During the intense side job titled The Hunt in Cyberpunk 2077, players assist River Ward in searching for a missing teenager named Randy. One crucial step involves investigating Randy's trailer to locate a hidden laptop under his bed. Securing Anthony Harris's IP address from this computer serves as a key optional objective that helps narrow down the location of the killer's hideout.
Finding the Laptop and Unlocking Access
Before retrieving any network data, players must gain access to Randy's personal computer. If your character has a high enough Intelligence attribute, you can bypass the security immediately through hacking. Players without the required attribute points can inspect the record player in the room to find the password, which is Liberum Arbitrium.
Navigating the Net and Hidden Files
Once logged into the terminal, sit alongside River to examine the local files and web pages. You must read through the messages and visit the Net tab to click on the featured image on the page. This opens a hidden link leading to a missing video file titled ATT_CART_VIDEO, which you can then view directly from the laptop's file directory.
Extracting the IP Address
After reviewing all required media on the computer, exit the terminal interface to unlock new interaction options. If V possesses sufficient Intelligence stats, a dialogue prompt allows you to breach the network and extract the IP address directly. Successfully completing this hack checks off the optional task, giving River extra intelligence before analyzing the upcoming braindances.
Impact on the Mission Outcome
Obtaining the IP address streamlines the investigation process, though players can still complete the quest without it by carefully scanning clues during the braindance sequences. Taking the time to gather every piece of evidence ensures the safest resolution for the victims trapped at Edgewood Farm. Combining high technical attributes with careful exploration yields the most rewarding narrative path for River's storyline.
