In Cyberpunk 2077, The Hunt stands out as one of the most intense and unsettling side jobs available across Night City. While accompanying detective River Ward to search for his missing nephew Randy, players encounter an optional objective to extract Anthony Harris's IP address. Uncovering this digital footprint rewards tech-focused builds with valuable insight and seamless mission progression.
Investigating Randy's Trailer for Clues
To locate the laptop containing critical information, players must thoroughly search Randy's bedroom inside the trailer. The computer is hidden directly under the bed, requiring players to either hack the device or find its login credentials. Playing the nearby record player reveals the password Liberum Arbitrium, granting full access to the terminal.
Once inside the computer system, navigating through the messages and Net tabs unlocks hidden web pages linked to the target. Inspecting the specific cartoon file triggers the optional prompt to trace the digital signal. This crucial step sets up the chance to extract exact location data for River Ward.
Meeting the Intelligence Attribute Requirement
Obtaining Harris's IP address directly depends on your character's technical expertise in netrunning. Players must meet an Intelligence attribute requirement when interacting with the laptop terminal. Following major gameplay updates, this attribute check scales relative to your overall character level.
If your character lacks the necessary attribute points, the optional objective cannot be completed. Fortunately, failing to retrieve the IP address does not lock you out of the quest or prevent you from saving Randy. The narrative continues smoothly through alternative investigation steps, such as examining the braindance sequences.
Completing The Hunt and Rescuing Randy
After gathering digital evidence from the computer, V and River proceed to analyze the braindance files. Scanning environmental details within the memories points the duo directly toward Edgewood Farm. Navigating the farm carefully allows players to disarm active traps and rescue the remaining victims.
Successfully securing the IP address provides a satisfying payoff for players who invest heavily in hacking mechanics. Building a balanced character ensures you can handle diverse skill checks throughout Night City's many narrative side quests.
