Why the Cyberpunk 2077 Gang system is super important CD Projekt RedNight City\u2019s districts and sub-districts are infested with the stench of crime and turf warfare. This disturbance is perpetuated by the eight main gangs in Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s world. So we thought we\u2019d analyze Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s gang system, with details on each gang, where they are based, and the potentially devastating implications for the player. [jwplayer 91I9RIGm] Whilst the primary focus for Cyberpunk 2077 is leveled at its stunning graphics, multi-faceted gameplay, and dystopian world, more attention needs to be brought to the gangs that are based all across Night City. After all, they are the cause for so much of Night City\u2019s angst and failings. With eight different gangs operating across the map, it\u2019s going to be impossible not to encounter them during your playthrough. Especially since your Lifepath you select at the start of the game will drastically influence how certain gangs perceive you. Moxes The history of the Moxes is a rather sad one. The gang was formed after Elizabeth \u201cLizzie\u201d Borden \u2013 a strip club owner that was protective of her workers \u2013 was killed by the Tyger Claws. The attack was provoked due to Lizzie avenging the death of one of her workers by killing the people involved and hanging their bodies at the front of her club. Her former club is now a braindance club, which generates their income, and the gang is arguably the least-threatening group as they don\u2019t control anywhere and tend to stay as a protective collective. Although if anyone tries to invade their patch or mess with any of Moxes\u2019 workers \u2013 particularly from the Tyger Claws, then there may be some trouble. Location: Watson District Maelstrom A volatile, combat gang that have an affinity for everything robotic and are always trying to improve the strength of metal, instead of \u201cweak\u201d human skin. Many of the Maelstrom have succumbed to Cyberpsychosis \u2013 seeing humans as weak and inferior to robots \u2013 as their body has become overloaded with advanced cybernetics and augmentations. The gang\u2019s thirst for great enhancements has caused them to increase the severity of their crime to increase their gain. They are possibly the most dangerous gang. An official quote from their leader \u2013 Royce \u2013 says: \u201cAnd who the f**k\u2019re you to say what can and can\u2019t be?\u201d Location: Watson District Tyger Claws The Tyger Claws have abandoned their laurels and expanded into one of Night City\u2019s largest gangs. Owning a vast empire of nightclubs, bars, restaurants, casinos, etc the Tyger Claws have risen from the lowly-depths of a small gang to now operating many fronts for human trafficking, prostitution, money-laundering, and much more. The group is immediately identifiable due to their tattoos, augmentations (a trait of their modernization), bikes, and tattoos. They are a fearsome gang that will attack in numbers, and they adopt a way of life similar to that of the Yakuza. Location: Westbrook and Watson Voodoo Boys A ruthless cult of crazies with no regard for life\u2026or planning it seems. The Voodoo Boys essentially act impulsively with very little forethought for planning and will drug, rape, and kill anyone they feel like. Their ideologies are highly inconsistent and their rituals are twisted and perverse. Operating exclusively in Pacifica, their numbers are low \u2013 despite University students trying to join and their crimes mainly revolve around hacking. Whether it\u2019s accessing classified data and selling it off to the highest bidder, or just obtaining virtual currency. Location: Pacifica Valetinos Their mission statement is simple: Find a woman, and take them. Now, it\u2019s clear that the Valentinos have very little appreciation for modern-day principles such as equality, feminism, or anything that hinders their desire to copulate. They aren\u2019t based in one specific location, they all proudly show-off their gang tattoos, and in order to attract desirable females they\u2019ll show off their expensive gold jewelry. The Valentinos are about as harmless as Nighty City gangs come. But their numbers venture into the thousands, so don\u2019t challenge them or they will be able to overwhelm you. But quite simply, they run a whole host of legitimate businesses, they also dip into the nastier sides of business, and occasionally meet up to discuss their latest sexual escapades. Location: Heywood, The Glen, Wellsprings, Vista Del Rey 6th Street Another gang that set out with honorable principles, and descended into self-preservation and self-satisfaction. Formed after the 4th Corporate War \u2013 a large-scale war between the CINO and OTEC corporations \u2013 the 6th Street formed to aid the overworked and hapless NCPD. But time has swayed their principles and now they\u2019re a traditional racketeering gang that demands protection money. They\u2019ve also evolved into stealing, smuggling, and other illicit activities. Location: Santo Domingo and Heywood Animals An animalistic group that scoffs at the notion of cyberware and instead pumps their body full of every body enhancer available. Whilst the Maelstrom favors the maximization of robotic enhancements, the Animals want to resemble original Batman comics Bane and be as jacked up humanly possible. Their dinner is usually an exquisite 3-course meal of testosterone, steroids, and \u201cThe Juice\u201d \u2013 situated in a charming venue called a gym. Their constant desire to prove their toughness and stand atop the food chain leads to conflict with every gang. Underground cage fighting, homebrewed drugs, and protection jobs source their income. Location: Pacifica Aldecaldos When Mad Max meets everyone else. The Aldecaldos are regarded as the first true Nomad group and are mainly based across the Badlands. The name derives from Juan Aldecaldo \u2013 the founder \u2013 and after initially leaving the US, he returned, bringing with him a larger extended family of Nomads. As Badlanders, the Aldecaldos will naturally scavenge what they can. They will gladly take part in the selling of bootleg goods and smuggling. Although they are the friendlier of the Badlands gang presence and can be considered, somewhat, to be allies if the partnership is right. A great example of how the Cyberpunk 2077 gang system can work to your advantage. Location: Badlands Wraiths If the Aldecaldos are the heaven of the Badlands, then say hello to hell. The Wraiths are a dark bunch that will make their move at night to capitalize on any vulnerable people. Their leader is literally called \u201cDogkiller\u201d after all, they never sound like they are going to be the friendliest bunch. Unsurprisingly the Wraiths have a history with the Aldecaldos and clash with them frequently. The Wraiths fund their living by carrying out raids and occasionally extorting people in Night City for all they can.
