The Corpo-Rat
The Corpo-Rat life path in Cyberpunk 2077 offers a unique perspective on the corporate world of Night City. In this prologue mission, your character finds themselves caught in a web of intrigue and corruption within the Arasaka Corporation. As you navigate through the mission, you’ll have to make choices that will shape your future in this dystopian metropolis. Follow this guide to successfully complete the Corpo prologue mission.
Step 1: Head to Jenkins’ Office
- After recovering from a bout of nausea in the Arasaka VIP bathroom, you’ll receive a call from your friend Jackie. Choose your dialogue options and explain the situation to him before hanging up. Leave the bathroom and explore the main lobby of the Arasaka building. Take note of the shards on the tables to learn more about the Arasaka corporation. Make your way to the elevators, picking up lore shards along the way.
Step 2: Talk to Jenkins
- Upon reaching Jenkins’ office, engage in a conversation with him. Follow him to the lounge area and listen to his instructions. He will give you a task that involves eliminating a corporate rival, Abernathy. Accept the task and collect the cash he offers. Look for additional lore shards in his office before leaving.
Step 3: Read the Files on Your Terminal (Optional)
- Take a moment to review the files given to you by your employee. Sit at your desk and interact with the computer terminal. Browse messages, websites, and check your files for information on NUSA and Militech. This step is optional but provides interesting background information.
Step 4: Use Jenkins’ AV
- After leaving Jenkins’ office, collect any remaining lore shards in the lounge before heading towards the garage. Your boss allows you to use the company flying car. Enjoy the perks and fly out into Night City.
Step 5: Head to Lizzie’s and Meet Jackie
- As you arrive near Lizzie’s Bar, some punks might try to provoke you. You can choose to confront them if you wish. Enter the bar and talk to the bouncer to gain access. Explore the back rooms and balcony area before descending to the main floor. Sit down with Jackie in a booth and discuss recent events. Unfortunately, trouble arrives, and you’ll be forced to leave your corporate life behind.
Step 6: Continue to the Optional Tutorial or First Full Mission
- At this point, you have two options. You can embark on the optional tutorial called Practice Makes Perfect to familiarize yourself with the game mechanics, or you can proceed directly to your first full mission, The Rescue. Choose the path that suits your playstyle.
Following these steps will help you navigate through the Corpo-Rat prologue mission in Cyberpunk 2077. Make your choices carefully, as they will shape the path your character takes in Night City. Embrace the chaos and intrigue of the corporate world as you embark on your journey in this futuristic dystopia.
