I didn’t realize it had been released. I’ll have to start it when I get home.

Honestly, the rewards don’t look that great, but that’s mostly because the new content in the Echoes update was so good.

I noticed that too. The first animal I scanned was 2.7 and it’s only recorded higher values from there.

This Expedition has been kind of annoying and the rewards aren’t even that good. 🤷‍♂️

Right now I’m just trying to finish the Expedition so I can get back to Starfield. 😅

A maxed Positron Ejector used to be the way to go. You could actually kill pirates as they were warping into the system by shooting at the general area. Fights were over before they even started. Then with one of the major updates, they “re-balanced” the weapons and a maxed out Infra Knife now shreds everything in no time. I keep Rockets around as a finishing blow or a strong opening to weaken enemy shields.

Agreed. I have tried equipping ships with a Ballista for shields and Infra Knife for hull, but honestly, it’s just easier to punch through with the Infra Knife.

Maybe it’s just in my head but I feel like the Photon Canon got better when they introduced Interceptors.

Thanks for the post. I’ve been reluctant to start posting Staff locations because there seem to be a lot of variables involved that aren’t clear yet. For example, I found a location that produces an S-Class Runic Staff, so I dropped a Communications Station and was going to start making screenshots to share. When I went to recreate it, the color and class were both different.

Once my original save got to the endgame, I spent a lot of time maxing out my money, freighter, bases, etc. and contributing to the glyph exchange subreddits. After a while I stopped playing but would check back in after a major update. I didn’t really play again seriously until the expeditions started. It’s the game I often go back to when I don’t have something else to play.

I just finished reading the audiobook. Overall I really liked it, but that’s partially colored by the fact that I’m a fan of the Cyberpunk universe.

A couple, non-spoiler comments regarding the book.

• It’s not clear when this takes place in the timeline. It could be before, after, or during the Cyberpunk 2077 game. I’m not sure that it matters.
• The way the book jumps between characters can be confusing. Cherami Leigh does do voices for the different characters but they are not very distinct. When the perspective jumps to a new character, it can take a moment to realize it.
• Since there is no single protagonist, you don’t really form a connection with any particular character. They each have their own reasons and motivations but none of them really stand out.
• There are references to some minor people and places in the game. While the fanservice is cool, it does make Night City feel a little small. What are the odds that the characters of the book are in the same places, talking to the same people as the game? Luckily it doesn’t happen all the time.
• I think the connection to one or more storylines in the game is possible but tenuous. There are similarities but nothing direct.

Nice find!
