How to unlock the Daemon In The Shell achievement in Cyberpunk 2077 - Definitive Guide

Fast Travel to Pershing Street Once there head to the nearest Drop Point(South west of spawning), look to your right and see a deserted road/alleyway. walk down until you see 3 enemies sitting watching a TV.

I had Level 3 Bloodware Lvl 3 (Quickhacks do 30% more damage) and Signal Support Lvl 2 (Increases quickhack duration by 50%. This will now allow non lethal grenades such as Incendiary and EMP to kill.

Hope this guide helps as most of the enemies outside missions do not carry Frag grenades.

For those who aren't intimately familiar with the map, Pershing St is the Northside segment of the Watson district. Also, on the way to the recommended location, I found 3 enemies leaning against their cars. Detonating one of their grenades also made the cars blow, so all 3 died no problem.

For those looking for Pershing St. fast travel pin, it's in Northside (Watson) near the border with Arasaka Waterfront. If you haven't discovered it yet it'll be a bit northwest of the Northside apartment, halfway to the Clothing store.

I got it today just doing some NCPD missions with Maelstrom mobs. It doesn't matter if you have the CD that makes hacks spread as I did and still got it. I had 3/3 in Bloodware and only 1/2 in Subliminal Message under Quickhacking tab.

Strange, I bought the quickhack at the netrunner store in Pacifica, found three enemies and executed the hack. While only two died and one was incapacitated the achievement did not unlock, tried it a couple of times...

[EDIT] OK, I somehow missed that it has be frag grenades...my bad.

Detonate Grenade is an epic quality (purple) quickhack. I was able to craft it after unlocking the Hacker Overlord perk in the Quickhacking skill tree which requires 16 Intelligence.

After that simply find a group of 3 enemies gathered close enough together to be effected by the blast radius of a grenade. Lower level NCPD events seem to be the most likely to have the ideal circumstances for the achievement.

Edit: Apparently you can farm the group of enemies near the Chapel dataterm in Pacifica in order to get this as a drop. Mentioned in the comments by NoHeroes94 and confirmed by MyDanishReality.

Edit 2: Video is not mine was posted in the comments by J2B9, all credit to the creator.

So I managed to find a legendary version of the quickhack at only Level 10 intelligence but I dont actually know how, I'm assuming from hacking access points so its definitely possible to get it without crafting it.

Also contrary to the achievement description I couldn't get this to work via incapacitating three enemies, I needed to kill them.

@noheroes94 dude you dont have to spam. The reason why its incapacitating them is because they had a non-lethal grenade that you detonated. You need to find a group with frag grenades.

I found the quickhack while datamining for cash. happened in the badlands while doing sidejobs/ncpd hustles. im still going to get my intelligence to that high just because datamines might require it. i am considering stopping intel at 12 and putting those 4 into body bringing my build to 20 body, just because i like the LMG and shotgun, as well as the athletics bonus's.

There's a really easy way to cheese this I don't see mentioned.

Tetratronic Rippler Mk.4 operating system allows Detonate Grenade to jump to another enemy. If you combine that with a build that gives short cooldowns, you can use the hack twice and get 4 grenade explosions which pretty much guarantees at least 3 kills!

You can also buy the quick hack. Remember the woman placed gives the chicken to? She sells netrunner stuff. Also at the chapel point. I was level 50 street cred when I bought it from her though. Only 4500 Eddie's.

Once you have the quickhack, the trio of netrunners just to the southest of the “Chapel” fast travel point in Coastview (Pacifica) are a preem group standing around doing nothing that are 24-hour farmable, too. Cheevo popped first try.

I bought the hack like THOR4205 says above, made a save put some points into grenade damage (engineering) bloodware (quick hack). I then went a very low threat location, knocked out 2 guys, lured the 3rd one in with a distraction and then detonated his grenade next to them.

I recommend trying this on Voodoo gang. I tried on several gangs in other places but it would not kill them. The voodoo members seem to be carrying frag grenades making the kill easier. Other places they seemed to be carrying emp or fire grenades

One thing to consider. You don't have to 1 shot kill them. I did the quickhack, hit 3 enemies. They did not die. Waited until I could do the quickhack again, and since their health was drained below half already, killed them on the second try. *Ding*

For those of you wondering why those particular enemies disappear, I believe it has something to do with the "Walk the Line" mission that @J2B9 mentioned.

**SPOILER**

On my run through that mission, I made some choices that resulted in Brigitte dying and me having to kill Placide (The asshole who tried to have you killed after using you to get to Netwatch). I believed if you took that path, then the only way you can get this quick hack is by crafting it. I'm doing a second playthrough anyway for missed endings and misplaced attribute points anyway, so I plan to knock it out then.

It's unfortunate this long ass game has such easily missable achievements.

I was about 50 hours into game, and decided to do this achievement. Unfortunately first 3 guys weren't there, thankfully I had a save before I did the mission I Walk A Line.
After doing the method shown in the video for about 30 mins, I wasn't getting anywhere. I increased my difficulty to Normal, and reloaded my save. There is a male Netrunner in the area by the sofa. I killed all the enemies and got the drop first time.
I then had to use the quick hack twice to get the achievement on the 3 guys by the stairs.
Hopefully that helps anyone struggling like I was!:)
+1 from me anyway 🦆

I just want to point out that even if you complete the mission Walk The Line and decide to kill The Voodo Boys you still can get the quick hack off the people that the video shows. You just have to farm on the last two, basically what I did was hit the two groups then head to the fast travel point Batty's Hotel to travel to Chapel so they can respond and repeat. I was doing this on easy and it took maybe 10 times, my RNG was not super great.

Also want to mention since its not noted in the guide, not all enemies have grenades. Hell some dont even carry any for you to detonate including at the NCPD Events. So you may be running around a bit

NOTE:
This suits the situation where you sided with Netwatch in the "I Walk The Line" mission, in which you can't easily find Voodoo hacker enemies after the mission.

This method DOES NOT require any intelligence level, you only require a large RAM OS to be bought in any doctors. Currently, in 1.06 the item stack bug still works for "copying" the €$4000 painting.

Fast travel to "Chapel" fast travel point and go upstairs, walk a little bit you will see several tents, turn left in the tent area and go to the end of the road you will see 3 enemies watching TV. They will drop the purple "Detonate Grenade" quick hack.

After that, find any places where 3 of the enemies stack together, don't try it in the police enemies, because normally police do not carry lethal grenades which you can't get the achievement. I suggest finding any voodoo cult gathering places because normally they have more than 5 enemies standing in the stack.

It may be possible to use the "Detonate Grenade" on the 3 enemies stacked in the 2nd screenshot because their position looks like stacking(As I got my achievement from voodoo cult gathering I can't verify this to be working)

Patch 1.6.0.0, on Xbox Series S.
I had a problem with getting this achievement, so I decided to write an advice that helped me.
It's only unlock when I was on fight with enemy.



Act 1 (not important), Watson, Kennedy North fast travel point.

Int on 16, in "Quickhacking" buy
"Bloodware" lvl 3
"Subliminal Message" lvl 2
"Hacker Overlord"
Craft epic hack named "Detonate Grenade", equip it.

Tip for those who need more "RAM". I bought an operating system called "Biotech Σ MK.2", it cost 10'000€$ from Ripperdoc above Kennedy North fast travel

Best place to do this is in the transmission quest. After you come “wake up” from the ice tub you’ll have to leave the area. Immediately after you’ll encounter a door with two guards and two guys coming out. Use breach protocol to lower defenses and then detonate grenade. It should get all four of them and the achievement will pop.

The "Detonate Grenade" quickhack can be bought from a Netrunner vendor in Batty's Hotel (Pacifica, Coastview) for $4500

After the purchase fast travel to Pershing ST (Watson, Northside) then mark the nearest drop point (The one southwest) and walk towards it, once there is 100m left to the drop point look to the left and you will see 3 enemies near 2 cars, scan one of those enemies and use the "Detonate Grenade" quickhack on him (Be sure to have an operating system that has quickhack on it) and then just wait a few seconds and give time for the quickhack to kill those guys.

If you have detonate grenade quick hack and your
difficulty setting is on very hard I recommend you to get this achievement in second conflict mission in this mission you have to rescue Nancy from mealstorm after they take you where Nancy is use your quick hack on the first guy you see take cover behind some crate and then boom grenade explod and 3 or 4 enemies will get killed by quickhack and you will get the achievement.
Sorry for bad English comment below if this guide was useful 😊😊

This one is a tad annoying. The Netrunners don't seem to sell the Detonate Grenade quickhack but if they do for you congrats, you just skipped a tedious step, if not:

In order to craft the Detonate Grenade quickhack you need Level 16 in Intelligence and the Hacker Overlord perk to craft Epic quickhacks.

Then you need quickhack components, once again Netrunners can sell some, they were selling even the Legendary ones on my first playthrough but on my testing playthrough they were not so if you're unlucky, you'll need to loot them. For that buy the Datamine Mastermind perk in the Breach Protocol tree (Intelligence) and go in enemies areas, looking for Access Points. These Access Points are things that you can hack/interact with and when solvingtheir Breach Protocol puzzles, will net you some money and quickhacks components. You can find them in some enemies areas (NCPD gigs), scan the area and look for the red icons that look like an antenna. You can also buy the Head start to automatically upload the first daemon and then focus on the third line when solving the puzzle, this way you'll get lots of components. Once you have all the components required, craft the Detonate Grenade and equip it in the Cyberware menu (Operating System => Mods).

Next, go visit Netrunners and buy the Request Backup quickhack, they should sell this one because it's not an Epic or Legendary one. Equipe it too.

Finally find a group of enemies (NCPD gigs) use the Request Backup quickhack if needed to gather them in the same place and use the Detonate Grenade quickhack on one of them when they're close together. Note that if the enemies are on high levels it will cost you a lot of RAM so do that in Watson as the enemies are lower levels.

I'm currently at level 37 and just got this achievement. The achievement seems to require a frag grenade detonation. I tried multiple times with incendiary grenades, no dice. Also, enemies' grenades seem to be based on faction. I tried with a bunch of Valentinos and all had incendiary grenades.
I did it by going to the Ripperdoc near Pershing Street and Goldsmith Street (Northside, Watson), where there were 5 Maelstrom members pretty close to each other. I used a tier 5 Sonic Shock (tier 4 should also work) on one of them (this prevents you from getting traced), and threw a Recon Grenade (which attracts enemies) near them, then detonated the grenade on the enemy affected by Sonic Shock. I had to do it twice, since the first explosion left them with about 30-35% health (hence the need for Sonic Shock).

There are currently two known ways to obtain the Detonate Grenade quickhack: crafting it, or obtaining it from a random enemy drop. Both methods of obtaining this quickhack are explained before first, followed by a description at the end of where to obtain this achievement.

btaining it from a random drop is a little more difficult only because luck plays a factor in actually getting it. Once you've progressed to The Chapel in Pacifica (you'll go there as part of the story, but can head there whenever you have access), there are three enemies standing outside of it. These enemies (among others in the area) have a chance to drop this quickhack when killed. You can make a manual save and continually kill them and reload if the don't drop the quickhack, until they finally drop it. If you obtain it this way, you may not have enough RAM to be able to use this quickhack on enemies. You will either need to level up the Intelligence attribute (which would also be required for the below method) to have enough RAM, or buy an upgraded Operating System from a Ripperdoc to increase your RAM. The latter option doesn't require any investment in attributes.

To craft it, you must raise your Intelligence to level 16. This option is missable because attribute points cannot be reset. This method is actually a multi-step process, and a bit complex. I will go over each bit, step by step.

The first thing you need to do is obtain uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary quickhack crafting components. These are different than the crafting components you obtain from looting, breaking down items, etc. There are only two ways to obtain quickhack crafting components:
 
  1. The Netrunner vendor shops (one in Watson, one in Westbrook, and one in Pacifica) sell quickhack components. They all will always sell uncommon and rare ones. There is apparently a chance that the Pacifica one will stock epic and legendary ones, but after a dozen or so reloads, skipping time a day, etc., I never saw them stocked.
  2. The only other way to get them is to "jack in" to Access Points. These are most commonly found inside buildings. When scanned, they show up as a red diamond like other things you can hack, but they will be labeled Access Point. Their red diamonds also show up on your minimap, making it easier to spot them. You'll need to walk up to them and press button-x.png to "jack in." Once inside, you'll see the Breach Protocol minigame. On the right, you'll see three tiers of the Datamine daemon. Your goal is to input the four inputs for the third tier (V3) of the daemon, the bottom row. Ignore the top two rows unless you have an operating system that allows more than four inputs. Trace a mental path in your head to make sure you can activate the third tier of the Datamine daemon. Do so, and when you back out you should see a popup on the left saying you obtained uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary components. These are the components you need for crafting.
As you progress in the game, keep an eye out for these Access Points and use them whenever possible. They all require some level of Intelligence. Many in Watson require 3 or 5 Intelligence, but later areas will require more. Thankfully, if you save up enough perk and attribute points (or just build into Technical) such that you can purchase the perk to reduce the cost of crafting, you only need to complete three Access Point hacks with the third tier Datamine daemon to obtain enough epic and legendary components to craft Detonate Grenade.

With that explanation out of the way, you now have the components to craft Detonate Grenade. Note that you can make a manual save before doing any of this to avoid wasting your attribute and/or perk points. Crafting quickhacks works differently than other gear. There are no blueprints (specs) to obtain for them. Instead, you'll need to level up your Intelligence attribute to level 16. This gives you access to the perk that lets you craft epic quickhacks. Unfortunately, Detonate Grenade is only epic or legendary. Buying this perk lets you access the specs for all epic quickhacks. Go into the crafting menu, choose quickhacks, and find Detonate Grenade and craft it. To equip it, go to your cyberware, then to your operating system. Choose Detonate Grenade as one of your quickhacks to apply to your operating system. Obtaining the quickhack this way ensures you will have enough RAM to use it with the default Operating System installed, because leveling up your Intelligence increases your RAM.

Once you've obtained Detonate Grenade by either of the methods listed above, you're finally ready to attempt this achievement. You now need to find three enemies that are close to each other, scan one with lb.png, and then choose the Detonate Grenade option, which will make that enemy's grenade explode. If it kills him and at least two more enemies, this achievement will unlock. This can be done on any group of enemies, and is especially good to do on enemies in neutral territory (non hostile areas) since they are usually standing near each other and talking. It can also be done on a group of NCPD cops together. One other option to get enemies together is to also purchase or craft the Request Backup quickhack. This is an uncommon rarity one, so you can purchase it from any Netrunner vendor, or you can craft it yourself. You can use this on an enemy to bring them together, if they're farther apart. A good spot for three enemies is in front of The Chapel in Pacifica, where the Voodoo Boys hang out. There are three enemies in a little circle at a railing right in front of it.

Once you successfully kill three enemies with Detonate Grenade, you'll finally unlock this annoying achievement.

1. Pump up the character’s intelligence to 16 and unlock the “Coding University” ability.
2. Through the “Creation” menu, craft the “Grenade Explosion” script.
3. We find three (or more) enemies standing nearby and use the “Grenade Explosion” script on one of them.

Version 1.04. It is best to do it in the Watson area, on the bandits from the Maelstrom group. They mostly have regular grenades. Also the condition: find a group in the ABSENCE of cars or other exploding objects; if a car or canister detonates, the trophy is not counted.

Watson. Northside. Arasaki Bund (north)
There will be just three enemies in the nook. We attach the script to the one in the middle, for me he beat up an ordinary resident, and we wait for detonation.

Made it in the Watson area on the Tiger Claws gang the first time. It didn't work in other places.

Please note that enemies must be killed directly by the grenade explosion, in other words, the death of enemies from the grenade effect (burning, poisoning, etc.) will not be counted.

You can buy it from a netrunner near the church and make it not far away on a crowd of dancing enemies.

Possibly a bug, but I got the trophy by very quickly sending the “grenade explosion” script to three enemies. They exploded within a couple of seconds of each other.

The script Explosion Grenade can be knocked out from Woody Netraners in Pacifica. There are several groups near the Chapel, which we visited in the story.

The script is purple, not green, the explosion is like being stunned, it exploded 4 times, nothing happened, I already decided to try it on others and it fell out the 5th time. The trophy is simply buggy.

Taken at any level of the “grenade explosion” script of any color.
The main thing is that the whips stand as tightly as possible.
It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to take them in the open world; they’re scattered.
It fell ideally during a side event, when all your gear is taken away - there are three whips standing close together in the second room.

We do it quickly and easily)
We buy a grenade explosion from this netrunner from Pacifica for 4500 (unless you have a script, of course)



Then we run here to Watson, Northside



We find three garbage men who are grilling kebabs (most likely one will stand on the sidelines, but after a few seconds he will sit on a chair)



We hack what is sitting, and now the achievement is completed

You no longer need to specifically upgrade or unlock any skills; the script (or documentation) can be purchased from any netrunner in the city.
You don’t even have to bother with searching for nearby enemies, let’s make it simpler: send the script “Bait” ​​- “Call reinforcements” - “Grenade explosion”.

For those who don't want to spend points, the script can be farmed in the open world.

We will need the region "Coast" (Pacifica) and the fast travel point "Chapel".
There are several groups of netrunners from which the script we need may drop (well, and a couple more as a gift).
I found three groups and spent 10 minutes farming.

From the fast travel point, you need to climb the stairs, kill three dods standing on the right, then move to the left, where two more groups of the same handsome men are sitting on the roof.
Loot it and see what comes up.

Video guide (ru).

Please note that after the first “circle”, I run away from the first group a little to the right - this is necessary so that the second group, which is closer to you, will spawn again near the containers. If this is not done, then the second group will remain dead carcasses lying around.

Even if Placid was killed and the voodooists do not spawn near the travel point, you can find two groups with netrunners from which the script will drop in the place shown in the video guide (en).
