📋 About This Mod

IMPORTANT: CHOOSE YOUR CAREER PATH

I Want Them Alive now supports two progression modes.

The first time you access the Fixer//Net website from an apartment computer, you can choose how the bounty-hunting career interacts with V’s normal progression.

Full Career

The complete progression-overhaul experience. Highly recommended!

Requires a fresh level 1 character.

Fixer//Net Rank and character level advance together.

Normal XP-based leveling is disabled.

V gains levels by completing certification objectives and accepting promotions through Fixer//Net.

Recommended for players who want the entire playthrough structured around the bounty-hunting career.

Independent Career

By popular demand, this is your vanilla progression option for established saves.

Fixer//Net Rank advances independently from character level.

Normal XP, character leveling, and Street Cred progression remain active.

Certification still provides Fixer//Net ranks, stipends, objectives, status, and career unlocks without controlling V’s level.

Designed for established saves or players who want the bounty-hunting career alongside the normal game.

Both paths retain the core live-capture system, fixer deliveries, certification checklists, requests, Notorious Marks, career statistics, payouts, and Fixer//Net content. The primary difference is whether Fixer//Net replaces character leveling or operates as a separate career.

Description

A complete mercenary career and level advancement overhaul. Become Night City's premier licensed bounty hunter!

I Want Them Alive transforms non-lethal combat into a complete progression system built around subduing perpetrators, live-target transport, district fixer relationships, career advancement, and increasingly dangerous contracts.

The fixers of Night City have decided that the criminals of Night City are much more valuable when they can still answer questions. More information means better business.

To capitalize on that opportunity, they've launched Fixer//Net—an automated bounty certification network that rewards enterprising mercs for bringing targets in alive.

As Night City's newest recruit, V earns payouts by completing the

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay overhaul that turns non-lethal takedowns into a structured bounty hunter career via Fixer//Net.

Includes live capture, fixer deliveries, certifications, Notorious Marks, and payouts. For players who want a non-lethal mercenary playthrough.

✨ Key Features

Two progression modes: Full Career replaces XP-based leveling with Fixer//Net ranks for fresh level 1 characters, Independent Career keeps normal leveling and Street Cred.
Full Career mode requires a fresh level 1 character and disables normal XP leveling; levels come from certification objectives and promotions.
Independent Career mode is designed for established saves, letting Fixer//Net rank advance separately while vanilla XP and Street Cred remain active.
Both modes retain live capture, fixer deliveries, certification checklists, requests, Notorious Marks, career statistics, payouts, and Fixer//Net content.
Career progression includes district fixer relationships, dangerous contracts, and live-target transport.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solves a real gap: vanilla Cyberpunk has no real payoff for non-lethal play, and this turns it into a full career loop.
  • Two progression paths let you go all-in on a new character or keep your current save without losing Street Cred.
  • Updated August 2026, so it's not left to rot like many Cyberpunk mods.

⚠️ Cons

  • Full Career disables normal XP leveling, so it's incompatible with the way many players expect progression and clashes with other XP mods.
  • Forces a fresh level 1 character for the full experience; established Vs are stuck with Independent Career only.
  • Non-lethal capture focus means you'll be babysitting live targets and avoiding lethal takedowns, which gets old if you prefer guns-blazing.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who want a structured non-lethal bounty hunter career with ranks, certifications, and fixer contracts. Perfect for completionists who enjoy progression checklists and escalating targets. Skip if you just want to zero everyone — this mod punishes kills and rewards live captures.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Decide which career path you want before first opening Fixer//Net — Full Career needs a fresh level 1 character, Independent Career works on existing saves.
  • Open the Fixer//Net website from an apartment computer to trigger the choice, then follow the certification objectives.
  • Lean into non-lethal weapons (PAX mod) and quickhacks (System Reset) so you don't accidentally flatline a mark.
