Cyberpunk 2077 Mission: Moving Heat Bug - Dude Where's My Car

Some time after completing the Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty main story mission, you will receive a text from Ashley who offers you the opportunity to obtain the Quadra Sport R-7 “Charon” sports car that the Cassel ginger twins – Aurore and Aymeric – were driving. This will begin the Moving Heat mission.

This is actually a really tough mission; I failed in stealth (it’s not my build) and basically it turned into full combat mode early doors! Once you get into the actual garage itself there are a couple of well-placed gun turrets that you can quickhack to aid you – and you are probably gonna need them as the enemies here not only have good cover and guns, but they are in plentiful supply. They also have extremely good eyesight and can hit you with clear shots no matter where you are. There’s also a few heavy gunners wandering around eager to rip you to shreds with their Militech Mk. 31 HMG (heavy machine gun).

There is also a car crew that jumps the barricade to try and surprise you to death. Check out the carnage (The body count is 27):

**Moving Heat Bug: I Made It To The Map Location, But The Charon Car Is Missing! Dude Where’s My Car?**

The Missing Car Bug: Once you’ve elminated everyone and head to the car there is an interesting bug that can occur – the car is not there!!! (it happened to me 3 times, even on pre-mission reloads).

The Solution: (I’m on XBOX XS console) Unfortunately, you’ll need to reload a save from BEFORE you attempted the mission. I actually went and did other jobs before coming back to try again, as my earliest pre-mission reload still had the bug – that seemed to solve the problem. I suspect you have to be away from the area to not trigger it on a reload.

The Barrier Won’t Lower Bug: If you save and reload at any point inside the garage, the barrier at the exit won’t lower when you reach it with the car. You can ramp it — the car makes it over — but the game doesn’t register it as an exit. The objective stays stuck on “exit with the car” no matter how far you drive. Dogtown, Night City, doesn’t matter. The mission log just sits there and will not update.

The Solution: (I’m on XBOX XS console) Unfortunately, you’ll need to do the entire garage sequence in one go. No saves, no reloads, no dying. If anything goes wrong inside, reload a save from before you entered and start the garage again from scratch. This makes it an absolute pain for stealth builds, so make sure you are perked up before attempting this one, or you could be in for a lot of do-overs.

Help! I’ve Got The Car, And I’ve Got Out Of The Garage But I Can’t Evade The 4-Star Wanted Level & Enemies!

Here’s What I Did: Upon clearing the enemies and getting in the car, there is much more battling to do, as waves of enemies pour out from the areas you’ve cleared, and there’s always a skull-enemy with 3 health-bars to contend with. They riddle the car with bullets – so instead make yourself the target by getting out of the car and wiping them all out.

Once you’ve cleared all these enemies your nightmare isn’t over, it’s only just beginning as your contact Ashley betrays you and the game gives you a 4-star wanted rating, if you drive out of that garage, with the damage already done to the car you are absolute toast.

Same bones, different century. The Quadra Type-66 that never made it out of Night City… on a tee that did.

You can cheese this if you want. I tried a couple of times to drive out of there and I just couldn’t avoid the pursuit. It’s really tricky driving because of all the obstacles in dogtown, with the heavily damaged car, in the dark… so I decided to cheese.

Cheesing the wanted rating: So, to do that, just sit at the entryway/exit to the garage and wait until your wanted meter flashes and disappears, then you can slowly and gingerly nurse the car out of there (or save once the stars disappear), and you have your new car.

Enjoy!
