Why would water beat him? He literally chases you in the rain.

I believe in 2077 implants are waterproof, and even if some moisture get inside of hermetic installation, you can visit a ripper to clean it and make it work again. A thing people usually forget about – getting implants is expensive not only because the cost of installment and the implant itself, but also maintenance. There was a case of an french man, who lost his own hand and voluntereed for experimental surgery to get a new one from a giver. After, i believe months he returned to the hospital and asked the doctors to remove it, because it was too expensive and problematic to maintain the transplant limb and keep it in good condition.
He’s already water cooled, all you’d be doing is giving him a nice refreshment

He’s…probably water risistant. I’d be more worried about all those loose wires hanging off him.

The short version? It wouldn’t work.
Cyberware is almost a hundred years old by 2077. Commercially closer to 75 years, but I couldn’t tell you the exact numbers.
In that time there has been nuclear incidents, geological and ecological disasters. Nuclear proved to be an issue following 2023, but they squared away what to do in case of rain (and acid rain) long before that.
Smasher is in one of the most top of the line bodies with personal touches. He could *live* in a car wash and be fine. His bio system could even survive being under water for hours.

Also ignoring the fact that his spin is completely exposed lol V can force hydraulic doors open but not rip smashers spine from his body

Canonically, none of the vehicles used to access the tower in the various endings had cup holders, thus denying V what would have been the most effective weapon against Smasher.
