Follow Panam and the Aldecaldos in the 'Forward to Death' mission. Learn how to survive artillery fire, drone attacks, and Militech ambushes in Cyberpunk 2077.
Alright, so after that whole 'We Gotta Live Together' mess, you're immediately thrown into the next part: 'Forward to Death'. Don't worry, it's not as grim as it sounds, but it's definitely a ride. You'll start right after the previous job, so just follow Panam down to the basilisk tent. Saul will hand you a shard – pop it in and watch the drone fly-over of the construction site. Honestly, it's mostly just Saul rambling, but hey, you can scan some stuff if you want to feel useful. Once that's done, disconnect and hop into the basilisk with Panam.
- 1You'll be following Saul and his crew through some pretty intense artillery fire. Keep an eye out and try to avoid getting hit – the basilisk isn't exactly a tank, despite its name.
- 2Suddenly, the basilisk will break down. Figures, right? This is where Panam hands you a rifle. You'll need to shoot down some attacking drones that show up. Don't let them overwhelm you!
- 3Once the basilisk is back up and running, get back inside. Your next job is to drive up to the bridge and clear out the Militech forces blocking your path. Use the basilisk's firepower to disperse them.
- 4After the bridge, you'll need to push through two barricades to reach the construction site at the end. Once you're there, unleash the basilisk's main weapon on the defenders.
- 5Drive through the gate into the construction site. Panam will handle the basilisk, and she'll task you with getting out and clearing the interior. Time to get your hands dirty!
- 6Inside the construction site, you'll need to fend off Militech counterattacks. You'll be facing about eight enemies here, mostly drones but some troopers too. The Aldecaldos will be helping you out, so you've got backup.
- 7Head up some stairs to a control room. You won't be doing anything specific up here, but Militech reinforcements are on their way, so you'll need to move.
- 8When you get the warning about Militech, leave the control room and head to the right side of the base. This is where the first wave will hit. A Tech weapon is super useful here because you can shoot through cover, and even take out enemies in their vehicles.
- 9After clearing the right side, another squad will hit the left. Then, an AV will land, and a third squad will drive into the center, bringing a Mech with them. In total, you'll be fighting around 33 enemies across these waves.
- 10Once all the waves are cleared, head back to Panam and get back in the basilisk. It seems this old girl still has some fight left in her!
- 11Drive out of the construction site, shooting down any drones that pop up. A second wave of bigger aerial threats will follow – you can't shoot these down, so just ignore them and focus on any ground vehicles they drop. Blow up any Militech toys that appear.
- 12Finally, drive back into the construction site through the tunnel you opened up. This will end the 'Forward to Death' job.
- When dealing with the Militech counterattacks inside the construction site, a Tech weapon is your best friend. It lets you shoot through cover and even target enemies inside vehicles, making your life a lot easier.
- Don't be afraid to fight defensively if you need to. With the Aldecaldos backing you up, you have some breathing room.
- Pay attention to the basilisk's condition. It can break down, and you'll need to be ready to defend yourself and repair it.
This job leads directly into 'Belly of the Beast'. Just chat with Panam as the basilisk auto-pilots its way to your next destination.
