Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Is Out and Here Is What You Need to Do to Get Into the DLC

Fans no longer need to wait for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty as the DLC is finally here.  The new DLC is dropping around the same time as the free update Cyberpunk 2077 2.0. With the introduction of a whole new city in Phantom Liberty, players can’t wait to jump into the action.

It’s no secret that players will get to meet actor Idris Elba as Solomon Reed to take on a special mission. And it’s now revealed that players don’t need to progress the original game to enter Dogcity.

How to access the Phantom Liberty DLC in Cyberpunk 2077?

It is not mandatory for players to play the original storyline of Cyberpunk 2077. However, many players would like to carry on their characters into Dogtown.

For players looking to access the Phantom Liberty DLC with an existing character, they will need to progress through the main questline to reach Pacifica. The steps are as follows:

1. Play Through Main Quests: Players must progress through the main quests in Cyberpunk 2077, which may take around 10 hours to reach Pacifica.
2. Reach Pacifica: Specifically, players need to reach the part of the game where they rescue Evelyn and leave her in Judy’s care.
3. Wait for Mr. Hands: After leaving Evelyn in Judy’s care, players should wait for Mr. Hands to call with a job related to the Voodoo Boys. This may take in-game hours.
4. Follow the Quest: Accept Mr. Hands’ job and proceed with the quest titled “I Walk the Line.”
5. Meet Songbird: After completing “I Walk the Line,” the player’s character will receive a call from Songbird, directing them to meet her at the entrance to Dogtown, which will be marked on the map.
6. Begin Phantom Liberty: Once the player’s character meets Songbird, the opening mission of the Phantom Liberty DLC will play out similarly to starting a new character, allowing them to explore the new story in Dogtown.

New players can access the Phantom Liberty DLC too

One of the best things about this expansion is that new players can directly jump into the Phantom Liberty DLC. Players don’t need to play through the original storyline of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s as easy as making a new character and getting into the game.

To simplify things, here is how players can access the Phantom Liberty DLC in Cyberpunk 2077:

1. Start a New Game: Players have the option to commence a new game from the beginning or continue with their existing character. To access the DLC content, it is recommended to start a new game.
2. Skip to Phantom Liberty: During character creation, players will be prompted to choose whether to start the game normally or skip ahead to the Phantom Liberty expansion content. Selecting the option to skip ahead grants access to the DLC.
3. Character Customization: Customize the player’s character as usual, including selecting the difficulty level, background, and build.
4. Introduction: The player’s character starts at level 15 with $20,000. They are reading a book when Songbird (Somi) calls and directs them to Dogtown’s entrance, marked on the map.
5. Enter Dogtown: Players need to make their way to the entrance of Dogtown, whether by sneaking through or going in guns blazing. Upon reaching the garage gate on the other side of the courtyard, they will meet Songbird.
6. Storyline Begins: Songbird will inform the player’s character that the president is in danger and request their help after the plane they are on crash-lands in Dogtown. The DLC storyline commences at this point.

Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion includes an Easter egg to make things more fun. To trigger the easter egg, players need to let Myers die during the DLC intro. Once that is done, a special cutscene will begin and players will be greeted by Johnny Silverhand. Johnny will then give out a message after which players will be unable to enter Dogtown.

The release of the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC is making many fans forget the game’s disheartening launch. Will the DLC have the same impact on you? Let us know in the comments below.
