What does Street Cred do in Cyberpunk 2077?
Reputation in Cyberpunk 2077 is a single stat called Street Cred. Raising it unlocks more and better gigs from fixers and better weapons, clothing and cyberware at vendors. It does not change the main story or endings, and the game has no separate reputation with individual gangs or corporations, even though gang members react to what you do in a given mission.
What Street Cred unlocks
- Fixer gigs: higher Street Cred makes more side jobs available across Night City.
- Vendor stock: shops and ripperdocs offer higher-tier items as your Street Cred grows.
- A sense of progress: some characters remark on V's growing reputation, but this is flavor rather than a gameplay system.
Street Cred runs from 1 to 50. It is separate from your character level, which governs attribute and perk points.
How to raise Street Cred quickly
- Complete fixer gigs. They give steady Street Cred and money.
- Clear NCPD scanner hustles and crime reports marked on the map.
- Do side jobs and story missions, which give larger one-time boosts.
- Finish optional objectives in gigs, such as avoiding detection or keeping a target alive, when the gig offers a bonus.
What reputation does not do
It does not lock or unlock endings, affect romance options or make gangs permanently friendly or hostile. Choices inside specific quests matter, but they are tracked per quest, not as a global reputation.
FAQ
What is the max level in Cyberpunk 2077?
Update 2.0 raised the character level cap from 50 to 60. The Phantom Liberty expansion adds the extra Relic skill tree on top of that.
Can you max out every skill tree?
No. You do not get enough points to fill every attribute and perk tree in one playthrough, so you have to specialize.
What happens when you finish all of a fixer's gigs?
The fixer sends a message and usually a reward, and the related area of the map becomes quieter.
Does Street Cred affect the ending?
No. Endings depend on choices and relationships in the main and key side quests, not on your Street Cred.
