Your name and reputation on the streets of Night City are everything in Cyberpunk 2077. The more missions and jobs you complete for everyone, your reputation grows with you, and doors start to open. It’s a passive amount that grants you benefits at certain levels.

How to get Street Cred

You primarily obtain it from completing jobs from your journal. You can open this up at any time to view various jobs or check your map to view what Night City has in store for you. Whenever you complete a mission, you’ll receive experience, money, and Street Cred.

You’ll be able to view how much Street Cred you character has by going to the character screen and viewing your stats. You’ll see all of the available bonuses you receive for each level of Street Cred you reach.

While many of them are expanding your clothing options, these will be the primary way to receive upgrades and expand your arsenal in Cyberpunk 2077. It’s important to know when you receive a Street Cred upgrade and when you should check out a new store. Buying a new item is better than looting it.
