The Streetkid is a Main Job in Cyberpunk 2077. It is one of the three possible starting jobs, and is only available to players who chose the Streetkid Lifepath. V grew up in the streets of Heywood, Night City before looking for greener pastures in Atlanta. Several years later and no better off, V returns to their hometown and fatefully decides to help out a friend.
Walkthrough[]
V starts out by fixing their broken nose at the El Coyote Cojo bar located in The Glen. Pepe, the bartender, tells V that he took out a loan from Kirk Sawyer, a new small-time Fixer in town, and Kirk is threatening to break his legs if he doesn't pay soon. Pepe requests that V either talks to Kirk into either forgetting about the debt or finding another way to settle it.
V approaches Kirk and, while he refuses to forgive Pepe's debt, a deal is settled. Kirk tasks V with stealing a Rayfield Aerondight owned by a corporate from Arasaka; If V is able to steal the car, then Kirk will forget about the debt Pepe owes him, and Kirk will even pay V some extra eddies for the job. After agreeing to the deal, V drives to Westbrook where the car is located, hitching a ride with Padre, a friend and local Fixer. Despite a brief confrontation with 6th Street gangoon Sam Carter, Padre delivers V to their destination and hands V his card.
Using the service key given to V by Kirk, V unlocks the car and turns it on, bypassing the alarm systems on the car that prevents the Night City Police Department from being alerted. Things seem to be going smoothly until someone suddenly opens the door from the outside, and V finds themselves staring down the barrel of a gun wielded by Jackie Welles, who intends to take the car for himself. V is then interrupted by the sudden arrival of the NCPD and Inspector Stints, who capture both of V and Jackie and has his officers pin them to the ground. Stints criticizes the two of them on their life choices and how little has changed, but before he can take them into custody, an Arasaka corporate, Kaoru Fujioka, who owns the car, comes to see the commotion. He uses his corporate reputation to order Stints to break V's legs and dump both V and Jackie in the river to drown. The officers knocks them unconscious, but instead of following what the Araskaka corporate said, Stints instead decides to just leave both V and Jackie in a alley since he dislikes corpos as much as everyone else.
V wakes up in the alley. V and Jackie talk as V takes a moment to recover. After getting to know V and the reason why they were stealing the Aerondight he had his eyes on, Jackie says that Kirk isn't as powerful as he seems to be, and his threats against Pepe are hollow at best. Jackie then invites V to breakfast, ending the questline leading into an introduction montage of Night City.
Journal Entry[]
- Hows it feel bein' back home, V? C'mon, admit it - you missed Heywood. What, between all the dealers, hookers and total lack of opportunities, it's got its charm, don't it? You're born in Heywood, you die in Heywood. Unless you're one of the lucky ones, that is. What about you, chica/mano? That include you?
- If there were an ad for Night City, it'd have Kirk's dumb, grinning face on it. He's slick, thinks he's smarter than he really is and is kind of an asshole, but whenever you call him, he's got the next Big Job that'll rake in millions - like stealing a car from a secure parking garage. 'Cause obviously the millionaires of the future are sitting in the Coyote Cojo scarfing down chili burgers... right?
