As players work through the Lucretia My Reflection main mission in Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC, they will find themselves in an apartment with NUSA President Rosalind Myers. Here, V will be presented with a choice that centers around taking an oath of service to the New United States of America, and some fans may want more information about this decision before they make it. This guide is here to provide that information, and it will help players determine if they should take the oath in Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC.
Cyberpunk 2077: Should You Take the Oath in Phantom Liberty?
To put things simply, this decision is purely an opportunity to roleplay, and players should feel free to select the option that is most in line with their imagining of V. Indeed, the Cyberpunk 2077 protagonist will receive the FIA coin and be made a member of the agency even if the player opts to skip the oath, and all the DLC's content, including its multiple endings, will be accessible regardless of the choice that is made.
That said, it is worth mentioning that V will receive varying responses from the NUSA President and Johnny depending on how they deal with the choice regarding the oath. More specifically, Silverhand will have some choice words for V if he goes through with the oath, while Myers be disappointed if he does not. Once again, these reactions do not have any real impact on gameplay, or the way in which Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC unfolds, but they may be important to some players nonetheless.
To note, it is not unusual for choices in Cyberpunk 2077 to serve exclusively as avenues for roleplaying. However, there are some Side Jobs and Gigs in the Phantom Liberty DLC with choices that determine the rewards that are granted at the end, and players may want to use manual saves as a way to explore the consequences associated with these decisions. There are also some choices in the later main missions that lead to different endings, and manual saves are once again a good way to quickly access the diverging branches.
For those players that are curious, those ending-altering choices begin to appear during the 10th main mission in Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC. That mission is called Firestarter, and indeed fans can rest easy knowing that none of the choices that they make prior to it will affect the endings that they can ultimately access.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
