Cyberpunk 2o77 has had a seriously rough launch but undeniably has a lot of content for players to explore. Some of this content includes doing Hustles for the less than reputable police force of Night City. These can be fantastic ways to get rewards to make V more rich and powerful than ever before.
If the players want to, they can collect the Hidden Gems in the game. These tend to have fantastic loot and even legendary items to be found on dead bodies or in specific containers. These are unmarked on the map and some are even misplaced on the official guide for the game, making them incredibly difficult to track down without knowledge of where they are hidden.
NOTE: When trying to collect Hidden Gems, players need to be ready to combat the fact that the game is currently riddled with glitches. Unfortunately, Hidden Gems sometimes simply refuse to spawn. The only way to try and fix this is to leave the area, wait for 24 in-game hours, then return to see if the Hidden Gem has spawned. Also, as none of these Hidden Gems have names, we will simply be listing them in the order they appear in this article.
Hidden Gem 1
This Hidden Gem is just northeast of the Capitola Street fast travel point. Players should travel northeast from that point until they find a staircase that leads to a helipad. Several dead bodies and plenty of loot await them if they do.
Hidden Gem 2
This Hidden Gem is also close to Capitola Street, so players should start their journey there. Players will need to cross the main road and then head west while hugging the wall so they spot the staircase they need to go down. Once at the bottom, players can find the body they need to loot stuck in the mud amongst the trash.
Hidden Gem 3
Players need to fast travel to Sagan & Diamond to begin their hunt for this Hidden Gem. Players will need to cross the road and keep moving forward until they spot a white staircase to the right. They will find another set of stairs they must climb from here before taking a right towards some dumpsters and a fire escape. Players can climb onto the dumpster and then use the stairs to reach the loot they desire.
Hidden Gem 4
Gamers need to find a food store that sells sushi just south of the SOS Merc Needed gig Getting Warmer. If players walk forward, they will spot a large set of double stairs to the right. Take these stairs all the way to the end and take a right.
There will be a small barrier blocking industrial fans players can walk on. If they climb onto the power box in the middle, they can find this Hidden Gem.
Hidden Gem 5
Players should fast travel to Skyline & Salinas as it's the closest location to this Hidden Gem. Players will need to walk forward until they spot an area with several motorcycles parked. There is a long staircase here that V will have to climb all the way down. There are many enemies in the area so be sure to bring powerful weapons.
With all obstacles out of the way, players will have to climb down to where there are giant piles of trash. This Hidden Gem is located at the very end of this area.
Hidden Gem 6
Players need to go to the JoyToy store closest to Cherry Blossom Market. In the alleyway directly next to the JoyToy store there is a dumpster V needs to climb up before using their best parkour skills to jump onto the metal awnings nearby. From here, players need to simply keep going up until they reach a small shack with the body they need to loot inside.
Hidden Gem 7
Players should head slightly southeast where the Assault in Progress that requires them to loot the bag near the body of O’Brien is located. Players can find a set of stairs that takes them down to a crevasse-like alleyway with two enormous slowly spinning fans. There is a ladder here for V to climb to the left. Once there, players jump over a wooden barrier where they can spot this Hidden Gem to their left.
Hidden Gem 8
The easiest way to find this gem is by starting at the same staircase that leads to Hidden Gem 7. Players should make sure they are at the top of the stairs with the staircase to their right before heading forward. After going into an area lit up underneath a walkway, they'll find themself with a large fall to their right.
V would easily die trying to make such a big jump, but there are easy points players can safely drop down to as they make their way to the very bottom. The body they seek is among the massive piles of trash they'll find there.
Hidden Gem 9
V must head to the bottom of the large roundabout in Japantown. This is slightly northeast of a drop point. There will be a staircase V can go down until they spot a red platform. The safe they want to get into is at the end of it.
Hidden Gem 10
Players should head to the Food Store near where the SOS Merc Needed gig Wakako's Favorite can be found. The store is Xiao Ginger Panon Xiongmao (The Ginger Panda). There is a staircase directly to the right players should climb up. They'll spot a barrier they need to jump to find the Hidden Gem.
Hidden Gem 11
This is one of the easiest Hidden Gems to find. Players should fast travel to Crescent & Broad. Then all V needs to do is turn around to see the crashed van that contains the loot they need which includes a Legendary Item.
Hidden Gem 12
This Hidden Gem is southeast of the Metro: Japantown South fast travel point. It's located on the lower road in the area. Players will need to run through the mall area nearby until they find a dumpster. If they take one more right, this last body to loot is easily in sight.
