Cyberpunk 2077 Full Disclosure Quest Guide

In the neon-drenched streets of Night City, side quests like Full Disclosure offer players a chance to dive deeper into Cyberpunk 2077’s rich narrative while earning valuable rewards. This guide provides a complete walkthrough, from triggering the quest to optimizing outcomes for maximum eddies, experience points, and street cred. Whether you’re stealthing through a scavenger hideout or leveraging high Intelligence for dialogue wins, we’ve got the strategies to succeed.

Quest Overview and Prerequisites

Full Disclosure is a side job available in Act 2 of Cyberpunk 2077, set in the Watson district, specifically Kabuki. It revolves around Sandra Dorsett, the techie you rescued earlier in the main story during ‘The Rescue’ mission. To unlock it, complete the main job ‘Double Life’ (also known as ‘Double Like’ in some references), after which Sandra contacts you via message with coordinates to retrieve her stolen databank.

This quest emphasizes player choice: decisions about inspecting the databank and your honesty in conversations directly impact rewards. Base rewards include experience points (XP), street cred, and eddies (Night City’s currency), with optimal paths yielding up to 1760 eddies, 257 XP, 577 Street Cred, and an epic quickhack like Synapse Burnout. No specific lifepath is required, making it accessible to Streetkid, Nomad, or Corpo V.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 1: Receive the Call and Head to the Scav Hideout

Once in Act 2, wait for Sandra’s text message detailing the scavenger den holding her databank. The location is marked on your map in Kabuki, Watson—a rundown building infested with hostile scavs (scavengers who harvest cyberware from victims). Approach cautiously; the area is guarded, and alarms can summon reinforcements.

Key tip: Park your vehicle at a safe distance to avoid drawing attention. Scan the building with your Kiroshi optics to tag enemies and spot entry points.

Step 2: Infiltrate the Building

The hideout features multiple entry options, each with pros and cons. Stealth is recommended for preserving health and loot, but combat works if your V is combat-focused. Here’s a comparison:

Recommended: Window entry for a 5-star stealth rating. Climb up, drop in silently, neutralize the couch scav with a takedown, then flank the armchair guard. The databank is in the red-lit room ahead, marked by a yellow icon.

Step 3: Locate and Secure the Databank

Inside the red room, find the databank on a table next to an armchair. Loot it immediately—a shard named ‘Operation Carpe Noctem.’ Do not call Sandra while indoors; exit the building first (via window or door) to enable the phone option.

Decision point: Inspect the shard? Access your Journal > Shards, scroll to the bottom, and select ‘Crack security’ if you have Intelligence 9+. Reading reveals Sandra’s involvement in a corporate conspiracy with Night Corp, including daemons and ‘Operation Carpe Noctem’ entries (36-38 in her apartment later). This knowledge unlocks better dialogue but risks lower rewards if mishandled.

Step 4: Contact Sandra and Meet at Her Apartment

Once outside, open your phone (hold down), select Sandra, and call. She’ll direct you to her apartment in Watson. Head there via the map marker. Before entering, decide your approach based on whether you peeked:

• Didn’t peek: Honest delivery yields standard rewards.
• Peeked but lie: She detects it; only 300 eddies.
• Peeked and admit: Congratulate her for bonus eddies; high Intelligence (9+) enables netrunning dialogue for max payout.

Inside, hand over the databank. Optimal dialogue: Admit peeking, congratulate on her daemon work, pass Intelligence check to discuss tech details, then offer to deactivate a turret (if applicable). Avoid blackmail—she attacks.

Reward Breakdown and Optimization

Your choices dictate payouts. Here’s the full matrix:

Max strategy: Peek, congratulate, pass Int check. Post-quest, loot her apartment for extra shards detailing her story— she’s fleeing Night Corp after exposing their ops. Short circuit her turret if present for bonus loot.

Advanced Tips and Strategies

• Build Synergy: Intelligence 9+ is key for max rewards; pair with Quickhacking for scav takedowns (e.g., Short Circuit, Synapse Burnout).
• Stealth Loadout: Silenced weapons, crouched movement, distract with ping quickhack.
• Combat Backup: If detected, prioritize the armchair scav; use cover in the red room.
• Missable Content: Ignore the quest too long? It may expire—check active jobs regularly.
• Lore Dive: Databank ties into broader Night City conspiracies; read apartment entries for Sandra’s full arc.
