Cyberpunk 2077 Map — Night City Districts & Fast Travel Guide

Cyberpunk 2077 takes place primarily in Night City, a dense, vertically layered megacity on the West Coast of the former United States, plus the surrounding desert known as the Badlands. The playable area consists of 6 main urban districts plus the Badlands. With Phantom Liberty, a walled-off zone called Dogtown (within Pacifica) is added. The map is designed for both ground and vertical exploration (multi-level buildings, elevated highways, metro). Early game access is restricted mainly to Watson — other districts unlock as the story progresses.

Dogtown is a walled-off section inside Pacifica, added by the Phantom Liberty expansion. It is controlled by the Barghest militia led by Kurt Hansen. Despite being smaller than the base city districts, it is dense with activities.

Fast Travel points appear as Dataterms — green holographic map kiosks in the world, blue icons on the map. You must discover a point by getting close to it before you can teleport there. There are well over 150–190 Fast Travel points across the full map (including Dogtown).

Complete list of key Fast Travel Dataterms organized by district. You must visit each location once to unlock it for future teleportation.

The map is packed with activities and points of interest beyond Fast Travel. Here is what to look for as you explore.

How to navigate Night City efficiently and make the most of the open world.

• Progress the main story to naturally unlock more of the map. Early game access is limited mainly to Watson.
• Use vehicles for efficient travel between districts. Fast Travel for long distances once Dataterms are unlocked.
• District difficulty roughly increases as you move away from Watson. Pacifica and parts of the Badlands are more dangerous early on.
• Always stop near Dataterms while exploring — you never know when you'll need a quick escape route.
• Interactive maps (external sites) are extremely useful for 100% completion (Iconic weapons, Tarot cards, Relic points, etc.).
• Dogtown is dense with activities despite its smaller size — worth thorough exploration once unlocked.
• The map has significant verticality — check rooftops, balconies, underground passages and multi-level buildings for hidden content.
• Cyberpsycho sightings scale with your level — revisit areas later for harder (more rewarding) encounters.
• Fixer gigs often chain into each other — completing one may unlock new gigs from the same Fixer.
• NCPD Scanner Hustles with skull icons frequently drop iconic weapon crafting specs — don't skip them.

Each district runs on its own fixer, its own gangs and its own activity mix. Gig counts below exclude the cyberpsycho sightings, which get their own column; later patches added extra jobs, so treat the totals as close approximations. NCPD hustle counts are base-game tallies of the 156 total — they cluster thickest in Watson (37) and Santo Domingo (29), while Pacifica trades quantity for tougher fights. One quirk: Westbrook is the only base-game district with zero cyberpsycho sightings — all 17 hide elsewhere.

Since Update 2.0, every base-game ripperdoc stocks the same cyberware, so the choice comes down to convenience and discounts. Watson has the most clinics by far; the further out you go, the fewer there are. Dogtown's ripperdocs are the exception — they carry extended stock beyond the shared base-game list.

Night City rewards players who poke at its corners. These are the secrets worth a detour — the full anime tribute list lives in our Edgerunners guide.

• Kabuki Market hides a developer room behind the stalls — one of the few spaces in Night City the devs signed themselves.
• Game developer Hideo Kojima cameos in the Konpeki Plaza hotel bar during The Heist, holding court with his entourage.
• The FF:06:B5 code glows from statues and screens across the city — most famously the multi-armed colossus at the Corpo Plaza roundabout. CDPR has never explained the code outright — Update 2.0 turned the statues into a solvable puzzle chain that players cracked in late 2023, and its full meaning is still debated.
• Brendan, the chatty vending machine outside Megabuilding H8 in Japantown, starts the bittersweet Coin Operated Boy side job.
• David Martinez's jacket: play the braindance on the trash can at his old apartment (look for the graffiti mark), text El Capitan about David, wait a day, then pick up the jacket from him — the Over the Edge chain in full.
• The Arroyo ripperdoc in Santo Domingo is the clinic where David got his Sandevistan in the anime — a quiet shrine now.
• Skippy, the smart pistol with attitude, sits unmarked in a Vista del Rey alley in Heywood. Grab it early — see weapons for why it carries low-level builds.
• The free Rayfield Caliburn "Murkmobile" waits in a Badlands tunnel after Ghost Town — full route in cars.

There are no car dealerships in Night City — every purchase runs through the Autofixer app on V's phone. Fixers text you as new listings arrive, vehicles unlock with Street Cred, and several listings only appear after you visit the district where the car is parked. For the full price list and all roughly 27 free vehicles as of Update 2.3, see cars — you rarely need to pay full price.

• Westbrook: premium metal — the Aerondight "Guinevere" and more unlock after visits to Charter Hill and North Oak.
• City Center: the purchasable Rayfield Caliburn, tied to a trip through Downtown.
• Heywood: affordable mid-tier cruisers that carry the early game.
• Santo Domingo and the Badlands: muscle and off-road runners built for 6th Street turf and open desert.
• Dogtown (Phantom Liberty): El Capitan's vehicle contracts hand out free wheels, including the weaponized Herrera Outlaw "Weiler".

A route that keeps danger in step with your level and Street Cred climbing. For survival basics, start with the beginner guide.

• Sweep Watson first — Regina's 23 gigs, six cyberpsychos and dense NCPD work make it the best Street Cred farm in the game.
• Push the main story into Act 2. The whole map opens, every fixer starts calling, and the gig floodgates swing wide.
• Work the central loop next: Heywood and Westbrook are medium-threat and well served by the NCART metro (19 stations, 5 lines since Update 2.1) — clear Padre's and Wakako's rosters between story beats.
• Detour through City Center — compact, only 5 gigs and 2 cyberpsychos, quick to clear.
• Move south to Santo Domingo for 6th Street fights and the Rancho Coronado suburbs, and buy chrome at Octavio's.
• Drive the Badlands — Dakota's 9 gigs sprawl across open desert, and the free Caliburn tunnel is on the way.
• Save Pacifica for when your build is ready — Voodoo Boys and Animals turf hits hardest in the base game. Endgame pointers in builds.
• Enter Dogtown when Phantom Liberty's Dog Eat Dog calls you — sweep airdrops and Relic terminals there early (see the Dogtown section above).

Cyberpsycho Sightings are NCPD-reported mini-boss encounters — 17 in the base game plus more in Phantom Liberty. Each is a one-on-one fight against a heavily chromed enemy with a unique gimmick, and completing all of them feeds the quests milestone for Regina Jones. Find them via the blue NCPD icons on the map after picking up the Cyberpsycho Sightings job.

Graffiti murals of Major Arcana tarot cards — 20 in the base game and 2 more in Phantom Liberty — are scannable collectibles tied to the Fool on the Hill job from Misty. Each mural must be scanned to register; rewards include the Wandering Fool achievement and closure for Misty and Johnny. They also mirror the endings: the final ending choice is framed through tarot cards.
