Trauma Team is a private emergency squad in Night City. If you pay for their service, they’ll save you — fast and with guns out. They’re basically armed medics who shoot first and treat later. If you don’t have a contract — they’ll leave you to die.

MaxTac is an elite police unit in Night City. They respond only to cyberpsychos — extremely dangerous individuals who lose control because of too much cyberware. When MaxTac arrives, the situation is serious. They move fast, hit hard, and end the threat with no negotiation.

Residents of Night City come from every corner of the world, forming a chaotic mix of cultures, languages, and lifestyles. The city attracts dreamers, mercenaries, corpo workers, artists, outcasts, and people running from their past. Some chase wealth and fame, others simply try to survive day to day.

Life in Night City is fast, dangerous, and unpredictable. Many residents live in cramped megabuildings, relying on cheap cyberware, side gigs, and street markets. Others work for powerful corporations, enjoying luxury at the cost of their freedom and privacy. Between these extremes lie countless hustlers, fixers, ripperdocs, netrunners, and street vendors who keep the city alive.

Scavengers, often called "Scavs," are a ruthless and disorganized group of criminals in Night City. Unlike structured gangs, Scavs operate in small, chaotic packs driven mostly by profit and survival. Their main source of income is the kidnapping and harvesting of cyberware from unwilling victims - often tearing implants out without proper tools or anesthesia. They hide in abandoned buildings, ruined districts, and makeshift hideouts filled with stolen tech and junk.

Scavengers have no code, no honor, and no loyalty. They attack the weak, avoid direct fights with stronger gangs, and vanish into the cracks of the city. Their brutality and unpredictability make them one of the most terrifying threats for everyday people in Night City.

Maelstrom is one of the most violent and chaotic gangs in Night City. They embrace extreme body modification, replacing flesh with chrome to the point of looking almost inhuman. Many members suffer from cyberpsychosis or sit dangerously close to it. Their aesthetic is dark, disturbing, and heavily mechanical. Maelstrom controls the All Foods plant and parts of Watson, running illegal tech markets, kidnappings, drug labs, and cyberware black markets. Their unpredictability and love for cruelty make them one of the most feared gangs in the city.

Arasaka is a massive Japanese megacorporation specializing in corporate security, advanced weaponry, intelligence services, and high-end technology. It is known for its strict hierarchy, secrecy, and deep cultural traditions. Arasaka wields enormous influence across governments and global markets, often operating from the shadows. Feared and respected, the corporation is infamous for its powerful security forces and its relentless pursuit of control, prestige, and vengeance.

Militech is one of the largest and most powerful military-technology corporations in the Cyberpunk universe. It manufactures weapons, armored vehicles, drones, cybernetic equipment, and provides private military forces.

A city that doesn't sleep at night. The light of neon here battles the darkness of the streets, and life - with cyber implants and corporate greed. Night City is not just a place on the map, it is a world within a world where everything is bought: flesh, mind, freedom. Someone is trying to survive. Someone - to rule. And someone - to burn everything to hell.

Due to the increased crime rate in this city, the risk of dying is growing every day, earn money and buy equipment with ammo. The harder the job, the more you pay.

And of course, let's not forget that Night City is a city of opportunities. In this city, you can become anyone. From scavengers, mercenaries and technicians, to netrunners, reapers and even corporations.
