Broke in Night City? How to Afford That Robotic Dachshund You've Always Dreamed Of (Without Selling Your Internal Organs...Probably)
Ah, Night City. City of dreams, neon lights, and crippling debt. You just finished that epic heist, scored a legendary katana, and...realized you can't afford the fancy bullets it needs. Fear not, fellow merc! There are ways to line your pockets without resorting to pawning off your cybernetic arm (though, hey, nobody's judging). Here's your ultimate guide to becoming a millionaire (Night City style):
1. Embrace Your Inner Packrat: The Looter's Delight
Night City is practically overflowing with treasures. Every drawer, every dusty corner, every defeated enemy – a potential goldmine! Remember, choom, every shard of broken glass, every moldy medkit, is an eddie waiting to happen.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
- The Tourist Approach: Hit every ATM on your way to the objective. Every little bit counts, right? (Just don't get caught by the actual tourists. They get cranky about that.)
- The Discount Vulture: Those legendary cybernetic enhancements ain't cheap. But hey, nobody said you had to pay full price! Befriend a local ripperdoc with questionable morals and a discount scalpel. Just, uh, don't come crying to me when your new arm starts dispensing questionable protein shakes.
2. Get Crafty, Get Rich: The Alchemist's Workshop
Crafting can be your ticket to easy street...well, maybe not easy, but definitely less-dangerous-than-stealing-from-militech easy. Here's the hustle:
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
- The Discount Pharmacy: Those healing items you loot? Break them down and craft new ones to sell! Night City's a rough place, gotta take care of yourself (and your profit margins).
- The Renegade Chef: Food is fuel, and overpriced fuel at that. Those scavenged ingredients? Whip up some questionable concoctions and sell them to unsuspecting vendors. Just don't be surprised if you get a few side quests involving angry customers and questionable plumbing issues.
3. Embrace the Gig Economy: The Reluctant Merc

Look, V, Night City runs on gigs. From fetching lost kittens (probably with cybernetic enhancements) to eliminating rival gang leaders (with questionable hygiene), there's a gig for everyone. The key is to be selective. Don't get caught up in some psycho's revenge plot for two hundred eddies. You're worth more than that (probably. Maybe not, considering the state of your apartment).
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
4. Questionable Morals and Questionable Side Hustles
Night City caters to all...moral spectrums. Here's a taste of the dark side (but hey, gotta do what you gotta do for that robotic dachshund, right?):
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
- Shell Game extraordinaire: Set up a little rigged shell game outside Lizzie's Bar. Those tourists are practically begging to lose their eddies.
- The "Lost and Found" Specialist: "Find" lost valuables...permanently. Just make sure you, uh, find them somewhere the original owner won't, you know, find them.
Remember, choom, these are just a few tips to get you started. Night City is full of opportunities (and dangers) to make your eddies. Just use your best judgment (and maybe a bulletproof vest) and who knows, you might just be able to afford that robotic dachshund after all. Although, honestly, a regular one might be less maintenance.
