Deciding whether or not to give Brigitte access to the chip in Cyberpunk 2077 is a bit of a pseudo-choice, really. This takes place during the I Walk The Line mission and while it seems like a binary option where declining will let you explore a different path, all this actually does is delay the inevitable. To progress in Cyberpunk 2077, you must give Brigitte access to the chip, but you can say no and bide your time, exploring the rest of the map and ticking off side quests instead. If you want to know more about this decision, here's our complete guide on what happens during the Cyberpunk 2077 Brigitte choice in I Walk The Line.

Give Brigitte access to the chip or not in I Walk The Line

After returning to Placide and meeting Brigitte when you've dealt with the NetWatch Agent – no matter which option you picked for that part of the mission – you'll have the choice of giving Brigitte access to the chip, or "checking out your other options first". In this case, checking out your other options simply pauses the mission until you come back.

If you select the option to walk away then you'll leave Brigitte, saying you're not that desperate yet. The I Walk The Line mission will be complete and the Transmission objective will start, which is the next mission with Brigitte in the main story. It's basically a way of breaking the mission progress to go do other things, with the main objective to "return to Brigitte to accept her offer." The talk of 'other options' ultimately doesn't go anywhere - you just get the chance to do something else before you accept Brigitte's proposal and head into the crypt with her.

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
