Chase Coley, cyberpsycho mission. Not sure if I just regularly build a certain type of playstyle that is not conducive to beating this guy, but he is regularly one of the hardest, if not THE hardest, enemy I deal with every playthrough. I only play on Very Hard, and he just destroys me multiple times. It usually takes me several attempts and some “roof top cheesing” to beat this mf’er lol. Also, I play with LifeStyle and Gang mods, so sometimes he’s not hackable. Well Done CDPR…
Not my picture, just grabbed it off google images.

Taking him down without killing him is stupid hard, and I play a build that’s all about bring the pain.
Osniffable
There is a freeway overpass nearby. Go up to the high ground and snipe him down to a few %. Then finish him off with a non-lethal shock weapon.
Jeoshua
Sneak up on him, pull some cables, sandy or kerez away, hide, repeat. Makes the remainder of the fight MUCH easier.

I never had any real problems with him. Played a pure Netrunner in 1.0 to 1.6 and he was down quickly with Contagion/Overheat and Smartgun (think it was Skippy). Now in 2.12 with a shotgun/Sandevistan build I just killed him this weekend with under 10 close up headshots. And like every other cyberpsycho, he stays at 1% and you have to actively kill him if you want to. I play on hard.
Fit_Home_1842
I killed him by accident.

You can drop him with quickhacks.
DragonDon1
Erebus shows no mercy
DedicatedDetective34
You can peek in and out from the roof until he exhausts his attack. Once he’s vulnerable, unload on him. Rinse and repeat until he reaches 2%, then apply Short Circuit.
Swimming-Marketing20
Never had an issue with him. I reflexively climb up things and the dude just can’t follow. Get on the roof of the shop and just shoot down
Devaclis
I stand on the roof of the building next to him and overheat him until he cries like a lil bebbeh
StayAppropriate2433
I just go berserk with gorilla arms for all cyberpsychos. Never failed me yet.
Vintenu
Y’all got problems with the mech dudes? They’re always so slow you can just literally run circles around them
Negative-Flan-2260
Just shot it him from the roof top
Klutzy-Bee-2045
Slight skill issue and a bad character spec cause him to body you
Zephyr2209
I always snipe him from atop the small buildings in the area. He is too aggressive for that small arena.
Neon-Curse
Honestly just sneak up behind him and do a sneak attack, fall back, do it again after his aggro goes away and he’s down but alive
Maximus_Games
Pure Netrunner build corpo V.
Brain sparks go brrr.
Try hitting me when I’ll fry your brain before we even lock eyes, choom.
JACKtheGRINNER
Just jump on the roof and shoot thru gaps
BrightPerspective
I always end up playing corner games with him. it’s cheap, but it works.
BLCKWZZRD
Stand on a roof he cant hitt you then
Maverick_Raptor
I wish there were some cool laser weapons we could use like these guys. Not a whole new weapon type or anything, just a couple iconics (other than Erebus)
Axeorsist
I fought him just now. Defeated him in a face to face fight though I’m playing on normal mode. I used Fenrir and spammed CW also and a few grenades.
Treyman1115
Just jump onto a roof and move back when he shoots
Scary_Pilot
Apologies for being late but I just faced him yesterday, and I wanted to add my two cents. Get yourself the reinforced tendons to double jump onto the roof and shoot him from there. Back away from the edge of the roof when he shoots the Lazer and you’ll be fine, choom.
Slaiart
Just get up on the roof and take cover when you need to reload/ready the next attack. Probably the easiest cyberpsycho to deal with tbh
CarbonCramps
First time playing. He just got stuck in the wall of the garage and didn’t move. EZ
InflnityBlack
Unironically the strongest ennemy in the game, if you were to fight one of these in an open field with no cover it would be the hardest bossfight in the game by a very large margin
Huge_Aerie2435
If you are careful, you can stealth takedown him once, then jump over the buildings where he can’t get you and de-aggros, then do it again. It takes 2 stealth hits to finish, but it is relatively easy in comparison to other options. He is one of the hardest fights in the game, but he can be taken out without really fighting.
roninwaffle
I just hop up on the roof and peek over the edges and shoot him, then duck back when he starts a-firin’ his lazor
TheCatInTheHatThings
When I first did his mission, I realised I could just walk out the gate and snipe him through there, and he wouldn’t fit. Took a while, but his was probably the easiest of the cyberpsycho missions.
RosieQParker
Quake works great on him.
Wuytho
Dude I hate the other guy wearing this suit, he is so much more annoying to kill because it’s a more of an open place so it’s harder to lose him because he chases you for ages
MirthMannor
I mean… he doesn’t _look_ like he is supposed ot be easy.
Hell; I wish you could pair some of the minibosses against Smasher and see how they do.
googlecdox
idk, offed him with quickhacks from that garage roof, he can’t get there
Sithicas
Shots to the head from the rooftop
youthanasia138
I stay on the roof where he can’t touch me
Decaying-Moon
I actually worked him on max difficulty with the thermal katana. Heavy attack lunge lights him on fire, and if I remember right (haven’t played in a couple months) burning targets take extra damage from the weapon. Get him down to a few percent and let the burning damage do the rest.
Heavy attack tends to stunlock normal sized cyberpsychos too. It’s my go-to anti-cyberpsycho weapon.
TMANBULLET
Me punching him in the face and he dies
CatsLeMatts
Centaur mechs are remarkably tough tbh, way more dangerous than the typical ones if you ask me.
jaghtz_lutein
There’s hella cover in there. He can’t shoot through the beams. Once you get him low enough health you can get behind him and disconnect his cable for a pacifist kill
Secret-Assistance-10
I never had any problems personally but maybe it’s because so far I’ve mostly played Sandy and Mantis blades.
Josh4R3d
I hate the boss fights. I wish there was a way to have non boss combat set to very hard and boss combat be set to normal or hard lol.
