(Don't Fear) The Reaper

(Don't Fear) The Reaper is a main job in Cyberpunk 2077. It is the so-called "secret ending" which requires an affinity of 70% with Johnny, or can be alternatively unlocked through making specific choices at the end of Chippin' in. In order to succeed in this quest, it is recommended to reach somewhere near max level before attempting.

Walkthrough
In order to unlock this ending, V has to be indecisive in making a decision on who to call for help at the rooftop. After a certain amount of time passes, Johnny will comment that it is tough to decide who "will die for you", and proposes to enter the Arasaka Tower on their lonesome-- making this a suicide mission. This echoes with Dex's question in the beginning:

"Would you rather live in peace as Mr. Nobody... or go down for all times in a blaze of glory?"

Save is not allowed throughout combat. V will enter the building at the front gate directly, and have to fight guards who are at max level. After defeating the guards along with two Arasaka Mechs, Johnny leads V to the elevator but an access token is needed. More guards will spawn and they will have to be defeated in order for the token to be looted. As V obtains the access token, they will have to call for the lift, which will only reach after a significant amount of time, leaving V in the lobby, having to defend guards that will spawn from time to time. Enter the elevator immediately after the door opens, and select the netrunner floor.

There is only one save point after reaching the elevator, making this mission insanely difficult unless V is at least at a level of mid-40s, or even at max level. Even with decent gear it will prove a challenge to survive, as V's max HP decreases over time. Bring your best guns and armor. It is also advised to stock up on ammo and meds before proceeding, but these can also be crafted between combats (and in the elevator). Enemies spawn as the player reaches certain checkpoints, and therefore it is impossible to hide and pick them off with legendary ping. Dying at any point will result in a credit roll, which is similar to the "easy way out" ending.

Once Alt is successfully uploaded to the access point and is connected to Mikoshi, Alt will offer V a choice to either give the body to Johnny, or to keep the body. Choosing Johnny results in the New Dawn Fades ending whereas choosing V will result in the Path of Glory ending.

Trivia

 * The title of the job comes from the Blue Öyster Cult song, (Don't Fear) The Reaper.
 * Using the console command, the player can set affinity with Johnny to 70%, without having to reload a previous save.
