How to Get Death and Taxes
Pre-requisites
- Mission: “Ex-Factor”
The “Death and Taxes” pistol in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty can be obtained during the side quest called “Ex-Factor.” To unlock this quest, you need to progress sufficiently in the main story and save Evelyn Parker. After listening to two BDs extracted from her, you’ll receive a quest called “M’ap Tann Pèlen,” which requires you to call Mr. Hands. Once you’ve done that, Judy will call you, and a new side quest line will start. You’ll need to complete a few missions before “Ex-Factor” becomes available.
During the “Ex-Factor” quest, head to Maiko’s Office and look for the pistol on the table close to the door where you enter. If you miss it during this quest, you can later find it in Judy’s apartment.
