In the video game Cyberpunk 2077, players may encounter a bug during the I Fought the Law side job that prevents them from exiting the braindance sequence. This bug can be frustrating as it hinders progress in the game. To address this issue, players have suggested loading a previous save file before the braindance sequence and ensuring that all dialogue is completed before exiting. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid fast travelling before the encounter with Tyger Claws to prevent breaking the mission progression. Completing the main quest Life During Wartime is also necessary to initiate the I Fought the Law side job.

What You'll Learn
Completing the 'Life During Wartime' main quest
To complete the Life During Wartime main quest in Cyberpunk 2077, you must first complete the Main Story mission Lightning Breaks. This will unlock the 23rd main story mission, Life During Wartime, which takes place in the Badlands. The quest-giver is Panam, and the objective is to take out the drones and wait for Panam. After shooting down the AV with a rocket launcher, you and Panam race to reach the AV before a squad of Kang Tao corpsec. On the way, several drones will give chase, and you will once again have the chance to use Panam's roof turret. Halfway through the fight, the turret will jam, forcing Panam to turn on the autodrive and fix the turret. Panam will then show up with Aldecaldos reinforcements.
To avoid the mines and being spotted, it is best to sneak in through the roof of the gas station. You can do this by forcing open the garage doors at the front of the station. You can also use your scanner to look out for mines.
After clearing the wreckage, Panam instructs V to use a surveillance drone to identify any remaining Aldecaldo survivors and scan for enemies in the area, including the AV. After scanning the AV, V can exit the drone, and Panam will provide overwatch while V takes out the hostile forces.

Meeting Elizabeth and Jefferson Peralez
In Cyberpunk 2077's "I Fought the Law" side job, players meet Elizabeth and Jefferson Peralez, who want them to investigate the death of Mayor Lucius Rhyne. The Peralezes believe that the official story—that the mayor died of a heart attack at home—is suspicious, given a recent cyberpsycho attack at City Hall. To help the player, they provide a braindance for inspection.
Players meet the Peralezes in Heywood, The Glen, where they are waiting in a car parked on a side road. Elizabeth Peralez initiates the quest by calling the player and asking them to meet her and her husband. During the quest, players will also meet River Ward, a Cyberpunk 2077 romance option.
The braindance provided by the Peralezes can be investigated by first watching it through in playback mode to familiarize oneself with the events and fill up the Visual and Audio track timelines with bold sections. There are four bold sections in the Visual Layer and two in the Audio Layer to scan for clues. The first audio clue, at around 0:10, is a conversation between the mayor and the deputy mayor in the hallway outside the conference room. The final audio clue is a tune hummed by the cyberpsycho, which can be heard at around 1:00 as they pass through a metal detector. After finding these clues, players can exit the braindance and continue with the side job.

Fixing the BrainDance Effect glitch
The "I Fought the Law" side job in Cyberpunk 2077 involves investigating the death of Mayor Lucius Rhyne, which may have been caused by a Cyberpsycho attack. During this mission, players can encounter a bug that prevents them from exiting the braindance sequence. This bug can cause persistent visual and audio effects that hinder gameplay.
To fix the BrainDance Effect glitch, players can try the following methods:
- Loading a previous save before the braindance: This solution involves reloading an autosave or a manual save from before the braindance sequence and trying again. Ensure that all dialogue is completed and wait for all talking to stop before exiting.
- Drinking alcohol in-game: Some players have reported that drinking alcohol during gameplay resets some persistent visual and audio effects caused by the glitch.
- Fast travelling: In the past, fast travelling before the encounter with Tyger Claws used to break progression in the "I Fought the Law" mission. However, this issue has been resolved with a patch, so fast travelling may be an option to bypass the bug.
It is important to note that these solutions may not work for all players, and some may need to wait for an official patch or update from the developers to fully resolve the BrainDance Effect glitch.
