Cyberpunk 2077's DLC greatly expands on the base game's original map, including a variety of new hidden locations. Phantom Liberty adds a whole section to Cyberpunk 2077's map: the lawless district of Dogtown. Once a planned, private resort getaway for Night City's well-to-do luminaries, Dogtown soon fell under the control of Kurt Hansen and his iron-fisted Barghest paramilitary gang. By the time V arrives, high rises and luxury shops are in total disarray, and anyone who isn't part of Barghest's rank and file is forced to live in fear. Their hidden stashes and abandoned apartments make up some of the DLC's most fascinating areas.

However, the DLC does more than just tack on a new area to the pre-existing map. Phantom Liberty was released in conjunction with a free update to Cyberpunk 2077, bringing a host of new features, including the long-awaited vehicular combat, to the base game. Cyberpunk's base map also saw a number of tweaks in the free update, with new locations added even beyond Dogtown's borders. These are the coolest hidden locations worth searching for, all added to Cyberpunk 2077 as part of the update or the DLC.

10 I'm In Love With My Car

Secreted away inside a Watson warehouse is a hot rod to make Night City's biggest gearheads salivate. The Quadra Type 66 Hoon is part of the hidden side quest "I'm in Love with My Car," which can only be started by entering the makeshift garage. Scanning the area reveals a chest hidden under some rubble; inside are the keys to this unique car. Its mounted machine guns make it a great way to experience the update's new vehicular combat. The Quadra Type 66 Hoon is Cyberpunk's tribute to American rally driver Ken Block, who passed away on January 2, 2023.

9 Trauma Team HQ

Phantom Liberty also adds a new arcade-style mini-game: Trauma Team. Players who set a high score in the Contra-esque side-scrolling shooter receive a text inviting them to join the real-life Trauma Team. This unlocks a secret back room of the Night City Medical Center. It's little more than a glorified treasure chest, but players do get a unique Trauma Team uniform and a working model Trauma Team AV, which can be placed in V's apartment.

8 Badlands Church

A small, freestanding church in the Badlands outside Night City harbors a gargantuan secret. Players can enter this nondescript structure in order to find a decidedly unusual bit of decoration for a place of worship: an Arasaka Tower 3D arcade cabinet. They'll have to wait until 4 AM in-game to turn on a nearby laptop and read all its files, after which they can boot up Arasaka Tower. They shouldn't actually play it, though, as they then have to rush to a lone mattress nearby, arriving by 5 AM. V will pass out, and wake up next to Cyberpunk 2077's Demiurge monster truck.

7 Space Force One Wreckage

The hacking and crash-landing of President Rosalind Myers' flagship spaceplane is a major part of what kicks off the events of Phantom Liberty, but players aren't actually required to visit the wreckage at any point during the campaign. However, V can actually find a smattering of debris in the Badlands outside Dogtown, including the Lifepod Myers landed in and escaped from prior to the events of the DLC. Johnny Silverhand comments on the wreckage, confirming that it came from Space Force One.

6 Reporter's Car

Also hidden in the Badlands outside Dogtown is a micro-quest involving a missing reporter. While wandering around the desert, V may be suddenly attacked by a hostile drone near a burnt-out car. After defeating the drone, they can explore the car to find a body. Conversational shards looted from the body reveal that it belonged to a reporter, who ventured out into the Badlands in search of a hot scoop. They inadvertently triggered a set of security drones, and remained there until found by V. There's not much more to this single-step gig than a bit of environmental storytelling.

5 Dogtown Pool

What looks like an abandoned, mucky kiddie pool actually goes much, much deeper. Located near the Golden Pacific fast travel point is a small, circular pool of dark, almost opaque water. Players might want to avoid it on instinct, but V is actually far better off taking the plunge. The pool goes down much farther than it looks, and at the bottom, V can find an Iconic weapon absolutely free. It's the Kyubi x-MOD2, and, apart from some of the new unique guns, it's one of the most powerful weapons in the Phantom Liberty DLC.

4 Pulp Fiction Easter Egg

An apartment building in Night City's Santo Domingo district hides an Easter egg referencing the film Pulp Fiction. Although otherwise unremarkable, this mostly-abandoned building can be explored to find a hidden entrance that leads to a balcony. Several dead bodies are scattered around, and one of them carries a text conversation that explains exactly what went down. In touch with his boss Marsellus Wayans, he describes how they attempted to convince a boxer to throw his fight. However, the boxer instead killed his opponent, leaving Wayans out some eddies and hungry for revenge. However, judging by the carnage of the scene V happens upon, the boxer got to Wayans first.

3 Ironclad's Room

Phantom Liberty lets V help a run-down robot named Ironclad, but in order to reprogram them, V has to find them first. Ironclad is located in a small, secluded room within the EBM Petrochem Stadium, the site of Dogtown's premier shopping district. Getting there requires a little bit of parkour; V can follow the sights and sounds of electripc sparks to run up a ramp and jump into Ironclad's room. From there, it's as simple as jacking into a nearby computer and finding a series of spare parts throughout the market to repair the robot.

2 Mr. Blue Eyes' Office

The character known only as Mr. Blue Eyes has provoked tons of speculation since his first appearance in the base game of Cyberpunk 2077. As it turns out, he appears during Phantom Liberty too, most prominently in one of the Stadium's glass-walled offices during the penultimate mission "Firestarter." V has to side with Songbird here in order to see him, and can use their navigational skills and intuition to find their way into Mr. Blue Eyes' office. But by the time they get there, he's gone and it's mostly empty. Songbird later mentions offhand that a blue-eyed man helped pay for her trip to the moon.

1 Militech Facility

If they side with Reed in "Firestarter" instead, though, V unlocks a totally different secret area: the Militech building that then becomes the DLC's final dungeon. After chasing Songbird through Dogtown, V follows her into a sprawling, underground testing facility, where they must dodge killer robots as they follow Songbird's trail. It's an incredible, if challenging area, but only those who side with Reed will ever see it.

Those are some of the most interesting secret areas in the 2.0 update and DLC found so far. However, there are almost certainly more that have yet to be found. Cyberpunk 2077's sprawling, varied map ensures that it's full of secrets just waiting to be uncovered, most of which contain worthwhile rewards.
