The Heist

The Heist is a main job in Cyberpunk 2077. The job has Jackie and V infiltrate Konpeki Plaza to steal an experimental bio-chip from Yorinobu Arasaka.

Walkthrough
After you got the flathead and the information from Evelyn Parker, you're now ready to start the job Dexter DeShawn hired you and Jackie for.

Head out to The Afterlife to meet up with Jackie and talk to him for a bit before heading into the club. The bouncer will eventually let you in regardless of the option you choose. As Dex is still busy, you can look around some but ultimately you'll need to go sit down at the bar with Jackie and can talk a bit more with him and the bartender, Claire, before Dex's bodyguard summons you.

Heist Briefing
Follow Jackie to the back room where Dex and T-Bug are waiting to go over the heist's details. You can have a quick conversation with T-Bug before placing the flathead in the case if you want. Once you do, sit and Dex will begin to ask you some questions, particularly about Evelyn, who you can reveal wanted to cut out the middleman or not. Regardless, Dex will eventually direct you to a shard on the table, take it as Dex and T-Bug continue to fill you in on the plan.

Ask all the questions you want, then Jackie will bring up how the pay is being split. Dex notes you and Jackie get 30% but you can have him bump it up to 35% if you point out this is about more then eddies, that you want to be remembered for something. After Dex heads off, you can then talk to T-Bug some more before she also heads out. Jackie will then ask if you're ready or not. Note that once you get in the cab, you won't be able to return to exploring Night City and finish other missions until Act 2, so if you need to wrap anything else up before then, do it now.

Infiltrating the Hotel
Once you're ready, put on the suit and get in the taxi. After some banter between it and Jackie, it'll verify your identity and then drive you to the hotel. On the way, you can talk to Jackie some about how he's acting regarding this job. Once you arrive, follow Jackie once he gets the flathead out and head in through the scanner and then check in. At one point you'll pass the hotel's bar, which you can choose to check out alone if you want (Jackie will refuse and heads upstairs if you look around).

Once upstairs and in the room, T-Bug will ask you to scan for the entry point for the flathead to use, which is right in the corner between the terrarium and the window. Jackie will command it initially but eventually you'll be asked to control the flathead as it got stuck and Jackie's not fully upgraded. The flathead fully navigates itself, you just need to tell it which vent to use, but some rooms you'll have to cause diversions to get to the vent without it being seen.

Eventually the flathead reaches the area outside the dweller, where you'll have to do a mix of scanning a particular object and then manually switch cams to see inside the dweller's room to find a way for the flathead to get inside. Once it's in, T-Bug needs a few hours to get around their security so go sit and it'll fast forward to night.

When you awake, Jackie will be questioning why Yorinobu even tried to leave his family as he could want for nothing under the Arasaka name, but instead tried to start a gang, to which you can answer however you want. T-Bug will then note it's time, so head out to the elevator, which will give you direct access to the penthouse. While they'll press to make it quick, you can still look around and loot stuff if you wish before joining Jackie at the safe's location. Once ready, join Jackie and as T-Bug is uploading to it, you'll see some unexpected guests arriving by aircraft. To make things worse, as Jackie gets the case, T-Bug warns you Yorinobu is heading too quickly to the penthouse so you need to hide fast. Head behind the TV screen where she'll open the panel here, and get in.

A scene will play out with Yorinobu entering with Adam Smasher before they're unexpectedly joined by his father, Saburo Arasaka and his own bodyguard, Goro Takemura. After dismissing the two bodyguards, things go awry between the son and father and Yorinobu kills Saburo before initiating a hotel lockdown, claiming someone poisoned his father.

Escaping
Taking the elevator is out, so T-Bug will direct you instead to the balcony to try and get to a ladder there. However, just as she gets the doors opened, she's killed on her end. Head out and around and walk across the thin railing here, but halfway across hostile forces will spot you and you have no choice but to jump. After a short dialogue scene, Jackie will plug the Relic into himself to keep it safe while you both try to escape the hotel.

You'll have to go through a number of areas where a couple guards are in each, or more if you decide to enter combat with them. The first elevator you reach won't be accessible as you need an access token to do so. As you reach the second elevator location, you'll spot the officer who's carrying it here and you need to take him out (lethal or non-lethal) to get the token. Once you have it, access the elevator and you can talk a bit more to Jackie before you reach the hotel's lobby area with more guards.

Whichever way you manage to get back to the entrance, take the elevator here to your cab, which will be under fire, so run and get in and it'll take off. However, Adam Smasher isn't letting you go that easy and will pursue you with a couple drones, so you'll need to fire at them from the car to stop their pursuit. Unfortunately for Jackie, his injuries are too severe and after he hands over the Relic to you, he dies. Delamain will then ask where you'd like to send his remains, and you can choose from a few options. After you do so, exit the vehicle to go meet Dex inside the No-Tell Motel.

Dex is none too pleased with what happened, as the offing of the emperor is all over the news now. He'll eventually agree though that escaping Night City is the best option here before sending you off to go wash the blood off your face. Once you do and leave the bathroom though, his bodyguard knocks you down before Dex shoots you in the head.

Journal Entry
