cyberpunk-2077 – Benefits and Drawbacks of Clearing Organized Crime Activity in Cyberpunk 2077

cyberpunk-2077

There is a ton of Organized Crime Activity all over Night City, am I free to clear out the criminals as I see fit with no repercussions?

Best Answer

I saw a loading screen tooltip that stated that, in my own words, "the NCPD is far too scattered to take care of all criminal activity, so residents of Night City are encouraged to dish out some vigilante justice."

A similar tooltip explains that intervening in criminal activity can help earn some extra Streetcred, which is needed to purchase items and level up certain skills.

I have not seen any explicit drawbacks, but I would imagine that later in the game, you might be making enemies that could cause problems for you. There's also the potential of civilian damage during these battles, which is problematic for V as well.
