SHED SKIN | The Snake Nation burned years ago. You were sure no one else made it out.

Then his face appeared on every screen in Night City. A masked netrunner in a blue jacket, declaring war on Arasaka, with your clan's stitching on his cuff.

Now he's cold, haunted, and sinking deeper into his revenge with every raid and every video. A stolen Arasaka chip sits in his neck, and a growing crowd treats him like a symbol.
