Your guide to taking down Diego Ramirez, the Cyberpsycho in Pacifica. Learn his weaknesses, resistances, and the best strategy to defeat him in Cyberpunk 2077.

Alright, let's get this Cyberpsycho taken care of. This one's Diego Ramirez, and you'll find him out in Pacifica. You can tackle this after you've finished 'The Rescue' main job.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Resistances: RAM Cost +5, Thermal 15%
  • Weaknesses: None listed
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, fast travel to the Pacifica Pier. Once you're there, head underneath the pier. You're looking for a van – inside, you'll find a woman. This is your starting point.
  2. 2
    After checking out the van, make your way back up and walk along the pier itself. Keep going until you find the attacker, Diego Ramirez, sitting right in the center. Examine him – you'll get a prompt to approach the Cyberpsycho.

Strategy:

  • Diego's got a nasty shotgun and likes to teleport around, making him a slippery target. Your best bet is to try and sneak up behind him and go for a headshot with your most powerful weapon.
  • If sneaking up isn't working or you're having trouble landing hits, don't worry. The key is to stay in cover as much as possible.
  • Use your Quickhacks! 'Cripple Movement' is great for slowing him down, making him easier to hit. 'Cyberware Malfunction' can temporarily stop his teleporting, giving you a much-needed breather and a clear shot.
  • Keep an eye on your surroundings and use the environment for cover. He hits hard with that shotgun, so don't get caught out in the open.

Once you've finally put Diego down, make sure to search his body. You'll find a shard on him. Read it, and then send the information you get from it to Regina. This will wrap up the job.
