Key takeaways

  • Metro Memorial Park is in Corpo Plaza, City Center, rather than in Downtown or the wider City Center region.
  • The station provides both conventional fast travel and, after Update 2.1, access to the functional NCART metro system.
  • The station sits beside the circular Memorial Park, beneath and around the monumental corporate architecture of Corpo Plaza.
  • The most important free-roam reward here is Guts, Rebecca’s Iconic Power shotgun from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
  • Guts is found near three praying monks in the southern part of the park It is a world pickup, not a quest reward.
  • The area is principally a transit and sightseeing location It has no known vendor, apartment, fixer office, quest hub or boss arena inside the station itself.

About this guide

Scope note: “Metro: Memorial Park” is the name of the fast-travel and NCART station marker. It is not a separate district. The surrounding public space is Memorial Park, a circular park in Corpo Plaza, while the wider district also contains locations such as Arasaka Tower, the Corpo Plaza apartment and the Ring Road. Those neighbouring locations are mentioned only when they are directly useful for navigating to or from the station.

Overview

Metro: Memorial Park is one of Night City’s most recognisable transit points because it opens directly onto the centre of Corpo Plaza. The station is placed below the elevated roads and monumental structures surrounding the circular park. From the entrance, the player can move upwards through stairs and ramps into the park itself, or use the station as a convenient fast-travel point for the northern part of City Center.

The location’s identity comes from the contrast between public memorial space and corporate dominance. Memorial Park is designed as a landscaped, ceremonial ring around the corporate centre. Its broad walkways, glass surfaces, ornamental vegetation and holographic fish make it feel more like a carefully managed corporate monument than an ordinary city park. The nearby Arasaka and Militech architecture reinforces the setting’s political and economic hierarchy.

The station is therefore best understood as a gateway location rather than a conventional dungeon or quest area. It connects the player to:

A common source of confusion is the difference between the station marker and the district around it. Metro: Memorial Park is the transport node. Memorial Park is the physical park surrounding the central plaza. Corpo Plaza is the subdistrict containing both. Downtown is another City Center subdistrict and should not be folded into this location. The station directory places Metro: Memorial Park under Corpo Plaza, alongside fast-travel points such as Arasaka Tower, Corpo Plaza Apartment and Ring Road.

The following should not be treated as subdivisions of Metro: Memorial Park:

This boundary matters when counting locations, shops, gigs or collectibles. A guide that describes all of Corpo Plaza as part of “Metro: Memorial Park” will overstate the station’s contents.

Getting there and using the station

Unlocking the fast-travel point

The dataterm is discovered by approaching the station in the open world. Like other fast-travel points, it becomes available for selection after V has reached and activated the terminal.

The station also counts as a fast-travel dataterm for the game’s city-wide travel achievements. CD Projekt Red’s Hotfix 1.22 specifically corrected an issue in which the Metro: Memorial Park dataterm did not properly count towards the Frequent Flyer achievement.

Using it before Update 2.1

In the original base-game release, the metro station functioned chiefly as:

The station was not originally a fully rideable metro system.

Using it after Update 2.1

Update 2.1 added the functional NCART system. V can travel between the game’s metro stations either by selecting a destination for fast travel or by boarding the train and watching the journey. The update notes identify 19 stations across five lines.

If the station appears present but the train service is unavailable, check whether:

A later patch also fixed cases where the NCART Customer Support message failed to arrive even when the requirements had been met.

Using it before Update 2.1

  1. 01
    a fast-travel dataterm;
  2. 02
    a navigational landmark;
  3. 03
    an entrance to the Memorial Park surroundings.

Navigation inside Memorial Park

The station’s lower entrance can initially feel disconnected from the park because the player approaches through stairs and covered walkways rather than a broad central gate.

From the station to the park

The central fish display is the easiest orientation point. It is more useful than trying to navigate by compass alone because the circular park has several visually similar paths and ramps.

From the park to Arasaka Tower

Arasaka Tower forms the dominant landmark around the park. From the upper circular area, orient yourself towards the tower and follow the broad pedestrian routes around the central plaza. The exact approach depends on whether V is travelling along the lower road, the park’s upper walkways or the tower-side entrance.

Reaching the Guts pickup

The Guts pickup is not beside the metro terminal itself. It is farther into the park, near the praying monks.

Several guides describe the same route, using the fish display and the three monks as the principal landmarks.

From the station to the park

  1. 01
    Activate the Metro: Memorial Park dataterm if it is not already registered.
  2. 02
    Turn towards the stair access leading upwards from the station approach.
  3. 03
    Continue through the successive pedestrian levels.
  4. 04
    Follow the route towards the open circular area with the large holographic fish display.
  5. 05
    From the fish display, use the glass-lined paths to circle the park.

Reaching the Guts pickup: A practical route is

  1. 01
    Fast travel to Metro: Memorial Park.
  2. 02
    Turn around and take the stairs into the park.
  3. 03
    Continue upwards until reaching the area with the large holographic red and blue fish.
  4. 04
    Move beyond the first glass barrier and follow the path around the park.
  5. 05
    Look for three monks kneeling or sitting in prayer.
  6. 06
    Search the bushes and grass close to them, in the southern portion of the park.
  7. 07
    Pick up the weapon from the ground.

Landmarks and environmental features

Memorial Park

Memorial Park is the central landscaped public space of Corpo Plaza. Its circular design gives the area a ceremonial feel, while the surrounding roadways and skyscrapers make it clear that the park is enclosed by corporate power.

The park is not presented as a wilderness area or a conventional recreational green space. It functions as an architectural display and memorial zone. Visitors pass through it, pause at the central features and gather near the planted sections, but much of the design is controlled, polished and monumental.

Holographic fish

The large holographic fish are the most useful orientation landmark in the area. Their position marks the higher central section of the park and provides a visual reference when searching for Guts.

They also contribute to the park’s symbolic design. The moving holograms contrast with the static corporate towers and the restrained landscaping, giving the memorial a distinctly futuristic character.

Praying monks

The monks are the key landmark for the Guts pickup. They are not a faction hub, quest-giver group or combat encounter. Their presence is primarily environmental, although they also serve as a deliberate visual clue for the weapon’s placement.

Glass walkways and raised platforms

The park’s pedestrian routes use glass barriers, raised platforms and several changes in level. These features can make the location appear larger than its actual gameplay footprint. They are mainly navigational and scenic rather than separate interiors or mission spaces.

NCART station entrance

The station entrance sits lower than the main park, underneath the surrounding roads and plaza structures. It is recognisable by the NCART branding and the transit dataterm.

About this guide

Spoilers for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Guts: Rebecca’s Iconic shotgun

Guts is an Iconic Power shotgun associated with Rebecca, one of David Martinez’s crew in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. In Cyberpunk 2077, it can be collected from Memorial Park without starting a dedicated quest.

The weapon is placed near the three praying monks, in vegetation in the southern part of the park. It is not inside a chest, vendor inventory or mission room. The pickup is a fixed world placement rather than a random weapon drop. The location is described as Memorial Park in the weapon’s source information, and guide evidence consistently places it near the monks and bushes.

Acquisition checklist

The weapon’s association with Rebecca is a crossover reference to Edgerunners. It was added to the game as part of the Edgerunners-related content introduced in Patch 1.6.

If Guts is missing

Check the following before assuming the item has been permanently lost:

The supplied evidence confirms the intended placement, but does not establish a universal bug or a reliable respawn rule. It is therefore safer to describe missing Guts cases as possible save, placement or version issues rather than claim a confirmed missability mechanic.

If Guts is missing

  1. 01
    Search the bushes rather than only the path surface.
  2. 02
    Check around and behind the monks from several angles.
  3. 03
    Confirm that the search is taking place in Memorial Park, not beside the lower metro terminal.
  4. 04
    Reload a save made before entering the park.
  5. 05
    Verify that the game is not showing a previously collected weapon in the stash or inventory.
  6. 06
    Check whether a mod, save conversion or unusual update state has affected world pickups.

Residents, visitors and ordinary NPCs

Metro: Memorial Park is populated by ambient civilians rather than a named resident community. Typical groups include:

These NPCs are generally non-interactive background inhabitants. They do not form a permanent faction questline tied to the station.

Named characters

No permanent named resident, shopkeeper or fixer is established inside Metro: Memorial Park itself in the supplied evidence.

Characters associated with the wider Corpo Plaza area should not automatically be listed as residents of the station. For example, a character who appears in a mission near Arasaka Tower or another Corpo Plaza location belongs in that mission’s location entry unless the game explicitly places them at the station.

---

Factions and security

The park sits in one of Night City’s most heavily corporate districts. Corpo Plaza is associated with the city’s major corporations, especially Arasaka and Militech, and with a visible security presence. The surrounding plaza is therefore more controlled and conspicuous than many poorer districts.

The presence of security should not be confused with a special local law-enforcement mechanic. The area follows the normal open-world police and hostility rules. There is no verified evidence in the supplied sources for a unique Metro: Memorial Park wanted-state rule, special checkpoint system or exclusive security response.

---

Shops, services and facilities

Functional services

The main verified function of this location is transport:

No verified vendor, ripperdoc, weapon shop, food stall, apartment, fixer office or vehicle service is established inside the station or the park in the supplied evidence.

Decorative businesses and storefronts

The surrounding Corpo Plaza environment contains substantial commercial and corporate architecture, but decorative signage should not be treated as a functioning shop without direct confirmation. A storefront name alone does not prove that the player can enter, buy goods or receive a service there.

Missions and activities

Metro: Memorial Park is not known as the start point for a dedicated main job or side job. Its main activities are:

Gigs and activities listed for Corpo Plaza should be kept separate from the station unless their objective marker or playable space is actually inside Memorial Park. For example, external district guides list Corpo Plaza gigs such as Gig: Serial Suicide and Gig: Bring Me the Head of Gustavo Orta, but that does not make them Metro: Memorial Park activities.

---

Enemies and bosses

There is no verified permanent boss encounter, cyberpsycho event or named enemy group attached specifically to Metro: Memorial Park.

Do not treat a nearby Corpo Plaza combat encounter as a built-in station encounter unless it is confirmed to spawn within the park’s boundaries.

Collectibles and notable acquisitions

Fast-travel registration

No additional fixed collectible, tarot graffiti, relic terminal, shard cache or iconic item is confirmed by the evidence gathered for this guide. That is not proof that none exists in the broader Corpo Plaza district. It only means that the supplied research does not establish one inside the station and park boundary.

Lore and presentation

Memorial Park reflects Corpo Plaza’s central contradiction. It is a public memorial in a district built to display private power. The park offers greenery, quiet and ceremony, but it is surrounded by towers, elevated roads, surveillance and corporate branding.

The name also evokes the history of corporate conflict in the setting. Corpo Plaza is commonly presented as a monument to the economic and political power of the corporations, while the memorial design recalls the human cost of that power. The game does not turn the park into a long lore exposition, but its layout communicates the idea through scale and contrast.

The Edgerunners connection adds a second layer. Guts places a vivid, chaotic weapon associated with Rebecca in an orderly corporate memorial space. The contrast is intentional in effect even where the game does not provide a dedicated dialogue scene explaining it.

The wider metro presentation also reflects Night City’s class structure. NCART offers public movement through the city, but many stations are positioned beneath districts whose architecture and security make their social hierarchy unmistakable. Update 2.1’s introduction of rideable metro trains strengthened the sense that these stations are part of a connected city rather than isolated fast-travel menus.
