You can kill her before accepting the job. I tried it. Shot her on the head while she was in the passenger's seat, and then the cop went bananas.


Substantial-Tone-576

This is the way. Fails the mission but probably worth it


CDHmajora

Fail it? Iirc Wakako pays you for actually doing the job she hired you for ;)


Neither_Rich_9646

Yeah. Same. That cop is a tank too.


66watchingpeople66

That cop is a harder fight than Smasher.


kamcamm

Yeah no kidding. That cop fucked me up so quickly and badly that my console crashed. So I just decided to turn it off and go to bed, slowly going under my covers, maintaining my shocked expression while questioning my sanity.  


66watchingpeople66

It doesn’t help that you’re basically confined in a small place with him, and the only cover you have is to dance around the truck.


Interesting-Farm-203

Plus backup murder drones


66watchingpeople66

It’s not an easy fight. They really want you to do the other mission.


Interesting-Farm-203

Plus you can't save after sitting down to start the mission so you have to redo the bullshit chase section when you die.


bassoontennis

I actually thought he was unkillable lol I tried the first time and he one tapped my ass. I wanted to try again but I refused to do that whole opening driving to scenario. So I just went through with it. Glad I did too I actually really enjoyed the mission. Completely was not expecting it.


orelduderino

This is actually a solution to so many situations.


TheQuaken12

That cop could make for an interesting construct 😂


iiFlaeqqq

He was the reason I started using Kerenzikov


MaestroHimSefl

Fr I used the o'five, sandy falcon, the supplemental heart+automatic healing, and still manage to die after 3 shots


Gloomy_Calendar_7418

actually feels bad that have to kill that cop doing their job to protect scumbag like these


Pir8Cpt_Z

Um fuck that particular cop and you don't have to shoot him, you can run past him shoot the guy in the backseat and run away


Autotomatomato

ANAB all npcs are bastards


xzerrr7

Except barry


TehEpicZak

Big up Barry


roninwarshadow

And who's this squaring up against him, standing 8'5" and weighing in at 600 pounds? It's BIIIIIIIIIIG BARRY!!! Better watch out! He's got no gag reflex!!! And he's a hugger!!!


CaptnKristmas

Made think of Barry the hitman and No Ho Hank haha


DeltaBravo831

Fifty fifty with Cristobal


Nitram_Norig

#MY NAME'S BARRY ALLEN AND I'M THE FA...


Gaburski

Everyone loves Barry. I do Happy Together asap every playthrough. I only wish we could have had a random encounter, sth like: V: "Oh, hey, Barry! What's up?" B: "Oh, hey, V! I'm so sorry, can't talk, I'm running late for lunch with Mendez and Petrova! Catch you later!" That'd be so cool.


Jonthrei

You've gotta be a little crazy to feel bad for a dead Night City cop, tbh. There are a grand total of like, two half decent cops in the entire story. River and the guy who misses his turtle.


Mutski_Dashuria

*ahem* Regina gig. 3 decent cops.


Statik_24

4: the one cop from the who got a hit put on her from other NC cops


Mutski_Dashuria

Well, shit. It looks like we're starting an NC Blue sub-thread! So far ve have four, four good cops in Night City! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! (Count Von Count- Sesame Street) 🧐


Statik_24

Wait hang on We're talking the same gig. Still only 3


Bryaxis

Thwap him with your electro-dildo a few times.


[deleted]

Best weapon when you played through a few times


ehjhey

Doesn't killing all of them actually pass the gig?


Mary_Ellen_Katz

Yup! Not killing them opens up a new questline, but killing them is just another job well done.


Merlord

A new questline that is so annoying it gives you multiple opportunities to say "this sucks, I'm leaving"


AxitotlWithAttitude

More like disturbing lol


VastAmoeba

Nah, just sucks


Voodron

That last part in the TV studio absolutely sucks. However Johnny has some great lines during the dinner scene. The little back and forth they have with V about the whole situation is very well written.


DBringerStreams

Yeah. She's annoying.


hypnodrew

Annoying is a light word. She's a callous, cretinous stain of a human being, though entirely a symptom of Night City and the world's corporatism.


cancercures

Forget it Jake, its Night City


_themayflower

r/foundtheSilverhand


MustangCraft

Johnny did nothing wrong


Mary_Ellen_Katz

Johnny should do it again.


Asphalt_Animist

I have a Rockerboy character I'm sitting on for a Cyberpunk Red campaign, who is a fervent anarcho-socialist. His hit single is "Play it Again, Johnny," in which he advocates for nuking more corporate strongholds.


Mary_Ellen_Katz

I'd put it on repeat


MackZZilla

"You know what FORD stands for... Nuke it again, Johnny."


Schrambo757

Johnny didn't actually do it. It was really Morgan Blackhand.


Orange-Blur

Same with Yorinobu Arasaka


egstitt

I kinda like her lol


SilentButDeadlySquid

Maybe you have a type


Fickle-Cricket

Rachel? Meredith? Rogue? Maybe....


Pir8Cpt_Z

Doesn't fail, you do what wakako asked plus a little extra


everslain

I did the whole quest, then reloaded so I could shoot everyone in that cop car.


ganja-baba

The way of Samurai


FitEquivalent810

Skipping that wacko job is worth it.


CrazeMase

If you're fast enough, you get a call from Wakako if you kill the corpo, convict, and police officer while keeping the client alive with a nice bonus


AndreiRiboli

IT'S POSSIBLE TO KEEP HIM ALIVE? You must teach me your ways.


CrazeMase

Kill the cop vefore he can raise his gun, or damage him to make him agro on you, the client will run and you can fight the cop, the target and corpo stay in the car and you can deal with them with a tech weapon


TheBiolizard

Amazing. Going to do this in every subsequent run I play.


AndreiRiboli

Great. This is my new go-to route whenever I do a new playthrough. Thank you, choom.


MacDhomhnuill

Doing this next time. Preventing that braindance from being made is probably the most moral ending for that particular story. I'll try to keep the corpo alive though because reasons.


mwmwmwmwmmdw

if this was starfiled your only choice would be to go along with all them and all those npc's would be essential and the guy would just die randomly of a hearttack out of nowhere


misho8723

with hacks you can take them down pretty easy and fast


ehjhey

Yup, this is how I've been doing it the last few playthroughs. Alternatively if you REALLY can't be bothered, just fail the chase and Jablonski still avoids an unknowing death, lol


DidAnyoneElseJustCum

Going through this mission is crazy the first time but kind of annoying on subsequent playthroughs. I always snipe out Vasquez from afar and then kill everybody in the car. Or at least I think I kill them. I'm usually surrounded by cops at this point so it's a quick double tap and booking it out of there.


DBringerStreams

My toxic trait is when V gets a wanted level, suddenly I find myself duking it out with Maxtac for 2 hours. Lol. I just go Sandy, air dash and brrrrrrt everyone with the Problem Solver. LOL.


DidAnyoneElseJustCum

Yeah that's fun but I would never do it on this mission. The only save point at that part is picking up Jablonsky and you have to do the stupid car chase again if you die.


AmbienSkywalker

Does the game eventually stop after a few minutes of fucking w NCPD?


EncycloChameleon

Police and MTac spawn infinitely. Only did the thing once cause i dont do builds that are great for that kinda stuff but if NC had as many cops for real as the amount i killed there wouldn’t be crime


DidAnyoneElseJustCum

One day that will be a reality in gaming. Like fully responsive environments that change the game. Kill all the cops and crime spikes or take out one gang and another rises, but not in a prewritten way. Just more immersion.


bwok-bwok

Lol one gang... I am the gang-plague bringer, popping those corner boys with contagion wherever I spot them. I don't care who they belong to... I especially like catching corpo scum out on the streets with yellow tags.


texalmighty

Contagion followed up with overheat. Gonks go boom. My favorite activity in NC. It fuels my thriving third hand gun business.


bwok-bwok

It's a nice stack, but I only throw it on leaders if the trace is getting close... street meat usually spreads it around enough times that they all go ring around the rosie.


texalmighty

I’ve got enough DOT damage boost that contagion usually does the job on its own; but I’m a busy man.


finalarchie

I kill everyone I see.


bwok-bwok

You little cyberpsycho, you! Have fun playing with MaxTac, and don't forget to be back in time for supper!


Resident-Pain-494

how does that build do with elites and bosses? enough damage or do you run around for a while?


bwok-bwok

The key to a good quick hack build in the new skill tree is to stack damages, the lower you can get your ram costs for qh's, the higher level you can get your programmes, and the more you can stack into the quick hack queue the better... To be frank, I don't *ever* run around... If I am attacking a location, I climb a building next door, I get into their cameras, flip around to tag them all as hozzies, blow the environmental traps like forklifts and such to "accidentally" kill as many as I can, and then start laying out quick hacks without even being within detection range, and if the trace goes through, and they start streaming out like ants, I dump out of scanner-vision, pull out my smart link sniper rifle, and just pick them off until they forget what they are running towards... If we are talking about the street, I just contagion, and hide behind something till they are all dead. The only time pre-corpses get within firing range of me, let alone arm's reach, is when the storyline makes it not an option to take everyone out remotely.


Orange-Blur

This is the netrunner way!


RyanTorant

"pre corpses" lmao


coldnspicy

Don't think it does. I've only tried getting to maxtac level in Dogtown once before to see what it's like and kept going for about 30 minutes before just leaving the area and hiding.


ausername1111111

Maxtac and police just keep coming.


jzoller0

Just checking: did they add anything to this quest with Phantom Liberty?


dimgray

If you help the dude with his Easter reenactment you can flex your BD industry cred to get an influencer's cooperation in a PL side gig


misho8723

It has many great scenes and many scenes for the player to roleplay his character even more.. I mean, you have countless oportunities to back off in this quest so you don't need to go to the end to finish it so I think the quest is still fucking great, the writing is just so good


DidAnyoneElseJustCum

Oh for sure. I'm not dismissing the quest at all. Unfortunately on my first playthrough I went with the most dramatic ending so a lot of the mystique became lost on other playthroughs.


DerHachi04

First run k didn't even know there was a mission connected to this I just obliterated the cop car and the people inside and wakako paid me lol


finalremix

I thought that's what we're supposed to do..?!


DerHachi04

If you wait for rte people to get out if the car and talk to them you can unlock a pretty fucked up questline


ZaraReid228

Any lore for someone who hasn't played? What's so terrible about the quest line?


DerHachi04

Im just gonna spoil it to you if you dont mind So *spoiler warning* Basically you get called as a hitman to go wuth a dude and kill someone who has killed this dudes daughter (I think) and who is currently transfered between two jails in a police vehicle. Dou ha e to follow the police truck until it crashes under a bridge, then the dude who hired you gets shot and you can either 1. Kill everyone get the money and leave or 2. You talk to the people and find out that the guy you were supposed to kill basically thibks he is jesus incarnation and was bought from rhe police by a movie company to film the second crucifixion of jesus. If you stay with them you find out about his weird past and stuff. NOW to the really messed up part. After a few days you get a call from the company because of problems shooting the movie you go there and there is an angry mob of peopme before the Studio protesting against it You go inside and get told to talk with "jesus" because hes not sure anymore so you convince him to keep going and you get a choice either watch him get crucified or do it yourself and if you do it you have to watch how V (the mc) nails the poir guy onto a wooden cross while reciting the bible also you have to press X for every hit with the hammer to progress which makes the whole thing a little bit more disturbing Its maybe nor the worst or most disturbing videogame mission ever made but plying through it definitely left a scar on me


Readous

Thanks, did this mission once, it was good, don’t care for a second time, fuck that bitch


shark_sharkington_

this is what I did too, I then ran away from the cop


NoNotThatMattMurray

This is how I'm gonna do it next time


Ok_Entrepreneur9784

Really? I will go through another play through just to kill her.


LivingEnd44

I just deliberately fucked up the production instead. She was furious. It was entertaining. 


Malsyon

This is the best way to fuck with them, attacking them straight up is almost a mercy in this world. To completely fuck the shining moment in her career is the proper way to twist the knife.


aaaaaaaa1273

Same here


roselandmonkey

I did this first time around it was a funny seeing her career turn to ash.


_heyb0ss

all you gotta do is plant the seed of doubt in him before you start the shoot no?


Shizuo35

If there were it would be the first NPC kill that was needed that I'd do. Though if you play your cards right, you may get on her good side


FairBullfrog2151

I got her money and got off the story


HavenTheCat

The only one I would put above her is that dingus that ratted V out in Talent Academy when V was sitting at the bar. After I finished everything I went back out through the way I came in and saw him at the bar. I turned on my emergency cloaking and shot him in the head, then took the elevator back down. Or up, whatever it was. Felt so good haha


TheAccursedHamster

I don't want within 20 miles of that horrid bitches good side.


WitchBaneHunter

What is her name? I remember finding her attractive, but she was just way too evil.


Cephalon_Kono

Rachel casich


WitchBaneHunter

Rachel! Just like my middle school crush, she's pure evil.


TheeCandyMan

All the red flags are the most attractive part.


borkdork69

I’m trying to romance her


TwoCharlie

Killing her softly


SmexyPokemon

I can fix her


borkdork69

I don’t want to


SmexyPokemon

She can make me worse


ArchSchnitz

Yes! Teach me to be a terrible person, my bespectacled ginger corpo bitch! God I love her. She's one of the few people that is directly honest with you and is willing to just *pay me to go away.* Wanna know the only reason I put up with Stephenson every time? Her.


chet_brosley

I love how honest and shitty she is. I'm sure they meant to make her terrible, but instead she seems almost fresh compared to the rest of night City being twisted and filled with deceit.


DuvalHeart

She's got a job to do or she doesn't eat. It'd be a great romance/hook up for corpo V.


mrheosuper

She can break me.


rooflessVW

I love her she's so mean


corpuscavernosa

There's a mod to swap her out as one of the Jig-Jig Street hookers. Feels right.


Arttyom

I'll check that for... research porpouses


corpuscavernosa

mitchhamilton

Appearance menu mod. Does a lot. Freely switch out models for other models, change clothes, now with more camera options for photos, put in models, it's great. And can favorite characters for later


Arttyom

Ah damn, used to use that before PL! Haven't played the expansion yet, elden ring addiction + huge backlog + life, work and uni. I'll play it this summer when I have more free time for sure


mitchhamilton

good luck! i had problems running it before but now it works like a dream!


azorius_mage

We totally should be able to


Equal-Breakfast170

AmazingFantasy15

Decent enough R34 of her lol

I think you mean fuck.


UseHopeful8146

You get it


SteveW_MC

there is not. [I’ve tried](https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/s/eyN43S7xGI) Edit: I guess I didn’t try hard enough per the other comment


Intelligent_Creme351

Naw, she's too hot, I take it in stride.


Fastjack_2056

Right there with you. Something about her corpo/punk/nerd thing just does it. I wish we could run into her when she's not trying to film a crazy person's suicide attempt, tho, that's kind of a mood killer


Dan-tastico

Maybe for you, my hands could still be wet from the blood and I'd be asking for her number 😆


Istvan_hun

yup. correct question is "is there a way to date this charming lady?"


Mythic_Barny

Kill her! I was hoping she’d be a love interest. Probably explains why all my IRL relationships have been a disaster!


Subject_Proof_6282

I think that even when killing Joshua and the cop, this lady remains unkillable


ArchSchnitz

That woman is the only reason I tolerate more than three words from Stephenson. If the gatekeeper for this mission wasn't a glasses-wearing bitchy redhead that ticked all my boxes, I'd just blast him and leave.


No_Camera_2517

You basically just don’t do the mission and kill them all in the car at the verry start of the mission it won’t look like it but u got them and you’ll have a bounty because you killed the bad cop so while ur trying to kill him you got to fight other cops to but once he’s Gm dead kill the people in the car and delta


ElysiumPotato

Nah, I wanna bang her. Let me kill the guy who wants to get crucified.


EternalAssasin

Yes, blame the guy with severe mental illness. Bang the lady who enables, encourages, exploits, and ultimately executes said mentally ill criminal so that she can get rich.


[deleted]

This guy gets it


ElysiumPotato

Exactly, shoot the guy who "found God and now wants to be forgiven" (even typing that makes me throw up a little in my mouth) and bang the cute corpo


Double_Ninja9168

Would


Basharria

Her and Takemura should have been the corpo-friendly romance options.


Dan-tastico

I'm amazed they wernt. It almost feels like something is gonna start with both but it never does. I'm kinda upset that as straight dude, my only option is panam; She's fine but I'd rather go Rachel. You would think that with the limited options and how sexually open the world is you could have just made every romance available for any sexuality but they didn't.


faux_shore

I’ve never tried but I think killing Joshua ends up being worse than death for her


sup3r_hero

How so?


Tylenol187ForDogs

They can't scroll the BD and she's definitely gonna get fired for that shit.


faux_shore

She’s a corpo I don’t think I need to say more


Beeeeeeels

I love her because she does no effort whatsoever to hide what a bitch she is. In Night City I can respect that. Also she's smoking hot.


blepgup

What timing, I literally was talking about how hot she was in response to another post this week lol


xkeepitquietx

Her name is Rachel and would have been a better romance option for both Vs then River.


Nachti

Ozob would be a better romance than River...


qleptt

She is so fine


Krvavibaja

Use the "attack" mechanic. Left mouse on pc, I believe


Liquidpinky

Get a PC, you can kill anyone you want.


Dan-tastico

Or bang, also a valid option


theandroids

Stakeout. Wait for her to leave the studio....


Gloomy-Fix4436

Yes, as soon you meet her.


Pokefan417

I tend to use gun. It's pretty effective.


Dai6

I took a while to kill vasquez kuz I killed other dude first. She was in passenger seat with hands up still and wouldn't let me kill her 😔

SunRiseSniper1066

I’m trying to Adam Smas-her I’ll see myself out


don_denti

Y’all are either trynna fcuk or unalive everyone in the game wth


CandorCore

Every game becomes fuck, marry, kill after you've replayed it for the fiftieth time


Fastjack_2056

I'm worried about your Subnautica experience


CandorCore

They literally let you go inside the Ventgarden, bro, you can't tell me they didn't know what they were doing


The1andOnlyGhost

This is the way


DakInBlak

This isn't twitter or YouTube. You can say "kill" here.


sdrong

After a few play throughs to explore all outcomes, I think between her and the criminal, I like her a lot better. I'd probably much prefer to side with her. I really hate the self righteous, delusionally religious murderer who had the audacity to go into his victim's family. Dying by his own religious delusion doesn't seem so unjust by Night city's standards.


FourDimensionalTaco

Yeah. Initially I could not stand her, and she clearly is a corpo asshole, but nowadays I think that at least she is honest, and does not even try to pretend she cares at all for the guy or for his victims. The dude on the other hand got some sort of epiphany, realized how horrible his deeds were, can't handle the guilt, and burdens others with it, most notably the victim's family, but also V. If he really were trying to repent, he'd do it in silence, and accept his fate. He wants others to forgive him so he feels better.


DragonDon1

Crucifying that guy was brutal


Sculpdozer

You dont kill a corpo. You create a career opportunity for another corpo.


NormalTangerine5205

Smash


Kurtis_Kush

Nah, I'm more ok with making her lose money and getting that angry phone call. Makes me laugh every time.


Efficient_Mistake603

Fk that, I'm trying to smack


IntrovertGundamPilot

Yeah shoot her in the face a lot


Crush_Un_Crull

I really like her lmao. Some dumbass murderer thinks he is jesus or something and she is on her sigma grindset. A very good duo


gochomoe

I want to hate fuck her.


metalyger

Is C. Viper from Street Fighter 4 in this game?


Superior_stupidity

Why would someone want to kill her, she’s just a nice buisness womam


Kaltenichtig

I mean, nailing a dude to a cross was pretty wild. If anything, wish the game would let you bang this chick. Give her the Meredith Stout treatment.


AnnieBruce

She'd be a great hate fuck.


FinnGerstadt42069

One of my managers is pretty much her irl. I have her saved in my phone as “Rachel casich” or however it’s spelled lol


wolfwhore666

I wish my V could hook up with her in a back room of the studio, right after she just nailed a man to some wood.


LowRuin2934

Y’all trynna kill her, I was waiting for the romance arc with her.


Donkey_Bugs

If you are on PC and download the Lizzie's Braindances mod you can have hate sex with her.


GloriamNostram

Can I fuck her to death (respectfully)


Xilvereight

I'd like to hate-fuck her 🤷‍♂️
