Sometimes is better to let things go

[simple cradle]

NO judy and V were meant to be

[remote isle]

Clearly not

[wanton scaffold]

[tawdry oxide]

I am doing a Corpo one too

[spice hatch]

The Judy fan saying this is funny

[blazing charm]

Tyger Claws can aurafarm

I regret buying bro's game hole-ly

V is just a side character in this dude's world.

[serene terrace]

Yeah the Tyger Claws got some damn drip

My V just looks like a tactical hobo because I have one item that boosts my Street Cred gain and it really throws off my drip

[zinc spire]

Does anyone know why the burning man isn't spawning for me at 11:55 pm?

[flat gazelle]

In the last few hours of the gameplay, twice I was attacked without provoking anyone. First time when I arrived in front o Coyote Coyo for funeral by some level boss(es). Second time it was when I was driving casually through NC and Militech attacked me with 3 vehichles. Also, when I arrived in front of Corpo Plaza apartment, it was red and said combat mode but no one attacked me and it stopped when I entered apartment. Also, I play stealth build and everything redgarding cyberware seems appropriate, I play NEW GAME PLUS (mod from Nexus) so I got some extra cyberware from end of the game and suddenly, again, when playing gigs, I always use stealth build, trying more with quickhacks (untracable) and when I hack some goon, I immediately get combat mode even when I crouch behind a building or on the roof and do everything remotely. What coud be reason for that??

[heady hatch]

Sometimes when you do a gig against a faction (usually a gang) people from said faction come to attack you. It's probably that.

[stuck dagger]

That NG+ mod adds new enemy encounters as well. Random enemies jump you every now and then. I use the same thing. Got jumped by like 40 dudes one time😭

[heady hatch]

😏

[flat gazelle]

Is it possible to change that in the redscript mode menu? 😄

and it's not just that, as i sad, i have very good cyberware but still when i hack an enemy (untraceable quickhack) hidding behind close doors or even outside, or on the roof crouching, it still initiates combat :/

[wooden crater]

pls im lvl 18 and i want david martinez build

what do i do pls help

[edgy gyro]

Body for shotgun and health perks, Tech for Edgerunner and cyberware perks in general, a Sandevistan, Gorilla Arms and those legs that give you a charged jump

Whatever they're called, I only used them for like 10 minutes in my 400 or so hours

[wooden crater]

how do i get all this

im just enjoyin the game tbh

like i wanted try out something cool

thats why

[edgy gyro]

Body and Tech are both just attributes, you level them up and get perks in them

[wooden crater]

hmm

so i gotta level up

[edgy gyro]

Sandevistan, Gorilla Arms and the one charged jump leg cyberware are cyberware parts, so you buy them from Ripperdocs

[wooden crater]

any ripperdocs?

[edgy gyro]

The options the ripperdocs give you and the quality of their items depends on your levels

[wooden crater]

sooo how do i level up quick or does it take time

[edgy gyro]

I believe sandevistans are available from level 20+

[wooden crater]

i only played main quests soo

[edgy gyro]

It's pretty quick if you just do gigs

[wooden crater]

gigs meaning side quests?

[edgy gyro]

I'd recommend you take your time with side content between main missions

[edgy gyro]

Gigs are jobs the Fixers in each area will give you

But yeah, basically side quests I guess

Just more specifically from fixers

[slender sapphire]

Gigs are the best part of the game because they give more freedom than the main quest imo

[wooden crater]

till now ive been only playin the main quests

so imma take a break and do other stuff

[edgy gyro]

Agreed, and you get many cool world building tidbits if you look for them

[slender sapphire]

Mr hands probably my favourite fixer

After that padre

Then el capitan then wakako then regina

Then dexter deshawn

Then dino

[edgy gyro]

For me my Cap'n is always gonna be number 1

[wooden crater]

he uhh died i mean thats wht i saw

[edgy gyro]

After that comes Mr. Handsome, then Regina

[slender sapphire]

Yeah thats why i like him above dino

[slender sapphire]

At least he had the decency to die

[wooden crater]

so if i do these gigs

i can level up??

quick

[slender sapphire]

Yeah that plus ncpd hustles is how you farm money and levels

[wooden crater]

ncpd hustles?

[slender sapphire]

The blue police scanner things on the map

[edgy gyro]

Don't give him credit for that, bro couldn't even accept his end and went out crawling and begging

[slender sapphire]

Make sure to loot all your enemies weapons to sell or scrap for components

[wooden crater]

hmm yeah i want better weapons

some enemies

take so long to beat them

[slender sapphire]

I can't say c*ckroach??!!!

Its an animal

Its a legitimate word

[edgy gyro]

Tbf who even decided that name

[slender sapphire]

What i wanna know is who the hell decided to make a food and call it spotted d*ck

[wooden crater]

how do i get better weapons atleast

[edgy gyro]

Looting, buying or crafting from specs

[slender sapphire]

Looting them, iconics can be upgraded to a better tier

[edgy gyro]

You get higher rarities as you level up

Every 5 levels are an increase I believe

Same goes for Cyberware

Tier 1, 1+, 2, 2+, 3, 3+ and so on

Up until tier 5++, though not sure if the tiers above 5 are PL exclusive

[slender sapphire]

You can upgrade them yourself before this as well i rushed a tier 4 cyberdeck when everyone was still level 2+ or 3 and i was coasting through

[wooden crater]

how do you do that??

[edgy gyro]

True, I did that for my mantis blades on my blades playthrough

[slender sapphire]

Crafting Components

[edgy gyro]

Upgrade? On the crafting screen there's an upgrade tab

[slender sapphire]

Can scrap weapons for them

[edgy gyro]

Though for cyberware specifically you need to see a ripperdoc and access the crafting tab in the cyberware screen

[slender sapphire]

A free way to upgrade iconic weapons and cyberware for free

[edgy gyro]

You can only upgrade weapons if they're Iconic btw

Regular weapons you'd have to swap for higher tier copies

[slender sapphire]

Yes but iconics are where its at anyway

[edgy gyro]

Depends honestly

[slender sapphire]

Only non iconic i used is the satara

[edgy gyro]

I for one absolutely love the regular DB-2 Satara

While Order is just meh for me

[slender sapphire]

Thats the only exception

The satara is a masterpiece especially with the wall puncher chimera mod

[edgy gyro]

True

It's actually kinda sad to compare the iconic Order to it

[slender sapphire]

Well order is a maelstrom weapon remember all flash no substance just designed to look intimidating by a bunch of cyborg methheads

[edgy gyro]

Like, the regular Satara with wallpuncher alone deals so much damage and shoots so much more often, that even a fully charged Order shot doesn't compare

[edgy gyro]

Fair, but I'd rather have it be really powerful but unstable and have a chance to shock the user if fully charged or something

Rn it's just a worse, clunkier version

[slender sapphire]

It made don't fear the reaper on very hard a breeze was one shotting everything i made adam smasher look like a soyboy

[slender sapphire]

Or knock you over

Its so powerful it blasts you back

[edgy gyro]

Yeah

Could even have some fun tech with jumps like Guts and the Comrade's Hammer(my beloved)

[edgy gyro]

Still get hyped remembering how it felt to do DFTR on Very Hard with bats only

Just one weirdo fighting in a dress and high heels, wielding a baseball bat against an actual army

[surreal imp]

Order is meh in general.

[fierce wagon]

Why

[edgy gyro]

It's too slow for the damage it deals

Especially compared to the regular Satara

[fierce wagon]

In compensation you dont have to grind for a clean satara

Because most T5s come with slots filled

[edgy gyro]

You can just buy one, though

[fierce wagon]

As i said gtind the stores xD

[edgy gyro]

And the Satara doesn't really need Wallpuncher to outmatch Order imo

Wallpuncher is just what makes the difference so clear it becomes undeniable

[fierce wagon]

Order does DOT which compensates the 3 sec charge. I normally do around 1000 dmg and i still know where the target is if needed

[fierce wagon]

Yeah properly modded the satara is brutal not denying it, but order is not meh come on

[edgy gyro]

Satara shoots what, 4 times in that 3 second time frame?

[fierce wagon]

Dont remember

[edgy gyro]

I believe the charge time is .5s without Wallpuncher, .25s with it

So only limiting factor is reloading

But really the main thing is how little is restricts your movement

[slender sapphire]

Which is pretty quick anyway

[fierce wagon]

Not really order doesnt reload fast

So satara wins there

Is mostly convenience

[edgy gyro]

Yeah, I mean limiting for how many shots Satara gets for each 1 of Order's

[slender sapphire]

Satara with wallpuncher is one shot at close range anyway for 99% of them so the extra damage of order ain't worth it

[fierce wagon]

I just to go and buy a proper thing which i know it is always available at the same place. Ofc if i get a proper satara i keep the satara

[slender sapphire]

Those bolt shots are lethal

[slender sapphire]

At max level theres a cyberpsycho in the badlands who always uses a tier 5 ++ satara

[fierce wagon]

Cant even remember all of that. I just remember killing that dumb sniper cyberpsycho by standing still with katana xD

[slender sapphire]

But before i get that its often a headache finding a higher level satara

[edgy gyro]

I can never get him to drop it sadly

[slender sapphire]

I remember going from gunshop to gunshop

Hoping for next tier

Or even crafting specs

[fierce wagon]

I know, that is why i tell ppl to get the order just in case

[slender sapphire]

I hope the next cyberpunk you can order guns off the net like with cars would be a lot more convenient

[edgy gyro]

Honestly a Tier 5 Satara is already enough for me, anything beyond that becomes a hassle

[fierce wagon]

If i get it ok, if not i revert to order

[fierce wagon]

Probably

[slender sapphire]

I'm ocd everything needs to be tier 5 ++

[edgy gyro]

But hey, we all know what the best Tech weapon is, right?

[slender sapphire]

Satara

No dispute

[edgy gyro]

Comrade's Hammer

[slender sapphire]

Meh

[fierce wagon]

No sorry

[edgy gyro]

The Comrade's Hammer is so fun, even if it's not the strongest

[slender sapphire]

Low fire rate for a revolver

If im going revolver i prefer overture or mancinella

[edgy gyro]

It forces you to play very aggressively and consciously of your movement

[fierce wagon]

I just stay away and use an ashura or breakthrough

After hacking the enemy with cripple movement so they stand still

xD

[edgy gyro]

Now that I think about it, the Comrade's Hammer plays kinda similar to throwing knives

Or throwing axes, rather

[slender sapphire]

I currently loaded my monowire with that its made boss fights so much easier

No ram cost either

[fierce wagon]

Well it is the only viable hack after they nerfed combat hacks in monowire and its dmg

[slender sapphire]

I think the zetatech cyberdeck buffs monowire but i prefer using my quickhacks anyway to explode their heads telepathically

[edgy gyro]

Cyberware Malfunction is also viable and arguably better, at least against elite/boss enemies

[fierce wagon]

I guess... i dont usually use mw

[edgy gyro]

It increases damage to an even higher point, deals damage of it's own and permanently disables ALL active cyberware from the enemy

[slender sapphire]

Cyberware malfunction+ synapse burn + cyberware malfunction with the rippler cyberdeck shreds bosses

[fierce wagon]

Nah i stick to mwross at 14

[edgy gyro]

But it also takes a few charged heavies on the same enemy to stack, so that's why I said specifically for elite/boss enemies

[edgy gyro]

I was thinking of the best for monowire, but yeah

[fierce wagon]

Too expensive

And forces combat

[slender sapphire]

With high enough body, health regen and overclock + heal on kill and quick airhypo recharge time ram basically becomes infinite

[slender sapphire]

I prefer combat netrunning to stealth

Though for stealth i'd probably do sonic shock+ synapse burn

[fierce wagon]

Well mind wipe + reboot optics + system shock 14 ram is stealth instakill so... no need for more

[slender sapphire]

Yeah thanks ill probably use that if i go more stealthy for my current build i only use stealth for optional objectives otherwise i just wipe everyone out in combat

[fierce wagon]

Your choice. Just one note, to get 14 ram, you need mind wipe 4, reboot optics 2, and system shock iconic (5 gets you 18 ram). Otherwise it becomes higher cost than system collapse which voids the point

[surreal imp]

Comrade's Hammer (and O'Five) is basically the furthest you get from a throwing knives gameplay tho. The latter tends to be pretty headshot-based.

[edgy gyro]

I see what you mean, but the constant weaving in and out of melee range to do the quick smack for the reload does remind me of how, at least with axes, you might be going in to reset the throwing cooldown

[surreal imp]

If you have Juggler perk, it returns the weapon to you on kill. Alternatively, if you use a Punknife or Punknife + Headhunter, you they return pretty quickly on their own.
Also, you can just switch between 3 knives/axes.

[junior tundra]

guys i finished the voodoo boys quest and phantom liberty's first quest unlocked..and i actually started it without realising it is phantom liberty till the plain crash thingy

looks like it is better to do it later so

do i need to get back to the save point before starting the quest cuz i cant leave, or will it be fine to play a little bit and i can go back and do everything else and come back to this later on

[edgy gyro]

Don't worry, you're not locked in Dogtown

After you finish the first PL mission, which is pretty long tbf, like over an hour, you're free to leave and come back as you like

[junior tundra]

rn im where the ||plane crashed and a phantom liberty banner type appeared and i was told to save the precident||

i suppose doing an hour rn and then doing remaining after quite a long while would be fine right?

[edgy gyro]

Remaining as in the rest of the DLC, after you've finished this mission?

If so, yeah

[junior tundra]

i hear its good to do at near the end of act 2

[edgy gyro]

Just can't leave during the mission (or rather you could, after the plane crashed, instead of going to it, but ||then you'll straight up just fail the DLC storyline entirely||)

[edgy gyro]

I like to juggle it with the Act 2 quests, personally

It's a matter of preference

[junior tundra]

i guess its not more than an hour that i can do other things so i will just continue

[junior tundra]

oh well maybe i will get some idea when i feel like it after starting it

[junior tundra]

yeah.. i actually accidently did triggered it and loaded last save point lol

well thanks telling all this

[edgy gyro]

Npnp

[sturdy pine]

Hey may question

[edgy gyro]

What's up?

[sturdy pine]

Where can I buy extra quick hack options

[edgy gyro]

There are a few netrunning vendors around NC

[sturdy pine]

Do I unlock it after doing the netrunning quest from tbug

[edgy gyro]

The three I can remember off the top of my head are the lady you get Ping from in Kabuki, the netrunner Wakako tasks you with checking up on, and the netrunner girl in Pacifica

[edgy gyro]

I think so, yeah

The lady you talk to in that quest is the one in Kabuki

[sturdy pine]

Alright

[sturdy pine]

Ahh

Okok
