Cyberpunk 2077 The Pickup Walkthrough
The Pickup is the 5th main story mission in Cyberpunk 2077 (CP77). This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives, paths, dialogues, choices (best choices and worst choices) and endings of The Pickup Main Job.
Area: Watson
Quest Giver: Dex
Requirement: Complete The Ride
Reward: XP / Street Cred, If you kill Royce: Chaos pistol, Spiked Maelstrom Short-Sleeve Jacket
Mission Info: Know what I like about your run-of-the-mill gangoons? They know what they like. Cash, sex, power… maybe just the sight of their enemies’ blood. Real rays of sunshine, they are. But these Maelstrom cabrones… shit, never can be sure. They look at you with those creepy-ass toaster faces and you can’t get a read of ’em, got no clue what twisted thoughts are racin’ through their processors. You ask me, that’s why biz with Maelstrom never turns out pleasant. But… sometimes there’s just no gettin’ around it. Let’s grab that spiderbot, yeah? Make Dex proud.
A Lilitech corpo-cunt lost an arms shipment, and if she doesn’t find it, she’ll be paddling up shit-creek with stumps for hands. I’m betting it’s not even about the weapons – Militech could lose a tank and it’d make no difference to them. It’s about principles. One thing’s for damn sure – someone’s talking the fall for this.
Turns out Meredith Stout will do anything to stay in the corp’s good graces. Unfortunately that means her “colleague” might get demoted… or worse. All in all, Militech recovered their property, putting the Maelstrom freaks in a shittier mood than usual. A day like any other in Night City.
