Cyberpunk 2077 gangs list
After the sun goes down in Cyberpunk 2077, gangs are the true rulers of Night City. Hailing from all over the world, these gangs all have their own tastes, talents, and enemies; and during V’s journey you’ll get to learn everything about all of them. But let’s go over the eight major gangs below to prepare you a little for this journey.
6th Street
Now, they’re far more self-serving in their actions, known for forcing various small local business to pay them “protection money” on a regular basis. 6th Street’s main rival is the Valentinos.
Animals
Animals are a “boostergang” - a group of people who utilise cyberware in some way. In the Animals' case, they strive for peak physical power, using a combination of cyberware, animal supplements, and drugs - notably one called “the Juice” - to dramatically increase their strength and combat abilities.
Maelstrom
Maelstrom are another gang obsessed with cyberware, but while the Animals only care about traditional physical strength, Maelstrom use cyberware of all kinds in their goal to achieve cybernetic perfection.
Their gang members often go to extreme lengths with cybernetic enhancements, to the point where many of them suffer from “cyberpsychosis”, a mental illness where sufferers lose their sense of self and their empathy towards others.
Moxes
The Moxes were formed after the death of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Borden, a strip club owner who was known for her staunch defence of her workers and their rights. The Moxes consist primarily of sex workers and outcasts who attempt to continue Lizzie’s work to “protect working girls and guys” from abuse across Night City.
Their primary rivals are the Tyger Claws, who killed Lizzie and several of her employees. While relatively small, the Moxes find strength in their sense of community - and their hidden Braindance stations.
Scavengers
Tyger Claws
Tyger Claws is a Japanese gang operating out of Japantown in Night City. They are a powerful and populous gang whose members prefer to abstain from cybernetic implants, and instead rely on traditional methods and weaponry to get what they want from others.
Tyger Claws own more businesses in Night City than any other gang on this list: but they’ve found a special rivalry in the Moxes after their ruthless actions resulted in the death of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Borden, mentioned above.
Valentinos
The Latino-dominated Valentinos are a powerful gang operating out of Heywood in Night City, and are known for valuing honour and community far more than most other gangs in Cyberpunk 2077.
Valentinos appear to have no real goal beyond sustaining their territory and seducing attractive women throughout Night City. Their primary rivals are 6th Street.
Voodoo Boys
Primarily Haitian in origin, the Voodoo Boys are known for their netrunning and edgerunning prowess. They operate in viruses, information, and threats, and remain probably the most shadowy of the gangs in Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 corporations list
Militech
Militech is the world’s leading weapons manufacturer, and the single wealthiest megacorporation in Cyberpunk 2077. They are known for providing private military forces for peacekeeping and defence missions to anyone who can pay - including terrorists.
Their rivalry with Arasaka is legendary, and the two forces clashed in the Fourth Corporate War, culminating in a nuclear detonation at Arasaka’s Tower over 50 years before the events of Cyberpunk 2077.
Arasaka
Arasaka are known to have ties to theYakuza, and often uses assassins and hitmen to cover their illicit tracks. Their main rivalry in Cyberpunk 2077 is with Militech.
Trauma Team International
Kang Tao
While not nearly on the scale of vast corporations like Militech and Arasaka, Kang Tao is a name to remember. Originating in Taiwan, Kang Tao are a powerful corporation dealing in weapons manufacturing, and specialising in Smart weaponry - a technology we discuss in great detail in ourCyberpunk 2077 weaponsguide.
In Cyberpunk 2077, it seems that Kang Tao are starting to branch out, following Militech’s footsteps in providing military and mercenary teams to those who can pay their rates.
And with that, we’ve given you everything we know on the various factions of Night City. For more on Cyberpunk, be sure to check out ourCyberpunk 2077 mapguide, or read up on theCyberpunk 2077 character creationsystem.
