Complete the Transmission main job in cyberpunk 2077. Learn how to bypass the Voodoo Boys and defeat Placide.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the Johnny segment, talk to Johnny and then Brigitte in the cyberworld until prompted to pass through the Blackwall.
  2. 2
    Talk to Alt and Johnny to devise a plan.
  3. 3
    Return to the real world. The outcome depends on whether you made a deal with the NetWatch agent.
  4. 4
    If you did NOT make a deal with the NetWatch agent: Brigitte and the Voodoo Boys are fine. Exit the hideout. Quest over.
  5. 5
    If you DID make a deal with the NetWatch agent: Brigitte and the Voodoo Boys are casualties. Loot the dead netrunners.
  6. 6
    Jack into an Access Point [Intelligence 10] near the exit.
  7. 7
    Pass through the train and turn right. Avoid or distract the Voodoo Boys gathered ahead. Use a "distract" quickhack to deal with the lone ganger guarding the exit.
  8. 8
    Go down a tunnel, turn right through a hole in the wall. Sneak up on and eliminate the ganger in the adjoining tunnel.
  9. 9
    Head down another hallway, turn left, and deal with the next ganger. You can hide or backtrack to the train.
  10. 10
    Follow the quest trail up the stairs and back into the chapel.
  11. 11
    Boss Fight: Placide. Placide is resistant to chemical and electrical damage and increases RAM costs by +9. Quickhacks are not very effective due to increased upload time and RAM cost. Placide is weak to fire damage. He prefers to shoot with his shotgun and uses Sandevistan to move quickly. Aim for headshots (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) as he is not very sturdy.
  12. 12
    Exiting the Chapel:
  13. 13
    If you did not make a deal with the NetWatch agent, simply walk out.
  14. 14
    If you made a deal, fight through the hideout and chapel. Loot Placide for his Chapel Access Token and legendary armor. Exit the chapel.
  15. 15
    Outside, you will experience a relic malfunction, leading to a conversation with Johnny as part of the Tapeworm quest.
  16. 16
    Upon recovery, you have completed the Voodoo Boys job and gained intel. The next Main Jobs are Ghost Town (Pan Am's questline) or Down on the Street (Takemura's questline).
  17. 17
    Completing Transmission unlocks Side Jobs: the final Beat on the Brat quest, Killing Machine, and Send in the Clowns.
Tips
  • Placide has the Combat Stim, Sandevistan, Kerenzikov, and Charge Jump abilities.
  • Placide is not connected to any networks, so the Mass Vulnerability daemon cannot be used.
  • Use the environment for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) during the fight with Placide.
  • If you made a deal with the NetWatch agent, loot Placide for the Chapel Access Token and legendary armor.
  • Chapel Access Token (if you made a deal with NetWatch)
  • Legendary Armor (if you made a deal with NetWatch)
  • Intel for future quests
  • Unlocked Side Jobs: Beat on the Brat (final quest), Killing Machine, Send in the Clowns
