Airdrops are a gameplay feature of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
Overview[]
The airdrop feature unlocks after starting the Lucretia My Reflection quest. The first one will spawn upon exiting the hideout on Elizabeth Kress Street for the first time. If Jacob Long is still alive, he will already be outside and point it out, suggesting V retrieves it.
Periodically when roaming around Dogtown, a distinct roaring sound made by a fast-moving AV can be heard, which will then launch an orange cache at the ground. The container will be visually marked by a bright, red smoke, as well as a loud, echoing beep emanating from it, indicating that the cache is active. Players can then approach the cache and hack it open with Breach Protocol to gain access to its contents.
Typically, the airdrop cache will be surrounded by enemies seeking to open it for themselves, and V can either fight them off or just run to the cache as fast as possible. One will also have a limited amount of time to reach the cache, as taking too long will allow enemies or other NPCs to grab the loot inside. On some occasions, the cache can already be looted but whose contents may be carried by nearby enemies, who can be killed to acquire said loot.
Only one airdrop can be active at a single given time, and will despawn after moving out of its vicinity.
There are two types of airdrops; randomized airdrops may spawn repeatedly in the same spot and unique airdrops that include shards and unique iconic loot. Unique airdrops will only occur once and will not re-occur when despawned.
Database Entry[]
AIRDROPS
The skies above Dogtown never sleep. Every now and then, AVs fly into its airspace and drop gifts for BARGHEST. Who sends the airdrops to Dogtown? It's a mystery. What's in the airdrops? Also a mystery. Want to unravel it? Take a look inside and try to survive.
Loot[]
Most airdrop caches will have randomized loot in them. Iconic weapons have fixed airdrop locations but may not appear at the first try. Additionally, there are a few hidden caches around Dogtown and Pacifica that will contain fixed loot.
The possible randomized loot is listed below.
Miscellaneous[]
- Tier 5 weapons, mods, and cyberware
