Follow our Cyberpunk 2077 walkthrough for the Old Friends gig in Heywood. Learn how to neutralize Karubo Barei Sanguinario, with optional objectives and rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Make your way to Karubo's bar in Vista Del Rey, Heywood.
  2. 2
    Scan all enemies, including Karubo, to make neutralization easier.
  3. 3
    Optional: Neutralize Karubo without raising the alarm.
    • Method 1 (Quickhacks): If you have legendary Ping, ping any Valentino, go outside, and use a quickhack like Suicide on Karubo.
  4. 4
    Method 2 (Silenced Weapon from Roof): Climb onto the roof, find a skylight, and shoot Karubo in the head with a silenced weapon.
  5. 5
    Method 3 (Technical Ability Door): Circle to the back of the building and use a Technical Ability 16 door to enter the kitchen. From there, you can use a silenced weapon, quickhack, or takedown.
  6. 6
    Optional: Deliver Karubo alive. If you manage to neutralize Karubo without killing him, the objective changes to carrying him to a waiting vehicle. This is difficult, especially if you can't access the back door, but rewards approximately 50% more eddies.
  7. 7
    After dealing with Karubo, return to the bar and loot.
  8. 8
    Access Points:
    • Two Access Points are found on arcade machines in the dining area.
  9. 9
    A third Access Point is on the roof (Intelligence 8).
  10. 10
    From the roof, you can climb down a ladder into an interior room guarded by a Valentino. This bypasses a Body 12 or Technical Ability 8 check for a door on the other side and contains minor loot.
  11. 11
    Head to the back room (adjacent to the kitchen) where the Technical Ability 16 door opens.
  12. 12
    In this back room, you'll find a container with the Gig's legendary drop and a microwave with the fourth and final Access Point (Intelligence 8).
Tips
  • Scanning all enemies, including Karubo, makes the mission easier.
  • Legendary Ping is highly effective for stealthy takedowns.
  • Using the ladder on the roof bypasses certain skill checks for accessing an interior room.
  • Delivering Karubo alive offers a significant monetary reward but is challenging.
