Cyberpunk 2077, since its inception, has received mixed reviews, but this hasn’t stopped the title from breaking records.

CD Projekt RED released Cyberpunk after several delays. Despite the bugs that players have come across in the game, the RPG is being considered a modern-day classic.

It also enables the players to build a character of their choice that suits their desired play style. Not only that, the combat in the game is satisfying to execute and turns difficult scenarios into well-crafted puzzles.

Unlike other RPG’s, Cyberpunk 2077 has an expansive currency system. Everything in Night City costs money. As expected, the players start the game short of intriguing weapons, shiny clothes, and cool cyber enhancements.

But this changes once the players start earning Eurodollars (Eddies) by fulfilling missions and side quests. However, this process is rather laborious for players who want to amp up their characters.

The following is a list of ways the players can earn some quick cash in order to make advancements in the RPG. Moreover, the players can also use this method to obtain better equipment and can also bribe NPCs to have their way in the game.

Loot everything in your way

The players must not hesitate from looting in order to earn a quick buck. From cabinets to corpses, loot everything in the game. Most of what the players loot in Cyberpunk 2077 is described as ‘junk’.

The players can break down this junk to crafting components or can simply sell these to vendors. However, anything less than 50-100 eddies isn’t worth the hassle.

Surprisingly, the game makes this task pretty easy. When the players come across a piece of junk, the game automatically shows its value. The players can use this method to pick only those items that might fetch them more eddies than others.

Looting the bodies of enemies is also a lucrative way of earning money. On a good day, these might give the players a rare weapon, or armor that can be sold. The players should also keep an eye out for junk jewelry like broaches, necklaces, and bracelets that they can sell for 750 eddies a pop.

Hack every computer

The players while exploring the Night City should also keep an eye out for hackable computers. Netrunners are pretty good at this and can easily transfer funds to their account by hacking the access points and terminals.

The game allows the players to get more skillful with their hacking techniques. This consequently allows the players to transfer more funds into their bank accounts.

The intelligence tree also allows the players to grab perks that make hacking a cakewalk as the game takes its unexpected turns. One, in particular, worth grabbing early is the Advanced Datamine perk, which lets you transfer even more money after a successful hack.

Defeated enemies drop several items that hold a lot of value in the game. They might drop rare weapons. If you already have it or find a better replacement, sell the one you don’t need as it might fetch you a considerable amount of eddies.

This method gets the players a good amount of eddies in the initial stages of the game. Do we feel bad ripping off the unconscious bodies of defeated enemies? Absolutely not.

Be a part of different gigs

Another perk of exploring the Night City is that it enables the players to get acquainted with the Fixers in the district. These fixers will hire you to finish several gigs.
