In the Cyberpunk 2077 side job, “Stadium Love,” one of the 10 best side quests in the game, players are tasked with shooting at 44 targets over four gun ranges. With an Iconic Weapon on the line, many players are looking for suggestions on how to earn a perfect score.
When Cyberpunk 2077 players locate the 6th Street Gang on the rooftops of Rancho Coronado in the district of Santo Domingo, they are challenged to a friendly shooting competition. To make the stakes more interesting, they insist that V takes a shot of alcohol before each round, which makes aiming more difficult, and they provide a basic pistol that provides no targeting assistance.
In order to win one of the game's many Iconic weapons, the “Divided We Stand” Smart Assault Rifle, players will have to earn a perfect score across all four ranges. To complicate matters further, players have only 12 seconds per round, and if the character steps over the yellow line at any of the ranges - accidentally or not - they will fail the contest immediately.
It should be noted that players are unable to save during the job, and if they should fail, they won’t get a second chance, so it’s advisable for players to save before initiating the quest. Luckily, the 1.06 hotfix resolves the 8MB save corruption problem, so gamers won't have to worry about their save files becoming too large.
To start, approach the patriotic 6th Street Gang and speak with the 6th Street Competitor on the rooftop located in the southeast section of Rancho Coronado. The 6th Street Captain, sitting on a couch near the Competitor, will eventually explain the competition and invite V to participate. Players should then retrieve the pistol from the table beside the Captain and equip it.
At this point, a quest marker will lead players to the first location. Once players have arrived, they should locate the small shot glass on the table and drink it. Some players have reported a bug that will not allow them to draw or fire their weapon, so it’s vital that players do not attempt to aim down the sights of the pistol immediately after taking the shot. If the player is still unable to draw or fire their weapon after waiting to aim down the sights, the player should reload their save game immediately.
Once a round begins, players need to shoot each target in the 12-second time limit. There are enough targets to require a reload, so players cannot afford to miss any of their shots. This is especially difficult given the basic level of the pistol, and the player's inability to switch it out with any of the unique pistols they may have in their inventory.
After a round is completed, the waypoint for the next range will pop up in the player’s HUD and the map. Players must follow the marker and repeat the same steps: drink the shot, do not aim immediately, begin firing when instructed, be mindful of the yellow line and hit every target.
Once players have completed all four courses, they will need to return to the 6th Street Captain to ask about their results. If they’re successful, they’ll be rewarded with the “Divided We Stand” Iconic weapon. Some players have reported that if unsuccessful, they received at least 1000 experience points, which isn’t awarded if the player earns the assault rifle.
If the competition is too difficult, there’s always the option to grab the rifle and kill the entire 6th Street Gang, though this will likely result in a three-star bounty on the player. However the job is completed, with this Iconic assault rifle in hand, players will have a smart-targeting weapon, with self-guided micro-projectiles, which is made even more powerful when paired with the best skills in the Reflex skill tree.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia and Xbox One, and will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X in 2021.
