Shot by Both Sides is a Side Job in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
Walkthrough[]
After starting the job, Mr. Hands texts V for them to head to Bree Whitney's Apartment and look for a Militech card located in a safe box underneath a bamboo plant. V finds the Bamboo plant in the bedroom, and retrieves the card. As they leave the apartment, they are confronted by a neighbor of Bree's, who worries for her.
After leaving the apartment, they are instructed once more by Mr. Hands, this time to meet Bree underneath the Kress Street Apartment Building.[Notes 1]
V tracks down Bree once underground. They can scan footprints to help them track down where Bree is. They find Bree in a cave, and she leads them into Cynosure Site D. After the card doesn't work on one of the doors, an alternative route must be taken. Along this path, the rooms behind the doors Bree opens are trapped with cameras, turrets, and laser mines. The turrets will only be turned on if V is detected by a camera. V must disable these in order to move on.
They eventually get to a control room, where Bree finds videos of Evan McRay's logs at Cynosure Site D about a decade prior. After watching these videos, as they are about to leave, Bree is confronted by Militech agent Dante Caruso. As they talk, V must decide who they want to side with.
If V sides with Bree:
- If Dante Caruso is killed, V can loot his revolver Ol' Reliable. After the conversation with Bree Whitney, her power pistol Riskit can be picked up from the boxes on the right side of the room. After leaving the laboratory, Hands will call and reward V with €$5,000 for completing the original contract.
- However, he will call again about a day later, revealing that Bree was working with NetWatch and sold them the data solely for her personal gain. After another few days pass, a NetWatch hit squad of several agents will randomly appear on the streets and attack V. By that time, that hit squad would also have killed Lisa Smith - one of the remaining scientists who worked in the lab - due to information leaked to them by Bree.
If V sides with Dante:
- If Bree is killed (either by V or Dante), V can collect Riskit from the floor. Dante will then share a shard, retrieved from Bree's body. In it is revealed that she was working for NetWatch and was acting solely for her personal gain, facilitating the hit that killed Caesar Mijares, one of the scientists who worked in the lab. If V talks to Dante afterwards, he will also give a €$5,000 reward. Hands will be displeased by this deviation from the contract.
Bree and Dante both die:
- If V kills whomever survives the standoff (Bree or Dante), Database: Cynosure Site D can be acquired in addition to both Riskit and Ol' Reliable. Hands will be displeased, although he will be satisfied if V mentions the database shard. After sending it to him through a Drop Point, he will give a €$5,000 reward. Johnny will be disappointed at this choice.
