The hour of confusion in Cyberpunk 2077 is the twelfth story mission of the Phantom Liberty expansion, continuing the events of Judgment Day, in the case when V takes the side of Reed. In this guide, we will analyze the stages of completing the quest, in which the player will have to recapture Jay from a paramilitary convoy and then track down the fugitive.
Walkthrough of the mission “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos” in Cyberpunk 2077
How to start a task
An alternative to this quest would be “Fading Star” - if in the previous quest you decided to trust Jay.
The hour of confusion will begin immediately upon completion of the previous stage of the main storyline of the add-on - "Judgment Day" (if you decide to catch Jay), after which you can complete an additional mission from Mr. Hands - "Interregnum", and then return to completing the task under discussion.
Call netrunner
To implement the first part of the plan, you need to find a partner with “special” talents, because you are going to intercept the route of the Max-Tak convoy. You can contact suitable people from your contact list and this choice depends on who you have already met in the main game. If the add-on is launched without previous progress, Nyx and Chang Hoon will be available, as well as Carol - but she will immediately refuse the task. Also, if you suddenly do not have suitable candidates, you can call Mr. Hands - for 15 thousand credits he is ready to recommend his person for this mission.
Meet with the netrunner
A meeting with any of the performers will be scheduled at the Kabuki market. Get to the point and climb onto the balcony of the central pavilion, where you can take an appointed place at the bench and wait.
When the message arrives, turn around and go inside the bar. Your contact will be waiting there. The dialogue may vary slightly depending on the netrunner, but in any case you will pass the scan and receive a chip to proceed further. You can also agree to send the coordinates of the ambush site for an additional payment.
Meet Reed
Send the spy the details you just found out and then return to him at the Shore Slums, the closest travel point to the West Wind Apartment Complex. Go up to the second floor of the abandoned hotel, where the meeting will take place. Before joining the team, you can optionally talk with Johnny, who is ready to share his opinion on the current situation.
Join Reed and his companions in the next room, then go out to the balcony and talk to the demolitionist, and then again with Reed. When the preparation is completed, you can optionally provide new information to Hands - this will increase the reward for completing the mission.
Convoy battle
You need to take one of the proposed waiting places - your choice. If you have a good long-range weapon, it is better to choose a point with maximum visibility of the road.
When the convoy falls into a trap, deal with the enemies on the road and open the van. Fighting Max-Tak officers can be quite a challenge. The key to victory will be to focus on attacking one enemy, preferably the one that Reed neutralizes - watch the laser designator. The enemy hit by it suffers an implant failure and this is a good time to deal maximum damage to that target.
When it's over, go to the truck.
The jay will disappear, and you need to go upstairs and check on Reed - he is wounded, so the pursuit is completely transferred to V for now. Follow Jay's trail until you reach the quest marker at the end of the road.
Here it is better to take a car and just follow the mark, around the bend you will find a building rammed by a truck, and the mission will be completed. The next stage of this plot thread will begin - “Looking into the Abyss”.
