Unleashing the Ultimate Cyberpunk 2077 Experience: Mastering the Phantom Liberty DLC Guide

The Phantom Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 offers players the chance to dive into a fresh storyline, explore a new district, and more. However, some fans may be unsure of how to access this new content. Rest assured, starting the Phantom Liberty DLC in Cyberpunk 2077 is not overly complicated, and this guide provides two options for players to consider.

Please note that while the 2.0 update for Cyberpunk 2077 is available to all players who have the base game, the Phantom Liberty DLC must be purchased separately. Therefore, fans should ensure they have purchased and installed the DLC before proceeding with this guide, as the information below will not be relevant until these steps have been taken.

Cyberpunk 2077: How to Start Phantom Liberty DLC

To easily experience the Phantom Liberty DLC, all you need to do is initiate a fresh game and opt for the Skip Ahead to Phantom Liberty feature. By choosing this alternative, players can immediately plunge into the DLC's initial mission, Dog Eat Dog, and gain valuable insights into the events they skipped, courtesy of Johnny Silverhand's concise summary.

Additionally, players who choose this option will commence their journey with a Level 15 character, equipped with an array of Tier 2 Uncommon Weapons and even certain Cyberware. This character will also arrive with pre-allocated attribute and perk points, enabling enthusiasts to jump straight into the action without any delays. However, for those players who prefer devising their own character build, they can readily reset the attributes and reclaim the perk points once they enter the game.

To start Phantom Liberty in a different way, players can choose to complete the Transmission mission after playing through the base game. This mission, found in Act 2, marks the end of a player's involvement with the Voodoo Boys. Players who choose to rush through the main story and ignore optional content can reach this point in approximately 11 hours of gameplay.

The recommended option between these two choices depends on the individual player. If a player simply wants to quickly access the Phantom Liberty DLC content and is willing to rush through the base game, they may prefer to skip ahead and read a summary of the previous events online. On the other hand, if a player wants to fully immerse themselves in Night City and become familiar with the different gameplay systems before entering Dogtown, they should consider taking the longer path to the DLC.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
