Hack the Gibson

Update 1. 0. 3 - New version adds NCPD heat to the player if they fail a hack (configurable, can be turns off or turned up).

HACK THE GIBSON

An unsecured datamine relay for every terminal in Night City.

THE IDEA

Netrunning is the only build in Cyberpunk 2077 with no way to practise it.

A solo can go looking for a fight. A blades build can walk into a scav den at three in the morning and come out better at what it does. But breach protocol only happens where the game decides to put an access point, and when it does, the daemon list is chosen for you — a camera shutdown you do not need, a turret override in a room with no turrets, and if you are lucky, a datamine buried behind them.

The one thing a netrunner would actually want to do on purpose — sit down at a terminal and pull money out of the net — is the one thing the game never lets you choose.

WHAT IT DOES

Adds a page to the computer browser: HACK THE GIBSON.

Open it on any working terminal in the game and you get three targets to breach. Pick one and the breach protocol minigame opens with exactly three daemons staged — Datamine V1, V2 and V3 — and nothing else. No camera malfunctions. No turret shutdowns. Just the loot.

Upload what your buffer can reach and you are paid in eddies, quickhack components and quickhack crafting specs, scaled to your Netrunner skill.

THREE TARGETS

• []Breach // User Distro — 5x5 grid, 60 second trace, short daemon strings. Baseline payout.[/]

  []Breach // Corporate Intranet — 6x6 grid, 45 second trace, longer strings. Double payout.[/]

  []Breach // Government Database — 7x7 grid, 30 second trace, long strings and one buffer slot short. Triple payout.[/]

  The board is not a difficulty label attached to the same puzzle. A bigger grid with longer sequences and less time is a genuinely harder solve, and on Government Database you will often have to choose wh
