Cyberpunk 2o77's launch has undeniably been one of the worst launches in gaming history. Even with the game having tons of bugs the game still has a lot of content for players to explore. V can do Hustles for the NCPD to make cash and earn rewards.
If so inclined, V can collect Hidden Gems for the NCPD. Found by looting corpses or boxes, these discoveries contain datashards that highlight the items' histories and usually cool loot. As Hidden Gems are left unmarked on the map, finding them is not that easy.
NOTE: As Cyberpunk 2077 has a few glitches, Hidden Gems have been known to not spawn on occasion. Frustrating as this can be, a potential way to correct it is to step away from the location for 24 in-game hours. This guide will also list the Hidden Gems by the order they are found.
Hidden Gem 1
Players need to head to the bridge that spans between Corpo Plaza and Japantown to find this Hidden Gem. V needs to be standing on the edge of the bridge near Masala Studios. The location also has a wire sparking nearby as well as a small piece of cardboard laying next to an empty bottle.
From here, it's time to go for a swim! Players need to dive straight into the water (don't worry, no fall damage should be taken here). Players will need to swim down a short way before they find the body they need to loot.
Hidden Gem 2
The fastest way to get to this Hidden Gem is to start by fast traveling to Ring Road. From here, players need to head away from the drop point that is located nearby, staying on the road that curves to the left. At the end of that road, players take a sharp right, go a short distance, then take a left before stopping near where a bunch of storage containers are stacked.
Players need to walk in between both sets of containers, looking for a blue container with an open door on their right. The loot they seek can be found inside.
Hidden Gem 3
This one is very close to where Hidden Gem 2 is located, and players looking for it will have the easiest time if they start directly from its location. Players should turn around and cross the road, fitting through a small gap as they go forward. Once possible, players should then take a right.
Once players spot the vending machines, they need to jump on top. Try to avoid the barbed-wire while getting over, and turn around. There's a body hidden in the dark in the corner. Go get that loot!
Hidden Gem 4
Players should go to the fast travel point Metro: Republic Way. Players should take a left when exiting the building and continue onward until they reach a staircase that has a Budget Arms vending machine to the left once players reach the top.
Climb onto that vending machine and then to the roof above it. There's a body hidden in the crevices between some air vents. Loot it and get the goods which include a legendary item.
Hidden Gem 5
Players need to head to the center circle of Corpo Plaza, making sure they aren't on the roads that go underneath it, but up above. Just south of Araska Tower, players can spot a neon Petrochem sign. The body they need to loot is hidden in some bushes under a walkway where the sign is visible from a distance. Grab the goods and get hunting the next Hidden Gem!
Hidden Gem 6
The easiest way to locate this one is to start from the same point where Hidden Gem 5 is collected. Players need to make sure the Petrochem sign is to V's left before heading straight. Players will do down several flights of stairs before they jump over a ledge and reach the main road.
From there, players need to find the door slightly to the right to get into. It takes a level five Technical Ability to get into the door, but players can jump over if they have particularly impressive parkour skills. Once inside, the body is easy for players to get to and loot.
Hidden Gem 7
Players should look at the fast travel point Reconciliation Park, find the dropbox to the northwest of it, then draw straight lines in their mind to form a triangle. The topmost point of the triangle is where players need to be to start the search. They will be right near a three-way intersection.
Once there, players will need to sneak into the alleyway nearby in the space between two walls. Once in the alleyway, players need to head left until they see some pipes to climb. Players can then jump off the pips to find the dead bodies they need to loot.
Hidden Gem 8
The fastest way to get V to this Hidden Gem is by starting in Reconciliation Park. Players need to follow the wooden bridge until they spot a crashed motorcycle. Players should jump into the water in this spot to find the body they need to loot under the water.
