We Gotta Live Together

Key takeaways

The important points to know before starting this ending-path mission are its prerequisite, its dialogue-heavy structure, and its direct connection to the next Aldecaldos operation.

This route is chosen earlier We Gotta Live Together becomes available only after V selects Panam and the Aldecaldos for help in Nocturne OP55N1. The mission itself does not offer a fresh route-selection prompt at the beginning.
The camp is the main area Most of the opening mission takes place around the Aldecaldos camp. Explore the camp and speak with the available clan members before advancing, because the early conversations provide much of the mission's character context.
Expect preparation rather than a boss fight The mission concentrates on dialogue, introductions, and preparations for the assault. It does not function like a conventional combat-heavy gig with a dedicated boss encounter.
The story continues immediately The mission leads into Belly of the Beast, so finish any desired open-world preparation before committing to this ending route. Later progress is part of the ending sequence rather than ordinary free-roam activity.

We Gotta Live Together is the opening mission of Cyberpunk 2077's ending route, bringing V to Panam Palmer's nomad family for the final operation against Arasaka.

We Gotta Live Together begins after V asks Panam Palmer and the Aldecaldos for help during Nocturne OP55N1. Rather than sending V directly into the assault, the mission establishes the clan's camp as a temporary base of operations and gives V time to meet the people who will take part in the plan. The mission is consequently driven more by conversation, introductions, and preparation than by conventional combat.

The camp sequence lets V speak with several Aldecaldos, including Saul Bright, Mitch Anderson, Carol Emeka, Cassidy Righter, and Panam Palmer. These conversations provide context for the clan's situation and make V's involvement more personal, while also allowing the player to decide how V presents their relationship with the group. Some optional exchanges are easy to overlook if the player moves straight toward the next objective.

The mission eventually shifts from camp preparation to the Aldecaldos' departure for the operation that continues in Belly of the Beast. It is a story-heavy transition mission, so players should not expect a conventional loot route or a standalone boss fight. Its main consequence is narrative: it confirms the route in which V relies on the Aldecaldos and proceeds toward the Nomad ending sequence.

Because this mission is tied to a major ending path, it should be treated as spoiler-sensitive even though much of its early content consists of dialogue. The outcome of the route, V's ultimate fate, and the clan's long-term consequences are resolved in later missions rather than here. The guide below therefore focuses on the preparation sequence and keeps the final ending revelations contained in marked sections.

Walkthrough

01
Select Panam Palmer and the Aldecaldos as V's allies.
Choose the Aldecaldos route in Nocturne OP55N1
At the ending decision in Nocturne OP55N1, choose the dialogue path that asks Panam Palmer and the Aldecaldos for help. This decision is made before We Gotta Live Together starts, and selecting another plan sends V into a different ending sequence.
Location: Nocturne OP55N1
Watch outThis is the route-defining choice; it cannot be treated as a minor dialogue branch.
02
Reach the Aldecaldos camp.
Travel to the Aldecaldos camp
After the route is selected, follow the objective to the Aldecaldos camp. The camp becomes the mission's main hub, so take a moment to orient yourself instead of immediately pursuing the next marked conversation.
Location: Aldecaldos camp
Checkpoint
03
Familiarize yourself with the camp.
Explore the camp before advancing
Walk through the camp and look for the clan members who are available to speak with. The game presents the area as a preparation space, and moving directly to the next objective can cause you to miss optional dialogue that gives context to the clan and its plans.
Location: Aldecaldos camp
TipTreat the camp as a short social hub rather than a corridor between objectives.
04
Talk to the Aldecaldos.
Speak with the available Aldecaldos
Talk to the nearby clan members before the departure sequence advances. Conversations with members such as Mitch Anderson, Carol Emeka, and Cassidy Righter help establish how the group is handling the upcoming operation, even when they do not produce a separate combat objective.
Location: Aldecaldos camp
05
Talk to Saul Bright.
Talk to Saul Bright
Find Saul Bright in the camp and complete his conversation. Saul's exchange frames the operation from the clan leadership's perspective and confirms that V is being included in a plan that affects the whole Aldecaldos family.
Location: Aldecaldos camp
Watch outDo not assume that the first conversation is the only meaningful camp interaction; check the area for other available speakers before leaving.
06
Talk to Panam Palmer.
Talk to Panam Palmer
Speak with Panam Palmer when the objective directs V to her. Her conversation is the personal center of the mission and connects the earlier route decision with the practical preparations now taking place around the camp.
Location: Aldecaldos camp
07
Complete the preparations for the operation.
Finish the camp preparations
Follow the active objective markers and complete any remaining interactions the mission presents. This section is primarily conversational, so allow the dialogue to finish and watch for the prompt that signals the clan is ready to move on.
Location: Aldecaldos camp
TipIf you want every available exchange, make a final circuit of the camp before accepting the departure prompt.
08
Join the Aldecaldos for the operation.
Join the Aldecaldos
When the mission asks V to take part in the clan's next step, accept the progression rather than returning to unrelated activities. This confirms V's place in the operation and moves the story toward the assault mission that follows.
Location: Aldecaldos camp
Checkpoint
09
Proceed to the next mission.
Leave the camp and continue to Belly of the Beast
Follow Panam and the Aldecaldos as the preparation sequence concludes. The mission transitions into Belly of the Beast, so the next objectives belong to the continuing ending route rather than to a freely repeatable camp activity.
Location: Aldecaldos camp
Watch outThis transition commits the story to the continuing Aldecaldos ending sequence; complete any desired open-world preparation beforehand.

Mission mechanics

We Gotta Live Together uses a social-hub structure. Its main gameplay loop is moving through the , locating people with available dialogue, and advancing the objective after the relevant conversations are complete. There is no need to search for a hidden combat route or a special weapon to solve the mission.

The camp's layout makes optional dialogue easy to miss because the critical objective can pull V toward the next stage before every nearby character has been checked. A slow sweep of the camp after each major conversation is the safest way to see the available exchanges without relying on a combat build or specialized cyberware.

The mission is also a route transition rather than an isolated task. Once V leaves with the Aldecaldos, the story continues through the assault sequence and later ending content. Players who want to preserve access to unrelated Night City activities should make those preparations before selecting the route in Nocturne OP55N1 or before accepting the final departure from camp.

What works and what does not

Strengths

Provides a quieter character-focused pause before the high-stakes Aldecaldos operation.
Gives V direct contact with several Aldecaldos instead of presenting the clan only through Panam Palmer.
Makes the route's commitment to the clan clear before the next mission begins.
Allows players who value dialogue and world-building to spend time in the camp.

Weaknesses

Offers little conventional combat or loot, which can make it feel slower than other main missions.
The camp's optional conversations can be overlooked if the player follows the objective marker too quickly.
Its biggest consequences are deferred to later missions, so the mission does not provide a self-contained resolution.

Best uses

Explore the camp and complete available conversations before departing.
Use the mission as a final narrative preparation point for the Aldecaldos route.
Finish unrelated free-roam preparation before committing to the ending sequence.

Choices and consequencesSpoilers

V receives additional character and clan context, but the available exchanges do not create a separate ending route by themselves.
Leave the camp and proceed when the mission offers the next transition.
The story advances into Belly of the Beast and the continuing Aldecaldos operation. Returning to ordinary open-world activity is no longer the purpose of this sequence.

Failure conditions

Choose a different plan in Nocturne OP55N1.We Gotta Live Together is not started if V selects Rogue's plan, the solo approach, or another available ending route instead of asking the Aldecaldos for help.
Advance past the camp without completing optional conversations.The mission can continue, but V may lose the opportunity to hear some of the camp dialogue before the group departs.
Leave for the final transition unprepared.The story moves onward into the Aldecaldos operation, so players may be unable to return to normal free-roam activities during the continuing ending sequence.

On failure

The route choice occurs before this mission and is the important point to protect. Camp dialogue is generally an opportunity for additional context rather than a separate fail-state.

AftermathSpoilers

The camp is the point of no ordinary return

Once V completes the preparation and leaves with the Aldecaldos, the story continues through the clan's endgame operation in Belly of the Beast. The mission does not resolve V's fate on its own; its larger consequences are determined by the later ending sequence.

Trivia

The mission's title reflects the Aldecaldos' emphasis on family and collective survival.
Unlike many main missions in Cyberpunk 2077, this sequence places its main emphasis on a nomad camp and conversations rather than a sustained firefight.
The mission functions as a narrative bridge between the ending decision in Nocturne OP55N1 and the Aldecaldos assault mission that follows.
