To get Johnny Silverhand’s full outfit in Cyberpunk 2077, you must progress through specific Main Story missions and Side Jobs, as each piece of his clothing is tied to different quests or locations. The full outfit includes his Shirt, Aviators, Pants, and Shoes, which are acquired by completing the “Tapeworm” and “Chippin’ In” Side Jobs, and by locating items during the “Psychofan” and “Family Heirloom” Gigs.
Overview of Johnny’s Outfit
Johnny Silverhand’s iconic attire, including his signature Samurai band tank top, aviator sunglasses, leather pants, and shoes, can be collected by V throughout Night City. These items are more than just cosmetic; they are considered Iconic gear pieces, featuring unique models and the ability to be upgraded through the crafting system. Initially found at Rare quality, they can be enhanced to Legendary status with investments in the Technical Ability skill tree, making them suitable for challenging endgame content. Collecting these items also contributes to the “Breathtaking” Trophy/Achievement.
The acquisition of Johnny’s gear is deeply intertwined with his story arc and V’s journey. Many pieces are directly rewarded for progressing through pivotal moments in the narrative where Johnny plays a significant role. This makes collecting his full outfit a natural part of exploring his character and legacy within the game. Beyond the clothing, players can also obtain Johnny’s Malorian Arms 3516 pistol and his Porsche 911, further completing the legendary rockerboy’s ensemble.
Obtaining Johnny’s Clothing Items
Each piece of Johnny Silverhand’s clothing is acquired through different means, primarily by progressing through the main story and specific side jobs or gigs. Below is a breakdown of where to find each item:
| Item | Quest/Gig | Location/Method | Tier | Slot | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Johnny’s Tank Top | Tapeworm (Side Job) | Received from a cache at the end of the quest in a Pacifica motel room. | Rare / Iconic | Inner Torso | 1.7 |
| Johnny’s Aviators | Chippin’ In (Side Job) | Obtained automatically at the end of the quest. | Rare / Iconic | Face | 0.1 |
| Johnny’s Pants | Psychofan (Gig) | Found in a suitcase in Room 1702, upstairs in the master bedroom. | Rare / Iconic | Legs | 0.7 |
| Johnny’s Shoes | Family Heirloom (Gig) | Located in a locker with the Bootleg Shard. | Rare / Iconic | Feet | 0 |
Johnny’s Tank Top: This item, featuring the Samurai band logo and dog tags, is one of the first pieces you’ll acquire. It becomes available after completing the main story mission “Search and Destroy.” Following these events, the “Tapeworm” side job will trigger. During a reflective moment with Johnny in a motel room in Pacifica, simply progress through the dialogue. The tank top will automatically be added to your inventory as you exit the Sunset Motel. There’s no need to search for it within the room; it’s a direct reward.
Johnny’s Aviators: These red-tinted shades are obtained during the “Chippin’ In” questline, which directly follows “Tapeworm.” The quest begins the day after “Tapeworm” concludes. As you follow the mission’s story, particularly during the “A Cool Metal Fire” section where V takes a pill allowing Johnny to take control, the Aviators will automatically be added to your inventory once V recovers. Like the tank top, these are an unmissable story reward if you complete the mission objectives.
Johnny’s Pants: To find Johnny’s Pants, you need to undertake the “Psychofan” Gig. This gig can be started in The Glen area of Heywood. During this gig, the pants are located in a suitcase. Specifically, you’ll find them upstairs in the master bedroom, within Room 1702.
Johnny’s Shoes: The final piece of Johnny’s clothing, his shoes, is found during the “Family Heirloom” Gig. Within this gig, the shoes are located inside a locker. This locker will also contain the Bootleg Shard.
Important Considerations Before Collecting
Before embarking on your quest to collect all of Johnny Silverhand’s gear, there are crucial points to keep in mind, especially regarding mission progression and potential lockouts. The pursuit of Johnny’s gear is often considered a completionist goal, and knowing when to start and what to avoid is key.
The overarching quest for Johnny’s gear truly kicks off after you complete the main story mission “Search and Destroy.” This mission is a tense Arasaka raid that sets the stage for many of Johnny’s related side jobs. However, a critical warning applies to your progression beyond this point: the mission “Nocturne OP55N1” is Cyberpunk 2077’s point of no return. Starting “Nocturne OP55N1” will lock you out of all open-world side jobs, including those necessary to acquire Johnny’s items, until you complete one of the game’s endings.
Therefore, it is paramount that you complete all side jobs related to Johnny’s gear before you begin “Nocturne OP55N1.” The game will explicitly warn you before you commit to an ending. If you wish to freely roam Night City and collect all of Johnny’s iconic items, ensure they are all secured before you step into Embers to meet Hanako. The good news is that after you complete an ending, the game returns you to your save point just before “Nocturne OP55N1,” allowing you to mop up any missed items, including the remaining pieces of Johnny’s legendary kit.
Furthermore, while the Tank Top and Aviators are generally unmissable if you follow their respective questlines, it’s always wise to ensure you fully complete the dialogue sequences, especially during the “Tapeworm” side job. Rushing through dialogue in key character development scenes can sometimes lead to unexpected issues with reward triggers. Sticking with the main objectives for “Chippin’ In” will ensure you receive the Aviators without issue.
FAQ
