Just a day in the life of a merc!

    I was running the Waiting for Dodger mission. As I always do, I was going through all the computers I find. On one of them I found an email from one thug to another saying he’d found an uncrackable shard from some corpo. Then, in another room, I found an encrypted Company Expense Account shard.

    “Ooh!” Thinks I, and cracks my knuckles. “Free eddies!” Of course it was nothing for my V to crack the encryption and liberate the impressive number of eddies within. This whole mission is a riot.

    How many eddies, you wonder? Click here to find out!
    1. Yep, a whole 14 eddies. lol.

      That’s an absurd amount of eddies for a side gig! I missed that shard even though I tend to take a glance at every screen too.

      I went through and took everyone out with overheat. Still got the good end since it’s nonlethal damage.

          Also non lethal. However! Do not use contagion and overheat at the same time if you don’t wanna murder people. In one order (contagion then overheat) it explodes and is lethal. In the other, it seems that if one DoT tick incapacitates the enemy and then the other DoT ticks after that, it’s also lethal.

            Wow, I had no idea about any of this and can’t recall seeing it in the description! Where did you learn this? Thanks btw

              Hundreds upon hundreds of hours of trial and error. CP2077 is probably my second favorite game of all time, so I’ve played the ever living crap out of it.

              This one is more obvious, but Sonic Shock + any single target hack = untraceable, unnoticeable hack. Just don’t use Contagion or anything that can spread (unless the jig is up anyway and you’re in combat) or else the spread can begin a trace. But it’s funny to watch someone burst into flames in front of their allies and their allies just go “got bright in here all of a sudden.”

      Haven’t looked at what could happen. It was indeed hilarious. I’m assuming the good end has hot dogs. Because the hot dogs are fantastic.
