Cyberpunk 2077: New Event In Badlands | Update 2.1 Easter Egg Location

Cyberpunk 2077 truly is the gift that keeps on giving, with new events and easter eggs still being found after Update 2.1.

It involves Netwatch, a real-life website, and Sandra Dornet. Quite a recipe, right?

In this guide, we’ll tell you how to trigger this new event in the Badlands!

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 – New Secret Badlands Event

You can find and start the new secret Badlands event in the Jackson Plains area of the Southern Badlands.

More specifically, you need to head to the Solar Arrays and go to the central solar power station, marked on the map above.

Approach the power plant and you’ll find some Netwatch agents have cordoned off the area and are inspecting a corpse.

They won’t allow you to get any closer, though you can always just resort to violence! Kill them and they won’t be able to deny you entry.

Take them out and you’re free to explore the crime scene!

Explore the corpse and you’ll find that they have a device with no messages. Who was this person, anyway?

Well, if you check the nearby table with Netwatch equipment, you’ll learn that the corpse’s identity is Laurie Anderson.

Even more interestingly, look for a large truck with an open compartment and hop inside. The table inside this truck has a few interesting tidbits for us!

Netwatch And Sandra Dornet Easter Eggs

The first thing of note in here is a readable shard that logs a conversation between Sandra Dornet and an unknown party.

To the left of the log, you’ll find a QR code that decodes to a real-life Netwatch website which requires login credentials to access.

Thankfully, the login credentials are also found on the table!

You’ll get access to the archives section of the Netwatch’s website, which has a lot of strange pictures for you to look through.

Also, check the computer on the table to read some e-mails from Netwatch agents talking about Sandra Dornet and other netrunners. Even more lore!

Lastly, make sure to check the small box to the left of the table. It has some Quickhack Components, a Self-ICE cyberware, and a Headhopper weapon mod.
