The Beat on the Brat questline in Cyberpunk 2077 kicks off with a challenging brawl against Certo and Esquerdo, the shared-brain duo known as the Twins in Kabuki. Because they fight simultaneously, many players find themselves overwhelmed by dual attacks during their first attempt. Preparing properly and learning basic positioning techniques will make this early-game street fight significantly easier to manage.
Essential Preparation Before the Match
Before stepping onto the rooftop arena, consume items that boost maximum health and stamina regeneration to give V an edge. Equipping Gorilla Arms or investing in Body perks improves punch damage, though patient players can win with base stats. Ensure you have enough Eddies saved up so you can place the maximum bet to maximize your earnings upon victory.
Controlling the Arena and Footwork
The most important tactic against the Twins is keeping both opponents lined up in front of you so they cannot flank V. Keep moving around the ring continuously and avoid getting backed into corners where you can take double damage. When one twin charges forward, use sidesteps to reposition so he blocks the path of his brother.
Mastering Defensive Timing and Counters
Holding down your guard absorbs most incoming strikes without suffering severe health loss. Pay attention to their slow attack animations and execute a counter-block right before impact to stagger them. Once a twin is stunned, deliver a few quick jabs or a heavy attack before stepping back to reset your stamina.
Finishing the Fight Efficiently
Focus all your attacks on a single twin until he is knocked out rather than splitting your damage evenly. Reducing the encounter to a one-on-one scenario eliminates the risk of crossfire and lets you control the rest of the fight effortlessly. Once the first brother falls, maintain your defensive rhythm to easily dispatch the remaining fighter and claim your reward.
