The Forward to Death quest inCyberpunk 2077is a main job that occurs after the events of ‘We Gotta Live Together’ in The Star Path in Act 3. The versatility of the storyline in Cyberpunk 2077 gives you the freedom to choose various endings depending on your choices in the game.
The Star Path is one such ending where you follow along the adventures of the Aldacaldo, the largest Nomad group in the North American region. The Forward to Death mission involves a raid on a Militech construction site in the Badlands Nomad Camp.
How To Start Forward To Death Quest in Cyberpunk 2077
The mission starts as youfollow Panam through the Aldacaldo campto meet Saul. While walking through the camp, you willhear the conversationsbetween different family members getting ready for the raid.
The Forward to Death quest isavailable in the Star path only, so you cannot play this quest if you haven’t completed the requirements for The Star.
Once you meet Saul, the dialogue willstart your briefing for this mission. Saul will give you a Shard to a reconnaissance drone so you canlook at the terrain layout for this mission.
The raid on the Militech construction site hastwo main objectives:
While Saul talks,look around the area with the droneand identify your primary points of interest. This can be completed by scanning each location marker togather more informationabout different parts of the area, such as entry points, buildings, and checkposts.
After you have heard the briefing from Saul and gathered enough information about the area using your reconnaissance drone, you cantake the Shard out to return to the camp. When you return to the camp, Saul and Panam will ask you totell them when you’re ready.
You will get little to no time to re-stock once you have started the mission. So, it is wise togear up before talkingto Saul and Panam again.
How To Follow Saul To The Construction Site
When ready, return to Saul and Panam andinitiate the conversation. It is time toget into the Militech Basiliskand follow Saul through the Badlands toward the Militech construction site. With the surrounding convoy,keep following Saul’s vehicleinto the Militech-protected restricted area towards the entry point.
While you travel across the restricted area, you will be constantly targeted by air strikes and missiles, which can be avoided by looking at their point of impact on the ground.
Once youreach the entry, the Basilisk will malfunction and completely stop moving. Toresume your journey, you mustprotect the Basiliskfrom the incoming drones as Panam tries to repair the vehicle.
Panam willgive you a sniper rifleto fend off the waves of drones as she repairs the Basikisk.Use the gunto target the drones flying around the Basilisk.
When your systems return online, youstart moving towardthe tunnel entrance again. Once the panzer moves, you mustdestroy the barricadesand hostile enemies blocking your way to the objective.
When the panzer is fixed,Bobby will overtake you, trying to target another hostile unit. You will see an explosion in the distance and lose contact with him. Thisdeath is pre-scripted, and you may not change this outcome in any way.
Destroy the barricades ahead towards your left and steadilykeep heading towards your indicated waypoint. After you cross the bridge,head straight for the tunnelentrance in front of you.
When you reach the tunnel entrance, the Basilisk will shut down again, and Panam will ask you tocover the other companionsfighting alongside you.
While you caneliminate the Militech soldiersand drones with your panzer, you must either run through the barricades on the bridge and the main gate to the tunnel entrance oruse the panzer’s weaponsto destroy the structure.
How To Escort Mitch And Carol In Forward To Death Quest
When the panzer breaks down again, you mustget out of the vehicleand eliminate all nearby enemies by taking cover against your surroundings. Once you have eliminated all the enemies, you must nowwait for Mitch and Carolto arrive.
The next set of enemies (eight in total) is mainlylocated around the staircaseto your right near the tunnel entrance.
Once all enemies have been eliminated, you canaccompany Mitch and Carolto the upper level using the stairs on your right. Once Mitch and Carol find a terminal,they will start arming the SERCsystem to drill a hole through Arasaka Tower.
While Mitch and Carol are working, you must nowcover them from incoming enemieswhile they activate the SERC system. Twenty Militech will target the position from ground level. You musteliminate all enemies to proceedwith the quest.
You can easilyspot the Militech vehiclesapproaching in the distance from the window in front of the terminal. You can also use this window totarget the Militech soldiersfrom a distance.
While youclear the initial wave of enemies, you may constantly hear the crewmembers talk about approaching enemy reinforcements. Once the initial wave has been cleared, you mustprepare for the Militech reinforcementsapproaching your position.
As soon as you finish the first wave of enemies, quicklyloot the nearby dead soldiers for supplies.
As the reinforcements attack, you musteliminate thirteen more combatantsto move further down with the quest.

Since Mitch and Carol are still working on the SERC system, there isno other way to complete these objectivesthan holding your position.

Once youeliminate this third wave of enemies, Mitch and Carol can complete their job at the terminal. This will also restore the Basilisk, so must nowregroup with the Aldacaldo forcesto fight further.
Once inside the panzer,follow your waypointback to the main gate at the tunnel entrance. You musteliminate the strike teamsent by the Militech before making your way into the tunnel. This strike team primarilyconsists of drones and missile trucks.

To get through this stretch of the mission, you musteliminate eleven Militech strike teamunits in total. Once you have dealt with the strike team, it is finally time to enter the tunnels to complete this mission.Get back to the construction siteand ram the panzer through the tunnel entrance to enter the tunnels.
Before you ram into the tunnel entrance, you will also beoffered to join the Panzerboy Ranksin the Aldacaldo.
