Finding your digital belongings in Night City is crucial for survival and stylish living! The stash in Cyberpunk 2077 is a centralized inventory system accessible from multiple locations. Think of it as your personal, interlinked storage, allowing you to hoard weapons, outfits, and consumables without having to lug everything around on V’s person. This is essential, considering Night City’s… ahem… acquisition-friendly environment. Your stash is accessible from V’s apartment and the trunks of any vehicles you own. Whatever you store in one location is instantly available in all the others.
Understanding the Stash: Your Digital Safe Haven
The stash isn’t just a place to dump your unwanted loot. It’s a strategic resource, a fashion hub, and a visual showcase of your accomplishments. Let’s break down the key aspects:
Accessibility is Key
The beauty of the stash system lies in its accessibility. Whether you’re fresh off a heist, cruising through the Badlands, or relaxing (as much as one can in Night City) in your apartment, your belongings are always within reach. No more frantic searches for vendors to offload excess gear! Everything is shared among vehicle trunks and V’s apartment.
The Iconic Weapon Wall
This is where things get personal. As you progress through the main story and side quests of Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll come across iconic weapons: unique, powerful items with special properties. Once you acquire these weapons and store them in your stash, they’ll be displayed on a dedicated wall in V’s apartment. This isn’t just for show; it’s a visual record of your journey through Night City, a testament to the challenges you’ve overcome, and a reminder of the choices you’ve made.
Managing Your Inventory
While the stash offers ample storage, it’s still wise to manage your inventory effectively. Break down unwanted weapons and clothing for crafting components, sell surplus consumables, and strategically store the gear you’ll need for upcoming missions. While there’s no “stealing” per se, acquiring and managing your resources is paramount.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the Cyberpunk 2077 Stash
Here are some common questions players have about the stash system in Cyberpunk 2077, and how to best utilize it:
1. How do I access my stash?
On PC, press the ‘I’ key to bring up your inventory. Then navigate to the stash tab. On consoles, use the options/menu button to access the inventory and then find the stash tab. You can access the stash from V’s apartment and the trunk of any vehicle you own.
2. Where is V’s apartment located?
V’s first apartment is located in Megabuilding H10 in Watson. As you progress, you unlock the ability to purchase additional apartments in different districts, expanding your stash access points.
3. How do I display weapons on the stash wall?
Simply place iconic weapons in your stash. The game automatically recognizes them and displays them on the wall.
4. What happens if I lose an iconic weapon?
Losing an iconic weapon is a major bummer! Unless the item can be re-obtained from a vendor, you will not be able to have it in your stash again unless starting another play through.
5. Can I store stolen cars in my stash?
Unfortunately, no. While you can “borrow” vehicles in Night City, you can’t permanently add them to your garage or store them in your stash. Your ownership is only temporary.
6. How do I increase my carrying capacity?
Your carrying capacity is primarily determined by your Body attribute. Increasing Body allows you to carry more gear. You can also use Capacity Boosters, which temporarily increase your carrying capacity.
7. What’s the maximum level I can reach in Cyberpunk 2077?
The maximum level in Cyberpunk 2077 is 60. Each level grants you attribute points to further customize your character.
8. Can I max out all my attributes?
No. You can only max out three attributes to level 20 with points left over for the two remaining attributes. This encourages specialization and build diversity.
9. Where can I sell unwanted items?
You can sell items at vending machines scattered throughout Night City and at various vendors in shops and marketplaces. Look for the “Drop Point” icons on your map.
10. What should I do with Skippy?
The Skippy quest presents a moral dilemma. You can either return Skippy to Regina Jones or keep him. Returning Skippy allows her to do a factory reset wiping his memory and renaming him “Daisy.” If you refuse, Skippy will be upset and call you a bad user. The decision impacts Skippy’s personality and functionality.
11. Should I pick up everything I find?
Yes! Pick up everything you can. You can either sell it for eddies or disassemble it for crafting components. Even seemingly worthless items contribute to your economy and crafting potential. Plus, sometimes you find unique shards that add to the overall lore.
12. How do I refresh a shop’s inventory?
Shop inventories, especially clothing stores, are random and refresh every 24 hours in-game time. You can pass the time by sleeping, skipping time, or completing missions.
13. What is the best Sandevistan?
The Militech “Apogee” Sandevistan is widely considered the best, offering a significant time-slowing effect and headshot damage multiplier.
14. What is the best attribute to level up?
The “best” attribute depends on your play style, however the Reflex attribute is a very powerful attribute to consider leveling up first. This determines your proficiency with weapons like Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles, and Blades.
15. What are some of the best weapons in the game?
Some of the top weapons include the Overwatch sniper rifle, Malorian Arms 3516 pistol, Murphy’s Law hammer, and Lizzie tech pistol. Experiment with different weapon types to find what suits your play style. Remember, the Black Market Vendor in Dogtown’s EBM Petrochem Stadium offers some unique finds, like the Order Shotgun!
