I've noticed, while wandering around Night City, that random street gangs can be seen here and there, in the corners and shadows. Naturally, it's possible to engage in combat with them, even though they don't appear to be related to any main mission, side gig, NCPD task or any other kind of goal.

I was wondering, though, if there are any benefits of fighting such characters (aside from being able to loot their weapons after defeating them). For instance, could I gradually earn more attributes, perks, money or street cred?

Or would fighting those particular random goons lead to nothing beyond the fight itself?

Let's see...I think that would be a yes, yes, and a no. :)

Yes, there are benefits. And yes, you are earning XP and SC for fighting any goon / street gang member (that is actually a well known grind strategy). Plus money from loot and sale of looted weapons.

And no, there is nothing to it apart from the fight itself. Those random (which aren't really random, as they respawn after a day) encounters does not affect the story in any way. They're just there as added immersion.

But some of the spawn locations change as you progress through the main story of the game.

Hope that answered your question. :)

Thanks for the insight. Good to know.
Did you get your question answered, or was there anything else?
Would be great if you could mark the thread as solved if you did.
