Run This Town is a side job in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
Walkthrough[]
Mr. Hands will call V at some point after finishing Firestarter to meet him in his suite at Heavy Hearts.
Mr. Hands is also very insistent on the importance of this mission. If V has any gigs from him already started when Run This Town is started they can be completed as normal, but if V attempts to start any new gigs within Dogtown Mr. Hands will message V saying that work can wait, and insist that V meet with him. The gig that V tried to start will be locked and cannot progress.
V says they do not want to play politics and tries to leave the room:
- Mr. Hands will lock the door and try to persuade V by doubling their usual rate. V can either accept and continue the quest, or decline and fail the job.
V eventually accepts the job:
- Mr. Hands will provide details. Mr. Hands tells V that there are two Dogtown leader candidates: Chester Bennett and Jago Szabó. Mr. Hands prefers Bennett to be the new leader, and states that Jago is "immature".
- In order to blend in and influence the Dogtown politics, Mr. Hands would like V to disguise as a highly respected Cuban cartels mercenary named Aguilar Nubiola (gender depending on V's), whose organization has a close relationship with the Dogtown leadership. Mr. Hands will provide V with a behavioral imprint, a replica of Aguilar's gun, and a replica of Aguilar's suit.
Meeting with Jago[]
After the meeting with Mr. Hands, V goes to the meeting site of Jago and Voodoo Boys. When V goes there and activate the behavioral imprint, V approached the Voodoo Boys members but was treated rudely by them. V has to take out all the threats and wait for Jago's people.
When Jago and his bodyguard arrived, they are shocked by Aguilar's showing. V, disguised as Aguilar, should discourage Jago from completing for the leadership. But Jago has his explanation.
V allows Jago to explain:
- Jago tells V that Bennett is negotiating with a dummy company backed by Arasaka and talking about collaboration, which will unlock an optional task to meet with Bennett.
Meeting with Bennett (optional)[]
If V has allowed Jago to explain, V can go to the usual meeting site between Bennett and Arasaka. After the behavioral imprint activated, V has to take out Bennett's bodyguard waiting next to the door. And Johnny will suggest V to dump the body and wait Bennett in the car.
When Bennett finished the meeting and go back to the car. V, again disguised as Aguilar, turns head around and faces Bennett. Bennett is confused and then shocked after recognized this is Aguilar in the car. And V will start talking to Bennett.
V threatens Bennett to cut ties with Arasaka:
- Bennett will turn hostile and start attacking Aguilar (V). Since V is in Aguilar's disguise, V can only use the replicated gun of Aguilar's to fight back, V cannot scan or use other weapons, implants or throwables.
- After Bennett is defeated, Jago will be considered as the leader.
V convinces Bennett to cut ties with Arasaka and says Jago will support him after the cut:
- Bennett will be convinced, V can peacefully leave. Bennett will be considered as the leader.
Hansen's Wake[]
After the meetings, V should go to Black Sapphire, where Hansen's Wake (funeral) is held. V again disguising as Aguilar, enters Black Sapphire.
V will meet Jago, who will say that he has a bad feeling since Bennett has called extra security in the venue.
