Quick Links
Waiting For Dodger is one of several gigs to be introduced as part of theCyberpunk 2077: Phantom LibertyDLC. Interestingly, despite being linked to the DLC, it actually takes place outside of Dogtown. But it’s still very close to the region and is still clearly part of Mr. Hands' territory since he gives you the quest.
The quest in question revolves around you saving a couple of members of NCPD’s finest. Yet, calling them the “finest” is giving them too much credit as they’re not the smartest people around. This lack of intelligence got them in trouble with a man named Dodger, and you must get them out of it. Here is how to do so.
Meet Stella
The starting point for this quest isjust outside the Dogtown Gate. When you’re nearby, Mr. Hands gives you a call to tell you about the situation and asks you to speak with the wife of one of the captured officers.
She’swaiting in a car amid a little homeless camp next to the Dogtown gate. Get inside the car totalk to herand learn everything you need to know.
Find Bill And Charles
Dodger’s base, where Bill and Charles are being held, isacross the street from Stella’s car.With the card she gave you, you can justgo through the front door.
Once inside, you will find a bunch of enemies.
Stella asked you not to kill them, and there is a reason for that.If you avoid killing anybody for the entire mission, you can avoid a fight at the end.
But it’sultimately up to you whether to eliminate them all or sneak past them.
Either way, you want toreach the elevator on the left side of the room. It’s the little square room on your mini-map.
Take the elevatordown to the basement.
After leaving the lift and turning a corner, you willfind a guy trying to get a door to work.
Get rid of them,either lethally or non-lethally,and thenspeak to the person on the other side of the door.It turns out to be Charles. So,help him get the door open.
Then, you may hear the ridiculous story of how they got themselves into this mess.
Escort Bill And Charles To Their Car
Now, you need to get them out of the building. However, you can’t just fight your way out since the two knuckleheads you’re with left their guns in the car. So, youmust get them to the garage.
Follow them out of the door they open and down the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs is a door they will struggle to open. When they eventually do, youmust take out the goon roaming the next hallway.Again, you have to decide whether you want to do it lethally or non-lethally.
Watch out for the camera in the hall.
How To Open The Door
After he’s down,follow the two guys to the next closed door.This time, they can’t open it, so you need to assist.
If you’re strong enough, you can force the door open.
If not,head back out into the hall and enter the server room you passed earlier.
Inside, you canfind a distribution box. Go up to it andhit ‘override’to get the door open.
Reach The Garage
The next area has several goons. Charles draws the first one over by messing around with a can.
Use a quickhack on the big machine directly across from where Charles is standing todistract the guard and keep them away from you.You also need to take them down lethally or non-lethally, so the distraction can help with that.
In the next room, you will find three enemies.You have to get rid of them all, too.Once again, you may do this lethally or non-lethally.
To do it stealthily, use a quickhack on the light on the left side of the room to distract the guard sitting on the chair. Then, sneak up and take him out.
After that, you can easily sneak behind the other two.
Protect Or Expose Bill And Charles
At this point, you canfollow Bill and Charles into the garage, where you willmeet Dodger.
Bill and Charles will try to lie their way out of the situation. They’re not very good at it, though, soDodger will want to hear your version.
You cansay they’re telling the truth, expose their lies, or draw your weapon.
Protect Bill And Charles
To protect your two new friends,say, “he’s telling the truth,” or draw your weapon.Both options lead to youfighting Dodger and his allies.
It isn’t a hard battle, as Dodger isn’t really a boss. So, justget in cover and blast the enemies away.
Then,speak to Bill and Charles.They will leave, and you’ll get a call from Mr. Hands. He’s happy, and the quest ends when his call is over.
Expose Bill And Charles
If you don’t want to lie for Bill and Charles,say, “he’s lying.”
This leads tothem telling Dodger the whole truth.Surprisingly, he’s more entertained than angry. And he’s willing to let them go free.
However, before you go,he has his guy check the vitals of the men in the buildingyou just went through.This is where your lethal or non-lethal approach comes into play.
If you didn’t kill anyone, Dodger lets you all leave.
Yet,if you killed his people, Dodger will now attack you.Then, you have to eliminate him and his remaining goons.
In both scenarios, you leave the garage and get a call from Mr. Hands. He’s happy either way, and the quest comes to a close.
