Key takeaways
- Longshore North is in Northside, Watson, not Dogtown or Pacifica.
- Its most important practical landmark is the Longshore North fast-travel dataterm.
- Rebecca and Pilar’s former apartment is nearby, but it is normally accessible only through the gig Scrolls Before Swine and a specific outcome involving Aaron.
- Hippocratic Oath begins at the Clean Cut clinic on Longshore North Street and involves rescuing Lucy Thackery from Maelstrom.
- Occupational Hazard takes place at a Mox warehouse in the Longshore North area.
- The surrounding streets are industrial and gang-controlled, but the game does not present Longshore North as a separately governed district. Its security depends on the individual mission site.
About this guide
Scope: Cyberpunk 2077, base game, including post-launch content that is part of the base game such as the Edgerunners update. Location type: Named fast-travel area and local street zone, not a separate district. District hierarchy: Night City → Watson → Northside → Longshore North. Spoiler warning: This guide discusses mission outcomes, the Scrolls Before Swine gig, the former home of Rebecca and Pilar, and missable access conditions.
Overview
Longshore North is a compact but unusually useful part of Northside, Watson. It is best understood as a named local area centred on the Longshore North fast-travel dataterm, rather than as a large formal neighbourhood with its own subdistrict hierarchy. Northside is the larger industrial area, while Longshore North is one of its named travel and activity zones.
The area is a mixture of decaying residential blocks, industrial buildings, gang-controlled interiors and roadside businesses. It is easy to pass through without noticing much beyond the fast-travel point, but several important activities are packed into the surrounding streets. These include Regina Jones’s gigs Hippocratic Oath, Occupational Hazard and Scrolls Before Swine, as well as the building used for Rebecca and Pilar’s apartment in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Longshore North should not be confused with Longshore Stacks, a separate location in Dogtown added by Phantom Liberty. Longshore Stacks is a cargo-container settlement in Pacifica and contains places such as The Moth, Tree of the Lost and Paradise Hotel. It is not part of Northside’s Longshore North.
What Longshore North is
Longshore North is a named location within Northside, itself a subdistrict of Watson. The game’s fast-travel network lists Longshore North among the Northside dataterms, alongside locations such as All Foods Plant, Martin Street, Megabuilding H10 and NID: East.
It is not presented as a large administrative zone with clearly marked internal neighbourhoods. The streets around it blend into the rest of Northside, so the most reliable boundary is practical rather than formal: treat Longshore North as the area surrounding the Longshore North Street road network and dataterm, extending to the nearby mission buildings that the game labels or guides as Longshore North.
What it is not
The similar names can cause confusion. Longshore North belongs to the base-game Watson map. Longshore Stacks belongs to the Phantom Liberty Dogtown map. The latter has its own shops, characters, missions and security situation.
---
Longshore North is part of Watson’s industrial northern belt. The streets are lined with a mix of:
Unlike Kabuki, Longshore North does not have a concentrated public market. Unlike the All Foods area, it is not dominated by one enormous factory complex. Its identity comes from the way ordinary residential streets sit directly beside gang-held work sites.
The area is useful for environmental storytelling. You can move from a public road into a locked-down warehouse or clinic and immediately see the difference between ordinary Northside life and the spaces controlled by gangs. Maelstrom appears in several mission locations, while the Mox are associated with the warehouse in Occupational Hazard.
There is no confirmed formal list of every street forming the boundary of Longshore North. Guides consistently place the important missions and the Rebecca-and-Pilar apartment in the Longshore North or immediately adjacent area, but the game itself does not supply a district border comparable to Watson’s main map divisions. This guide therefore treats mission buildings and the streets around the dataterm as included, while keeping nearby Northside locations separate.

Fast travel
The Longshore North fast-travel dataterm is the simplest way to reach the area. It appears in Northside’s fast-travel list and is available once V has physically passed through or approached the location.
Suggested walking route
The area is compact enough to walk, although some mission locations may be easier to reach by car when approaching from outside Watson.
---
The following names are the verified named locations and buildings most relevant to Longshore North and its immediate mission footprint.
For a first exploration, use this order
- 01Travel to Longshore North.
- 02Inspect the apartment block close to the dataterm, but do not assume its upper-floor flat is freely accessible.
- 03Follow the nearby streets towards the Clean Cut clinic.
- 04Continue through the industrial streets and look for mission-marked compounds rather than forcing locked doors.
- 05Return to the apartment after starting or completing Scrolls Before Swine, depending on the outcome you want.
- 06Use Longshore North as a base for travelling north towards All Foods Plant or south and east into the rest of Northside.
Longshore North
The dataterm is a functional transport point, not a shop or service hub. It does not itself provide vendors, healing or crafting services.
Longshore North
Clean Cut
Clean Cut is the clinic used as the starting location for Hippocratic Oath. Regina Jones contacts V when the player reaches the building, explaining that Lucy Thackery, a ripperdoc, is being held by Maelstrom.
Do not assume that every clinic-looking building in Northside is a usable ripperdoc. Clean Cut’s confirmed gameplay function in this area is tied to the gig.
Mox warehouse
The Mox warehouse is the mission site for Occupational Hazard. It is not a general-purpose Mox shop or freely usable community centre. The site is connected to a rescue operation involving a missing person and is occupied by hostile forces during the gig.
Aaron’s apartment
Aaron’s apartment is in a small apartment building just north of the Longshore North fast-travel point. It is used during Scrolls Before Swine. The apartment is not normally accessible as a regular open residence before the gig reaches its relevant stage.
Rebecca and Pilar’s former apartment
The apartment associated with Rebecca and Pilar from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is in a building near the Longshore North dataterm. In the game’s present-day setting, the flat is occupied by Aaron McCarlson. Its appearance is a deliberate tie-in to the anime rather than a separate residential property that V can purchase.
The building is a three-storey structure with a billboard above it. The apartment is on the second floor, behind a door with an access panel.
---
Aaron McCarlson
Aaron McCarlson is the current occupant of the apartment associated with Rebecca and Pilar. He is a police officer involved in the events of Scrolls Before Swine.
Aaron is not a general Longshore North resident in the same sense as a freely encountered named civilian. He is primarily a gig character, and the player’s interaction with him determines whether the apartment remains accessible afterwards.
Lucy Thackery
Lucy Thackery is a ripperdoc held by Maelstrom during Hippocratic Oath. She is associated with the Clean Cut clinic and is the person V is sent to rescue.
Regina Jones
Regina is the fixer responsible for the main gigs connected with this area:
These jobs are part of her Watson gig chain rather than a unique Longshore North storyline.
Rebecca and Pilar
Rebecca and Pilar do not live in the area during the events of Cyberpunk 2077. Their former home is represented by the apartment used by Aaron. The connection comes from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which uses the building as Rebecca and Pilar’s residence.
Their former apartment is an environmental reference and an optional exploration reward. It is not a current-character residence in the game’s main story.
---
Maelstrom
Maelstrom is the dominant hostile faction in the Longshore North mission spaces. Its members appear at:
The gang’s presence is mission-specific in many cases. A building being visually industrial or covered in gang graffiti does not by itself guarantee a permanent hostile encounter.
The Mox
The Mox are associated with the warehouse used in Occupational Hazard. This does not mean Longshore North is a Mox-controlled district. Their presence is tied to the mission and its setting rather than a broad territorial claim over all nearby streets.
NCPD
The NCPD has a visible presence in Watson, but Longshore North does not function as a dedicated police checkpoint or patrol zone. Police response depends on the player’s wanted status and the individual location. The area’s mission compounds may also have their own gang security, cameras and turrets.
---
Longshore North has fewer confirmed functional services than the larger Northside hubs.
Confirmed functional services
The available evidence does not establish a permanent weapon vendor, ripperdoc, clothing shop, food vendor or apartment purchase in Longshore North itself. Nearby Northside contains shops and vendors, but they should not automatically be attributed to this location.
Confirmed functional services
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Clean Cut | mission-related clinic location |
| Longshore North fast-travel dataterm | transport only |
Decorative businesses and storefronts
Longshore North contains background storefronts and commercial signage that contribute to its residential-industrial appearance. These should be treated as scenery unless the game provides a functional vendor interaction or a mission explicitly uses the building.
No reliable source reviewed for this guide provides a complete, authoritative catalogue of every decorative storefront in the area. They are therefore not presented as a supposedly exhaustive business directory.

Gig: Hippocratic Oath
Type: SOS: Merc Needed gig Fixer: Regina Jones Location: Clean Cut clinic, Longshore North Street Primary faction: Maelstrom Main objective: Rescue Lucy Thackery
How to begin
Hippocratic Oath is a compact rescue mission. Stealth, hacking and direct combat are all viable, but the building’s gang security makes an unprepared frontal approach more dangerous.
Practical advice
The exact rewards can vary with the game’s level and loot scaling. The fixed value of the mission is Regina’s gig completion and the rescue outcome, not a unique Longshore North collectible.
How to begin
- 01Progress far enough in Watson for Regina’s relevant gigs to become available.
- 02Travel to the Clean Cut building on Longshore North Street.
- 03Wait for Regina’s call and accept the job.
- 04Enter the building and locate Lucy.
- 05Deal with the Maelstrom guards.
- 06Escort or otherwise secure Lucy according to the mission’s objectives.
Gig: Occupational Hazard
Type: SOS: Merc Needed gig Fixer: Regina Jones Location: Mox warehouse on Longshore North Objective: Investigate the warehouse and rescue the missing person
The mission takes place in a warehouse identified by guides as the Mox warehouse on Longshore North.
Recommended approach
This is a mission site rather than a permanent public facility. Once the gig is completed, the warehouse should not be treated as a normal Mox service location.
Recommended approach
- 01Enter the marked warehouse area.
- 02Scan the exterior for cameras, enemies and access points.
- 03Search the interior methodically rather than rushing directly to the objective marker.
- 04Use terminals and environmental clues when available.
- 05Locate the captive or missing person.
- 06Clear the extraction route before attempting to leave.
Gig: Scrolls Before Swine
Type: Thievery and investigation gig Fixer: Regina Jones Main area: Northside, around Longshore North Important characters: Aaron McCarlson and Maelstrom
This is the most significant activity for players interested in Longshore North’s named locations. V is sent to retrieve surveillance material from a Maelstrom-controlled warehouse and then deliver it to Aaron’s apartment, which lies just north of the Longshore North fast-travel point.
Apartment access and missability
The former Rebecca-and-Pilar apartment is the important missable element here. The mission can be completed without preserving later access to the apartment.
Sources and player reports differ on some interaction details, but they agree on the central practical warning: downloading the file without watching it first can remove the optional dialogue path, and simply leaving Aaron alive may prevent later exploration of the apartment.
What is inside
The apartment is mainly an environmental and Edgerunners reference. It contains domestic details linking it to Rebecca and Pilar’s former home, as well as ordinary interactable objects and computer content associated with Aaron.
Do not expect a full quest hub or a large fixed reward cache. Its value is the location itself, the anime connection and the possibility of exploring a normally closed interior.
---
Walkthrough
- 01Reach the Maelstrom warehouse.
- 02Enter through the available route, using stealth or combat.
- 03Reach the computer containing the surveillance material.
- 04Before downloading the file, open the file list and watch the video if you want the optional dialogue with Johnny and the later apartment interaction.
- 05Download the requested data.
- 06Travel to Aaron’s apartment north of the Longshore North dataterm.
- 07Use the intercom or call button.
- 08Speak with Aaron.
- 09If you want continued access to the apartment, confront him about the footage when the dialogue option appears.
- 10Fight or incapacitate Aaron rather than simply handing over the data and leaving.
Finding the building
The building is directly beside or very close to the fast-travel point, making Longshore North the most useful travel destination for the reference.
Finding the building: steps
- 01Fast-travel to Longshore North.
- 02Look for the nearby three-storey apartment block with a billboard above it.
- 03Enter the building.
- 04Go to the second floor.
- 05Find the door with the access panel.
Access requirements
Normal free exploration is not guaranteed. The legitimate route is connected to Scrolls Before Swine.
If you complete the conversation peacefully and leave, the game may not leave the apartment open for later exploration. This is one of the area’s clearest missable-state warnings.
---
Longshore North is not known for a large named collectible set comparable to a major story location. The area contains ordinary loot, mission containers, computers and randomised equipment, but these should not be confused with fixed unique rewards.
To maximise your chance of preserving access
- 01Unlock and begin Scrolls Before Swine.
- 02At the warehouse computer, inspect and watch the surveillance video before taking the file.
- 03Speak to Aaron at his apartment.
- 04Use the dialogue option that reveals V knows what happened.
- 05Defeat or incapacitate Aaron.
- 06Return to the apartment after the mission.
Randomised or level-scaled loot
Weapons, armour, crafting components and other ordinary containers in gang-held buildings can be affected by the game’s level and loot systems. Their precise contents should not be presented as permanent named rewards unless verified for a particular version and location.
Unique weapons
The research consulted for this guide does not establish a confirmed unique weapon permanently located in Longshore North itself. References to weapons associated with Edgerunners should be checked separately, as the anime reference and the game’s actual loot placement are not automatically the same thing.
---
Longshore North has no special district-wide security rule. Security is local to the building or mission.
Public streets are generally navigable without combat unless V has an active wanted level or starts trouble. Mission compounds can remain hostile while the surrounding road is neutral.
The NCPD and Maelstrom should not be treated as equivalent authorities. Watson is under Night City’s normal law-enforcement framework, while Maelstrom controls individual criminal sites through force. The game does not designate Longshore North as a lawless enclave.
---
Longshore North’s significance comes from contrast rather than a single large lore reveal. It shows how Watson’s residents live beside abandoned industry and gang-controlled workspaces. The apartment reference adds another layer: the building’s ordinary post-*Edgerunners* state suggests that Night City continues moving after the events of the anime.
Rebecca and Pilar’s former apartment is particularly effective because it is not preserved as a museum. It has been reoccupied, and the game uses the space as part of an unrelated gig. This makes the reference feel like a location within a living city rather than a sealed cameo room.
The area also illustrates Regina’s work in Watson. Her gigs repeatedly send V into places that look like ordinary local businesses from the outside but conceal exploitation, violence or corruption within.

Use this checklist if you want to cover the area without missing its important content:
---
Is Longshore North part of Dogtown?
No. Longshore North is in Northside, Watson. Longshore Stacks is in Dogtown, Pacifica, and is a separate location introduced in Phantom Liberty.
Where is Rebecca’s apartment?
It is in a small apartment building near the Longshore North fast-travel dataterm in Northside. In the game, the apartment is occupied by Aaron McCarlson and is accessed through the events of Scrolls Before Swine.
Can I enter the apartment whenever I want?
Not reliably. Access depends on the outcome and dialogue path of Scrolls Before Swine. Watch the surveillance video before downloading it, confront Aaron about it and defeat or incapacitate him if you want the best chance of preserving access.
Is there a ripperdoc in Longshore North?
The Clean Cut clinic is a confirmed mission location for Hippocratic Oath, but the evidence reviewed here does not establish it as a permanent player-service ripperdoc. Do not infer a shop service merely from the clinic’s name.
Which fixer gives the Longshore North gigs?
The main confirmed fixer is Regina Jones, who provides Hippocratic Oath, Occupational Hazard and Scrolls Before Swine.
Is there a unique weapon in the area?
No fixed unique weapon has been confirmed by the sources reviewed for this guide. Ordinary weapons and other loot can appear in mission locations, but their contents may be level-scaled or mission-specific.
