What rewards do you get for betraying Songbird?

Betraying Songbird in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty unlocks significant rewards, primarily powerful, Blackwall-themed gear like the Erebus SMG or the Militech Canto Mk.6 Cyberdeck, plus the MaxTac Mantis Blades, by following the path with Reed.

Is there a reward for keeping all cyberpsychos alive?

In Cyberpunk 2077, keeping all cyberpsychos alive (non-lethally incapacitating them) earns you a special reward from Regina Jones: a chest containing legendary clothing items (a vest and trousers) and unique dialogue where she thanks you for helping them get therapy and potentially learning more about cyberpsychosis. The actual loot (Trauma Team vest/pants) is decent but considered underwhelming by some players compared to the effort, especially after updates changed armor mechanics, but it's the main incentive beyond story appreciation and bragging rights.

Which ending keeps V alive?

In Cyberpunk 2077, V can live in several endings, most notably the Arasaka Ending (The Devil) where V returns to Earth but only has months to live, and a specific Phantom Liberty ending (King of Wands/The Tower) where V survives long-term with a new, but damaged, body and Johnny Silverhand is gone. Other paths like the secret "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" lead to the Sun ending, where V becomes legendary, but still faces a limited lifespan, with the Phantom Liberty path offering the most definitive survival by removing the Relic's threat.

What rewards do you get from siding with Songbird?

Siding with Songbird in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty locks you out of Reed's rewards but grants access to different, often less tangible, outcomes, primarily leading to the "King of Wands" or "King of Swords" endings, plus unique items like the Quantum Tuner cyberware (a cooldown reducer) and her personal sidearm, Pariah, offering a different flavor of story and loot focused on Netrunning and loyalty over brute force.

Why doesn't V go cyberpsycho?

V doesn't go cyberpsycho primarily because the Relic biochip containing Johnny Silverhand acts as a buffer, sharing the mental load and essentially "fixing" V's brain, while the short timeframe of the game (a few weeks) isn't enough time for the condition to fully develop, according to creators and lore. Johnny's already fractured psyche helps ground V, preventing the total detachment from humanity that defines cyberpsychosis, even with extensive cyberware.

Does Johnny make V immune to cyberpsychosis?

The game explains that V is immune to cyberpsychosis as the Relic is constantly 'repairing' Vs brain by overwriting it to become Johnny. Mike Pondsmith, the creator, further confirmed that Johnny/the Relic takes all the mental burden/load of cyberpsychosis so that V doesn't have to deal with it.

What if I touch panams' thighs?

In Cyberpunk 2077, touching Panam's thigh during the "Riders on the Storm" quest is a key romance option for Male V, leading to intimacy and advancing the romance, but Female V will get rejected and told "we're just friends," while choosing not to touch might lead to a different, less romantic outcome but can still progress the story. It's a pivotal moment where V can either go for it (if male) or respect her boundaries (if female or choosing to be cautious), with success depending on V's gender and your choices throughout her questline, like supporting her against Saul.

What happens if you let Adam Smasher live?

If you let Adam Smasher live in Cyberpunk 2077, nothing significant changes in the main story's ending, as the game is designed for him to return, but lore-wise, Arasaka will just patch him up and put him back to work in a new body/mech suit, as he's basically immortal and dedicated to the corp. While you might get some flavor text or a voicemail if you spare him during certain encounters, he'll still show up in the final mission for a confrontation, but sparing him doesn't alter the ultimate outcome.

Do I betray Dex for Evelyn?

In Cyberpunk 2077, whether you "betray" Dex for Evelyn during the heist prep doesn't significantly change the outcome of the mission or long-term story because events derail regardless, but it alters dialogue and pay offers (Dex offers 40% if told, 30-35% if not), making it a choice for roleplaying your character's loyalty vs. greed. Most players side with Evelyn or keep quiet because Dex's untrustworthy reputation suggests he'd betray you anyway, and the heist fails for everyone, leading to Dex betraying V later, making the choice more about personal preference than consequence.

Does V get cured in Phantom Liberty?

Yes, V can get cured in one specific Phantom Liberty ending, but it's a bittersweet outcome where V wakes up after a two-year coma unable to use most cyberware, effectively ending their life as a mercenary and losing their former connections, making it a "win" for survival but a loss for their identity and relationships.

What happens if you kiss river as male v?

If you try to kiss River Ward as a male V in Cyberpunk 2077, he'll react with surprise and gently reject the advance, framing it as needing to keep things strictly friendly ("to friendship") and then suggests getting drinks (whiskey/beer) to lighten the awkward moment, leading to an awkward morning-after where V wakes up alone at his place, and River leaves for the hospital, ending the romantic possibility but continuing the story.

Is there an ending where V and Johnny both live?

No, there isn't a true happy ending where V and Johnny live together in the base game; most endings involve one sacrificing for the other, or V dying within months, but the <<!Phantom Liberty>> DLC offers a path where V survives long-term, though separated from Johnny and their old life, while a new secret ending allows V to join Alt in cyberspace, leaving Johnny with the body and a chance at life, but it's bittersweet. The core conflict is the Relic chip, meaning V's body is failing, forcing a choice: V gets a few months, or Johnny gets the body and a potential long life.
