While you may go about it a few ways, there are a few things to know going into theCyberpunk 2077 Phantom Libertyexpansion, including how you start it and for how long you’re locked in it. Here’s all the info.
When can you startPhantom LibertyinCyberpunk 2077?
There are two ways of getting into thePhantom Libertycontent inCyberpunk 2077. For those who have a save file, you can just boot up your game and pick up the quest once it arrives. The quest in question,Dog Eat Dog, arrives after V gets a mysterious call from a prominent character.
The quest Dog Eat Dog will only appear once you’re contacted, which looks to beafter the quest “Transmission”, part of the netrunning story. If you have a save file from the endgame or right before the point-of-no-return, you’ll pick the quest up pretty fast.
Alternatively, you can choose toskip aheadand head straight forCyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, without either loading an old game or starting a fresh one. This jumps you ahead to somewhere after the events of Act 1, allowing V to instantly access both the base game content andPhantom Liberty. The player can still use the character creator, pick a difficulty, and opt for a lifepath, and will start at level 20 with pre-selected gear and attributes. You can also use the “reset attributes” option in the menu for one free reset.
An important noteif you pick the skip-ahead option:Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Libertywill make a choice for you surrounding the quests “I Walk the Line” and “Transmission.” While V can choose to side with the Voodoo Boys or Netwatch in the normal story, picking the skip-aheadwill default to V siding with Netwatch. Keep that in mind if you want the jump-forward.
Where doesPhantom Libertystart inCyberpunk 2077?
Once you’ve received the call from Songbird or skipped ahead, follow the quest marker to a location near Pacifica. Batty’s Hotel is a good nearby fast travel point.
