Bullets

Key takeaways

Keep these points in mind before entering Jinguji.

• Visit the store Bullets is tied to entering Jinguji in City Center rather than to a long overland route or a chain of combat arenas.
• Expect an indoor fight The cyberpsycho encounter happens in a retail interior, so close-range awareness and careful positioning matter more than long-distance sniping.
• Watch the response Melissa Rory and MaxTac are central to the mission's presentation. Do not immediately leave after the shooting stops; remain for the follow-up interaction.
• Treat the dialogue as part of the mission The mission's context comes from the conversations around the attack, not only from the combat objective.

Bullets overview

Bullets is a compact Cyberpunk 2077 side mission centered on a violent cyberpsycho incident at Jinguji, an upscale clothing store in Night City.

The mission begins when V visits Jinguji, a high-end fashion store in the City Center area. What starts as an ordinary shopping visit is interrupted by a cyberpsycho attack, turning the store into a dangerous close-quarters encounter. The confined interior gives the mission a very different feel from open-area cyberpsycho sightings, because sightlines are short and civilians, shop fixtures, and the entrance all shape how the confrontation unfolds.

The incident also introduces Melissa Rory, a MaxTac officer who arrives during the crisis. Her presence provides context for how Night City's authorities respond to cyberpsychosis and links this otherwise self-contained store encounter to the wider reputation of MaxTac. V is not simply clearing a marked combat zone; the mission is framed as an emergency response that develops through dialogue, observation, and a sudden fight.

Bullets is best approached as a short narrative side job rather than a loot-focused expedition. The main points of interest are the Jinguji interior, the cyberpsycho confrontation, and the conversation that follows the intervention. The mission does not require a large sequence of objectives, but the opening dialogue and the post-incident exchange are easy to overlook if the player treats Jinguji as only a shopping location.

Walkthrough

1. 01

   Visit Jinguji

   Travel to Jinguji

   Go to Jinguji in City Center and enter the clothing store rather than waiting outside. The mission is built around the store visit, so use the interior entrance and allow the scripted encounter to begin.

   Location: Jinguji, City Center

   TipIf the mission does not begin immediately, leave and return after progressing the game, as its availability is tied to the store encounter.

2. 02

   Investigate the incident

   Let the store scene develop

   Move through the opening interaction and pay attention to the disturbance inside the shop. Do not rush out as soon as the situation becomes tense; the arrival of the emergency response is part of the mission sequence.

   Location: Jinguji interior

   Watch outLeaving the area or interrupting the scene may prevent the encounter from progressing as intended.

3. 03

   Survive the cyberpsycho incident

   Prepare for the cyberpsycho

   Once the attack starts, create enough space to avoid being trapped between the storefront and the shop fixtures. Use the interior's available cover and keep the hostile target in view, because the encounter is fought at close quarters.

   Location: Jinguji interior

   TipA weapon or cyberware setup that can interrupt, stagger, or control a nearby enemy is useful in the confined store.

4. 04

   Bring the attack under control

   Fight carefully inside the store

   Focus on the active threat and avoid wasting time repositioning into blind corners. The retail layout limits escape routes, so retreat toward a visible opening instead of backing into shelves or display areas.

   Location: Jinguji interior

5. 05

   Witness the response

   Observe the MaxTac intervention

   Melissa Rory arrives as part of the response, making this more than a routine enemy-clearance activity. Watch the exchange and avoid treating the arrival as permission to immediately fast-travel away.

   Location: Jinguji

   TipThe mission's important character context is delivered around the intervention, so keep the area loaded until the scene has settled.

6. 06

   Speak with Melissa Rory

   Speak with Melissa Rory

   After the immediate threat is resolved, approach Melissa Rory and complete the available conversation. This exchange supplies the mission's closing context and is the final interaction required by the known mission flow.

   Location: Jinguji

   Watch outThe mission may not register as complete if V leaves before the concluding dialogue has finished.

Mission mechanics

Bullets uses a scripted public-space incident rather than a conventional fixer briefing. Jinguji functions as both the mission trigger and the combat arena, so the transition from shopping to danger happens inside a place that normally serves as a commercial location. That change of context is the mission's principal mechanical idea.

The fight rewards awareness of interior geometry. Store displays and walls can break line of sight, but they can also limit retreat options. Keep an exit or open section of the shop behind you when possible, and avoid committing to a long animation while the cyberpsycho is close enough to punish it.

The mission also asks the player to separate combat completion from narrative completion. The arrival and conversation involving Melissa Rory are not interchangeable with defeating the hostile target. Continue following the scene until the dialogue and objective update confirm that Bullets is finished.

There is no confirmed requirement to use a particular weapon, build, or hacking approach. The encounter can therefore be handled according to V's established playstyle, provided the player accounts for the restricted space and keeps the threat from forcing them into a corner.
