Cyberpunk 2077 Gangs of Night City (JPN)

You know how things work in Night City? The strongest survive. But that's how things stand. You're either somebody or you fizzle out into nothing. Night City ain't a city that lets you get by without buddies. Be very careful, my friend. We are all so far from home.

Which gang's the city's biggest and baddest according to the NCPD? Scavengers hold the body count title. Or Maelstrom, depending on the season. One time a Maelstrom ganger killed a young kid right in front of my eyes, for shits 'n' giggles. Chromesuckin' psychos! And who the fuck are you to say what can and can't be? I'm gonna introduce you to our meat grinder.

About time we had some fun! Think Maelstrom ever forgets? Never! I hate these Borg fuckers. Just a gang like any other, right? Take the Valentinos. They follow God and the Santa Muerte. Honor means something to them. How did you meet Jackie? We started out together.

In the Valentinos? No, in the fucking Bible Book Club. I gotta give style points to the Valentinos. They have a punishment for every occasion. Gangster life, puto. Quick shout-out to everyone in Heywood and Santo Domingo! Lately, the Valentinos and 6th Street have had a bigger bone to pick.

6th Street. Why do they wanna wipe you? Huh, can't fuckin' stand 'Tinos? I've dealt with 6th Street before. We do the run, they'll transfer the cred. C'mon, let's go before 6th Street shows up. Any more Second Amendment fans in the house? Huh? Ugh, hate those bastards.

Vomit lofty patriotic bullshit all day. Time to bring on the future. Any idea how many attacks from behind the Blackwall we neutralized? If the Voodoo Boys breach the Blackwall, we'll all be fucked. Voodoo Boys? Urban myth, I thought. Just netrunners spookin' each other.

No such gang. Y'know, I heard a few things about you. The Voodoo Boys. Best Netrunners in town. You do not steal from the Voodoo Boys. I see you. Always. For them, Pacifica's just Haiti 2.0. Their own island, cut off from the rest of the city. This is our turf, our home.

Until last week. The Animals crawled in. Animals are the craziest fucking gang in this city. Break her skull! Animals aren't the play here, are they? They are hired muscle. Someone else needed them. I fucked you over, you fucked the gang over. Somewhere at the start of the story, somebody fucked the corp.

See how this works, now? My husbands knew Westbrook. Very high in the Tyger Claws. They did what made the best eddies. Sold sex and black-market tech. See a lot of Tygers. They run this place? Know what else they do well? Break the knees of people who ask questions.

We gotta do something! The Tygers will kill us. Come on, baby! Tyger Claws killed one girl too many, so people took matters into their own hands. Folk went ballistic. Girls, pimps, outcasts – the whole freakshow. It's how the Mox got started. Think you some kinda gangoon now, huh? Us Moxes have each other's backs.

We look out for one another. You looking for some company tonight? How did you hook up with the Mox? I thought Susie and the gang could really change something in this city. Moxes and nomads don't seem so different. Both seem to yammer a lot about community, solidarity.

Tell me about the Badlands. Not much going on out here? Au contraire. This is an ecosystem. Nomads, Raffen Shiv, corporations and drifters – they form a complete whole. Remove one part, the delicate balance topples. Here in the Aldecaldos, it all stays in the family.
