The “evidence” for reported crimes are often data shards on a laptop or sometimes in a purse or even on a person. You’ll know that you haven’t picked it up if you’re still in the area and have the task on the right side of your screen. Many of them require you to also pick up evidence to “finish” the job. However, that’s not always the only thing you need to do for a reported crime. If you’re taking on an Assault in Progress or other NCPD reported crime task, you’ll end up taking out several enemies with bounties on their head. If you’re taking out a crime boss, for example, they’ll be worth a lot. The money an individual is worth and the Street Cred you can get from subduing them (you can see the street cred you’ll get in green text next to the “SC” label in the scanner) varies based on the enemy.

Individuals aren’t usually worth a whole lot and you’ll have to subdue more than one target more often than not. However, is it worth collecting a random bounty? Usually not. You can tell if you’re in combat if your mini-map has a red border and says “combat” along the bottom of the mini-map.

Instead, it’ll show all those pop-ups after you’ve gotten out of combat. When you’re in combat Cyberpunk won’t show any new XP or money gained during a fight. However, if you subdue your chosen target and don’t see a money pop-up on the left side of the screen it might be because you’re still in combat.

All you need to do to “collect” that bounty is simply subdue the enemy. But when she learns that her mother has passed away, she returns to Night City to take care of her affairs, a choice that throws her into a morass of conspiracies, differing loyalties and old secrets dredged up from the depths - and all of this under the looming shadow of her very famous half-brother, a man whose actions will change Night City, and perhaps even set it ablaze.One of the earlier things you’ll learn in Cyberpunk is that with V’s improved scanner, you can see who in Night City has a bounty on them. These formative years led her to become an edgerunner and strike out on her own, taking her to the murky merc scene of Atlanta, Georgia. Valerie Gonzalez grew up on the streets of Heywood.
