V had seen plenty of locked doors in Night City, but the one just beyond the entrance of the Longshore Stacks skyscraper in Dogtown made more than a few runners stop in their tracks. It sat inside Gig: Prototype in the Scraper, a job from Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC, and it was easy to miss until the nearby elevator was already humming. The real kicker? Once a player used that elevator to climb into the scraper, there was no coming back down to the locked door. So anyone who wanted the armory loot needed to open it before moving on. The devil was in the details, and V had learned to check every corner before pressing a button.
For those eager to stop beating around the bush, the locked door could be opened by interacting with the wall panel to its left and entering 2045. That four-digit code worked like a skeleton key. The moment the last digit landed, the door slid aside and let V into a compact armory stocked with gear. The screen did not ask for a puzzle or a perk check, just a steady hand on the panel.
The armory beyond the Longshore Stacks Scraper door was not exactly a dragon's hoard, but it offered a solid selection of free weapons. None of them were exclusive to Phantom Liberty, though a merc with empty pockets rarely looks a gift horse in the mouth.
| Weapon | Category |
|---|---|
| DA8 Umbra | Power Assault Rifle |
| Defender | Power Light Machine Gun |
| HJSH-18 Masamune | Power Assault Rifle |
| Kyubi | Power Assault Rifle |
| M251s Ajax | Power Assault Rifle |
The code itself was not hidden behind a gonk-proof riddle. V could learn it by reading a message called 'Goods from the convoy' on a computer terminal near the skyscraper's entrance. The route to that terminal was short, but it paid to keep one eye on the path.
-
Walk away from the entrance to the skyscraper.
-
Take the first right and follow the path until some metal stairs appear.
-
Climb the stairs and look into the shipping container on the right.
Inside that terminal, the message spelled out the 2045 code, saving V from playing guessing games with the security panel. Some players found the armory without ever reading the message, but anyone who wanted to roleplay it straight had a clear trail to follow. A little cyber sleuthing never hurt a runner in Dogtown.
There was one more wrinkle in Gig: Prototype in the Scraper worth remembering. Later in the gig, V would run into another locked door, this time a cell door that needed its own code. That code was not far from the cell itself, and the gig did a decent job of pointing an observant runner toward it. No need to go on a wild goose chase across Dogtown.
For completionists and loot goblins alike, the Longshore Stacks Scraper door was a small detour that could pay off before the elevator ride. The trick was timing. Open the door, grab the weapons, then ride up without a second thought. As of 2026, the same method still works across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S versions of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
