Cyberpunk 2077 Space Oddity Walkthrough

Space Oddity is a Side Job in Cyberpunk 2077 (CP77). This walkthrough will guide you through all steps of the Space Oddity Side Quest.

Area: Santo Domingo (Rancho Coronado)
Quest Giver: N/A, starts automatically
Requirement: Complete Main Job “Playing for Time”
Reward: Quest Item: Untitled 18 – Brancesi, 2021 (painting that can be sold for €$4000), 570 XP, 1282 Street Cred
Mission Info: Every bum in this town dreams someday they’ll hit the jackpot on something they dug up in a dumpster and it’ll transform their life. A briefcase stuffed with eddies, a shard holding big company secrets, a cuttin’ edge implant that’ll pawn for a few dozen Gs. Problem is, usually whoever “misplaced” the thing to begin with is probably still lookin’ for it – and they ain’t in a good mood. Do these poor street rats a favor and take this case off their hands. Before the previous owner shows up and decides to make target practice out of ’em.

Objectives:

• Talk to the Bums
• Find the body of the suitcase’s owner
• Examine the body
• Scan the area for clues (optional) / Examine the suitcase (optional)
• Take the access shard
• Slot the access shard into the suitcase
• Browse the files on the computer
• Go to the Drop Point
• Defeat all enemies (0/7)
• Open the Package
• Talk to Johnny

Starting Location: Space Oddity

The quest start is found in Santo Domingo (Rancho Coronado).

Talk to the Bums

Once you arrive at the quest location, talk to the bums there. Depending on your choices there are a few outcomes here:

• “I’ll buy it off you” > you can pay them €$2000 if the other options don’t work for you. But see the 3rd option how to get it for free (shooting them)
• “STREETKID – That suitcase is more trouble than it’s worth” > they will let you have it for free, just got to find the key.
• “I’m done talking with you” > doesn’t advance the quest but you can simply shoot the guy you talked to and then proceed to finding the key (it will give you the main objectives anyway)
• “Give it to me. Now [8 Body Attribute]” > they will let you have it for free, just got to find the key.

The easiest options are to have 8 Body Attribute, or if you’re on the Streetkid Lifepath choose that exclusive option. If you have neither, just shoot the guy in the head and the other bums will run off.

If you have at least Intelligence Level 5 Attribute, you can hack into the laptop right away and can skip the next few steps. Continue at objective “Browse the files on the computer“.

Find the body of the suitcase’s owner

If you don’t have a high-enough Technical skill, you must find the suitcase’s owner. He’s dead, by the dumpsters just around the left corner of the building where you talked to the bums (same building where the laptop is). In the screenshots below refer to the minimap in the top right corner.

Examine the body

After finding the body, interact with it.

Scan the area for clues (optional) / Examine the suitcase (optional)

These objectives auto-complete when you take the shard, see below.

Take the access shard

Loot the access shard off the dead body.

Slot the access shard into the suitcase

Return to the laptop (where you talked to the Bums) and plug in the access shard you just found.

Browse the files on the computer

After interacting with the computer, select the “Files” section and click the “launch.exe”. This will triangulate the location of the stolen art you’re supposed to find.

Go to the Drop Point

The next objective marker is in the southern Badlands. Drive or fast travel there.

Defeat all enemies (0/7)

Once you arrive, clear out the group of 7 enemies. You can easily pick them off from afar with a sniper rifle, doing headshots. You should be level 20+ so that they no longer show red skull icons. If they show as red skulls they will kill you in 2 hits and you wouldn’t be able to stealth-takedown them.

Open the Package

After the enemies are dead, you automatically get a marker for what looks like a crashed space probe that fell out of the sky. It’s in the middle of the area where the enemies were standing. This gains you the purple mission item “Untitled 18 – Brancesi, 2021” (Space Oddity Painting).

Talk to Johnny

Johnny will automatically start talking to you and then the mission is complete.

Space Oddity Painting Money Exploit

Before you go sell that painting, beware it can be used for an exploit that gives you 1 Million Eurodollars every 50 Minutes. This is tested on Patch 1.06 on all platforms, but may get patched in the future.

Here’s how to sell the Space Oddity Painting repeatedly for money:

1. Go to any Drop Point on the map. It’s recommended you make a Manual Save now, in case something goes wrong.
   • You’ll want to sell “Untitled 18 – Brancesi, 2021” for $4000.
   • Then exit the Drop Point (  / ), interact with it again. Now the item can be bought back for $5 instead of $4000. Buy it back for $5!
   • The item can be sold again for $4000. You make a $3995 profit each time you do this and it only takes a few seconds. Repeat as often as you like.
2. After the Drop Point runs out of money, skip time by 24 hours via the Menu. Then it will have $20,000 again and you can farm as much money as you like. Just don’t leave the item inside the Drop Point machine when you skip time because then it would disappear. Always make sure you got it in your inventory before you skip time!
