Brian and Liz explore the Badlands region of Cyberpunk 2077, focusing on its expansive and desolate landscape and unique storytelling. From fixer Dakota's soulful gigs to oddball desert encounters, they explore how the Badlands offer a completely different experience compared to Night City.

 Key Points

• Dakota, the Fixer: Unlike any other fixer in Night City, Dakota brings spiritual depth, a calm demeanor, and a nomadic outsider's perspective to her gigs.
• The Gigs: Brian and Liz highlight emotionally resonant and quirky gigs like “Trevor’s Last Ride,” “Dancing in the Minefield,” and the discovery of Bartmoss.
• Easter Eggs & Lore: They unpack key locations such as the landfill site, the church with mysterious updates in 2.0, and visual nods to other RPGs and the broader Cyberpunk lore.

Honorable Mentions: Sunset Motel, Biotechnical Flats, Rocky Ridge, Laguna Bend

Gigs Mentioned: Dancing on a Minefield, Flying Drugs, Big Pete’s Got Big Problems, No Fixers, Trevor’s Last Ride, MIA, Sparring Partner, Goodbye, Night City, and Radar Love
