Alright, let's talk about 'The Beast in Me,' a side job in Cyberpunk 2077 where you get to hit the streets for some high-octane racing. It all kicks off after you and Judy Álvarez help Evelyn Parker out of a tight spot with the Scavengers. That's when Claire Russell, a mechanic with a need for speed, reaches out to you, V. She's looking for a driver for some street races and figures you, being a reliable mercenary, are just the person for the job. She wants you to meet her at her garage, Claire's Garage, on Valley Street in Arroyo, Santo Domingo, during the day. When you get there, you'll find Claire tinkering with her ride, which she introduces as the "Beast." She explains the race setup: it's all about pairs, with one driver and one gunner. Claire fancies herself more of a gearhead and shooter, hence needing a driver like you. She also mentions her past driver tragically died during a race a year ago. If you agree to be Claire's driver: Claire will lay out the plan: four races in total. The first is in the City Center, followed by the Badlands, then Santo Domingo, and finally, the big one in Westbrook. She mentions prize money for first place, which you'll split equally. You get to choose which vehicle you'll enter with. A key detail: to even get into the final race in Watson, you'll need to finish in the top three in at least two of the qualifying races. Claire will then ask you to wait for her call to meet up for the first race in City Center. If you refuse to be Claire's driver: Well, if you decide this isn't for you, you can decline Claire's offer. She'll try to convince you, but if you're set on not driving, you'll forfeit the job. ### City Center Race The next morning, Claire will text you the location for the first race in the City Center. It'll start on Martin Luther King Boulevard and Skyline East in Vista del Rey, weaving through Corpo Plaza, and finishing at the Wellsprings Docks in Wellsprings. ### Badlands Race Two days after the City Center race, Claire will hit you up again with coordinates for the second race on Brooklands street in the Laguna Bend Reservoir, out in the Badlands. This time, Claire insists you use her "Beast" – she wants to test it out herself. ### Santo Domingo Race A day after the Badlands race, Claire calls for the final qualifying race in Santo Domingo. She'll have you meet at Brandon and Wollesen Street in Arroyo. Good news: for this one, Claire lets you pick your own ride. If Claire and V qualify for the final race: If you've managed to secure a spot in the top three in at least two races, you're in for the final race in Watson. If you agreed to help Claire with her personal vendetta against Sampson, she'll contact you for the final race. If you just want to race and put Sampson aside, Claire understands and will still call you for the final race. However, if you refused to help Claire deal with Sampson, you'll be out of the team.
