Navigating the complex side quests of Cyberpunk 2077 often leads players into intricate detective work, and few missions are as memorable as The Hunt. While assisting River Ward in tracking down his missing nephew Randy, players encounter an optional objective to secure the IP address belonging to Anthony Harris. Unlocking this critical piece of digital evidence requires careful investigation of a hidden laptop and an understanding of character stat requirements.

Locating the Hidden Laptop in Randy's Trailer

To begin the investigation, V and River must travel to the trailer park and inspect Randy's personal living space. Searching the bedroom thoroughly reveals a hidden computer tucked away beneath the bed frame. Accessing the computer requires either finding the correct password from a nearby record player or hacking through the terminal directly.

Navigating the Web Pages to Trigger the Objective

Once inside the terminal, you must review the stored messages and files to uncover clues regarding Randy's recent activity. Accessing the Net tab leads to a site named Drugs Are Bad, where clicking on specific images reveals hidden subpages. Watching the required cartoon media file stored on the system officially unlocks the optional prompt to grab the IP address.

Meeting the Intelligence Attribute Checks

Extracting the IP address requires stepping away from the laptop interface to initiate a direct dialogue check with River Ward. Success in this check depends heavily on your character's Intelligence attribute level. Depending on game updates and player level scaling, having sufficient Intelligence allows V to breach the network and extract Harris's network location seamlessly.

Why the IP Address Objective Matters

Securing the IP address serves as an advantageous shortcut that aids the overall investigation process. While failing the stat check does not fail the quest entirely, acquiring the address demonstrates V's netrunning expertise and streamlines subsequent investigative steps. Completing this objective enhances the narrative experience as you close in on saving the missing victims.
