Night City 2045 database
The Night City 2045 database is a searchable Cyberpunk RED index for districts, factions, locations, map routes, source status, and published mechanics coverage. Use it when you need a fast table answer, a prep-safe entity list, or a clear path from a place to the power groups and rules hooks connected to it.
6th Street
A deputized community-protector force in 2045 that already shows the corruption and drift later normalized in 2077.
Afterlife
The 2045 Afterlife sits in Upper Marina before later moving north into Watson by 2077.
Atlantis
A Downtown nightlife seed used to connect city-core venue lookups with current mechanics coverage.
Danger Gal
A security and investigations-oriented organization included as a canonical provider-type seed for 2045 faction taxonomy.
Downtown
Downtown remains a practical routing node for city-core nightlife, civic rebuild, and medical-infrastructure references.
Kabuki
Kabuki works as a street-level market and neighborhood power layer closely tied to Watson's broader political fabric.
Kabuki Market
A district-defining market seed used to connect Kabuki's neighborhood identity to faction and map workflows.
Lazarus Group
A high-end security-provider seed used to represent corporate-response muscle in the current faction backend.
Maelstrom
A cyberware-heavy gang presence used here as a Watson pressure signal and location relationship anchor.
Night City Medical Center
A city-core medical infrastructure seed with high reported security pressure.
North Heywood
North Heywood is one of the clearest 2045 anchors for 6th Street's quasi-legitimate protector role before that identity fully corrodes.
Pacifica Playground
An operating tourism and entertainment district in 2045 that later becomes one of the strongest contrast points with 2077 Pacifica.
Santo Domingo
Santo Domingo remains a useful routing node for industrial and neighborhood power questions, especially when 6th Street comparisons matter.
Totentanz
A violence-heavy nightlife seed linked to Maelstrom pressure in Watson.
Tyger Claws
A faction embedded in Watson and Kabuki's Japanese community power structure during 2045, before becoming an overt hegemon in later years.
Upper Marina
Upper Marina is one of the key island-side districts for tracking nightlife and the 2045 location of the Afterlife.
Voodoo Boys
One player in Pacifica Playground's 2045 cold war, long before the faction becomes the defining force of western Pacifica in 2077.
Watson
A booming redevelopment zone whose 2045 rise contrasts sharply with the poorer, gang-heavy Watson of 2077.
Database Field Manual
How to use the Night City 2045 database
Your ultimate search terminal for Cyberpunk RED. Find exactly what you need—from confirmed districts and hidden locations to ruthless factions and GM mechanics—so you can prep your gigs and run your table without breaking a sweat.
Quick Definition
What is the Night City 2045 database?
The Night City 2045 database is your central hub for surviving the Time of the Red. We've compiled districts, factions, locations, source-basis labels, checked dates, and mechanics coverage so you can search the city instantly, instead of reading a whole sourcebook just to find one detail.
If you're a GM planning a gig, use this database to move from a vague idea to a lethal scene. Start with a district, scout the linked locations, identify the local faction pressure, and see if there are any published security or utility hooks waiting for your crew. Mid-session? Just search a name, apply a filter, open the entry, and keep the table moving.
This isn't a long-winded lore dump. It's built for speed, comparison, and action. Need to know what's confirmed canon, what's a partial rumor, or what page to check next? Need to know if you should pull up the interactive map or the security calculator? The answers are right here.
- Search by district, faction, location, status, source basis, or mechanics clue.
- Use status pills to separate confirmed, partial, and reported records.
- Open entity pages when you need the full district, faction, or location context.
- Move to the map when the next question is spatial instead of textual.
Search Intent
When should you start with the Night City 2045 database?
Hit the Night City 2045 database the second you have a name. Whether it's Watson, Kabuki, the Afterlife, the Tyger Claws, Danger Gal, or a specific security provider, the database gives you the fastest route to all connected intel.
If your goal is different, take another path. Just need the book? Check the PDF guide. Need a route across town? The interactive map is faster. Trying to understand the timeline? The 2045 vs 2077 guide has your back. But when you need hard intel on the people, places, and power players of the city, this database is your starting point.
We don't waste your time with filler text when you're looking for hard facts. You get search bars, filters, result counts, status labels, source citations, and direct links right at the top. The tools are front and center, ready for action.
- Use database first when the query includes a name, place, group, or status.
- Use map first when the query asks where something is or how areas connect.
- Use PDF guide first when the query is about buying or release formats.
- Use comparison guide first when the query is really about 2045 vs 2077.
Entity Coverage
What entities does the Night City 2045 database organize?
We track the three pillars of the city: districts, factions, and locations. District records give you the lay of the land—current status, verification dates, and major scene anchors. Faction records reveal who's applying the pressure—gangs, security providers, and corporate networks. Location records give you the exact details for where the bullets will fly.
Running a game means juggling all three. A district search tells you where the job happens. A faction search tells you who will try to stop the crew. A location search tells you where they can hide, buy gear, or get patched up. We link them all together because in Night City, geography and power are always connected.
Got a partial memory? No problem. Maybe you remember a gang but not their turf, or a district but not its hotspots. New to the Time of the Red and only know Cyberpunk 2077 names? Our search and filters help you piece the puzzle together without needing to be an expert first.
- Districts answer where the area sits and what linked entries matter.
- Factions answer who applies pressure and what type of power they represent.
- Locations answer where a scene can happen and what mechanics might appear.
- Source labels answer how confidently the database currently treats the record.
Filters
How should GMs filter the Night City 2045 database?
Filter by the problem in front of you. Prepping the map? Filter by districts. Stacking the opposition? Filter by factions. Designing the shootout? Filter by locations. Need a rule right now? Turn on 'mechanics-only' to find entries with ready-to-use security codes and utility codes.
Status filters tell you how much you can trust the intel. 'Confirmed' entries are rock-solid canon. 'Partial' entries are useful but incomplete. 'Reported' entries are street rumors—great for adventure hooks, but not hard facts. We don't hide uncertainty, because bad intel gets edgerunners killed.
Source filters let you audit the data. Official releases, public previews, community reports, and editorial inferences aren't treated the same. You can absolutely build a gig around an inferred record, but as a GM, you need to know exactly where the info came from. We put the source right next to the entry.
- Use type filters when choosing between district, faction, and location records.
- Use status filters when accuracy matters more than breadth.
- Use source filters when you need to know why a record appears.
- Use mechanics-only when live play needs security or utility support.
Database vs Map
Night City 2045 database vs interactive map: which should you use?
Use the database when you need the hard data. If you need to know which factions control an area, what locations are linked, the source status of a rumor, or if a place has mechanics coverage, the database is your best friend. It's built for rapid scanning and pulling up exact records.
Use the interactive map when you need to visualize the sprawl. If you're planning an escape route, seeing how districts bleed into each other, or figuring out if a rival gang is too close for comfort, the map is your tool. The map handles the space; the database handles the facts.
The best GMs use both. Find your target in the database, locate it on the map to understand the neighborhood, then jump back to the entity page for the faction threats and security codes. It's the ultimate prep loop.
- Database: best for names, filters, records, status, and internal links.
- Map: best for placement, route planning, proximity, and spatial context.
- Detail pages: best for the complete record after the hub finds the entity.
- Calculator: best after a location or obstacle creates a rules question.
Examples
Example lookups in the Night City 2045 database
Player asks where to grab a drink? Search locations and filter for bars, clubs, or markets. Click the match, check the district, and see which faction runs the joint. Instantly, you've turned a random question into a fully fleshed-out scene with local flavor and built-in tension.
Need enemies for the next gig? Filter factions and look for gangs, security providers, or corp networks. Check their territory, then jump to the linked districts or locations. Now your opposition feels like a real part of the city, not just random stats thrown on the table.
Need a ruling fast? Hit the 'mechanics-only' filter. If a location has a security or utility code, you can jump straight into the calculator workflow. If there's no code listed, we don't fake it—you know exactly when to rely on the rules and when to improvise.
- Social scene: search locations, then follow district and faction links.
- Opposition: filter factions, then check territory and pressure.
- Ruling: use mechanics-only, then open the calculator if a code exists.
- Uncertain record: read the status and source labels before making a hard call.
Internal Links
How does the Night City 2045 database prevent orphan pages?
A database is useless if it leads nowhere. Every entry here connects outward—to districts, factions, locations, the interactive map, and the GM mechanics tools. It's a massive, interconnected web of intel that keeps you moving and helps search engines understand the structure of the site.
The cluster cards give you broad categories. The result cards take you straight to the target. The browse aids jump straight into common needs—like finding map routes, housing, medical clinics, or nightlife. No matter how you landed here, you're always one click away from what you need next.
This isn't just about keywords. It's about giving you the full picture. By linking districts, factions, locations, maps, and mechanics, we give you the ultimate toolkit for running Cyberpunk RED.
- Cluster links route users to major hub pages.
- Result links route users to specific entity records.
- Browse aid links route users by common play intent.
- FAQ links and guide copy clarify when another page is the better answer.
Trust
How does the database handle incomplete information?
Most wikis pretend every page is 100% accurate. We don't. We show you the status, the source basis, the checked dates, and the mechanics coverage. If a record is sparse, we don't pad it. If a code is missing, we don't guess. We don't elevate street rumors to confirmed canon.
As a GM, you build your sessions around this intel. If something is uncertain, you need to know. Visible uncertainty isn't a flaw—it's a feature that lets you prep with confidence instead of getting burned by bad info mid-game.
The same goes for the rules. If the database has an official security or utility value, use the calculator. If it doesn't, you're free to make the call. We give you the facts, so you can run your game your way.
- Confirmed means safer for direct reference.
- Partial means useful but incomplete.
- Reported means discovery-oriented and worth checking.
- Missing mechanics means no published code is currently displayed.
