Stealth Sande with Optical Camo, predator style. I like being creative with setting up diversions to pull people out of groups and sight lines then grabbing them from the shadows before anyone sees a thing.
That said, I’ll go guns blazing if I’m feeling lazy or just want to blow some people up.

Stealth until im discovered then go full gun blazing mode (i suck at being stealthy)

Stealth only for as long as it’s convenient. At some point, everyone has to die. Better to start at the beginning of the line than halfway and let the assholes surround you.

Pacifist Stealth. Even Smasher, let that fucker live knowing he was beaten to an inch of his pathetic life and now has to live with the consequences.

Wait so is stealth…. an option?

Stealth Blazing.
It’s amazing how many electrical and equipment malfunctions can happen all at once whenever V needs to go somewhere.

Often I start stealth then slam it on. See how many I can drop before Sandy runs out, then switch from suppressed weapons to something more… robust.

I always do stealth until I can’t anymore. I love trying to take everyone out silently without weapons. Watching it would probably be quite boring, but playing it feels exhilarating to me

Both. Sneaking is fun but there are fewer rewards on offer compared to Deus Ex or Dishonored. Guns blazing is nearly always more visceral and satisfying even if there’s a “clean” way. A shotgun in the face is a universally accepted way to say “no” and it’s effectively displayed here. I always like to keep one handy for close encounters. Testera time, boom, you’re dead, boom, you’re dead, repeat until they’re all dead. Then you discover Breakthrough or Rasetsu, and suddenly shotguns are just like so “yesterday”. Distance is the new “in-yer-face”. Dammit they’re both so much fun. Yeah, guns blazing has a lot going for it.

I love that the game lets me do both simultaneously; stealth just means the radar indicator never says “combat.” No need to squat walk everywhere, just kick in the door running and kill everything in the way with a “quiet” weapon as you tear through the area. As long as nobody shoots back or charges at you, you have achieved stealth. Of course, if you’re not fast enough, it helps to have a loud, high powered weapon ready as a backup.

Violent stealth. Kill everyone. Is it stealth if no one is left to say anything?

Stealth or Soundtrack is really what you’re asking and I’ll choose the soundtrack 9/10 times.

Is it stealth if I’ve killed everyone before they realize I’ve gone guns ablazing?
Jimm_Kekw
kill like 2 guys via stealth, get bored and then start running around like a maniac with gorilla arms

A little of both.

Nothing quite tickles my gizzard like walking into a crime den with a HB70 and just reducing everything in sight to gibs. I play very Smashercore

I usually play as a Katana build, so I used to go more of a stealth approach.
But since 2.0 where a well timed block deflects bullets back at people, I’m just running into gunfights, swords blazing, so to speak
darth_smokesalot
Allways guns blazing unless the game makes me do stealth,I see so many people putting stealth and I get it, its another play style and nothing wrong with it,but I just don’t see why I need to waste 15 mins sneaking around a place,when I can literly kill every one in 2 mins flat without stealth.At least in cyberpunk it isn’t usuly too bad when u don’t do it stealthily when u have to,but games that FORCE you to do stealth or you fail are the worst In my book.

Stealth. Then legendary contagion from afar.

Neither. I prefer Unga Bunga Gorilla Mode.

I prefer guns blazing but steath feels more rewarding. Plus I like the bonuses I get for handling gigs like a professional
zackumar25
for some gigs take control of cameras, distract and initiate overload for some, then go guns blazing with the leftovers

Stealth got me through Very Hard for quite a while, but Dogtown broke me. You can’t stealth the president out of the Barghest ambush at the crash site. So I started adding combat capability to my netrunner build.
Now, I walk slowly into the heart of the enemy position, unconcealed, apparently unarmed. They stare at me, and I watch threat indicators fill, and fill, and fill, then–
*Bleep.*
Three of them become a statistic in the time it takes to upload a quickhack. Then, as the survivors fumble for their guns, I disappear into thin air.
The last thing they see is the gleaming edge of a katana.

I mean, that’s how it’s supposed to go. Half the time I fuck it up somehow and have to air-dodge frantically into cover. But when it works, it’s the single greatest power fantasy in gaming.

Start off with stealth, fuck it up some way or the other, say fuck it and then go all guns blazin’.
Murder
Everything
Never had the patience for stealth
I prefer stealth, as why would I ever play fair when life or death is involved.
But recently I have been trying the play style of just walk in and mess stuff up.
It is actually rather fun and a different vibe
It still counts as stealth if there are no witnesses left alive /j
Silenced Kongu to start with Lexington XMod once things pop off
Rock out with your Glock out!
stealth when netrunner, blazing when guns.
Sandevistan, throwing knife, katana, silenced smart pistol ✨
