War Pigs is a Side Job in Cyberpunk 2077 (CP77). This walkthrough will guide you through all steps of the War Pigs Side Quest.
Area: Watson (Kabuki)
Quest Giver: Frank
Requirement: Complete Main Job “Transmission“, Must play Corpo Lifepath (EXCLUSIVE to Corporate Lifepath, not available for other Lifepaths)
Reward: 1140 XP / 2564 Street Cred
Mission Info: A voice from beyond the grave, the promise of dirt on old enemies… I’ll admit, I’m a little curious. But, in your shoes, I’d be careful with this one. Corpos are like wasps – they can sting even after they’re dead.
Objectives:
- Go To The indicated Location
- Talk To Johnny [Optional]
- Move The Dumpster
- Open The Briefcase
- Confront Frank
- Talk to Johnny
Flowchart: War Pigs
Starting Location: War Pigs
Go To The indicated Location
This quest is only available if you chose a corporate background at the beginning of the game. It will take into account the dialogue choices you made with a character named Frank during the opening of the game.
Head to the indicated location on the map, which will be underneath an underpass at a sex shop.
Talk To Johnny [Optional]
After arriving, Johnny will appear by the door and you can speak to him briefly by choosing the following dialogue options:
Dialogue:
- Got a few scores to settle.
Move The Dumpster
Look to your right to find the dumpster, which you can interact with to move.
Open The Briefcase
After moving the dumpster, look on the ground to find a briefcase you can open.
Confront Frank
Turn around to find Frank, standing by a turned over dumpster. Go up to him to confront him. Now your actions here will affect the resolution with this character, with two different paths, highlighted in the flowchart above.
You can either convince Frank to start a new life or fail to do so and have him attack you. In order to convince him to have a new life you need to do the following depending on if you explored all the dialogue with him in the prologue:
If you did explore all the dialogue options with him, choose the following dialogue options to convince him to start a new life:
Dialogue:
- You’re pathetic.
- Want you to open your eyes.
If you didn’t explore all the dialogue and want to convince Frank to start a new life choose the following options:
Dialogue:
- I’m nobody to Abernathy.
- Gotta start over.
Otherwise, the only way you can convince Frank to not start a new life is to have not explored all the dialogue options with him during the prequel and choose the following dialogue options:
Dialogue:
- I’m nobody to Abernathy.
- Not my problem.
Or you choose this dialogue option alone:
Dialogue:
- Here’s another idea – I kill you right here and now.
Talk To Johnny
This objective appears if you convince Frank to start a new life or choose or have to kill Frank. Johnny will appear, leaning on the wall to the side if you killed Frank, or on a couch in the corner if you send Frank off, at which point you can have a conversation and complete the mission.
This finishes War Pigs side quest job in Cyberpunk 2077 (CP77).

Weird… I thought I had explored all dialogue options, so I chose “You’re pathetic” and he called me arrogant, saying I was always too busy to talk, then attacked me.
So I reloaded and chose “I’m nobody to Abernathy”, to which he said he had nothing to lose, then attacked me.
So either the quest is bugged, or there’s a condition that makes it impossible to resolve peacefully.
The exact same thing happened to me, I thought I explored all the dialog options but every option I picked led to him attacking me.
