In Cyberpunk 2077 you’ll need money for the shops, buying cars, completing jobs, and entering tournaments. If you need some extra cash for your adventure early on, try these tips. This how-to guide has also been updated for Cyberpunk 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty expansion.

Sell Your Junk!

Early on, pick up everything. There's a chance some of the junk you find is worth over $750! Every eddie counts early on. The junk you find around Night City isn’t “owned” by anyone either, so no one cares if you take it from a public place.

Most junk and consumables don’t weigh anything either, so there’s no penalty for stuffing your pockets with these useful things.

You can sell junk in bulk at any shop with the press of a button (check the bottom right corner of your screen when you’re in a shop menu) and you can sell other items, too. If you’re not going to get into crafting, consider selling extra weapons instead of disassembling them.

Remember, Night City is littered with Drop Stations, the yellow stations (of varying size) marked on your map by a box. You can quickly sell your junk there.

Take Care of Reported Crimes

Complete NCPD Reported Crimes around the map. You’ll not only get paid for these quick jobs that earn you XP for your chosen playstyle, but you’ll often find other goods you can sell after. Some NCPD Reported Crimes are split into multiple parts, so make sure you see them through completely for your full reward.

Some of these are faster to complete than others, especially if you’re running in and gunning. Assault in Progress should never take more than a few minutes, but the others can take more time due to the sheer number of enemies usually involved.

Stealing from the System

Use quickhacking often and get at least level 5 Intelligence. Then, unlock Advanced Datamine perk in Breach Protocol to increase the amount of money you make from Access Points (these can be found most often in enemy territory as control panels, laptops, antenna, and more) by 50%. There’s another level of this to upgrade the money you make by 100%.

If you hack and unlock at least one or two Datamine sequences with the first level of Advanced Datamine, you should make $600+ each time. The reward is random, though, but most times we’ve hacked we’ve received money as a reward along with components.

Earn Unlimited Money (and Crafting XP)

A great way to earn money and XP in Cyberpunk is by finding a reliable farming spot. YouTuber Radical Dave Gaming did just that with a spot by the pier in Pacifica!

To get to this location, start from the Batty's Hotel fast travel point in Pacifica (it's located right near the Chapel fast travel point on its western side).

From here, take one of your vehicles down the road toward the water and continue following the road as it curves left. Follow this road until there's a path on your right you can take onto the beach. Hop out here, and you'll see several groups of enemies camped out along the shoreline. Equip your weapon, and get ready to rumble, picking up the weapons and gear that they drop along the way.

When you've cleared the area, head back over to your vehicle and drive underneath the pier, then do a full turnaround to head back to the beach. It will have reloaded with enemies again, so you can keep going! Once you've collected as many items as you can, go off and sell them to earn yourself some Eddies.
