"The Test" is one of the first major jobs you get in Cyberpunk 2077. You will be given the option of shoot o pay to Royce for the flathead robot in this main job. There is a fixer of some fame in Night City named Dexter Deshawn, who hires Jackie and V to retrieve the Flathead robot from Royce, who turns out to be a new leader of the Maelstrom gang.
In this guide we are going to give todto the information you need to know What if you shoot Royce or if you pay him in Cyberpunk 2077.
The Test: Should you shoot or pay Royce?
When you meet Royce and his group of thugs, you will be given multiple dialogue options, but each conducts the same interaction. You will be shown the following two options, but you will have to choose one.
- [Take out the Weapon]
- [Take down Royce] Requires six Constitution points
Regardless of the option you choose, then you will have to make the big decision of pay o shoot to Royce. The lack of points in the Constitution attribute will force you to choose the option 'Draw the Weapon'. From there, you can make three important decisions:
Pay with the Militech chip
By meeting with Meredith Stout, you will get a chip with a virus. The same chip can be given to Royce as payment, but be sure to remove the virus before giving it to Royce. If you don't remove the virus and give it to Royce, his gang will turn hostile and you will have to fight Royce.
In order for the virus to infect them and locate them, Militech will have to ask for a discount and when they give you the option to hit or shoot do nothing, then you can suggest that they accept your offer and they will take the chip to their computer, if instead you pay directly will have it tested for viruses.
If you managed to defeat Royce, you will be rewarded with a cool weapon called Chaos and a Maelstrom jacket and some Eurodollars as a reward.
If you hand him the chip after removing the virus, Royce will be delighted and will tell you to grab the Flat-Goat robot and go. But even before you leave All Foods, the Mititech guards will appear and you will have to fight them too. It should be noted that choosing to pay with the Militech chip will always lead to violence, although the hostile faction changes depending on your decision with the virus.
Shoot Royce
If you haven't received the Militech chip from Meredith Stout, you can get it through another route. When you shoot Royce, the members of his gang will become your enemy and you will have to defeat them. Once you have defeated them, you can loot the pistol Chaos Royce and collect the materials from the other Malestrom bodies before leaving All Foods.
Pay with your own money
This is the easiest option, but you need to have a decent amount of Eurodollars. You can only get the Flathead bot by giving Royce 10,000 Eurodollars. Getting that amount of money is not easy because this mission takes place in the first hours of the game. If you have enough money, pay him and take the Flathead robot and get out of the situation without fighting with anyone
