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.
1 / 8
What does the Night City 2045 database cover right now?
It covers structured district, faction, and linked location records from the shared entity backend. It also exposes status, source basis, checked dates, and mechanics coverage so users can see what is confirmed, partial, reported, or calculator-ready.
Is the Night City 2045 database the same as the interactive map?
No. It is the structured browse layer for names, filters, status labels, and entity relationships. The interactive map is the faster route when your question is mainly spatial, such as where a district or location sits in the city.
Should I start with districts, factions, or locations?
Start with districts for orientation, factions for power structure, and locations when you already know what kind of place you want. If you are unsure, use the search field first, then follow the strongest matching entity page.
How should a GM use the Night City 2045 database during live play?
Use it as a fast lookup tool: search the name, filter by entity type if needed, check status and source labels, then open the linked detail page. If the question becomes spatial, move to the map. If the question becomes mechanical, use mechanics-only and open the calculator.
Does the database invent missing mechanics?
No. Missing security codes and utility codes are shown as missing rather than inferred. The database can still help a GM improvise, but it separates published mechanics coverage from editorial or table-level decisions.
What should I search first in the Night City 2045 database?
Search the Night City 2045 database by the clue you already have: district name, faction name, location name, source status, or mechanics need. If you only know the type of scene, start with locations. If you know who applies pressure, start with factions. If you need area context, start with districts.
Can the Night City 2045 database help during a live Cyberpunk RED session?
Yes. The Night City 2045 database is designed for fast table lookup: search the entity, scan status and source labels, open the linked detail page, then move to the map or calculator only if the next question is spatial or mechanical.
How is the Night City 2045 database different from a lore article?
A lore article explains one topic in sequence. The Night City 2045 database is an entity index for routing: it connects districts, factions, locations, map context, source confidence, and mechanics coverage so users can jump to the page that answers the next table question.
