Cyberpunk 2077 is packed with hidden details that reference iconic movies, games, memes, and pop culture moments. Many of these Easter eggs are placed quietly in the world, waiting for players who explore beyond the main missions. This guide covers 10 of the best Easter eggs, including what they mean, why they’re in the game, and how to find them with simple map directions.
1. Mad Max: Fury Road Easter Egg
This is a tribute to Mad Max: Fury Road, a movie set in a desert wasteland controlled by raider gangs. In the film, characters like Immortan Joe, Max, and Furiosa travel in heavily armored fuel trucks called War Rigs. The scene in Cyberpunk recreates this post-apocalyptic style and even includes dialogue referencing a wounded Max and pregnant survivors, showing CDPR’s admiration for the film’s world-building.
Where to Find
- Region: Badlands – Biotechnica
- Closest Fast Travel: Protein Farm
2. Fallout – Vault 101 LARPers
This Easter egg references Fallout 3, where the player begins in Vault 101. In Cyberpunk, you find a metal hatch labeled “101” surrounded by bodies. A shard reveals they were LARPing (roleplaying) as Fallout survivors escaping their vault into a wasteland. It’s both darkly funny and a clever nod to Fallout’s post-nuclear theme.

3. GTA San Andreas – “Follow the damn train, CJ!”
This references the legendary meme mission from GTA San Andreas, where Big Smoke famously yells:

4. Demolition Man – The Three Seashells
In the movie Demolition Man, the futuristic society no longer uses toilet paper. Instead, there are three seashells, and it’s never explained how. Cyberpunk places these exact seashells in V’s bathroom, referencing the same joke. It’s a funny nod to retro sci-fi culture.
