Requirement: Must be Street Cred Level 35+ and finish Main Job “Ghost Town”.
Reward: €$11,600 / 565 XP / Street Cred XP
Mission Info: Gig type: Gun for Hire
Objective: Neutralize Rebeca Price
Location: Data Inc. Sore in Heywood
Details:
I’m guessing you don’t follow the stock market, but recently Militech has been lagging behind everyone else. Just stroll through Corpo Plaza and you’ll see their HQ abuzz like a hornet’s nest. You can tell they’re just itching for an excuse to send the armed cavalry into the city.
You’ve got reasonable people telling you not to get under the corps’ skins, and then you have Rebeca Price, who decides to open a fucking store selling hacked (and previously stolen) Militech equipment. It’s not that I don’t value small business – on the contrary! It’s just that not having the fucking army on our streets is something I value more.
Rebeca Price needs to disappear. The “how” is your call. I won’t go into the fine details. And I’m sure you know what to do if any Animals get in you way. They of all creatures should understand the importance of balance in our delicate little ecosystem.
Objectives:
- Enter the electronics store
- Reach the back of the store
- Find a way to the basement
- Find Rebeca Price
- Neutralize Rebeca Price
- Carry Rebeca out of the store
- Leave the store
Starting Location: Hot Merchandise

Enter the electronics store
Your objective for this gig is to get into the basement of this electronics store and take out a woman there. You can either go through the front of the store or through the back, depending on whether you want to do this stealthy or not (there’s no reason specifically for rewards).
Reach the back of the store
If you’re going through the front, then you just shoot through the enemies inside to get to the back (you can’t really stealth in through the front because of the number of enemies and how small the area is). If you want to go through the back stealth is much more viable. You can either force the large shutter open with 15 BODY, open it with a quickhack, or open the door to the left with 15 TECHNICAL ABILITY.
Find a way to the basement
There will be one enemy in this back room of the store, then you can take the door to the right down a flight of stairs to get to the basement.
Find Rebeca Price
Follow the only path you have around to the left to reach the main room of the basement.
Neutralize Rebeca Price
In the basement, there will be one Animal and Rebeca, who doesn’t move away from the computer she is at. You can wait for the other enemy to move the left of the room and take them out stealth, then deal with Rebeca.
Carry Rebeca out of the store
If you didn’t kill Rebeca, you will receive an objective to take her outside and place her in the trunk of a waiting car.
Leave the store
If you did kill her, you just need to leave the area of the store to complete this gig.
This finishes Hot Merchandise gig in Cyberpunk 2077 (CP77).

There’s also a shutter you can open on the back right, no skill check. I had enough body and tech to open the other options but still, good to know for others
For some reason both Rebecca and her bodyguard don’t react on you at all untill you start a fight. Probably there intended to be a talk option.
Seems like it. since if you read the shards, it shows that Rebecca was forced to do what she’s doing. There’s a story behind the quest. Like there’s supposed to be a way to help her out of it. She also looks pretty well designed just for a character that you just kill off.
