The most effective way to make money in Cyberpunk 2077 is just to complete missions. Main and side missions will earn well, as will all the gigs that are given to you by fixers throughout each region. Helping the NCPD stop crime and take down gangs will net you a bit extra too. While glitches and exploits come and go, just getting paid for work is the most dependable way to get eurodollars.

To boost your earnings, however, make sure you're looting absolutely everything as you too. Spam the pickup button with everything possible, then sort through your inventory when you're near a vendor and can sell it. If you find yourself not using your consumables – a lot of the food and drink options are reskinned versions of the same thing – you can sell them too. And make sure you're checking the value of the junk you pick up too, because you'll probably find a few that are seriously valuable.

So, if you're finding yourself short of cash, slow down the main story and rack up some side missions and gigs for the paycheck. Also make sure you're looting everything, selling the weapons and gear you don't use and before long you'll be able to afford whatever you want.
