I like to imagine they have the same scanning tech as I do and I get flagged as “potential imminent death”. Kinda like when you get close to a Cyberpsycho and the health bar appears. They know it’s show time. If I didn’t I would still lose immersion. Harder to justify it at lower levels but I’m maxed out atm.

“The NCPD is an underfunded, underequipped, understaffed organization where every officer puts their life on line each day. It’s no surprise then that most badges in the NCPD have lost faith in their thankless jobs. An atmosphere of apathy and corruption pervades the department, while many officers on the street react with brutality and aggression due to the stress and nature of their work.”

Yeah the new police chase system installment from 2.0 seems to have altered their AI. They weren’t this bad in 1.6 I don’t think.

Yet i can bump sholders with random gangs and they are like “woops my bad”

Not trying to say anything but…. is your V by any chance black?

I’ve been able to bump into cops and crash into them slightly and not have them shoot at me

Bro, we talking about muthafukking Cyberpunk 2077 or Animal Crossing?

Seems pretty realistic I’d say lmao
BillyTheRascal
Are you black, sir?

You scan gonks and can see their rap sheet and bounty. I assume that cops have an even more detailed system and let’s be honest, few have a longer rap sheet than V. If I were a cop and I realized who was next to me and how much they were worth, I too would probably decide to go for it. What does a cop in NC have to lose?

What mods are you running?
I only ever have cops get proximity aggressive if I roll up on an actual crime scene. Otherwise I have to run into them to get a reaction on the street. Don’t know what’s mucked up in your game, but that does appear to be buggy behavior.

I watched an ncpd car t bone a civilian then get out and shoot til the car blew up before getting back in theirs and driving off

Cuz it’s a dystopian, corpo run, authoritarian society.

Looks like a regular US cop to me

I would love a mod that implements a justice system where you can get arrested, have a bounty stick to you, and just not immediately be murdered for walking on a square of sidewalk.

Funny how ppl are trying to come up with “lore accurate” reasons why but at the end of the day, its all down to just to this game having dogshit cop system

It’s a fault in the combat system that CD Projekt either can’t or forgot to fix.

That’s just how cops are in America. Nothing unusual there.
Wrong_Television_224
Kinda depends. What part of the US are you in currently? Oh…you meant…in the game. Sorry.

Off topic, but I think that there should he a fine system in cyberpunk. So it’s less gta where the cops practically immediately start shooting but more like mafia where you just lose money

In their world, if you were a cop and someone started tailing you for no reason?
I’d shoot first and ask later.

Is your V black? Pewpew.

Might be a mod conflict effecting AI of NPC “enemy” characters. This never happens to me unless I’m beheading some gonk ganger for beating someone else up or opening up on a group in a “reported crime” area.
You’ve got to really get aggressive with the NCPD to aggro.

seems pretty on par with NC tbh

Real answer: Piss poor programming
