Cyberpunk 2077's "Free Brick" objective appears in the Act 1 mission "The Pickup." Freeing Brick is a tricky optional objective in the mission with multiple steps. Here's how to complete the mission while successfully freeing Brick.

Cyberpunk 2077 Free Brick: How to Free Brick

To free Brick in "The Pickup," you'll first have to have helped him survive. If he has survived, he'll be held captive in a room in the first area when you're escaping from All Foods. Approaching the door will trigger the objective to free Brick.

To get the door open, turn on scanner mode and turn to the terminal on the left of the door. Select Remote Deactivation and the door will open. This requires two slots of Cyberdeck RAM.

Once the door's open, Brick will still be trapped by a mine. You can free him by disarming the mine itself or the detonator. To disarm the mine, you'll need to have enough points in Technical Ability, but can do so by simply highlighting the mine and pressing a single button.

To find the detonator instead, leave the room and go through the door on your left. The detonator is sitting on some cabinets in that room. The detonator will let you disarm or set off the charge.

When Brick is finally free, talk to him, then finish the mission.
