This guide is for those on The Pickup mission in Cyberpunk 2077.
How to keep the Eddies from the Militech Shard
First off, you’ll have to call Meredith Stout before meeting with Jackie.
Once you meet up with her, she’ll hand you a Militech Shard, which you’ll have to accept in order to have a chance of keeping the eddies.
Whenever you want, you can go into your Shards menu and scroll all the way down to Other – Militech Datashard.
At this point you can choose to decrypt, and the order you need to go in is BD BD FF 55 1C E9. Doing so removes the virus from the chip as well as gives you the quickhack Synapse Burnout, which costs 5 RAM.
After you kill Royce, whether during the meetup or at the end of the factory, go into your Inventory – All Items. Scroll to the bottom and you should find the Hacked Militech Datashard. You can now download the eddies and keep them for yourself.
Congratulations on the quick 10k.
