To get the Must Be Rats achievement in Cyberpunk 2077, perform the Distract Enemies quickhack 30 times without drawing attention to yourself.
Start as early as possible, use stealth, and repeat a safe setup until you reach 30 successful distractions.
You can earn this trophy early by farming Distract Enemies in stealth.
Repeat a simple tutorial or open-world setup until you fill the progress bar.
The achievement uses cyberpunk systems you already encounter in normal play.
Once you know what counts, the process becomes straightforward.
How The Achievement Unlocks
The trophy tracks a specific action, not just generic hacking.
You need 30 successful uses of Distract Enemies, and you must stay hidden while doing it, as PlayStationTrophies.org and XboxAchievements note.
What Counts As Distracting Enemies
Target a valid distraction object, such as a TV, camera, vending machine, or any green-highlighted device in scan mode.
Use the quickhack while you are in stealth and avoid alerting the enemy or breaking cover, or the attempt may not count.
When Progress Starts Tracking
Progress starts after you complete the hacking tutorial and the game recognizes your action as a valid stealth distraction.
According to TrueAchievements, the bar moves only after a full run through the tutorial hacking sequence.
Partial attempts may not count.
Fastest Early-Game Method
The quickest method is to use the hacking tutorial early in the game.
This gives you a controlled environment with almost no risk of failure.
Using The Hacking Tutorial For Quick Progress
During the tutorial, use Distract Enemies on eligible objects while staying hidden.
TrueAchievements notes you can get the achievement within the first hour.
Repeated tutorial runs are faster than searching for other safe spots in the story.
Why Replaying The Tutorial Works
The tutorial setup is predictable, so you do not need to search Night City for targets.
Consistent stealth conditions make it easier to avoid mistakes and stack progress.
Best Open-World Farming Option
You can also farm the achievement at NCPD Hustles in the open world.
Look for isolated enemies, easy cover, and an object you can safely use for distraction.
Using Distract Quickhack At NCPD Hustles
Go to a hustle with a few enemies nearby, stay out of sight, and use Distract Enemies on a valid target.
Community guides, including Chapter Cheats, highlight this as a simple way to repeat the action without advancing far in the story.
How To Repeat The Same Setup Efficiently
Find a spot where you can crouch, scan, and stay far enough away that enemies do not react.
Cycle the hack, wait for the cooldown, and repeat the interaction until the trophy unlocks.
Common Problems And Missed Progress
You might miss progress if you break stealth, use the wrong target, or leave the tutorial too soon.
The achievement can feel finicky, so be patient and avoid rushing the last few uses.
Why The Trophy May Not Pop Right Away
The counter may not advance after every use.
Some players need repeated complete tutorial runs before the bar moves.
If you stop early, you may need to earn the missing progress later in normal play, as TrueAchievements warns.
Mistakes To Avoid Before Leaving The Tutorial
Stay in the tutorial until you feel satisfied with your progress.
If you leave too early, you may lose the easiest farming opportunity. You will then need to find a new stealth setup in Cyberpunk 2077 with V, which takes longer and can be more annoying.
