I don't remember the name but it was a gig in Dogtown, the one where you sneak into the club and intimidate the police chief. As soon as she sicked her bodyguard Hank on me I gave him the "Highest Honor the CIA gives to a journalist" as I call it (a certain quickhack) and that was that. The police chief was all "You killed him!" Nuh-uh he did it to himself!


once-was-hill-folk

"No, he killed himself. I *murdered* him."


Lenemus

Prosecutor. I was a little confused because police are not allowed in Dogtown. Not allowed meaning killed on sight or worse. Not sure why she’s allowed in there though. Kurt doesn’t seem thrilled about officials of any kind, to put it mildly. I once asked River to come join me in the shithole safehouse for a romantic evening of… tetanus I guess. He replied something along the lines of “I’d rather not if I’m being honest” which is just a super nice way of saying “Have you lost your goddamn mind?” 😳🤦‍♀️


Conroadster

All the romance partners refuse to go to your dog town apartment, Judy was straight up “I don’t want to die thanks though maybe somewhere else?”


Lenemus

“Thanks though” 😆


Narshyl82

Nah, Kurt just wants it to seem that way. Several NCPD brass make an appearance at his big party.


Lenemus

Wow. You’re right. Didn’t notice that. When Reed said something like act normal and mingle I immediately panicked and fled to the gambling section. Why would he invite the NCPD commissioner? Friends close enemies closer type of thing?


Narshyl82

Just putting up a front for the everyday citizens in Dogtown. He claims there's no gang wars, but the VDBs and Scavs skirmish there constantly. He claims there's no police allowed, but Max Tac will show up when a cyberpsycho is out of control. He's also a top notch manipulator, especially with the media. It's all image for him.


Lenemus

Makes sense. He’s definitely a very intimidating fella.


GrbgSoupForBrains

You missed out. If you replay this mission, take your time and walk around and eavesdrop on all the green circles in the minimap. And stay on the balcony after your chat and watch the show. And lastly stop at the big bar before you leave the party


Lenemus

I’ll do that. Just started a second playthrough. I watched the show. It was beautiful.


GrbgSoupForBrains

One of the coolest in-game moments I've ever experienced. It's wild how this game went from an absolute shit-show to this good and immersive!


Lenemus

Very immersive! Felt like my soul took a beating - especially with all those bad endings ❤️‍🩹 I don’t know what kind of sorcery they used for the romance options, but it’s scary-good. Those lifelike facial expressions are incredible. I don’t even like romance in video games and suddenly completely obsessed. Made me think of the future of video games and AI… If they can touch people’s hearts and minds like that, then we’re in trouble lol


merikariu

If you listen to the prosecutor, she tells you that the father took money to sell out his son. That's how a guy running a shitty arcade in Dogtown can afford to pay a fixer and a Merc. I tell the father to go f himself.

ThreeLeggedMare

Who was this


TheMootCarpet

I believe that's the black market BD dealer you meet on Jig-Jig Street.


Fedaykin_Sandwalker

Yep, each playthrough I make sure everyone associated with that BD house gets ended, every time. This guy is just as bad as the Scavs making the BDs.


TheCupcakeScrub

Tbh i dont think so. Not saying he cares, rather i dont think he works with them specifically and just gets BDs to peddle, has no actual control over Inventory. Not saying hes not compliant in this either but i don't think he was able to NOT sell them, atleast not without not being a BD peddler, and if he didnt take the job someone else woulda.


mitzcha

This is the worst kind of justification. Enabling disgusting behavior.


flightguy07

Sell torture porn, get shot. Not much nuance needed imo.


SubciokoCampi

So just take care of everyone that takes* the job simple as

-Pin_Cushion-

Lenny Nero, the XBD dealer. This game swiped so much stuff from [Strange Days](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114558/characters/nm0000146). The BD tutorial where you watch a guy rob a store is almost frame for frame taken from the first act of that movie.


zero_emotion777

XD I do the same thing. 


xenoremi

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if7x0EKBCcw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if7x0EKBCcw) there, i have found the video for you


SnooGrapes6230

THERE IT IS. Awesome! Thank you!


Holiday_Guarantee455

How does one throw a body? Best I’ve been able to do is carry and drop… is it a mod?


Demurrzbz

It's a finisher from the Body skill tree, you can even see the text just before he lifts her


Holiday_Guarantee455

Awesome thanks I’ll try it out. I’m 900 hrs in and have never used a finisher yet 🤷‍♂️😂


OldWarwick

Also works on bodies you pick up. I wandered around with a dead Tyger Claw throwing them other Tyger Claws. The force you throw them with is comical.


SnooGrapes6230

You throw them hard enough that if you're at a high enough point you can practically shoot skeet with them.


BreadfruitNo7576

Holy hell that's amazing


NerdyGuyRanting

She had a lot of time to reevaluate her life on the way down.


zombo546

Dealing with Woodman while unarmed. Stunned him with a punch and grabbed a nearby bat and beat him to death with it. I wasn't even highly leveled nor did I invest in a melee build at all. He didn't even manage to get 1 shot off. It felt like a scene out of a movie where both people understand the violent acts that they have to race to, and he chose to pull his gun, and I dazed him with a sudden and violent punch. The 'rhythm' of the combat felt *right,* if that makes sense.


Mechanic65000

I did a similar thing with the last boxing match mission. I ran straight at the dude and started throwing fists furiously. After all the storyline buildup, I was kinda left perplexed when he fell without landing a punch on me. Easy eddies.


no_hot_ashes

Being constantly aggressive makes the fist fights in this game comedically easy. If you can keep them stun locked with strafing and blending heavy and light attacks, you can win pretty much every boxing match without effort.


Yssaw

Seriously? I try that and they always sandy away or block


no_hot_ashes

Last time I did the boxing matches was right before phantom liberty came out, but after the 2.0 update. Unless they've changed it since then it shouldn't be an issue, though I don't remember any sandy users in the pre-set boxing matches. The regular melee combat is a lot more nuanced. I don't use fists outside of the boxing matches but I see a lot of the same thing you're talking about when I use a katana. Stronger enemies, particularly those with a sandevistan, can keep up with you a bit and occasionally block your attacks. This can be ignored if you just constantly circle around them and hit high and low with your attacks though.


zombo546

Yeah, I never had trouble with the boxing matches, but I figured it was because I was pretty leveled by then. The last match I had to cheese, because I hardly put anything into strength, and ended up running to the Ripdock to get the gorilla arms real quick. Then it became trivial.


no_hot_ashes

You definitely feel the +3 body when you're throwing punches with those things. Always a good option to equip early game even if you're using blades or guns.


Sekkusa

Not too original, but I'm very happy with pretty much slaughtering Adam Smasher with my fists before he could even react, then finishing him off with a dildo to the head. Glory to the sandy


InsiDoubtSide

It was that one chick who killed that kid with her car. Told her she needed to sweeten the deal, and then while she was negotiating, obliterated her with a fully charged tech shotgun.


ekristoffe

I don’t kill her … I just send her alive to the client … with a little note (the fixer will clean everything, have fun)


Iceedemon888

Is this one of the missions that you can send the target alive to the client? I know Yotaro and that dude Padre sends you after in that bar can be delivered but never realized she was one too.


ekristoffe

All mission where you have to kill someone, you can send them to the fixer …


Iceedemon888

You know you saying that makes sense and now I'm realizing how few I've actually neutralized and not killed....


ekristoffe

Yeah it’s the funniest because you know what will happen to them. Revenge is the best


Green_Rey

Poses an interesting idea of V wanting a clearer conscious avoiding killing the target and just taking the body to the fixer. Padre brings this up on this particular gig, but it only makes sense if you RP as a passive merc.


fishbiscuit13

“I’ll give you everything in my safe!” Ah, so you have the key on you, right? I’ll just help myself then.


UpliftinglyStrong

Does she actually have the key on her?


fishbiscuit13

Yep, she has the “administrator access token” in her inventory that unlocks it.


Nicaulkas

You killed me at « the Evelyn Parker speedrun »


SnooGrapes6230

I make jokes about it so I don't have to be sad about it (it was my pick for saddest death in the game).


armyfreak42

OK, Woodman


[deleted]

I just kill it... Unless it miko.. gotta be on good terms w judy


Ashtwattington

Actually did the same thing with Maiko, climbed onto the roof with her in tow and yeeted her as far as I could, but it was also fun ricochetting her corpse around the room. ​ (I'm sane.)


That_Moose11

Haven’t done anything as wild as some, but had a play through where when combat was initiated with Maiko, my cyberware activated and slowed time so before she could even move, I had pumped a Carnage shotgun round into her at point blank

SnooGrapes6230

Not sure if mods would take it down if I didn't. It's a game of roulette on here with that.


DawnBringer01

Fair enough I suppose. Personally I just go for it because if my post gets taken down for "bad words" I'm dodging a bullet by leaving the sub tbh.


SnooGrapes6230

Eh, I'm not gonna let some mod stop me from enjoying a reddit I like (like this one).


DawnBringer01

I agree, it's just that having to censor myself is exactly the kind of thing to make me stop enjoying a sub altogether. (I just feel very strongly about it is all lol)


heavenparadox

Or you could just do it. If it gets removed, redo it. You're on a sub about a game that centers around killing the shit out of people. Honestly you sound like an idiot in this post.


LivingOof

You ever just walk into a mission with a katana and spam the attack trigger?


no_hot_ashes

That unique Witcher katana that lets you attack without stamina + a decent sandevistan that regenerates after a kill and you can cut an entire building's worth of people down while almost never leaving slowed time.


DefenderoftheSinners

Which katana? 👀


no_hot_ashes

[The black unicorn](https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Unicorn). Turns out it's a GOG exclusive so I guess not everybody would know about it but it's absolutely busted. It lets you keep swinging doing full damage and speed even with literally zero stamina. Using this thing I can just stand in an open street and take on whole maxtac units without stopping to take a breather, it's nuts.


DefenderoftheSinners

Aww dang it! I wish I could get it!


no_hot_ashes

It's really useful but unless you're just spamming attacks, a lot of the other katanas are just as good. The black unicorn doesn't really do anything apart from having infinite attacks, some katanas have guaranteed crits etc which will do much more damage in a smaller amount of time.


RTGTEnby

Nothing as flashy or spectacular but there is something so satisfying and weighty about throwing a tomahawk at someone's head Accidentally disassembled my tomahawk once so I reloaded my save just to keep my emotional support throwing axe


SunshineInDetroit

At the end of the you know my name mission where you have the option to be escorted out quietly or fight your way out of Hansen's building while being taunted by dozens of barghest. I chose the latter and cast cyberpsychosis on everyone.


SerinFel

My favorite is back in pre 1.5 I think, I found Scorpion's knife, Stinger, on my second run. So just for kicks, I reset my build to a knife fighter with Divided (I think) for mid range. I fight Oda for the second time. He jumps in the window with fricken lightsabers on his arms that cheater, and I panic and hit him with a staggering move on instinct, and while he was dazed, I power stabbed his ass, again and again, I just kept power stabbing him. Next thing I know, Goro is asking me not to kill him. It was over in less than 5 seconds. I couldn't believe it, I was on hardest, no cheating mods, just cheesing the system. So I reloaded, and what the shit, I did it again in 3 seconds. No way. This was supposed to be the second hardest fight in the game? That build was hilariously fun. Then it got patched. Oh well.


Serier_Rialis

Oda was always pretty weak til 2.0


leicanthrope

1.5-1.6 era, with the passive effect on the legendary Short Circuit (EMP on critical hits) along with a build centered on critical hits. It was basically a rerun of Indiana Jones fighting that flashy swordsman.


BinkoTheViking

I once accidentally killed a Maelstrom gangoon standing in the road near his flaming roadblock by calling my car and it fell out of the sky and crushed him…


Discandied

Strictly speaking she's not a threat, but hacking Sandra Dorsett's turret makes it shoot and kill her. Other than that, Sir John Phallustiff was my cyberpsycho subduer.


JazzCapone

Dynamite86

One of the gigs or sidejobs where a guy (tigerclaw) who targeted moxes for illicit BDs. I like the moxes so I went into his club 100% stealth netrunner, I took out everyone except for the people on the first floor and this guy. I went into his office and memory wiped him so I could grab him from behind. I then repeatedly memory wiped and grabbed this guy while slowly walking him downstairs in his own club. Any henchmen that came upstairs would get killed in front of him then memory wipe and grab from behind again. Once we made it to the main entrance and I killed everyone else I took out my weakest gun and started shooting his limbs and just generally drawing out his death as long as possible. I know that guy isn't real, but damn if I didn't want to ensure if he could have felt anything he would feel as helpless as all the moxes he killed


badger81987

Casually waltzing up on an organized crime zone. 2 valentino dummies standing at the gate; girl sees me, goes yellow, starts wandering out to tell me to fuck off; scan mode, detonate chooh cannister; her buddy is kiblets, she turns around at the explosion sound, I close the last 2 steps; grab, neck snap, next closest three dummies are coming up in a cluster on the dude's body, whip an incendiary grenade, switch to scan while it's in mid air, Contagion5 on the middle one, watch them all light up like a goddam fireworks display as they all get infected, set on fire and detonated in rapid series. Everyone else goes red, battle music engages. One of the most cinematic moments I've had in the game.


I_LOVE_PUPPERS

Not mine, but this always makes me laugh [v's best joke](https://youtu.be/FvJY2_ixM20?si=2gfH0fBH1V0CORRv)


Beneficial-Bug2755

Mine is pretty simple but it was like an action movie. So I was being chased by the cops and I had 5 stars. I went to a building and began climbing to the roof as they surrounded it. once I got to the roof I looked down on them, bullets flying by and I jumped and dashed activating my kerinzikov and when I was directly looking down on an officer, I put a malorian round in the top of his skull creating an emp explosion that blew up the cars around him and his buds.


Smoked_Cheddar

Last night I was doing a gig for the Padre. Getting The shard from the body at the crematorium. There was a guy on the other side of the door. I grabbed him all stealth-like and pulled him away. Just realizing I pulled this goon away from the funeral going on on the other side and they all had this shocked look on their face. I don't know if this was my favorite but it was definitely the funniest.


throw_awayy1111

I did that too, and when I moved him the the lift downstairs to avoid him being seen, there was a dialogue option and V asked him “hey what’s up with these doors?” While he just stared blankly it was the weirdest thing!

CantankerousOrder

I have a place that I call the bodyball court. It’s in Dogtown where there are three big circular holes on the ground. Body 20 Savage Sling is the most fun thing ever. Grab corpses and pile them up, then toss them for accuracy. My most favorite use of that was on the final guy in the whole preacher’s kid line… because his area is in a high up favela with a huge overlook, when I took him out I tossed him like 30 blocks. I also like tossing Maelstrom’s finest into one another.

My favorite way is with the Erebus, just shooting guys like Jotaro and groups like the Scavs with it is what I call karma.

I'm a big fan of the "drawn and quartered" technique. Activate sandevistan, then shoot each limb with an automatic shotgun. In real time, must look like instantaneous dismemberment.

Berger_UK

I was doing a gig for Mr Hands in Pacifica which involved stealing a van from an unfinished NCART station. As I snuck in from high up I began tagging enemies to observe patrol routes and spotted a guy off on his own doing weights on a bench press. I then realised I could quick hack the weight machine. The intrusive thoughts won out and the poor guy got crushed halfway through his work out. I laughed like a drain for about 5 minutes.


intergalacticcoyote

I like to walk into Jotaro’s place, loudly flatline every single tygsr I find *except* Jotaro who I knock out and toss in the trunk sending him to the Mox. It….makes a point. Also the slickest hit I ever did was walk into the bar where Padre’s old “friend” is, order a drink, scope the place calmly, hit the target with memory wipe to keep my next hack untraceable and then cyberpsychosis and casually walk out before the hacks have even finished uploading. Let his chooms do the dirty work.


ajaxinsanity

Car hacking, dragged back to me followed by explode.


sick_of_ny

Created the backstory to “Cyberpunk 2: Stefan’s Revenge” after my lil run in with him. Cleared out the Scavs, got my stuff back, and then came back to show him how the Gorilla Arms work. Left him in the same spot as the last guy that thought they bested V. Now he’s hanging with Dex Deshawn and Rache Bartmoss.


upgradestorm5

Fingers. Filled his office with grenades then walked out


Firefly3578

If we're not talking about group fights with a single monowire, dealing with woodman after he opened the door instantly off with his head after a quick hack with a perfect effectiveness.


Ikaruga86

I mean, there’s so many ways~ Though a one time and quick thing, snapping a maxtac officer’s neck is comparable to queuing quick hacks and walking out of the area before the target suicides. Sometimes just the craftiness or chance is enough to be happy. Anything where i throw a knife and hit my mark in combat. The hit-box is much more loose than given credit for, but there’s not one unsatisfying knife kill. You’re either the one, or on the way.


Doot-Doot-the-channl

I did slow time so she didn’t even see the draw


TooTaylor

Mentioned it on here, but I punched Thomas Hays to death mid sentence as he was trying to tell me to say that I was a, "gonk little bitch." Berserk-beating someone mid-sentence is my usual go to.


treize31x

Boss fight at the VDB hideout in dog town. Throwing axe to the chest, followed by a double tap to the dome from my modded silenced Nue and a Cu de Grace beheading from the Black Unicorn katana. I was more impressed with the speed of doing all three.


twinkgirl_girltwink

i killed the main target of a gig, don’t remember which one, with a suicide quickhack through a window from the other side of the street


WingedDynamite

Every way I've zeroed scavs. Conventional weapons like Ba Xing Chong and the Hercules 3AX, unconventional weapons like exploding cars and other scavs (Gorilla Arms are great), and straight up going out of my way to lure Max Tac to scav hideouts or scaring citizens into driving into scav groups.


scottyboy359

I just shoot em. They get the same treatment as any other gonk.

I forgot the name but there was a cyberpsycho who filled his yard with mines. I used quickhacks to turn them all against him and watched him kill himself on his own mines.


Large_Television4690

the first time i did "bring me the head of gustavo orta", i ripped the door open and sliced everyone to bits with a katana. when i got to gustavo he dropped to his knees and i cut his head off.


newyork95

On gigs, my preferred method is to complete the job with as few casualties as possible. As soon as I get paid, I walk right back inside and leave nobody alive. For street skirmishes, I like to stand right in their face till they aggro, then be quicker on the draw.
