The simplest way to play the Phantom Liberty DLC is tostart a new gameand then selectSkip Ahead to Phantom Liberty. Indeed, this option will give players immediate access to the DLC’s first mission, Dog Eat Dog, and they will even receive a brief summary of the events that they have skipped fromJohnny Silverhandhimself.
Additionally, players that pursue this option will start with a Level 15 character that has access to a variety of Tier 2 Uncommon Weapons and even someCyberware. This character will also come with their attribute and perk points already allocated, allowing fans to get into the action without any delay. That said, players that prefer to create their own build can reset the character’s attributes and refund their perk points as soon as they load into the game.
The other way to start Phantom Liberty is to play through the base game until theTransmission missionhas been completed. ThisAct 2mission marks the conclusion of a player’s business with the Voodoo Boys, and players that ignore the game’s vast optional content and rush its main story should be able to reach that point in around11 hours of gameplay.
