Cheats & Secrets

Cheats & Secrets for Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 does not include any official cheat codes or built-in console commands accessible from the pause menu or in-game terminal. The game is designed as a single-player RPG with no developer-sanctioned cheat systems. However, there are several secret commands, hidden content, Easter eggs, and developer-intended unlockable secrets that you can access. Below is a comprehensive breakdown.

---

1. Official Cheats

• None. There are no official cheat codes (e.g., God Mode, unlimited ammo, level skip) that can be toggled via button combinations or in-game menus. All player advantages must be obtained through normal gameplay or via mods.


---



2. Console Commands (PC Only – Developer Mode)



On PC, you can enable a developer console to execute commands that function like cheats. This is not officially supported and requires modifying game files or using a mod. Use at your own risk; achievements may be disabled.

#### How to Enable the Console
1. Navigate to your game installation folder (e.g., `.../Cyberpunk 2077/bin/x64`).
2. Create a shortcut of `Cyberpunk2077.exe`.
3. Right-click the shortcut, select Properties, and in the Target field append ` -consoleanddebugbuild` after the file path (e.g., `"C:\\Games\\Cyberpunk 2077\\bin\\x64\\Cyberpunk2077.exe" -consoleanddebugbuild`).
4. Launch the game using this shortcut.
5. Press the Tilde key (`~`) to open the console during gameplay.

#### Useful Console Commands

• `God()` – Toggle invulnerability (damage immunity).


• `Game.Player.GiveItem('{item_code}', {quantity})` – Spawn any item (e.g., `'Items.QuantumTuner'`, `'Items.PingQuickhack'`).


• `Game.Player.SetLevel({level})` – Set player level (e.g., `50`).


• `Game.FastTravel({location_code})` – Teleport to a fast travel point.


• `Game.AdvanceTime({hours})` – Jump time forward (e.g., `8` for 8 hours).


• `ClearNotifications()` – Remove all screen notifications.


> Note: Item codes are extensive. Search online for a full list of `items.csv` codes. Using these commands may corrupt your save or prevent achievements – backup saves first.

3. Unlock Codes & Secret Endings



These are legitimate, developer-intended secrets accessible through specific in-game actions and choices.

#### The Secret Ending: "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"

• Requirement: During the mission "Nocturne OP55N1" (the point of no return), when Misty asks if you want to go to the roof, do not select any of the three faction options. Instead, wait silently for about 5–10 seconds. A new dialogue option will appear: "Think you can handle it alone?" – choose it.


• Result: V storms Arasaka tower solo. Extremely difficult, but if you survive, you get a unique ending.


• Condition: Your relationship with Johnny must be at 70%+ (select friendly dialogue choices during his flashbacks).


#### Secret Weapons & Items

• Skippy the Smart Gun: During the side gig "Machine Gun" (in Heywood), you can encounter Skippy in a trash container. After the job, you can either keep him or return him to Regina Jones. Skippy has two modes: Puppy-Loving Pacifist (headshots only, non-lethal) or Stone-Cold Killer (lethal). Switching modes is possible but limited.


• The Prototype Shingen Mark V: Found in the Arasaka Industrial Park during the gig "Spare Parts" (from Dakota Smith). Loot a crate in a locked room for this iconic smart submachine gun with enhanced tracking.


• The Cocktail Stick: A unique melee weapon hidden in a locked room at the No-Tell Motel. Requires Technical Ability 8 to open the door.


#### Hidden Cyberware

• Legendary Gorilla Arms: Can be obtained early by defeating the cyberpsycho in "Cyberpsycho Sighting: The Old Soldier" (in Watson). If you spare him, you get the arms as a reward.


• Second Heart (Legendary): Found in the mission "The Heist" – after escaping the hotel, look in a hidden container near the pier (requires high Body to break through a door).

4. Hidden Features & Easter Eggs



#### Easter Eggs

• Hideo Kojima Cameo: During the mission "The Heist", look behind the bar in the penthouse – a character named "Ojima" (modeled after Hideo Kojima) is standing there.


• The Shard of the Future: In the badlands, near the Biotechnica Flats fast travel point, you can find a shard titled "Message from the Future" referencing an unreleased game (a nod to CD Projekt Red's own delays).


• "Never Fade Away" Song: The full version of the Samurai song is only heard during the secret ending. Part of the song plays on radio but not the complete version.


• Lizard Cyberpsycho: In Pacifica, a cyberpsycho named "The Lizard" has a note referencing the game The Witcher 3 ("Winds howling").


• Cyberpunk 2020 Tabletop References: Various notes and shards mention characters and events from Mike Pondsmith's original tabletop game, such as Morgan Blackhand.


• Dildo Weapon: In the Fingers ripperdoc's clinic (Jig-Jig Street), you can loot a dildo from a device. It's a joke melee weapon that can be upgraded.


#### Hidden Locations

• The Abandoned Apartment in the Glen: Accessible after the mission "Automatic Love" – you can find a stash with legendary loot (requires high Street Cred or Technical Ability).


• The Skyline Observatory: Off-map area above the city; reachable via a glitch or precise jumping. Contains a hidden message from the developers.


• The Stadium Parking Lot: In the Rancho Coronado area, a locked container (requires 8 Technical Ability) yields the Chaos iconic pistol.


#### Secret Quickhacks

• System Reset (Legendary): Can be crafted only after acquiring a specific perk and finding crafting spec at a hidden terminal in the Arasaka Waterfront during the ending mission.


• Memory Wipe: Found in a shard during the quest "The Hunt" ; not sold by any vendor.

5. Exploit-Safe Secrets (Legitimate Hidden Content)



These are not exploits but rather clever shortcuts or optional content the developers intended players to discover.

#### Early Legendary Loot

• Legendary Armor in the Megabuilding H10 Apartment: After the prologue, inspect your stash room. A hidden panel behind the mirror (requires Body 6 or Technical Ability 6) reveals a stash with random legendary gear. Respawns after a few in-game days.


• Legendary Weapon from the Shooting Range: In the "Gimme Danger" quest, you can find a legendary Overture revolver in a locked locker (requires Technical Ability 8) in the Shooting Range basement.


#### EZ Money Glitch (Fixed)

• An early exploit allowing infinite money via selling painting duplicates was patched in version 1.23. No longer functional.


#### Safe Exploit: Duplicate Items (Patched)

• The item duplication glitch (using the stash inventory) was fixed in patch 1.5.

6. Developer-Intended Hidden Content



CD Projekt Red deliberately hid certain content that is fully canonical but requires extensive exploration or specific dialogue choices.


• Johnny's Secret Recordings: Throughout the game, you can find hidden audio logs from Johnny Silverhand in various locations (docks, Arasaka tower, etc.). They reveal backstory not found elsewhere.


• The Cat Mission: A hidden side job "Epistrophy" involving a cyber-cat. It only triggers if you scan a specific cat in various locations across Night City (spread across the map).


• The Tarot Card Readings: Scattered throughout the city are tarot card graffiti that trigger unique dialogue with Misty. Finding all 22 unlocks a special scene.


• The Bloody Mary Quest: In the Badlands, a random encounter involves a crashed AV with a body that has a shard triggering a short quest chain that ends with a unique weapon.

Final Tips for Secret Hunters

1. Save often – multiple saves allow you to undo choices that lock you out of secrets.
2. Max out Technical Ability – many hidden containers require high skill checks.
3. Scan everything – use your Kiroshi optics to spot hidden loot, quest items, and Easter egg triggers.
4. Complete all side gigs – many secrets are tied to specific gigs from fixers.
5. Check Cyberpunk 2077 Wiki – for accurate, up-to-date item codes and hidden locations post-patches.
