He is the bodyguard. He is standing guard at the elevator with a clear view of the windows etc.
There’s no way a tank like him doesn’t have infrared vision. He most definitely knows we’re there but he’s only going to act if given the order, considering how tight of a leash Arasaka has on him.
He can’t see you because you are hiding. If he could see you he wouldn’t be standing around
He’s looking at you
You’re behind one-way glass, he isn’t looking at you
He knows
He 100 percent knew Jackie and V were hiding in that exact spot
Chooms use the kiroshi mod that highlights enemies when you are detected, you’ll see that infact, he knows you are there…
Disassociating between sets. Very normal for gym bros.
My guess is the Atom smasher knew what Yori was up to and decided to add you two to the plot. If he just outed you right then and there it would ruin the whole situation.
It could also be that he just didn’t GAF and just wanted to see what you would do your pretty insignificant to him at this point so its not like he would have felt threatened by you .
He is Yorinobu’s Stand
He see’s you-
Hes waiting for his shift to end.
Pretty sure back when the threat detector mod for kiroshi was in the game it showed when enemies could see you and would highlight red. His whole model was red the whole time so he could def see you😭😭
He’s scripted to look at the player, he doesn’t see you, just the way the game is scripted for his later appearances
He 100% knows you’re there, but he’s not doing anything because he’s HOPING that V and Jackie do something so Araksaka let him off the chain to go after them, it’s why he’s straight out the building and barrelling towards you as you try to escape.
Sure, he’s head of security but he’s fucking bored. He’s just an absolute psycho, he enjoys the waiting game and he wants to get gunning for you.
* Detecting…
* Gonks x 2
* Weapons: 1 pistol
* Threat level: 0.1
* Standing instructions: prevent harm to Saburo
* Action: fucking none bro, like what are they going to do seriously?
I like to think his optics are good enough to see you there, but he doesn’t care about Arasaka enough to do anything about it.
I know this has gotten discussed a lot over the years and I’m going to offer my two cents: The crawlspace behind the TV may be an intentional safe room. In a world where seeing through walls isn’t an absurd possibility I think it likely that one of the most protected individuals in the world likely has a panic room that mods can’t see through. Knowing this Adam Smasher, being a body guard is keeping an eye on the one place his tech can’t see into. He knows it’s there though, so he stares at it for any sign of movement/trouble.
Adam smasher doing that “mommy my fart is on the floor” stance 😂😂
He’s just standing there…
MENACINGLY!!!
It’s a bug. Smasher never appears in the actual world, so whenever you encounter him it’s a story event. He’s coded to always know where you are so they can’t get messed up, but in doing so he just stares at you during this part.
He can see V. He just doesnt give a shit at the moment. Properly following his orders. A fly to swat later. At least thats how I HC it.
he is watching you , you can see it with the cyberware that lets you see who “knows your position” or smth like that
Peekaboo

He can see you but. he doesn’t see you as a threat. therefore he doesn’t say anything. but it is still one of the scariest moments in the entire game
Because he is menacing.
He’s just standing there, menacingly
Mom I frew up
He can see you if you look closely he’s actually staring at you with his optics scanning you
So theres two sorts of answers here, the lore answer and the game mechanics answer.
First, the mechanical answer. The way main bosses are programmed in Cyberpunk 2077 is to always know where you are. This prevents stuff from breaking mid fight. However, the devs essentially removed his AI that makes him chase you so that they can pose and animate Smasher for the scene. Of course, because 77 is a glitchy ass game, earlier builds still showed him as hostile if you scanned him and aware of you because the game was broken. The devs have also confirmed as much and removed the outline now, but his head still stares directly at you because, again, broken game.
Now for the lore answer. Smasher simply doesn’t have the cybereyes that allow you to scan through walls like this. Canonically, his cybereyes are built for straight combat. He has no reason to have those special eyes. Thus, canonically, he doesn’t know you’re there. He may have a hunch because he’s a paranoid mfer, but he’s not going to start punching holes in his boss’s wall on a minor gut feeling alone. If I remember correctly, his eyes have upgrades for normal scans (not through walls), low light vision (and the accompanying upgrades), a targeting scope, and that’s basically it.
Tl;dr – He doesn’t chase you because lorewise he doesn’t know you’re there (confirmed by the devs). Anything that would suggest otherwise is because the game is broken af.
Smasher is a mercenary. So technially, he’s paid to protect something, so we can wonder, if he knows, does he really care ?
