Network Watch or Voodooists in Cyberpunk 2077 - a choice that must be made as part of the passage of the main plot. During the quest “Pattern Recognition”, V, in order to free Bridget, will go to the Grand Imperial Mall to find a network watch agent there. He will present the hero with a choice: support his faction or remain with the Voodooists.
In the article we will tell you who is better to choose - Voodooists or Network Watch in Cyberpunk 2077. Read on to find out what will happen if you neutralize or release an agent of Network Watch.
Which side to take: Network Watch or Voodooists
Network Watch Agent in Cyberpunk 2077 will tell V that the Voodooists have infected him/her with a deadly virus. Allowing the man to download the necessary files will destroy the malware and also rescue Bridget. The hero can agree to the proposed conditions and betray the Voodooists, or kill the agent.
Both options have certain consequences that must be taken into account in order to make a choice. Next, we will analyze in detail what will happen if you stand on each side.
To the side of the Network Watch agent
By agreeing to give the agent the necessary data, you will not only save his life, but will also be freed from the Voodoo trap.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
The Network Watch agent will kill several people belonging to the Voodooists. After this, the bodies can be looted, picking up good items that will be useful in the future: clothing, weapon attachments and components. | It will not be possible to leave the premises unharmed, since now the territory will be hostile. Return to the main chapel and defeat Placid to get the key with which you can escape from the building. |
After completing the mission you will have to fight Placid. As a reward for defeating an enemy, you will receive his jacket. | Johnny will be unhappy with the choice. If you try to save with him good relationship, it is better to refrain from such an outcome. |
This option seems more correct from a moral point of view, since it saves the hero from collaborating with the side of the traitors. |
On the side of the Voodooists
If you decide to maintain relations with the Voodooists, the Agent will have to be neutralized by knocking him to the floor and rendering him unconscious. Immediately after this, V himself will pass out, and when he wakes up, he will find Johnny in front of him.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
You can return to the Voodooists again and report good news. If you later visit their hideout and come into conflict with Placid, a profitable opportunity will arise to rob the cache. Inside the encrypted locker room you can find 8,000 Eurodollars. | Placid will still turn out to be a traitor. After completing the mission, it turns out that he expected V to die along with other agents. |
All Network Watch employees will be dead, and therefore you will be able to leave the territory without any problems. | |
Depending on your further actions, you will also be able to gain access to the battle with Placid. AFTER defeating the enemy you will be rewarded with his cloak. |
Which option to choose
There is an opinion that from the point of view of subsequent gameplay and plot development, the best option would be to take the side of the Network Watch, saving the life of the agent. In addition, by choosing this outcome, you can free yourself from cooperation with traitors.
However, we recommend making your choice based on personal preference. There are no global differences in the plot; both options will ultimately lead to the same point. In both cases, you will be able to fight with Placid in a difficult and dynamic battle, as a result of which you will receive the same reward.

What if you knock out the voodooists?
I killed the agent without talking, because he tried to hack me during the fight with the woman. Killed all the voodooists after talking with the alt. I think this option is the best. What a scum watch, what voodooists
I would also omit the placid. It's a pity there is no such option.
