How to Unlock the Secret (Don't Fear) The Reaper Ending in Cyberpunk 2077

To unlock the secret (Don't Fear) The Reaper ending, you need to make the correct dialogue choices during the Chippin' In side job while talking to Johnny at the Oil Fields (at his grave).

Choose the following dialogue options:

"Let's do something about that." (When looking at Johnny's grave.)
"The Guy who Saved My Life."
"Nah, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that up too."
"What do you want from me?"
"OK. But as second chances go, this is your last."
"You were a real ♥♥♥♥ in the beginning."
"When you said you let down your friends..."
"Smasher biz really got to her."
"Yeah. I'll call Rogue."

Later, during Nocturne Op55N1, you'll be on Misty's rooftop deciding how to attack Arasaka Tower.

When the ending choices appear, don't select anything. Simply wait for about 5 minutes.

Johnny will eventually suggest attacking Arasaka Tower alone. Choose:

"Let's hear this plan."
"Means goin' out with a bang - I like it."

This will start the secret (Don't Fear) The Reaper ending, where you storm Arasaka Tower solo.

Many guides say you need to wait about 5 minutes on Misty's rooftop before Johnny offers the secret ending. While that's close, it's not the exact timing.

The actual wait is 5 minutes and 8 seconds—the exact length of Blue Öyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", the song that inspired the name of the secret ending. It's a neat Easter egg from CD Projekt Red: if you start the song when the choice appears, Johnny will speak up almost exactly as it ends.
