Kill them all, and let the Blackwall sort them out
Keeping doing you, choom
Cyberware Malfunction + Synapse Burn
Pretty much the go to combo at higher levels
Cyberware malfunction + short circuit + synapse burnout.
Monowire melee finisher halves the cost of suicide
Contagion plus any item or weapon that causes burn to make enemies disappear
Yinglong the only weapon you’ll ever need
Make sure you get body to 15 for adrenaline and try to max out your health as much as possible for overclock.
Apart of cyberware malfunction – synapse burnout
Another very strong combo – contagion + any flaming attack (quichack, flame granade, or flame weapon, like psalm for instance) or any other of your liking
If you’re trying to be stealthy, get Memory Wipe Tier 4 asap, makes everything you queue up afterward not trigger a trace.
Contagion and smart guns all the way, game basically plays itself after konpeki
* Cyberware malfunction into short circuit + the phantom liberty vulnerability perk causes the vulnerabilities to detonate which is really powerful
* Cyberpsychosis is a really fun ultimate quick hack. Probably not optimal, but funny and still useful. Try it out
* you can combo like Reboot Optics and Memory Wipe to reduce the RAM cost of System Collapse to 4. This is powerful for stealth missions
* Netrunners are very versatile! Don’t think you must only use quickhacks. You can definitely go guns blazing with smart weapons, or melee focused with the upgraded Monowire.
* Overclock and its surrounding perks give you a ton of survivability. Grab them
The most OP combination in the game, even on very hard:
Tier 4 memory wipe + tier 2 reboot optics + tier 5 sonic shock. It’s a full stealth system collapse for the price of ~16-18 instead of 28. You can erase an entire building, skulls, mechs and all, from complete stealth without ever entering it by using cameras. Once you unlock iconic sonic shock, total price drops to 14.
The biggest roadblock is the tier 5 sonic shock. However, you can rank up the deck pretty quickly by upgrading rather than waiting for level unlocks to purchase.
The only downside, is it does not work for bosses. For those fights you want cripple movement, cyberware malfunction, overheat and contagion for early game, and synapse burnout + overclock for mid game and on. Synapse burnout has a massive scaling effect and extends the duration of overclock. Everything else is user discretion!
accept that in early game you will mostly shoot your enemies to oneshot them with quickhacks in late game
My go-to combos as a Netgunner:
* Memory Wipe (T4) + Reboot Optics (T2) + Sonic Shock (Iconic or T2) = K.O.
* Contagion + Overheat = BOOM
I would also strongly advise you get Overclock ASAP so that you can use health as RAM, and invest in other perks/cyberware that increase and replenish your RAM and health.
High armor. Maybe blade deflection and dodging. Tech weapons are a good one too
Dodge, dip, dive, duck, and dodge
Maybe throw in some swooshes with sharp stick
My favorite type of char. I always play an aggressive stealth netrunner. Usually I run through the cameras inflicting cyberpsychosis or System collapse or both. And definitely cyberware malfunction to make the “play” that I’m watching a bit more *fun*. *giggles* most times I can take out all enemies without firing a single shot. Mainly I just shoot the ones that are stunned due to the cyberpsychos using non lethal mods…
Dont use burn/posion combo because it ruins the game even at the highest difficulties youre just insanely unstoppable and it makes future playthroughs feel underwhelming by comparison
Contagion when you want to level the field, anything else for fun. It’s basically easy mode. I find it the most fun, it really makes the game feel unique.
