Chippin' In (quest)

Chippin' In is a side job given by Johnny Silverhand in.

This quest's dialogue choices with Johnny near the end can determine if the secret ending becomes available or not. Also, depending on choices made during this quest, Blistering Love may not be available, which can lock out the ability to build up your relationship further with Johnny, and not being able to do Rogue's ending path.

Walkthrough
After Search and Destroy and another part of Tapeworm, Johnny will eventually ask to allow him to control your body so he can explain everything to Rogue to get her to help him take out Adam Smasher. To do so, head to the Afterlife and after talking with Johnny, take the vitamin to allow him control.

The game will technically cut to A Cool Metal Fire though this doesn't show up in notifications. After all the scenes are done with and you talked to Johnny about the night's events, you'll return back to this main part of the quest and will need to wait a day for Rogue to get back to.

Ebunike
After the wait period is up, Rogue will call and reveal Ebunike is an old container ship docked in Night City and to meet her back at the Afterlife to discuss it further. Head over and after a short conversation with Crispin Weyland, follow Rogue out to her car where she'll give you a Replica of Johnny's Samurai jacket that you'll automatically put on. Hop into Rogue's car where you can talk to her for a bit as she drives you up to Northside's docks where the ship is. If it's still daytime, she'll want to wait until dark so there's not so many eyes lurking about so time will skip ahead for you.

When it's time, follow Rogue to sneak closer to the base, before eventually you'll be given the objective to find the dataterm. At this point you can decide to continue sneaking around or just do a full assault. Regardless how you do it, once you get to the dataterm, read the messages to learn they should be hiding on the nearby ship. Make your way over there and up the flight of stairs. There's a few areas of interest you can come across, like a dead woman's body, stolen weapons, a recording on the computer, and drugs that opens up some dialogue with Rogue and Johnny, but not much else.

If you've been sneaking, note there are a few guards up here on the far end, but no matter what you do, once you get close enough they'll automatically detect you're there and enter combat mode, with Jeremiah Grayson in attendance. Once you take him down, you can question Grayson, who'll insinuate Rogue was actually on the same side as him at one point and there's more to the story on why she wasn't hunted down and killed after the Arasaka Tower bombing, but if you ask Rogue about this, she'll just note he's trying to distract from your goal to find Smasher. Eventually he reveals Smasher is back in Japan, having been promoted to head of Arasaka's security, and thus unlikely to return to Night City again. You can then ask him a bit about why he had Johnny's weapon before revealing they buried Johnny's body out in the Badlands' oil fields.

Grayson will then try to bargain his way into being spared, noting he has a special item of Johnny's you can have if you let him go. it doesn't matter if you spare or kill him here as you can still get the special item, Johnny's Porsche 911 Turbo, it'll just require finding the lock to use the access key on. How ever you dealt with him, Rogue will become upset and you'll need to talk to her for a bit before she leaves. Then talk to Johnny, who notes to let her cool down. With that, head over to the right side of the ship (the area facing the base you came through) and find the ladder to climb up to the control panel here to lower the container. Once done, head back down to ground level and open the container with the key to reveal the Porsche.

The Oilfields
Hop in the car and drive out to the northern oil fields and, once near the objective marker, Johnny will start another conversation with you. your dialogue choice here is critical to unlock Rogue's ending and the secret ending. It is not needed to reach 70% of affinity with Johnny.

To ensure you get both you need to choose a specific dialogue with Johnny. Choose the following; the rest doesn't matter:


 * "Nah, fucked that up too."
 * "What do you want from me?"
 * "Ok. But as second chances go, this is your last."

If done correctly, Johnny will then request you to call Rogue on his behalf to ask her out on a date, ending this quest and giving the side one, Blistering Love. Otherwise, he will ask you to go and see Kerry instead in Holdin' On, omitting Rogue's quest altogether.

Journal Entry
