Forward To Death Walkthrough
This page is part of IGN's Cyberpunk 2077 Wiki Guide and details everything you need to know about completing the Forward To Death Main Job.
From defeating the Militech forces at the attack site to escorting Mitch and Carol to the control room, we have you covered in our complete Forward To Death walkthrough.
Forward To Death Walkthrough
Continuing straight on from We Gotta Live Together, follow Panam as she leads you down to the rest of the clan, who are just about ready to head out. Once you reach Saul, he'll you that he has learned some pretty interesting information and will hand you a Shard that contains details of their reconnaissance mission at the construction site.
Use the Drone to Scan the Construction Site
Upon slotting in the Shard, you'll now take control of the drone used during their recon mission. As the drone travels around the construction site, you'll have the option to scan certain aspects of the site, such as their communications tower and main gate as it will allow you to gather even more information so you're not going into battle completely blind. This particular part of the mission is fairly straightforward, and you will be prompted with a waypoint marker for each area you need to scan.Once you've scanned enough of the items and are happy with what you have seen, take out the shard and you'll return to the Aldecaldos camp.Once you've removed the Shard, we highly recommend gearing up for the raid now, as you won't be given much time later on. If you're ready to go, speak with Saul and Panam and inform them that you are ready to go. Following Panam, head towards the Panzer and climb in once you're ready.
Follow Saul
With the engines roaring, it's finally time to hit the gas and follow Saul through the Badlands as you make your way towards the Militech construction site. As you reach the site entrance, the Panzer will malfunction and come to a complete stop.As instructed by Panam, use your Sniper Rifle to destroy the wave of incoming drones as they attempt to attack the Panzer and your fellow clan members. Having dealt with the wave of drones, Panam will eventually be able to get the Panzer back up and running. Climbing back inside, continue forward as you follow Saul.
Ram your Way through the Bridge
As you near the bridge, you'll encounter several drones and Militech soldiers blocking the path. Using the Panzer's machine gun, take them out with ease and push through the two sets of barriers that block the bridge.
Eliminate All Enemies in the Area - 0/11
Once you've crossed the bridge, you'll find yourself face-to-face with a large group of soldiers that are blocking the main gate. Standing no chance against the Panzer, unleash your firepower upon them as you defeat all 11 enemies in the area and ram through the seal gate. As you make it through the gate, the Panzer will finally disable.
Neutralize All Enemies - 0/8
With the cars and construction site materials as cover, use Panam's Sniper Rifle - it'll help you take little to no damage to neutralize all eight enemies that can be found towards the end of the area, battling it out with the rest of the clan.You will encounter six drones patrolling the area, along with two Militech soldiers that can be found standing on the set of stairs that lead to the control room.
Escort Mitch and Carol
Once all of the enemies in the area have been defeated, wait for Mitch and Carol to arrive. Once they're here, follow them up the nearby set of stairs as you escort them to the control room above as they attempt to hack into the system and activate the SERC system.
Neutralize Militech's Forces - 0/20
While escorting Mitch and Carol, you'll watch as 20 Militech forces descend upon the area.The most important thing that we learnt during our playthrough for this particular section was to simply always be on the move, picking off soldiers one-by-one and using the environment around you for cover.
The use of quickhacks also proved quite helpful, along with grenades, especially when enemies were clumped together.Having defeated all 20 forces, you'll know you'll receive a small break in between reinforcements.
Neutralize Militech's Forces - 0/13
Much like the Militech forces' wave before, this one is no different, just stay on the move and use cover to slowly pick off the enemies.
Once the Mech arrives, you'll want to use the construction site to your advantage. We found that we were often able to get the Mech trapped behind large pallets and other construction site materials. While stuck, this allowed us to pump as much of our rounds into the Mech as possible.
Enter the Basilisk and Intercept Militech's Strike Team
With the Militech ground forces finally disposed of, it's time to take Militech down once and for all.
Following the waypoint marker outside of the construction site, you'll soon spot the incoming Militech forces.
Neutralize Militech's Strike Team - 0/11
First things first, you'll want to destroy the incoming drones.
Tip: This particular level can quickly go downhill very quickly if you manage to take too much damage from the missile trucks, so be sure to move around during this objective continually.
With the drones taken care of, it's time to deal with the missile strike vehicles.You can find a missile truck on either side of the entrance, along the rock walls, and the fifth missile truck can be found right next to the bridge that's located directly in front of the gate.
Drive Into the Tunnel
Having taken care of Militech's Strike Team, Mitch and Panam will thank you for your help and offer you a place in the Panzerboy ranks.With the area now clear, use the Panzer to destroy the tunnel's entrance. Now clear, it's time to continue with the job as you drive into the tunnel.Setting the Panzer on auto-pilot, listen as Panam talks with you about Alt and the mission to come.
