Beat on the Brat: Pacifica: On Brat

Learn how to defeat Ozob in Cyberpunk 2077's Beat on the Brat: Pacifica side job. Get tips on his attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategy to win.

Alright, so you've heard about this 'Beat on the Brat' thing, but the Pacifica version is a bit of a curveball. It's not part of the main 'Beat on the Brat' questline, even though it shares the name. You'll get a text from Coach Fred about another challenger after you finish 'Send in the Clowns.' This one's a bit different, and you might even end up doing it after you've already wrapped up the main 'Beat on the Brat' jobs.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Ozob doesn't hit as hard as some other opponents like Rhino or Razor Hughes.
• He combos frequently.
• He's evasive and harder to stagger with Strong Attacks than others.
• He uses Combat Stim to heal when his health gets low.
• He uses Charge Jump if you create too much distance.
• His durability is only moderate.
• His nose is a grenade.

Phases:

1. Initial Fight: Ozob attacks with combos and evasive maneuvers. He'll use Combat Stim to heal and Charge Jump to close distance.
2. Nose Explosion Trigger: If you have the Shock-and-Awe mod (immune system cyberware) and it activates, it can set off his nose, ending the fight via technical knockout. This might take a few tries.

Strategy:

• Head to the marked location in Coastview, Pacifica. You'll find Ozob there.
• You'll need to pay a buy-in, which is higher than usual. Choose your bet and head to the swimming pool area to start the fight.
• The arena gives you plenty of room to maneuver, so blocking and dodging are your best friends here.
• Since he's evasive and can heal, focus on landing hits when you can and don't let him recover too much health.
• Pro-Tip: If you have the Shock-and-Awe cyberware mod, equip it! If it triggers during the fight, it can detonate Ozob's nose, instantly knocking him out. You can even just stand back and block until this happens, though it might take more than one discharge.
• Sandevistan cyberware will give you an advantage, as usual, by slowing down time.
• Once Ozob is defeated, you'll get your reward and the job will be complete.
