Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has brought Dogtown to Night City, and among the chaos and blood are some pretty cool new areas for players to explore. It’s been a long road for Cyberpunk 2077, but the game is in the best state it could possibly be in, and Phantom Liberty adds an array of exciting new content, especially with its new locations to make players marvel at the work that CD Projekt RED has done.
Cyberpunk 2077: 12 Saddest Deaths, Ranked
A lot of tragic moments exist in Cyberpunk 2077. Unfortunately, these characters met sad and untimely ends.
The coolest areas in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty come from within Dogtown, in which players will find all manners of interest locations. Whether it’s an area useful for its vendors, or simply a cool spot to hang out with Johnny and admire the views, Phantom Liberty certainly has it all. Although, players should probably keep their guns on them.
8 Haven Clinic
Religion may seem rare in Cyberpunk 2077, but when it is present, it’s usually seen in a good light. Enter the Haven Clinic in Dogtown to find those in desperate need of God, for those that visit the clinic are at death’s door, and use the area as a sanctuary for safety. Protected by Odell and the Ripperdoc, Anderson, the clinic is great for those in need of help, and it’s also a nice area for those that enjoy some neon visuals.
Although the many sickly patients may not be to the taste of every player, the place of worship and the neon vibrancy of the Christian crosses scattered around the Haven make for an interesting location worth visiting, or for a place to pray that the Relic won’t kill V.
7 Night City’s International and Translunar
Night City’s International and Translunar location is a new addition, opened to Night City thanks to the release of Phantom Liberty. Inside, players are going to find a few vendors and clinics that might help players grab some items here and there, but the real interest comes from the fact that Night City finally has a way out thanks to its glorified airport.
This location is a far cry from Dogtown and Pacifica, and it’s a nice and clean location where players can expect not to get shot in the back of the head by a Scav or one of the other dangerous gangs in Cyberpunk 2077. However, they do need the stomach to handle corporations if they are to go here.
6 Songbird’s Comfort Place
Located in Dogtown, players can find a lovely spot worth visiting. A spot that was once declared as a safe place for Songbird when she was stationed in Dogtown. Although there isn’t often much bonding to be had in this location, it’s still worth visiting for the memories, and for Songbird. The overgrown fauna and the usual crowd of Scavs make it feel wild and abandoned, but equally nice.
Cyberpunk 2077: All Changes in Update 2.0
Update 2.0 has brought about many new exciting changes and additions to Cyberpunk 2077.
Looking out from the rubble, players also have a great view of Dogtown, including the broken neon signs and panels that show off the watchful eyes of Kurt Hansen, the ruler of Dogtown who seems to be present everywhere within the district.
5 Terra Cognita
Terra Cognita is perhaps the biggest example of Dogtown being a failure. This failed Night City district could have had it all, but instead, it became a wild land, where drugs run rampant, and the homeless epidemic is at an all-time high. Come to Terra Cognita and discover what Kurt Hansen hides about Dogtown, as these are the real slums. Although with all the dangers, players might want to reach the max level in Cyberpunk 2077 for added protection.
This area seemed so promising for prosperous activity, but it has been reduced to a drug den and base of operation for Scavs, and a shelter for Cyberpsychos. Terra Cognita is a grand area worth exploring, but a dangerous one.
4 EBM Petrochem Stadium
The first area players will visit upon illegally entering Dogtown is the EBM Petrochem Stadium. This grand Stadium can be seen as a HUB of sorts, due to the vast amount of vendors found here. Players can expect all sorts of black market and illegal goods to improve their arsenal of weapons and Cyberware, including a vendor specifically for those without Iconic weapons in Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077: Where to Find John Wick Easter Egg
The feared Baba Yaga, John Wick, has a surprising easter egg waiting for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty players.
The fog and abundance of neon signs make the Petrochem Stadium worthy of a visit, even if players might have to get past the power-hungry Barghest soldiers and the abundance of trash lying around. The Stadium is a great location, with plenty of statues and mysteries to uncover.
3 Longshore Shacks
At the Longshore Shacks, players can find a civilized area of Dogtown in which the people just want to live. The Longshore Shacks is perhaps the only living piece of nature, with a bare and dry tree at its center. This piece is surrounded by lit lanterns and pictures of the deceased, showing the irony that the only living thing in Dogtown is a dedicated memorial to the deceased, something Johnny Silverhand notes.
At the Longshore Shacks, players can find a few useful vendors, as well as The Moth, a bar that’s perfect for patrons that want to drink their sorrows away, or for castaway FIA agents who are in need of a base of operations.
2 Heavy Hearts Club
The Heavy Hearts Club is a place known for its Ancient Egyptian scenery, dance floor, and rough protection. The Heavy Hearts Club is somehow the most sophisticated place in all of Dogtown, and that’s most likely due to the fact that Mr. Hands resides here in the Private Rooms upstairs, and refuses to have anyone cause trouble when he’s trying to work as the elusive Fixer for Dogtown and Pacifica.
Inside the Heavy Hearts Club, players can enjoy the neon dance floor, and even have a face-to-face with Mr. Hands for the first time. It’s not just the inside that counts, as the exterior of the Heavy Hearts Club is hard to miss thanks to its distinct pyramid shape, and the emitting green beam of light that shoots into the sky.
1 The Black Sapphire
The crown jewel of Dogtown, the Black Sapphire is where players will find the majority of the Barghest forces, due to the fact that this is where Kurt Hansen does his business, and invites all the rich, famous, and powerful to converse and party. The Black Sapphire is a great place to visit, that is, if players have a one-time invitation. The parties here are grand, and those in attendance are larger than life.
Outside the lush parties, the Black Sapphire is used as a base for the Barghest to keep their control over Dogtown. Although players aren’t free to visit this spot at any time they so choose, it’s still a wonder to behold, especially when it holds well over 99 floors, all of which are most likely in use for some shady dealing.
