Lifepath Choice is Minor
Don’t stress over your lifepath selection—be it Nomad, Street Kid, or Corpo. While it influences some dialogue and the game’s intro, it doesn’t significantly impact the overall story or mission outcomes. Choose the one that resonates with you the most; there’s no wrong choice.
Loot Everything
Always pick up items you find around Night City. You can sell or disassemble most loot for parts, including seemingly useless junk. Whether it's weapons, gear, or health items, every bit counts towards crafting or earning eddies.
Food and Drink Are Similar
Most food and drink items provide similar benefits, enhancing your health or stamina. All food items grant a small health boost, while drinks improve stamina. The only exception is alcoholic drinks, which negatively affect movement speed and weapon accuracy.
Skip Time for Calls
If you’re waiting for an important call during missions, fast-forwarding time can be a useful strategy. By skipping 24 hours, you’ll often receive the call immediately, allowing you to progress without unnecessary delays.
Come Back Later
Feel free to leave missions and return when you’re ready. Whether you need to clear inventory space or tackle another objective first, the game allows you to pause your current mission without penalty. Just be prepared for some snarky remarks when you return!
With these tips in mind, you’ll navigate Night City more effectively and enjoy your adventure in Cyberpunk 2077.
