introspectively were also the ones that I cleared no questions asked. I think I've used the suicide hack on Gustavo in every playthrough I've done. Didn't even know you could speak to the guy with Padre's rods. Had no idea Karubo was even that dangerous in NC. Never considered sparing Tucker.

[@Tommy-5684]

im pretty sure the "Bring me the Gead of Gustavo Alta" is a Reffrence to the Sam Peckinpah film "Bring me the head of Alfredo Gaecia"

[@ladynea]

I've finished the game at least 4 times, played every path and still I find out I missed so many details watching your videos! damn you did some great work, I'm binge watching your videos and falling in love with this game everytime a little more :)

You are the best! I love these videos... Heywood is really the best in gigs perspective!

[@LonewolfOfSD]

Damn dude! I have played through this game at least 5 times, on my sixth right now, and I have missed some of these connections and alternate ways of handling some missions. Excellent work on this video.

[@dark_fire_ice]

To paraphrase Jackie "Heywood is where everyone is a bro, sis, or distant cousin, and packing iron." It makes sense why everything there is so interconnected (I'm betting the Nomad life path was either some devs favorite, or just had more time to be worked on)

[@josephknowles7721]

Just discovered your channel, can't get enough of it! Ladrillo's mission "D" tier, lol

[@Serothil_and_stuff]

Fifth column, you can also jump through a window in the left alley that leads to a bathroom near the room with the computer. Evade the camera sneak past the dude. If you time it well enough you can actually steal the data and leave without either the camera in the room or the guy noticing you.

[@sinafey7030]

Regarding Ladrilo gig, if u scan the closed door, that requires authorisation, u can see the body 15 requirment..but for some reason it doesnt trigger, so its probably just a bug..and judging by similar doors in other gigs throut the city, theres probably a chest containing a butload of legendary gear, when u do it after a certain lvl treshhold, atleast in 2.0

[@comradebubz5887]

Love your vids! One quick note that may be of some attention. In the gig Up or Down? the nickname of the mechanic is "Gallo". I am Cuban, we call roosters Gallo and in many cases we used them in Cuba to fight each other. Usually these fighting roosters will be trained from a early age to be very aggressive when provoked. This could explain why the mechanic is given this name with how obviously unhinged he is. Additionally it is not uncommon to hear Spanish slang of the word "Gallo" to refer to a aggressive person, usually a man.

[@johnroberts838]

Excellent video, the gig Hot Merchandise was the only gig that felt a bit odd. Thank you 👍👍👍

[@SamBram]

Thanks John! Yes I think it was likely a late development edition which needed to be double checked

[@SkooterBrother]

Love your videos man! Really appreciate your hard work in making these videos. I really love the game but help me out over here. I am playing on max difficulty, I am happily struggling through the first half of the game and it is great. Gunplay is fun and hacking is not overpowered, making money and spending it on gear(or cars) feels rewarding etc. But then I will come to a point where my character is just too strong and I am one shotting enemies, or can take whole groups with ease. Second half of the game is just super easy - go to the place of the mission and destroy everyone in seconds. I am of course still dying sometimes if I am not careful, but the gameplay is not rewarding. I am doing many side quests before and sometimes main missions to push the game plot forward. The longer I play the more I feel like I am being punished for doing more missions and levelling up, because enemies get weaker relative to me. I wish enemies would stay badasses and not just turn into little babies. I love the game, love the story and side quests, love the gameplay, love my V, love the lore and atmosphere of the game. Hate how mundane the game becomes and how boring it gets when there is no challenge in enemy encounters. So I am wondering maybe you or anyone here knows any way to make it hard and challenging thought the whole game? Maybe there are some settings or tips and tricks or maybe mods that you guys know? Loved that video idea of Netgunner glass cannon where you talked about how not to make game too easy for yourself. Maybe I am playing the game wrong? Thx for hard work once again!

[@SamBram]

You're absolutely right about the lack of late game challenge! I get that it's tough to balance feeling rewardingly more levelled but I think they need to find a way to make you less OP. I do find not speccing into body or cool make the game significantly harder. But then you miss out on a lot of cool features and straight up can't do a lot of build. Hopefully the combat zone will proivde an actual late game challenge. It sure sounds like it should! My guess is they'll do what they did with Touissant in Blood and Wine and make the enemies there more OP

[@dmservetus42]

There's another way into "Sr. Ladrillo's Private Collection". There is a way to get into the room upstairs by jumping up the side of the building using leg cyberware; just skip the club alrtogether. I think I would have liked "Bring me the Head of Gustavo Orta" more if there had a been a way top go more off book; like in "Scrolls for Swine" where you can turn on your employer once you discover his secret. Orta is looking for a hit-man to go after Nolan Frakes, there doesn't seem to be a good reason V couldn't switch sides and start hunting Nolan. As is it feels like deliberately left unfinished to milk drama, leaning into bathos rather than pathos as a result.

[@taOGrimace]

I think in the "Fifth Column" gig, you are able to find Johnny's shoes in one of the lockers in either offices upstairs near the main objective. I remember reading "Johnny's Shoes" on the item list when I was loot hoarding and just happened to stumble on it when I checked my inventory. I think Gaston is linked to the restaurant somehow?

[@brosefmalkovitch3121]

As much as I appreciate the detail and effort that went into so many of these amazing sidegigs, I wish there was more way to interact with them. You can spend all the time you want piecing together these stories in game and trying your best to roleplay or influence the outcome but more often than not there's nothing else for you to do besides follow a set path and enjoy the scenery before you during/before/after you wipe a bunch of grunts who may or may not have shards on them or random chatter to give them a modicum of characterization. There's so much potential for interactivity and player agency and it's clear CD Projekt just didn't have enough time or a clear enough vision to complete the game.

[@thebrownharvey]

Fifth Column, I usually hack the camera in the back, shoot the Valentino then jump through the window. Never knew you could talk to the guy about Jackie

[@didyouknowthat.channel]

The attention to detail in this game is mind-blowing. Other games will drop in some "lore" items randomly with no reason but this game clearly paints a big picture, everywhere you look. There's always something to discover, wherever you go. But this is not to say that I am forgiving it for having launched so poorly. I am one of the few that refunded it after two days of launch but I did buy it again months later, after everything has settled in.

[@mastershake11711]

Hey i remember in a another video u mentioned looking for the trauma team gear.

I work for a fortune 500 company we just got our 7th paid vacation day written into the contract after the company existing for over 100 years. My boss did my job which is part time for 16 years before his promotion. I've had to be briefed and certified in the ways of those who would really commit electronic warfare to get into our systems from outside and from within and how ideas you have that effect how work is done are proprietary of the company. I am saying this to show you that as wild any of this may seem it is here. It is real. It is now. The corps are winning. Edit: it's not complete cyberpunk dystopia though. I get paid vacations and weekends off. My benefits are probably some of the best you can get with complete coverage for my family all the way to death and dismemberment if I want. But don't get is wrong. The higher up the corpo ladder you go the more you run into 80+ hour work week with people scarfing down drugs to keep going. 20-50 careers are all too common.

[@silverbane8065]

Wow. Just, wow... I have never gone back to Gustavo's place, so assumed what Padre said was a cover up. I've also never tried just walking in there, I always sneaked in via the balcony. I've also never tried walking into the restaurant with the guy at the window. So I had no idea I could take a drink with the bouncer, I usually just stealth in and out. (I love optical cammo for this, bathrooms are a blessing lol) As for the one where Padre suggests that Arasaka are planning a new war... Have you considered that maybe its not due to Yorinobu? Maybe Saburo already prepped this (your vid showed me that the second car in the garage having missing parts was not just my game lol, so maybe that's the reason why things had not yet got started) and Yori just has not had time to stop this or change the mission. Truthfully, I don't know if Yori was just anti Arasaka or anti Corpo fully but I think, like his niece Michico, he *likes* NightCity. So it wouldn't make quite so much sense to trash the place for him. Saburo, on the other hand, thing the place is a golden crêpe paper wrapped turd that needs to be erased from the world (lol) and the only reason we are able to wake up there after the heist is that Yorinobu took him out for us XD I get the feeling that, while Yori is showing his teeth to the other big names in corpoland (basically saying he's a big dog, don't mess with him) that's just for while he is cleaning house at home. Once he has full control over Arasaka, he can look to make outside alliances with other corps and maybe there would not be a war between Arasaka and MiliTech (at least, not directly by his hand. What MiliTech choose to do is up to them. I'm sure tho, if they started it, he would be determined to finish it as he cannot appear to be weak to his own people)

[@VVen0m]

i always thought that the Glen gigs are some of if not the best gigs in the entire game

[@DrSid42]

Woho, this is some good stuff. I mean I went through the game 20 times. Cleared it 10 times at least .. yet I still don't know all this stuff .. guess it's because I don't read shards .. ain't nobody got time for that ..

[@CorniestOfNuggets]

i sniped rebecca from the walkway above and after i read the shard i felt sooooooo bad for killing her, it’s nice to know that there wasn’t any other way, but i still feel bad 😭

[@Bulbasore]

Ohhh damn I am pretty sure on 5th column I took everyone out 😅 gotta recheck my playthrough but I do like going in guns blazing

[@joelbyjack]

my dumbass thought we were breaking into KERRYS apartment to steal his guitar FOR the psychofan

[@markimarc009]

I feel like Heywood was supposed to be a the first set of gigs or area in an earlier version of cyberpunk. Personally I think nomad or street kid it would make more sense, since you had lived with Jack. Moreover I appreciate that the Valentinos are made to be tougher enemies in the final product. Heywood family is strong, not Corpo strong, but strong. Though, outside the bar for Fifth Column, you can find some (I assume) older Tino’s. They talk about the Tino’s turning more into a Corp, caring more about Eddies, than the typical Tino’s flare and faith. (Also if you’re speed running the mission, you can knock the Tino in the window and the camera after just jumping into the window after your big jump of choice) Also, though it’s nothing important and I could still be wrong, Banri is “Bon-ree”, thanks Golden Time anime lol

I did the gig with Tucker Albach with 20 Body after 2.0. I took her bribe then knocked her out with the "one-handed club" you get from your "meeting" with Meredith Stout then threw her unconscious body out the window so hard her legs came off 😂

[@DrakeAurum]

I'm not sure if it's still the case, but the Gustavo Orta gig was one that could get really screwed up in the game as released. Basically you're supposed to confront him and have a conversation with some choices to make, but it was entirely possible to take him down with quickhacks before you even entered the building. If you did, the game respawned him but the quest's progression triggers were still all screwed up.

[@IJHarris001]

I don't know why but I feel so sad for that drone used to steal stuff from K.E. damn little thing couldn't carry the weight but the psychofan really wasn't leaving it behind. Poor thing.

[@staticthewhitewolf7040]

I thought "Hot Merchandise" should have had a side quest to save the sister.

[@angelguzman477]

In eye for an eye you can accept her deal, she will give you money and the safe and then you can kill her, doing this you get everything It's like the werewolf quest in the Witcher 3

[@eftalanquest]

at some point you should do a list ranking all the fixers from a personality standpoint

[@SamBram]

Planning on it! It'll come after the gigs are done since the jobs they give you are also a good way to judge their moral fibre

[@agentverona]

I'm actually really sad about Gustavo. I never went back to check on him, thought he faked his death.

[@johnlawrence7097]

Johnny's pants are here too

[@angel8fingers]

The chicken joint is called “Fuckin Chicken” in Mexican. That is hilarious!

[@TheJuggerClutch]

I saw a comment on another vid say that some corpos show up if you stick around after the phone call with padre for On a Tight Leash. Can anyone confirm this? Would check myself but haven’t had a lot of time lately to start my next playthrough

[@SamBram]

Valentinos showed up for me but not Corpos. Granted I didn't stick around for a long time after so they may very well still rock up

[@Vivi_nne]

I was doing a gig where you have to go look for some data and find out what happened to someone (i forgot most of it)but when i entered one of the rooms i saw a robot dancing infront of another robot who was siting in a chair watching.

[@preciousfarris7097]

I tried looking into this and couldn't find anyone else who saw it😂😂😂 now I have

[@OGDukeSD]

Small correction on pronunciation, Joaquin is pronounced WAHKEEN, love your vids.

[@Thequietkid209]

people named joaquin: yass queen!!

[@Blackmark7410]

I guess it's also possible that the Arasaka plan was being done by a none Yurinobu aligned faction.

[@Cat-cr6qu]

Idk if this was mentioned but I saw Gustavo orta at Jackie’s offrenda

[@JimLeonard]

Holy crap, you can TALK to Gustavo?? 400 hours and I never realized that.
