What are airdrops and how do they work in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty
Airdrops are supplies that are dropped regularly in the new Dogtown district of Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. These supplies may drop at any random place but are mostly found in places infested with Barghest soldiers.
You first find out about airdrops during the ‘Lucretia My Reflection’ main quest. After finding them, a total of five scenarios will arise:
- Ambush: In this scenario, the drop zone is empty but enemies start appearing as soon as you pick up the loot. You need to take them out and escape to claim the rewards.
- Grab: This scenario is a lucky day for V where you get here before anyone else. This means you can loot without anyone interfering.
- Retake: In this case, you encounter a few enemies before looting. Take them down and claim the cache.
- Shootout: In this scenario, enemies have already started to swarm the zone, and if you want to claim the supplies, you’ll have to take them out.
- Custom: These are some dedicated narrative elements and backstories, so you can learn more about the people of Dogtown and feel more immersed in its seedy dealings.
Let’s now take a look at how you can find and loot these airdrops.

- Keep your eyes open for a loud sound when you’re in Dogtown. This sound will immediately follow with a cargo crash at any random site, emitting red smoke, similar to PUBG.
- If you’re the first one to reach the location, then you can freely loot. If not, be sure to take out all the Barghest enemies surrounding the drop zone one by one.
- Once you’ve got them sorted, you need to solve a Breach Protocol hacking puzzle to unlock the airdrop.
- As soon as you solve the puzzle, the airdrop will open up and you can loot everything to your heart’s content.
Remember, these fights can be a bit more intense than normal. So, make sure you are well-equipped with your best weapons and plenty of healing items. Also, always look for cover when things seem like they’re getting out of hand.
