Complete the Ex-Factor side job in cyberpunk 2077. Decide whether to kill Woodman and loot his legendary Ajax.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After Judy calls, travel back to Clouds in Japantown. The Megabuilding H8 fast travel terminal is the quickest way to get there.
  2. 2
    Head up the elevator to Clouds' floor. Ensure it is before 8:00 AM.
  3. 3
    Follow the quest trail onto exterior walkways, up a ladder, and onto the terrace where Judy is waiting.
  4. 4
    Talk to Judy, and she will open the way into Maiko’s office.
  5. 5
    Inside, chat with Maiko. Your dialogue choices here do not significantly matter, but Maiko will ultimately dismiss you. Her scorn may vary based on your actions during 'Automatic Love'. If Woodman survived your previous encounter, Maiko will tell you where to find him.
  6. 6
    Leave Maiko’s office and talk to Judy. Follow her back to the elevator.
  7. 7
    If you already killed Woodman, you will ride down, chat with Judy as she schemes, and the quest will end.
  8. 8
    If you did not kill Woodman during 'Automatic Love', Judy will ask about him when you reach the elevator. If you choose the dialogue options _”We pay him no mind.”_ and _”Rather not kill him.”_, you will convince Judy to abandon her plan to kill him.
  9. 9
    If you choose the dialogue option _”We kill the motherfucker.”_, you will proceed to confront Woodman.

Killing Woodman:

  1. Ride the elevator down to the maintenance level (or skip this confrontation by going directly to the ground floor).
  2. Follow Judy to confront Woodman.
  3. After a brief conversation, you will fight Woodman. He uses melee combat and has the Combat Stim, Break Hold, Charge Jump, and Subdermal Armor abilities. He is weak to fire and can be defeated with headshots.
  4. Warning: Woodman is a tough opponent. Use fire attacks and aim for headshots.
  5. After defeating Woodman, loot him for the legendary **Ajax**.
  6. Search the maintenance area for a computer on some barrels. You can jack into it if you have Intelligence 6.
  7. Return to the elevator, ride down to the ground floor, and walk and talk with Judy.
  8. Judy will begin scheming once outside the megabuilding and promise to call you later. This concludes the Ex-Factor side job. The next job in the questline is 'Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution'.
