Gig: A Lack of Empathy is a Gig in Cyberpunk 2077.
Walkthrough[]
This gig requires you to enter a club called Empathy, which has a whole lot of Animals around the place. If you enter through the main scanner (to the left after walking in the front door), one of the guards will stop you, telling you to check your weapons in the container. If you want to avoid a fight in the entire club (which is one of the optional objectives in this mission), you have to deposit your weapons. Alternatively, you can enter through a door to the right of the entrance room, navigating through a set of private backrooms with several hackable computers before entering the club proper without relinquishing your weapons.
Once you are in the club proper, head through until you reach an area called "Private", which leads upstairs to the computer room where you need to go to upload the malware. You will need to sneak past one of the Animals guards on duty, and you do not want to let him spot you. Sneak up to the computer room beyond, and you will see another Animals guard with his back turned to you. Either take him out however you wish and stuff his body in the nearby container, or just upload the malware.
Once you've uploaded the malware, it's time to delta out of there. You can do this in one of two ways. You can either retrace your steps and head back the way you came, collecting your weapons before you go, or you can slip out the back door of the computer room where you can drop into the lot below. This will fulfill the "Leave the club" objective, after which you can circle around the building before heading back into the entrance and retrieving your gear again. Once that's done, all you need to do is head for the drop point to complete the gig.
Journal Entry[]
- Meet Adam Ibrahimovic and Larry Fanghorn. Adam's the bad guy and Larry's our client.
- Once upon a time the two friends opened a club called Empathy and things got off the ground pretty quickly. The eddies poured in, their popularity surged, they were surrounded by hordes of young ladies and one question at the back of their minds - who's got their hand in who's pocket? Adam or Larry?
- The blame fell on our innocent, naive Larry.
- What does Adam do? He changes the club's access codes, made a few shady deals and hired Animals as bouncers. If you were Larry, wouldn't you be pissed?
- Here's what you're gonna do. You'll break into Empathy, upload the attached virus to their net and bring the club's operations to a standstill. Empathy won't budge an inch until Adam welcomes his ol' pal Larry back with open arms.
- Sounds like a breeze, right? Just keep things quiet, no witnesses and everyone'll be happy.
