Cyberpunk 2077 How to Save Brick
Cyberpunk 2077 offers players a ton of choices for every main mission and side quest. Every choice the players make, they’ll face consequences be it positive or negative. One such choice is saving Brick in “The Pickup” mission. In this Cyberpunk 2077 guide, we will help players with where to find Brick and how to save him.
Cyberpunk 2077 Where to Find Brick
Brick is the former leader of the Maelstroms gang as he was dethroned by Royce. Royce isn’t particularly friendly or smart. So if you want to mess with him or want to have Brick owe you a favor, you can find him and save him.
Depending on how you approach “The Pickup” mission, you’ll end up in a firefight. Players have to fight their way out. Depending on your approach, it’ll be either Militech or Maelstroms.
While fighting your way out, you’ll come across a room with two glass boxes or rooms to the left. Clear the room and go upstairs. Here players will be able to see Brick through the glass door.
How to free Brick in Cyberpunk 2077
So, spoilers: Brick is still alive. He’s not been killed as the in-game dialogue from Royce would imply. You only get the chance to free him if you go down a specific path in the mission though.
Before you enter All Foods, you’re given the option to meet with a lady called Meredith. Speak to her and she can give you a CredChip. This can be used during The Pickup mission to pay Royce extra credits for the robot you’ve come to acquire.
Problem is, if you want to free Brick, you cannot pay Royce for the robot. So while you can take the CredChip from Meredith, don’t pay for the robot. You need to refuse, then when given the option to shoot Royce, do it. This will begin a small shootout; kill the enemies, pickup the robot, and follow Jackie.
Now, you’re in stealth mode. It’s up to you whether you try to do this section in stealth or not, but you need to clear the 2-3 enemies in the first room, then move to the next area. In the second yellow-lit room at the back, with display cabinets and a shard to pick up in the corner of the room, is a detonator. Do not detonate it because if you do, Brick will die. Instead, either ignore or deactivate it.
Between the two yellow-lit rooms is the door to Brick’s cell, which is locked with a keypad. I had a look for the code but couldn’t find it anywhere; instead, it’s possible to remotely deactivate the lock on the keypad, which unlocks the door. Go inside and you’ll find Brick.
If you didn’t deactivate the detonator, Brick will have a red laser pointing at him. If he moves an inch, he dies. You can disarm the laser inside his cell with a Technical Ability level of seven, but if not, you’ll need to go back to the detonator.
When saved, Brick won’t follow and help you escape, but he does say that if you ever meet him again, he’ll “have you covered”. At the time of writing, I haven’t stumbled upon Brick again yet (you can meet Dum Dum later if he lives but it doesn’t really change anything), but will update this when I do to inform you of the outcome. Either way, it doesn’t sound like it can be a bad thing, haven’t a bloke like Brick on your side.
