On this page of the guide you'll find a description of the gig Waiting for Dodger, which you can take in the Phantom Liberty expansion in Cyberpunk 2077. In the walkthrough we explain how to unlock the gig, where to find the officers in the former police station, how to escort Bill and Charles, and how to act during the encounter with Dodger in the underground parking lot.

• Unlocking the gig and meeting with Stella
• Entering Dodger's base
• Finding Bill and Charles
• Escorting Bill and Charles to the police car
• Confrontation with Dodger

Unlocking the gig and meeting with Stella

1. You meet Stella at the location near the Dogtown gate where you start the gig - as shown in the picture. Take a seat in her vehicle in the passenger seat.
2. The gig involves rescuing NCPD officers from Dodger's base - a thug who is one of Hansen's men. You'll also receive an access card from Stella.

Entering Dodger's base

1. You have to go to the former police station from the Pacifica district. The most obvious option is to choose the main entrance to the police station.
2. Alternatively, you can, for instance, reach the rooftop. There is a hatch on it (as shown in the picture), but opening it requires at least 7 points of the technical Ability attribute.

Finding Bill and Charles

1. There is a large group of opponents at the police station- you can defeat them in direct fight, attack them by surprise, distract them (e.g. by hacking devices), or bypass them (rely on minimap indications).
2. Ultimately, you must reach the elevator, as shown in the picture. Use it to reach the basement of the police station.

1. You'll discover that Bill and Charles are hiding in a room in the basement. Start by getting rid of the gang member who is trying to get to them.
2. Introduce yourself during the conversation. You must open the door - you can help Charlie pull it open or do it yourself (9 points of the body Ability attribute required).

Escorting Bill and Charles to the police car

1. Talk to the officers and you'll find out how troublesome their situation is. You have to go with Bill and Charles towards the underground parking lot.
2. On the way to the parking lot you'll meet gang members - you can surprise them (remember to eliminate them without killing them) or defeat them in open fight.
3. You'll reach a closed door on the way. You can open them by force (12 points of the body Ability attribute required) or explore the adjacent room and find the fuse box, as shown int the picture. Get around its security measures.

Confrontation with Dodger

Once you reach the police car, Dodger will appear in the underground parking lot. This encounter can have two main outcomes:

1. Attacking Dodger and his men - You can attack him by choosing to draw your weapon or if the conversation is misdirected. Use vehicles as a cover. It's also worth looting Dodger's corpse, as he was carrying a unique Rosco revolver.

1. Convincing Dodger to let the officers go - Tell Dodger that Bill lied (the second dialogue option, as in the image above). This will allow officers to describe the course of events.
2. Dodger can let you go if you haven't killed his men before, so if you stunned or bypassed them. Otherwise, he'll attack V and the police officers.

Whatever option you choose, talk to Bill and Charles. The gig will end, you'll get a call from Mr. Hands and receive eurodollars.
