The Forsaken in the Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 is a small quest during which you can obtain the iconic Deserter shotgun. You can find out how to start the mission and where to find the shotgun in our guide.
How to start the “Forsaken” mission
In the “The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman” order, save the life of Leon Rinder. There are several ways to do this.
Towards the end of the dialogue, answer Rinder with “I advise you to choose your words”, and after that “Give me your badge” or “Call Regina and ask for help.” In any of the options, Rinder will remain alive, and after a few days he will send V a message with the coordinates of his cache.
Where to find the cache
The garage with Rinder's belongings is located between the coastal slums and Terra Cognita, and the easiest way to get to it is from the Terra Cognita Technology Park travel point.
Then follow under the bridge with the sign “par ing”. The cache is located in the garage with the access terminal. Enter the numbers that Rinder sent you on the code panel: 1975, and go into the garage.
Items and terminal
Shotgun
The iconic “Deserter” shotgun lies in a weapon box in the middle of the garage. It is a powerful weapon with one peculiarity: when fired, V spontaneously combusts.
Clothing
Located to the right of the shotgun In the box. Does not have unique value.
Terminal with Rinder's backstory
Near the left wall of the garage you can also find a terminal with a file and a message about Leon Rinder.
From them it becomes clear that Rinder began to lose his memory, and his comrades began to abandon him, and then Hansen himself. He did not help Rinder in any way, and the former mercenary had to raise money for his treatment himself. That's how he ended up in a motel with organ dealers.
Possible problems with the task
Before patch 2.02, it was possible to get to Rinder's garage before receiving the task if V had 20 “technique” points, or if you already knew the door code. With the release of patch 2.02, this error was corrected and before the start of the mission, the terminal with the code panel will simply be turned off.
“Forsaken – Fixed a bug due to which it was sometimes impossible to complete the task if you empty the cache before receiving a message with the code “.
Also, the task can complete itself when you simply approach the garage. If this happens, move away from the garage and return to it again. The task will become active again.
We hope that our guide helped you find the cache and pick up the iconic weapon.
