All NCPD Scanner Hustles Locations in Cyberpunk 2077
NCPD Scanner Hustles are one of the most reliable ways to earn eddies, street cred, and gear in Cyberpunk 2077, and Night City is packed with them. This guide uses the Cyberpunk 2077 Interactive Map to show every NCPD Scanner Hustle location across the city, so you can see exactly where they are and clear each district efficiently.
These activities focus on short, self-contained encounters tied to Night City’s crime system. You’ll deal with active assaults, investigate reported crimes, and take down organized criminal groups. By following the map, you can plan clean routes, avoid backtracking, and finish all Scanner Hustles without missing any along the way.
What Are NCPD Scanner Hustles
NCPD Scanner Hustles are marked police activities that trigger when you get close. They usually involve gang members committing crimes, stashes guarded by enemies, or crime scenes that escalate into combat.
You’ll encounter:
- Assaults in Progress
- Reported Crimes
- Organized Crime Activities
- Evidence pickups and loot caches
Completing them rewards eddies, XP, street cred, and often shards that add extra lore or context to the situation.
Locations Across Night City
NCPD Scanner Hustles are spread across every district in Night City. Some areas have dense clusters, while others space them out between gigs and side jobs. Clearing them naturally pushes you through parts of the city you might otherwise ignore.
High-Density Districts
Areas like Watson and Westbrook are packed with Scanner Hustles early on. These are great for:
- Early street cred farming
- Weapon and cyberware upgrades
- Learning enemy behavior before harder gigs
Because many of these hustles are close together, they’re ideal for clearing in short bursts.
Mid to Late Game Areas
Districts such as Santo Domingo, Pacifica, and the Badlands feature fewer but tougher encounters. Enemies scale harder here, and Organized Crime Activities become more common. These locations tend to reward better loot and feel more like mini-encounters than quick skirmishes.
