Find Fiona’s Office
Upon entering the exhibition hall,Cyberpunk 2077playerswill be instructed to find Fiona’s office, and this task can be completed with eitherstealth or combat. Here are details on how to pursue those distinct options, and fans should simply select the approach that they find most interesting:
Players that want to use stealth should begin by sitting at theopen bar stooland speaking with the exhibition hall’s bartender. In this conversation, players should indicate that the team that they work for isnone of the bartender’s businessand then wait for the nearby glass pane to break. This distraction will give players the opportunity to pass through one of the"Personnel Only" doors, and they should start sneaking their way to thesoutheast cornerof the restricted area.
The goal is now to pass through thedoor in the southeast cornerin order to access Sports Medicine. The problem is that this door is closed, and players must have a sufficientTechnical Abilityor use a nearbycomputerto get it open. For those fans that do need the help of the computer, it can be accessed by following these steps:
Players should now descend the stairs that are beyond the door that they have just opened and continue sneaking in anorthwesterlydirection. Fans that travel in that direction will soon reach theDormitory door, and the path that is beyond it will lead them directly to Fiona’s office.
Players that are happy to shoot their way into Fiona’s office should feel free to pass through a “Personnel Only” door without any distraction. These fans should then pull out their favoriteCyberpunk 2077weaponsand slay their way through the aforementioned Sports Medicine and Dormitory areas. Players can also tell the bartender that they work for theShreddersin order to prompt a line of questioning that will ultimately lead to this massacre.

Cyberpunk 2077: Should You Accept Fiona’s Offer or Not
More specifically, fans must either accept Fiona’s offer of a “controlled leak,” which will protect her most valuable clients, or refuse it and download all the data. While some players may agonize over this decision, it is really just an opportunity toroleplay. Indeed, there isno gameplay advantageassociated with either of the options, and fans should thus feel free to select the choice that sits best with their imagining ofCyberpunk 2077’s V.
For those players that are moved by Fiona’s speech, which centers around how a full leak could impact her young athletes, that may mean accepting the offer. On the flip side, fans that feel particularly loyal to their client andfixer inCyberpunk 2077, or find Fiona’s operation problematic, may opt to refuse. Notably, fans that go for this second option will be under assault upon exiting the facility, though they should have little trouble dispatching their assailants.
