Players can easily visit these memorials, and pay their respects to theCyberpunk: Edgerunnerscrew. This wouldn’t be the first Edgerunners easter egg to feature inCyberpunk 2077, but it is by far the most concrete and emotional, especially when one remembers the shared fate of all but two members of the Edgerunners crew.
Located in the southern hills of North Oak, players can find the Columbarium in the Westbrook District. Players can either drive there, focusing on the far right of the map, or fast travel there from a Fast Travel Dataterm. There is a police patrol at the Columbarium, so it’s best not to draw any unwanted attention, especially in a place dedicated to paying respects to the dead.
Inside the Columbarium, players can find many funerary urns, containing the cremated remains of the dead. There are many different plaques that players can visit throughoutCyberpunk 2077, fromall sorts of characters, yet the biggest points of interest will be the Edgerunners crew, which have received their honorable memorials from Lucy, the survivor of the Edgerunners crew.
Rebecca Memorial
Staying the path in the middle of the Columbarium, players will first find Rebecca’s memorial. Players will note this memorial for not only the distinct Edgerunner logo but also the fact that Rebecca’s holographic stand features her headpiece and shotguns. It’s also worth noting that one of these shotguns, Guts, can actually be found inCyberpunk 2077to further pay homage to this character.

On the memorial itself, it reads “I regret not finishing our conversation.” As players may know, the fate of Rebecca was a tragic one, as she was crushed and killed by none other than Adam Smasher. This gives players even more of an incentive to killArasaka’s big bad lapdog.
Pilar, Dorio, Maine Memorial
Just to the left of Rebecca’s memorial, players can find one dedicated to the trio of Edgerunners who died prior to the events of Arasaka Tower, years ago. This memorial is dedicated to Pilar, Dorio, and Maine, the main trio of characters that brought David Martinez into their group, and to whom Lucy saw as family, as noted by the memorial plaque reading “You were the only family I ever had.”
Pilar was killed rather early on after he was caught unprepared after taunting what turned out to be a cyberpsycho who shot him in the head from close range, effectively eradicating Pilar’s skull due to the use of a Projectile Launch System. Dorio was the partner of Maine, and died after trying to help her lover out of his Cyberpsychosis, where she was shot multiple times by the NCPD and Trauma Team. Lastly, Maine, who died with Dorio after obliterating himself in a fiery explosion to take his own life, the remains of Dorio, and the MaxTac team that arrived todeal with the new Cyberpsycho threat.
Kiwi Memorial
Separated from the Edgerunners crew, players will find a memorial for Kiwi, an important Netrunner to the crew, but one who had divided allegiances. Kiwi’s memorial reads “You taught me to never trust anyone in NC.”, which stays true to her character, considering she betrayed the Edgerunners and then later herself by working with Faraday against her crew.
Kiwi is one of the dominos that caused the Edgerunners crew to fall, and it’s nice to see Lucy remember her, and even respect her enough to give her a memorial, yet she is notably separated from her crew and can be found to the right of the Columbarium.
David Martinez Memorial
The central protagonist ofCyberpunk: Edgerunners, David Martinez may have started out as a troubled kid, but he quickly became a Night City Legend.David is remembered fondlyby The Afterlife, with a drink dedicated to his name. David and Lucy were in love and remained together up until his death. Their promise of going to the Moon together was sadly not one that he could fulfill due to his Cyberpsychosis, and the unstoppable Adam Smasher.

David’s memorial can be found towards the back of the Columbarium to the right. The plaque reads “You didn’t take me to the moon, but you were there with me.” It’s heartbreaking that years after David’s death, Lucy hasn’t moved on. David’s holographic image also has the Edgerunners graffiti, along with the Sandevistan that caused so much trouble. David’s memorial is a harsh reminder of what Night City can do to people, and that sometimes it’s not always worth reaching the top, alesson that V could learn before it’s too late.
Gloria Martinez Memorial
Lastly, and just below David’s memorial, is that of Gloria Martinez. Gloria was not a part of the Edgerunners crew, and she was David’s mother. Her plaque reads “You were right. David reached the top of Arasaka Tower.” This is in reference to the show, in which David quite literally reached the top of Arasaka Tower, but not in the way his mother intended, asa high-up corpo big shot.
Gloria’s dreams for David and herself were taken when she was murdered as the result of a gang war. Gloria was an Emergency Medical Technician who tried her best to provide for her son, but sadly, Night City gives no sympathy to the living or the dead. The fact that Lucy gave her a memorial shows how deeply she cared.
Cyberpunk 2077:Phantom Libertyis out now on September 26 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
