Irradiated wanderers can only spawn in the city type "Necropolis," similar to how ghouls can only be found in Necropolis in Fallout.
 * The Shishkebab, a weapon described as a "large blade with a fuel pipe on the side, and a small tank and igniter built into the insulated hilt" is a reference to the weapon of the same name that has appeared in the series since Fallout 3.

In Cyberpunk 2077, out in the Badlands, a wasteland-like region surrounding the main setting of Night City, a few corpses can be found around a circular dish with "101" on the front.
