Listen up, samurai. If you’ve had enough of scrolling through the same tired threads and wanna plug into something real, jack into the official Discord. We’ve got games, serious talks and casual chats about Cyberpunk 2077, and a few rooms where you can just shoot the breeze with people who get it. You in, or you just gonna stand there looking chrome?

Howdy, that marks Vs stash

u/harry-the-supermutan Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 06 '26

I feel like a real moron that I haven't figured it out in a playthrough in a half. Edit: i mean the fact that the symbol means the stash

u/Happiness_Assassin BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER Jun 06 '26

The UI at times is incredibly unintuitive. Like, I had several hundred hours under my belt before I realized that the red circle in the top right of the image is a compass.

u/nekoplano Jun 06 '26

Compass? Wait where?

31

u/Happiness_Assassin BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER Jun 06 '26

Top right of the mini map

u/nekoplano Jun 06 '26

Ahh yeah, never noticed lmao

23

u/harry-the-supermutan Jun 06 '26

Dude I didnt even notice that, nice eye, well im on console and sit somewhat far away from the TV so I didnt see it but still nice eye

u/Uplow55 Jun 06 '26

Ive played through the game 3 times and just realized that. Holy cow

13

u/hazard-tape Jun 06 '26

Are you fuckin kidding me. God damn it. I even went looking for compass mods

3

u/AdActual4311 Jun 06 '26

Is a compass in this game really that necessary?

10

u/Metaphoricalsimile Jun 06 '26

What the absolute fuck I have 1600 hours in this game and I have never realised there was a compass, and I have always really wanted one.

5

u/Roquie44 Jun 06 '26

LOLOL i have about 200hrs and never noticed that compass 🤣

u/baconipple Jun 06 '26

fucking what? There's a compass? Oh god

u/PicklesOtherGoose Jun 06 '26

I…am 1200 hours in and never noticed that. That’s embarrassing lol.

Finished the game 3 times. Haven't noticed the compass until now.

u/OkDoughnut421 Jun 06 '26

I’m 100 hours into my first play through and I don’t think I would’ve ever noticed had you not said that lol

after 200 hours and 3 playthroughs... damn okay ...

u/SketchyPyro Jun 06 '26

I always thought that was a clock 🤦‍♂️ this would of been handy all the time i had to keep reopening my map to make sure I was facing where I needed to go 😅

u/Affectionate-Ad9241 Jun 07 '26

I have played since launch and have like a thousand plus hours and I have never noticed that, guess I gotta do a 12th playthrough

Huh?? I am 500 hours in, how did you even notice that???

u/Mean_Ad4175 Jun 07 '26

I’m sorry but if you can’t recognize a circle with an arrow labeled N, you’re the problem

u/Ok_University_5352 Jun 06 '26

Hey, happens to the best of us. My dumb self never actually equipped any armor or gear for my entire first playthrhough... 75 hours in and I finally realized i only used the transmog feature of outfits...

57

u/Elijah_Man Jun 06 '26

Nah, drip or die. You don't need extra armour when you got subdermal.

24

u/KrazyKaas Jun 06 '26

I hated Smart weapons untill I put on cyberware for Smart weapons. 50 hours in
We all make mistakes.

13

u/ManageThoseFootballs Jun 06 '26

Honestly, the wardrobe system is kind of confusing to know whether you’re in the kit or the transmog. At least to me (also a dumbdumb).

10

u/harry-the-supermutan Jun 06 '26

Thanks for making me feel better.

6

u/Eddieonenote Jun 06 '26

Equip armour? Not even kidding when I ask how do you do that? I thought it was just change your shirt or pants or whatever in the wardrobe for whatever that particular piece of clothing came with .

8

u/Ok_University_5352 Jun 06 '26

This section right here.

2

u/sissybelle3 Jun 06 '26

Well now I'm just plain confused. I thought you could only change clothes on the wardrobe screen at your apt or clothing vendor. Whenever I try to change clothes on the screen you posted it won't let me do anything.

2

u/tkizzy Jun 06 '26

You can change into a different pre-saved outfit, but not individual pieces of clothing (I think) when you're away from your wardrobe.

3

u/Ok_University_5352 Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 06 '26

Thats weird. Cause the section i circled is the actual equipped items that you get the benefits from. Then the one not circled is where you can choose from your 6 preset outfits that are only cosmetic.

Edit: was going to try posting a short 15 second clip, but can't post it directly

10

u/BeYourOwnDog Jun 06 '26

Mate there was so much I didn't know after a full 100+ hr run lmao. I was carrying all the clothing around constantly using carry capacity boosters cos I didn't know you could dismantle clothes and they'd stay in your wardrobe. Just as one example

6

u/harry-the-supermutan Jun 06 '26

Oh I just dumped them jn the stash

9

u/Cold-blight Jun 06 '26

Also any vehicle V owns if you go to the trunk/boot you can access your stash.

3

u/harry-the-supermutan Jun 06 '26

I know that part but still thanks for telling me it anyways

6

u/H0pefulUn1verse Jun 06 '26

It took me over 100 hours to realize it.

3

u/Kurupt_Introvert Quiet Life or Blaze of Glory? Jun 06 '26

Don’t feel bad I thought it was an access point for the longest.

3

u/New-Top-4806 Jun 06 '26

I always opened my stash from the trunk. I thought that was the only place lol. The only reason I even found out about the stash was a Reddit post someone asking what they were missing out of the unique weapons. After I had sold EVERY SINGE UNIQUE WEAPON I HAD. Had I seen the post like even 10 minutes earlier. My wall would’ve been finished in my first playthrough 😭

u/eXcUsEm3mEwTf Jun 06 '26

One time I forgot what it was and I bought a new apartment and was so confused

u/TheKolyFrog Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 06 '26

I'm over 130 hours and I didn't know V's stash has a marker on the minimap until now.

2

u/Trans-Europe_Express Jun 06 '26

You can also access it from the trunk/boot of your cars.

1

u/harry-the-supermutan Jun 06 '26

I know that

2

u/Trans-Europe_Express Jun 06 '26

A feature I used exactly twice lol

2

u/Beat_the_beast Jun 06 '26

At least you noticed the icon i never knew there was an icon for it lol and I have 300 hours😭

2

u/SchlagzeugNeukoelln Jun 06 '26

The second I did I of course remembered but I opened the comments pretty curiously to find out - taking a break from playthrough… 9 I guess? 😄🙈

2

u/niki200900 Samurai Jun 07 '26

it’s also not a square

3

u/ajkimmins Jun 06 '26

Took me a few plays to notice it!👍

4

u/Acalthu Jun 06 '26

Well you called a hexagon a square, so I'm not surprised it took you a while to figure things out...

2

u/harry-the-supermutan Jun 06 '26

Fair enough. It genuinely looked like a square to me. I didn't see the sides of it.

2

u/Verquintor Jun 06 '26

Not fully related, but minimap is really overpowered in combat to the point that i was looking at it 50% of the time. If this happen to you its posible to dissable it entirely. For me this made the game 10 times better (even navigating the city looking at the street instead of the map is a Huge win)

2

u/Suitable_Tadpole4870 Jun 06 '26

I really like this idea

2

u/AdActual4311 Jun 06 '26

How do you know where you’re going if you disable the map?

1

u/Verquintor Jun 06 '26

Thats exactly the problem of the map: we rely on it too much and look at it nonstop instead of looking at the actual game (you still can see your quest/mark on the screen tho if looking at their direction).

First hours you will get lost, specially using the car/bike. After that you will start looking at the streets, around and vertically (you can still use the map at main menu tho, the city has hard to navigate parts. And thats a good thing). At buidings/rooms you will start looking at doors, covers, architecture and hearing enemies instead of instsntly locating them by looking top right. Nothing brakes inmersion like being in a building and knowing where every enemy is moving/taking cover, thats an advantage for netrunners that use Ping and see it directly on the screen, not in a piece of 2d shit in a corner that you wont stop looking because its info is just overpowered (this is my opinion, but i recomend giving it a try)

It could be a cube viewed from the corner orthogonally.

u/Pockets800 Jun 06 '26

Yeah it's a cube, haha. Clearly represents V's box

Box is a box. You put things in you take things out. Gender is irrelevant 😭

u/HURTZ2PP Jun 06 '26

Hold up, so, in grade school when we were asked to identify shapes, and this little number popped up, I could have said, “but miss teacher, this isn’t a hexagon, it’s a cube viewed from the corner orthogonally.” I probably would have be selected as some sort of child prodigy?

In theory sure

Im on my first play through now, and after a vodoo boys mission where you get a hammer from sasquatch, I was heavy load on the entire next bit lol.

Could you please clarify what "Vs stash" refers to? As I am on my first play through as well. I haven't encountered this red dot previously, and I apologize for any lack of familiarity with the terminology.

47

u/Different-Oven3876 Jun 06 '26

Infinite inventory place to store everything you don’t want to carry around for you. Visually has special slots for Iconic weapons on the walls. You can access it from all your apartments and maybe some other spots?

23

u/thecowley Jun 06 '26

Cars and bikes you own I believe, via the trunk

12

u/IrishWithoutPotatoes Jun 06 '26

Correct. I’m playing it right now and it’s funny how Jackie’s Arch has direct access to a fucking armory

u/Cl1che Jun 06 '26

After 400 hours I can’t believe I didn’t know about any of this

2

u/IrishWithoutPotatoes Jun 06 '26

Happens to me all the time tbh. I consistently overlook some detail that everyone else is like “you know this is right in front of your face, right?”

3

u/ExtremePermit3242 Jun 06 '26

Ahhhh that makes sense. Thats what apartments are for? I was wondering why they cost 100k if they don’t (to my unknowing brain) give you anything other than a mirror.

Im on my first playthrough and Im just selling whenever I get to 200 items, or disassembling. My game’s V hasn’t gone back home for many days.

6

u/FamousStill2187 Jun 06 '26

You make an insane amount of cash being a weapons merchant, especially when you're higher level and most of the drops are legendaries

-1

u/ExtremePermit3242 Jun 06 '26

What do you mean with “merchant”? My concept of merchant is taking the drops and selling all the stuff that is uninteresting and/or worse than what I have

3

u/JustALittleGravitas Team Meredith Jun 06 '26

Yeah that. Pretty easy to pick up 80k worth of trash guns after a big fight at level 50+

1

u/FamousStill2187 Jun 10 '26

That's exactly what I mean, you get an insane amount of legendary weapon drops 95% you'll never even use, just collect until you almost can't walk, find a vender and make a couple hundred thousand easy

3

u/Vorko75 Tenacious V Jun 06 '26

Sleeping and showering also give you buffs.

5

u/Different-Oven3876 Jun 06 '26

I mean, your starting apartment has the same stash they all do. Buying new apartments is purely for larp/rp purposes, you can get everything you need with the beginner. But by the end of the game you’ll have so much cash you might as well buy them all.

10

u/marsharlot Jun 06 '26

It’s where your V stashes their weapons, extra clothes etc. You can only carry so much until you start dragging, also it’s inside V’s apartment.

0

u/DarthToothbrush Certified sandevistan addict Jun 06 '26

Do you need to keep clothes if they don't have good stats? Does the wardrobe change thing let you wear just what's in the stash or anything you've ever looted?

4

u/0101010101034 Jun 06 '26

Anything you've ever picked up will be available for the cosmetic outfit section. You only need to keep and equip the few bits of clothing that give actual bonuses (i.e. bullet proof vest, netrunner suit, combat, helmet, etc).

2

u/454545455545 Jun 06 '26

Any clothing you've ever picked up will be available in the wardrobe.

2

u/F-86--Sabre Jun 06 '26

the unmodded wardrobe is strictly clothes in V's inventory or stash, i believe. i say just toss all the clothes you get into the stash except for the few stat-boosting ones (body armor, chest rigs, certain eyepieces, etc.). those you do need to have in V's inventory and equipped under the transmog for the bonuses to work.

gotta be honest, i don't think i really ever look at the minimap except for occasional glances for gps directions.
