Follow our Cyberpunk 2077 walkthrough for the Old Friends gig in Heywood. Learn how to neutralize Karubo Barei Sanguinario, with optional objectives and rewards.
Walkthrough
- 1Make your way to Karubo's bar in Vista Del Rey, Heywood.
- 2Scan all enemies, including Karubo, to make neutralization easier.
- 3Optional: Neutralize Karubo without raising the alarm.
- Method 1 (Quickhacks): If you have legendary Ping, ping any Valentino, go outside, and use a quickhack like Suicide on Karubo.
- 4Method 2 (Silenced Weapon from Roof): Climb onto the roof, find a skylight, and shoot Karubo in the head with a silenced weapon.
- 5Method 3 (Technical Ability Door): Circle to the back of the building and use a Technical Ability 16 door to enter the kitchen. From there, you can use a silenced weapon, quickhack, or takedown.
- 6Optional: Deliver Karubo alive. If you manage to neutralize Karubo without killing him, the objective changes to carrying him to a waiting vehicle. This is difficult, especially if you can't access the back door, but rewards approximately 50% more eddies.
- 7After dealing with Karubo, return to the bar and loot.
- 8Access Points:
- Two Access Points are found on arcade machines in the dining area.
- 9A third Access Point is on the roof (Intelligence 8).
- 10From the roof, you can climb down a ladder into an interior room guarded by a Valentino. This bypasses a Body 12 or Technical Ability 8 check for a door on the other side and contains minor loot.
- 11Head to the back room (adjacent to the kitchen) where the Technical Ability 16 door opens.
- 12In this back room, you'll find a container with the Gig's legendary drop and a microwave with the fourth and final Access Point (Intelligence 8).
Tips
- Scanning all enemies, including Karubo, makes the mission easier.
- Legendary Ping is highly effective for stealthy takedowns.
- Using the ladder on the roof bypasses certain skill checks for accessing an interior room.
- Delivering Karubo alive offers a significant monetary reward but is challenging.
