To deactivate the laser mine, you need to find the detonator and shut it off, which is located in a small room next to the door where Brick’s cell is. It is fairly easy to open the door, you can find the passcode (which is 9691) on a nearby laptop, or hack into the door with remote deactivation if you have the tech skills. To rescue Brick, you need to open up the room door, protected by a passcode, then deactivate a laser trip mine to save him. Brick used to be in charge of the Maelstrom, before Royce overthrew him right before you met them to buy the Flathead. Trying to fight them, however, doesn’t include the previous Maelstrom leader Brick, who is actually being held captive in the food warehouse by Royce. The real reward for siding with the Maelstrom is getting through the quest easily, and gaining the help of Royce and his lieutenant named Dum-Dum for a side job titled "Second Conflict." Rewards for Siding with the Maelstrom Of course, violence is always an option here too. Either way, siding against Militech sees the death of Stout happen, with Gilchrist taking her place. If you side with the Maelstrom above by telling them about the virus on the credchip, Stout still dies in the fight and Gilchrist will also take her place in the end. Stout would then be killed off-screen, and replaced by the character Gilchrist, who Stout has been holding hostage. If you avoid meeting Stout and head straight to the warehouse and you buy the Flathead from Royce, no fight occurs between both the Maelstrom and Militech. Thankfully, this is one of the few times in-game where Militech will go after you directly.

Militech is no exception, and while the Maelstrom will help you fight Militech, they can be overwhelming if you are not careful. Pretty much siding with Militech means siding with Stout, so players who don’t like the way she treats you may want to keep that in mind. All of the options above regarding the purchase of the Flathead would be available to you, so simply pick the ones that would allow you to fight the Maelstrom and you are good.Ĭorporations are massive in Cyberpunk 2077, especially when they have some strong firepower to back themselves up.

The only two options that lead out of the food warehouse without killing Royce or the Maelstrom is to either pay for the Flathead with your own eddies or give Royce the cracked version of the credchip from Stout while warning them about the virus. Ask for a discount, then confront Royce which gives the option to shoot him in the head immediately.Eventually, Royce will confront you regarding payment, attempting to make you pay for the Flathead. To side with the Maelstrom, you need to purchase the Flathead and leave without any bloodshed with the gang, which is easier said than done as tensions run high between gang members, yourself, and your companion Jackie. Cyberpunk 2077 - Siding with the Maelstrom Working with Maelstrom is easier than it looks.

So you basically have multiple pathways to choose from, but they all boil down to two key choices, do you side with Militech and Stout, or side with the Maelstrom and Royce. You only need to clear stage one of the minigame to clean the credchip, but if you also get the level two hack complete, you reverse engineer the daemon that’s infecting the credchip for yourself to use on your own cyberdeck. The credchip can be cleaned, however, by removing the virus with a hacking mini-game that is fairly easy to solve.

The code matrix for the credchip is pretty simple, so if you want to hack it, go for it.
