Learn how to defeat Buck in the Beat on the Brat: Arroyo quest in Cyberpunk 2077. Get tips on his weaknesses, strategy, and the rewards you'll earn.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find Buck north of the Megabuilding H4 fast travel terminal in the Arroyo district.
  2. 2
    Talk to Buck. You can choose to fight him for eddies alone, or mention his rifle to make him wager both money and his weapon.
  3. 3
    Engage Buck in combat. He's a fairly easy opponent, lacking special abilities like Charge Jump or Sandevistan. If you have a Sandevistan or invested in Body, this fight should be a breeze. He might use healing items, so be prepared for that.
  4. 4
    After the fight, if you bet his gun, Buck will renege and his goons will attack. He'll be healed but fight the same way. This time, you don't need to hold back – use your best weapon to defeat Buck and his buddies.
  5. 5
    Loot O’Five, Buck’s iconic weapon, from the barrels near where you first spoke to him.
  6. 6
    If you didn't bet his gun, Buck will be upset. You can provoke him further, appeal to his non-existent sportsmanship, or just leave. You won't get his gun if you didn't challenge him for it or provoke him after the fight.
Tips
  • Buck is one of the easiest fighters in the Beat on the Brat questline due to his lack of special abilities and the relatively large fighting area.
  • If you plan on getting his iconic rifle, O’Five, make sure to mention it during the initial dialogue to up the stakes.
  • Be ready for a second fight against Buck and his goons if you win the gun bet. They're not as tough as they look, but it's an extra challenge.
  • Eddies (amount varies based on bet)
  • Buck's Iconic Weapon: O’Five (if you win the gun bet and defeat his goons)
