Key takeaways

Use the following points to orient yourself before starting the mission.

  • A Dogtown assignment Spy in the Jungle takes place during Phantom Liberty and is handled as a side mission rather than a main-story objective. Its activities remain concentrated in Dogtown.
  • Start with the agents Ana and Steven provide the immediate context for the job. Listen to their briefing before leaving for the investigation site, because the mission’s purpose is established through this meeting.
  • Search before forcing the encounter Organitopia is both an investigation area and a combat space. Explore the route toward the restricted area instead of assuming the first objective marker reveals every useful clue.
  • Expect a combat escalation The mission eventually brings V into direct conflict with Mark Bana. Prepare a build and recovery items before entering the deeper part of the location.

Spy in the Jungle

Spy in the Jungle is a Dogtown side mission connected to Mr. Hands and the Phantom Liberty expansion. V is asked to assist two Brazilian intelligence agents whose investigation has led them to Mark Bana, a former operative whose actions and condition make the assignment more dangerous than a simple retrieval job.

The mission begins with V meeting the Brazilian agents Ana and Steven in Dogtown. Their request centers on Mark Bana and information connected to him, placing the job at the intersection of espionage, corporate-style intelligence work, and the unstable conditions inside Dogtown. The opening conversation establishes the agents’ objective before V moves to the search site.

The investigation leads V to Organitopia, where the mission changes from a meeting-and-inquiry assignment into an armed infiltration. The area must be searched for evidence and access to the restricted section where Mark Bana is located. Enemies and environmental navigation can interrupt the investigation, so rushing directly toward the objective can make the encounter harder than necessary.

The final portion focuses on Mark Bana and the information recovered from the operation. The mission’s conclusion is driven by the interaction between V, Ana, and Steven rather than by a separate long quest chain. Because the available source material is model-derived and unverified, this page avoids claiming precise reward amounts, exact combat statistics, or dialogue outcomes that require editorial confirmation.

WalkthroughSpoilers

  1. 01

    Meet Ana and Steven

    Meet the Brazilian agents

    Go to the meeting point in Dogtown and speak with Ana and Steven. Let the briefing finish before leaving, since the pair explain the connection to Mark Bana and establish what V is expected to investigate.

    Location: Dogtown

    TipUse the conversation to confirm the active objective before travelling; the mission’s next location is easier to follow once the briefing is complete.

    Checkpoint
  2. 02

    Reach Organitopia

    Travel to Organitopia

    Follow the mission marker from the agents’ meeting area to Organitopia. Approach the site with weapons and healing prepared, because the investigation can transition into combat once V moves deeper into the location.

    Location: Route to Organitopia

    Watch outDo not treat the site as a safe dialogue area. Hostile activity can make an improvised approach costly if V enters without a combat plan.

  3. 03

    Investigate Organitopia

    Enter and investigate the site

    Move through Organitopia and inspect the route toward the mission objective rather than running straight past every room. The investigation is designed to lead V toward the restricted section, and nearby spaces may contain the clues or access needed to continue.

    Location: Organitopia

    TipKeep the objective marker in view but check side rooms and alternate paths before advancing. This reduces the chance of overlooking the route that opens the next part of the investigation.

  4. 04

    Reach the area connected to Mark Bana

    Push toward the restricted area

    Continue through the interior until the mission directs V into the more restricted portion of Organitopia. Clear or bypass threats as appropriate for your build, and use cover when the space limits movement or exposes V to several attackers at once.

    Location: Restricted section of Organitopia

    Watch outA forced advance can leave V surrounded. Take a moment to identify exits and cover before activating the encounter farther inside.

  5. 05

    Find Mark Bana

    Locate Mark Bana

    Search the deeper section of Organitopia until Mark Bana is found. The discovery changes the mission from an intelligence search into a direct confrontation, so finish any preparation before crossing the point that starts the hostile sequence.

    Location: Organitopia

    Watch outThis is the last practical opportunity to prepare without pressure. Reload, heal, and check ammunition or cyberware before committing to the encounter.

  6. 06

    Deal with the threat and secure the information

    Survive the confrontation

    Fight through the encounter involving Mark Bana and the threats around him. Keep moving between cover and open lanes instead of allowing enemies to pin V against a wall, then collect the mission-related information once the area is secure.

    Location: Organitopia

    TipPrioritize enemies that can close distance or interrupt healing, then return to the objective area after the room is safe. Searching immediately during the fight can expose V to attacks from outside the main arena.

  7. 07

    Complete Spy in the Jungle

    Finish the assignment

    After securing the relevant information, follow the active objective back to the mission contacts and complete the final conversation. The mission is not finished merely because the combat encounter ends; wait for the objective to update and resolve the handoff.

    Location: Dogtown

    Checkpoint

Mission mechanics

Spy in the Jungle combines an investigation with a combat encounter. The early section is driven by conversations with Ana and Steven, while the Organitopia section asks V to navigate a hostile interior and reach the restricted area. The mission therefore rewards players who alternate between reading the objective, checking their surroundings, and preparing for a fight.

Organitopia’s layout makes positioning more important than simply following the marker. Use cover, preserve a retreat route, and avoid entering the next space while low on healing resources. If the encounter becomes crowded, repositioning is safer than standing in the objective area and trading damage with every hostile at once.

The mission also uses a handoff structure: information recovered in the investigation must be carried through to the final contact sequence. Make sure the objective changes after the confrontation and speak with the relevant characters before leaving Dogtown, or the journal may continue to show Spy in the Jungle as active.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The mission gives Ana and Steven a clear role in the setup instead of dropping V directly into the combat area.
  • Its investigation-to-confrontation structure creates a noticeable change of pace within a compact Dogtown assignment.
  • Organitopia provides an enclosed environment where cover, route selection, and preparation matter.

Weaknesses

  • The search portion can feel unclear if V follows the marker without checking the surrounding rooms and access routes.
  • The transition into the Mark Bana encounter can catch an unprepared player who has spent healing items during the approach.
  • The source pack does not verify a detailed reward table or a complete list of optional objectives.

Best uses

  • Approach the mission as a focused side story for Dogtown rather than a source of large-scale exploration.
  • Use it to test a close-quarters build or a stealth-to-combat approach in a controlled interior space.
  • Complete the briefing and investigation in one session so the final handoff remains easy to track.

PhasesSpoilers

  1. 1

    Approach and investigation

    Starts: Entering Organitopia after the meeting with Ana and Steven

    Not applicable

    V searches the site and advances toward the restricted section. The main danger is being surprised by hostile activity while navigating the interior.

    • Close-range pressureTell Hostiles attempt to reduce the distance while V is moving between rooms.Answer Use cover and keep an escape route open rather than fighting in a doorway.
    • CrossfireTell Enemies can make an otherwise simple passage dangerous when V enters without checking surrounding angles.Answer Clear visible threats methodically and avoid standing in the center of an open room.
    • Reload and heal before pushing into the deeper area.
    • Check side routes and nearby rooms when the objective appears to stall.
  2. 2

    Mark Bana confrontation

    Starts: Reaching Mark Bana in the restricted part of Organitopia

    Boss-style encounter; exact values are not verified

    The investigation culminates in a direct hostile encounter involving Mark Bana. The safest approach is to control distance, use cover, and avoid spending all recovery resources before the room is secure.

    • Aggressive pursuitTell Mark Bana presses the fight rather than allowing V to remain comfortably at range.Answer Break line of sight, reposition, and attack during the opening created when he commits to movement.
    • Environmental pressureTell The enclosed location limits the room available for retreat if V becomes surrounded.Answer Move toward a clearer lane before healing or reloading, and do not let the entrance become your only escape route.
    • Use the room’s cover instead of standing exposed near the objective marker.
    • Collect the mission information only after the immediate threat has been neutralized.

  • Health
    Exact health value not verified

Prepare before entering the encounter, then use cover and maintain enough space to react to Mark Bana’s pressure. If the room becomes crowded, retreat to a safer lane and eliminate the surrounding threat before returning your attention to the objective. The available source material does not verify a specific elemental weakness, weapon requirement, or fixed boss phase pattern.

Choices and consequencesSpoilers

  • Choose dialogue responses during the agents’ briefing

    The conversation establishes V’s understanding of the assignment, but the source material does not verify a major branching outcome from these lines.

  • Decide how to approach the Organitopia encounter

    Stealth, ranged combat, hacking, or direct aggression can change how the fight unfolds, but the mission’s core investigation remains the same.

  • Handle the final conversation after recovering the information

    The available source material does not verify the precise dialogue branches, payment changes, or later mission consequences associated with the conclusion.

Checklist

  • Speak with Ana and Steven before leaving their meeting pointThe briefing starts the investigation and identifies Mark Bana as the mission’s subject.
  • Save before entering OrganitopiaA manual save makes it easier to retry the interior encounter with a different approach.
  • Bring healing and a reliable close-quarters optionThe location can compress the distance between V and hostile enemies.Optional
  • Search the accessible areas while advancingDo not assume the objective marker alone identifies every route through the site.
  • Prepare before reaching Mark BanaThe investigation leads into the mission’s principal confrontation.
  • Secure the mission information after the fightWait until the immediate threat is handled before searching the objective area.
  • Complete the final contact sequenceLeave only after the journal confirms that Spy in the Jungle is complete.

Failure conditionsSpoilers

  • V is killed during the Organitopia encounterReload the latest checkpoint or manual save and approach the interior with more cover, healing, and room to retreat.
  • V advances into the confrontation without preparationThe transition from investigation to combat can leave resources depleted. Prepare before entering the deeper restricted area.
  • V leaves before completing the final handoffThe mission requires more than surviving the central encounter. Follow the updated objective and finish the concluding conversation.

On failure

Exact automatic checkpoint placement is not verified. A manual save before entering Organitopia is the safest way to preserve progress.

RewardsSpoilers

  • Mission completion reward
    Spy in the Jungle provides a completion reward through its Dogtown mission structure, but the source material does not verify the exact amount or item list.
  • Loot from Organitopia
    The location and defeated enemies may provide ordinary loot, but no specific guaranteed drop has been verified.
  • Mission information
