Navigate the On A Tight Leash gig in Cyberpunk 2077. Learn how to infiltrate the bus depot, neutralize Jose Luis, and complete optional objectives for the best rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Make your way to the bus depot in Wellsprings, Heywood. You'll receive a call from Padre upon nearing the location.
  2. 2
    The depot is guarded by Valentinos and has cameras. Disable cameras and takedown guards to secure the roof.
  3. 3
    Sneak into the bus depot. The front entrance is difficult; consider a side alley to the left of the main gate.
  4. 4
    There's a gate in the side alley with a lone Valentino. Scale the wall or use Reinforced Tendons to jump to the roof, or use a silenced weapon/Reboot Optics to approach stealthily.
  5. 5
    On the roof, disable another camera and takedown the patrolling Valentino.
  6. 6
    Search for an Access Point on the roof (Intelligence 9 required).
  7. 7
    To reach Jose Luis: use a locked door on the roof (Technical Ability 13), drop through a skylight, shoot out a window with a silenced weapon, or dispatch enemies inside. You can also shoot Jose through the window.
  8. 8
    Neutralize Jose Luis.
  9. 9
    Optional Objective: Use Jose's desk terminal to read the message "Last warning" to find out why the NCPD dropped the investigation.
  10. 10
    Loot a container near some cabinets for a potential legendary drop.
  11. 11
    To bring Jose back alive: carry his body to a car trunk. This is difficult due to enemy presence. Escaping the depot with him alive requires clearing out most enemies or careful maneuvering to avoid killing him during transport.
  12. 12
    If Jose is dead, simply escape the way you came in.
  13. 13
    Call Padre to finish the gig. Report the intel if you completed the optional objective.
  14. 14
    Explore the bus depot for bonus loot: hatches in the garage floor lead to a locked door (Technical 9) with potential legendary crafting specs. There are also two Access Points (Intelligence 9) in the building by the depot entrance.
Tips
  • Legendary Ping quickhack makes scanning enemies much easier.
  • The Hidden Dragon perk, a silenced weapon, or Reboot Optics quickhack can help with stealth takedowns.
  • Reinforced Tendons cyberware allows you to jump over walls to the roof.
  • Bringing Jose back alive is challenging and may not be worth the effort compared to simply killing him.
  • Clearing out the depot can yield significant loot, including crafting specs and access points.
  • XP and Street Cred.
  • Eddies (more if Jose is delivered alive, though this is difficult).
  • Potential legendary loot from containers and locked areas.
