The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is loved by many players. This is also due to the many missions that you can face in Night City. But what if you fail in all missions where it is possible? A player has now tried this.
In Cyberpunk 2077 there are many missions. Among them are main missions within the story, but also side quests and objectives from fixers that you can face as a good mercenary to earn money.
Each of these types of missions has various tasks that can even fail if you do not perform well as a player. On YouTube, the player Big Dan Gaming has taken on the challenge of failing in every mission (where it is possible) in Cyberpunk 2077.
This not only leads to angry calls.
What kind of video is this? On the Big Dan Gaming channel, the content creator deals with various role-playing games and takes on different challenges. For example, he tried to kill everyone in Fallout: New Vegas. In a new YouTube video, he tried to fail in every mission in Cyberpunk 2077 where it is possible.
On Reddit, a user has summarized all the missions in which you can fail and the game does not simply restart. According to this list, there are 73 missions (Big Dan Gaming comes to 69 in his video), contracts, and side quests in which you can fail.

Running away and blowing up cars
What happens when you fail in missions? To lose certain tasks, it is usually enough to run away, destroy a car you were supposed to acquire, or eliminate a person you are supposed to save. In fixer missions, this usually results in receiving a pretty angry call and being insulted over the phone. People like Wakako even go so far as to threaten you with death.
However, there are also side missions where you can fail. This causes the story in the game to change. For example, if you simply run away during the mission Riders on the Storm by Panam when you have to wait at the camp, you will receive a message that Saul, the leader of the Aldecaldos, has died. Interestingly, he still calls you in the credits.
This affects how you can approach the last mission. Depending on which side quest you fail, it also prevents you from accessing further quests.
If you own the DLC Phantom Liberty, you can even fail in the very first main mission. You just have to run away before you reach Dogtown. This results in President Myers dying. After a fainting spell and an outburst from Songbird, you wake up again but can no longer play the Phantom Liberty story. However, thanks to Mr. Hands, you can still complete the side quests in Dogtown. The second main mission in the DLC is also fail-able and blocks the main quest for you.
In the main game, there is only one main mission where you can fail without the game loading a save point. If you make the right decision in the mission Chippin’ In, you can start the last mission (Don’t Fear) The Reaper. There you run alone into the Arasaka Tower, but if you die, the credits start, and the game ends.
Just because of the angry calls, it’s worth losing a few missions, but the story changes are also worth a look. We have summarized the best side characters in Night City for you here: The 5 coolest side characters from Cyberpunk 2077 who definitely deserved more story
