Cyberpunk 2077 Mission List: All Main Story Missions for 2.0 and Phantom Liberty

by Alex Donaldson on 14 October, 2023

The question of how many quests there are in Cyberpunk 2077 is a little bit of a complicated one, since the story of this sprawling action RPG isn't exactly one-to-three linear. In truth, the game can be completed by finishing few quests - or by getting deep into a number of quest lines. This Mission List will help you to make sure you hit all of the 'main' story missions in the game, updated for Version 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty expansion.

Cyberpunk 2077 Mission List & Story Structure Explained

You can think of Cyberpunk 2077's main missions and story as split into four distinct 'acts'. There's the Prologue, Act 1, Act 2, and the Epilogue.

These are deeply uneven in how they're spread - the Prologue is a handful of missions, Act 1 is similar, but then Act 2 makes up the lion's share of Cyberpunk 2077. Act 3 kicks off once you open up the last mission, and consists of the final missions and endings of the game, plus the chance to tick off any side content you haven't yet completed.

We've broken the Mission List for the main story-driven missions of Cyberpunk 2077 into categories based on that structure:

The Prologue Mission List

  • Your Life Path Quest (one of these three, as determined by your life path choice) 
    • The Nomad
    • The Street Kid
    • The Corpo
  • Practice Makes Perfect
  • The Rescue
  • The Gig (Complete some side content until Act 1 unlocks)

Act 1 Mission List

Act 1 is all about V and Jackie preparing for their heist, a gig that's their shot at becoming part of the Night City big-time. It's also your first chance to engage in side content, which is not listed here.

  • The Ripperdoc
  • The Ride
    • The Information
    • The Pickup
  • The Heist
  • Love Like Fire

Act 2 Mission List

  • Playing for Time

After Playing For Time, three main quest lines will kick off. Each features some key characters for your Cyberpunk 2077 journey, and each leads to a string of new missions. While it's possible to progress to the endings by completing a handful of these quest lines, completing them all will unlock more options in the final stages of the game.

Many of these storylines don't entirely wrap up in the 'main missions', either - Judy and Panam will call you for further quests and story development after their main quest is over, for instance, which can lead to romances.

  • Automatic Love (Judy, Clouds, & the Mox quest line)
    • The Space In Between
    • Disasterpiece
    • Double Life
    • M'ap Taan Pelen
    • I Walk The Line
    • Transmission
    • Never Fade Away
  • Ghost Town (Panam & Aldecados quest line)
    • Lightning Breaks
    • Life During Wartime
  • Down on the Street (Takemura & Arasaka quest line)
    • Gimmie Danger
    • Play it Safe (must have completed the previous Takemura quests and Panam's 'Life During Wartime').
    • Search and Destroy
  • Tapeworm (Must have completed all three major storylines)

Phantom Liberty Mission List

Phantom Liberty can be started at any point during Act 2 after the quests involving the Voodoo Boys. Once started, you'll be trapped in Dogtown for a few missions, then given access to Night City again - meaning you can weave this spy thriller in and out of the rest of your Cyberpunk 2077 adventure. The Phantom Liberty main Mission List is as follows:

  • Phantom Liberty (unlocks after you complete Transmission and Never Fade Away, which is reached via the Judy mission thread)
    • Dog Eat Dog
    • Hole in the Sky
    • Spider and the Fly
    • Lucretia My Reflection
    • The Damned
    • Get It Together
    • You Know My Name
    • Birds With Broken Wings
    • I've Seen That Face Before
    • Firestarter
    • Ending Choice Path 1:
      • The Killing Moon
        • Path 1.1: Unfinished Sympathy / From Her to Eternity
        • Path 1.2: Through Pain to Heaven / Who Wants To Live Forever / Things Done Changed
    • Ending Choice Path 2:
      • Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos
        • Path 2.1: Somewhat Damaged / Leave in Silence
        • Path 2.2: Somewhat Damaged / Leave in Silence / Four Score and Seven / Who Wants to Live Forever / Things Done Changed

Act 3 & Epilogue Mission List

At the end of the game, you'll trigger the quest Nocturne OP55N1, which is the point of no return. You can go off to complete any other quests you like and explore the city, complete your collection of Cars and Iconic Weapons, and when ready you can trigger the final missions.

Depending on your choices, there's a range of quests available to you. We detail this in full in our Cyberpunk 2077 Endings guide - but here's the mission list in brief:

  • Nocturne Op55N1 (The point of no return)
    • Ending it on the Rooftop
