One of Cyberpunk 2077's numerous side missions is Kold Mirage. That's the one where you look into a strange set of coordinates and discover the cyberdeck of a fabled netrunner, which then tries to fry Nix, your neighborhood hackerman. There are two methods to rescue him, but it's possible that the strain will make them even more difficult to discern. This Cyberpunk 2077 Kold Mirage guide can assist you in rescuing Nix if you're stuck on this mission.

The location indicated by the GPS will lead you to the same dump from where Dex shot you in the face and where you awoke. There's a fridge there with a dead hacker in it, but it's not just any hacker. It's an old-school legendary netrunner, and you may take his cyberdeck. It's good to have closure like that. You can also locate Dex's corpse and get the handgun that shot you in the face.

Find a means to preserve Cyberpunk Nix.

Against everyone's better judgment, Nix will decide to give the deck a try after you present it to him. Of course, that's when things go awry and the deck begins to cook him. There are two things you can do at this point:

• Jack into the computer next to his chair and complete the breach protocol puzzle. You’ll save both Nix and the deck.
• Use the circuit breaker on the wall to the left to cut the power, saving Nix but destroying the deck. You might need to scan the wall first, in order to reveal it.

In any case, Nix will give you a ton of quickhacks as payment for saving his life. While having one is good, the most of them are really rudimentary and hardly what you would anticipate as payment for saving someone's life.
