NCPD Hustle Types¶

NCPD Hustles are the lowest tier of jobs that you can undertake in Night City. Once again, there are three categories to these, Assault in Progress, Reported Crime and Suspected Organized Crime Activity. These can be found dotted across the map as blue markers and they’ll all be available from the start. Your tasks will vary based on what category, as detailed below:

• Assault in Progress - These are the most numerous NCPD Hustles you’ll find across Night City and they usually involve dealing with a group of enemies before looting a container or bag in the immediate vicinity.

• Reported Crime - These Hustles deal with finding a corpse that will usually lead to loot somewhere else upon looking at the nearby clues. These will appear in your journal.

• Suspected Organized Crime Activity - While these are similar to Assault in Progress, these cover a larger area and you’ll need to take out all of the enemies before looting the final stash.

Variable Equipment and Hustles¶

Like Gigs, there tends to be one loot pickup of considerable value in each NCPD Scanner Hustle (particularly the “Assault in Progress” ones) - often being the container/body you need to loot to complete said hustle. Also like Gigs, the item and its quality tends to be randomized, but the item is more rigidly determined, while the quality is rerolled based on proximity. Go far enough away or reload the game and the item will be rerolled. Unlike Gigs, however, hustle drops are lower quality - typically ranging from uncommon to epic. You can save/load the rarity of these drops, but whether it’s worth your time to do so for an epic drop is a matter of debate.
