V really is built different

    Its thanks to the relic and the “upped skill” of Johnny Silverhand. Believe his memory was altered which caused an unknown side effect which made him more powerful

    But… Isn’t V a total society menace, killing half of the night city, obliterating most of the gangs, killing arasaka soldiers just because they are working and splitting people in half just to test his new blade arms or letal wire? Sometimes put a all star police chase just to “test a new build” and see if he can kill all? Making gang members kill each other with cyberpsychosis? And, in the end, using so many toxic, fire, electric burn and other ways to melt horribly people just because they are in his “wrong side”?

    V is the worst psychopath in all night city… And he doesn’t even need all cybernetics…

    David was a kid when he first chipped the sandy. Didn’t he start goin cyberpsycho because Maine’s old cyberware was faulty?

    Considered how V flatlined and is only alive technically because they’re a half zombie with their own brain slowly being taken over by Soul Killer? Yeah, I’m pretty sure we’ve gone cyberpsycho 50x over by the end of the story lol

    It’s canon (I don’t remember the source trust me bro) that David’s sandy was heavily modified and a prototype model.

    It’s also canon about Silverhand/relic sharing the load.

    because cyberpsychosis has much less to do with having too much chrome and more to do with being mentally ill

    >V is a different case. We don’t know V’s background, but even if V was a full on Corpo, they were able to hold it together even when they ended up with a dead Rockerboy in their heads (Yah, tell me about it; Johnny Silverhand’s been in my head for the last three decades.) **In fact, having Johnny in their head probably helped V, because Siilverhand’s rage and attitude probably acted as a buffer for the psychological hits V is taking. It’s like having a time share with a guy who’s already half cyberpsycho and doesn’t mind if V slaps stuff on their shared body**; he’s already crazy and violent.

    Per [Mike](https://www.reddit.com/r/LowSodiumCyberpunk/comments/xklzsx/comment/ipffmf4/). He also discusses David, too.

    My head canon is “it’s the nanobots in V’s brain”

    They repaired a bullet hole, now they are enhancing V’s abilities and letting V use way more chrome than most people can handle.

    V is allready a cyberpsycho and its name is johhny

  10. It’s not just overuse, he’s well beyond his cyberwear limit. It degrades you over time and appears to surge when power is drawn.

    Oh wow I wonder what unique thing V has that could be tanking cyberpsychosis. Would probably be something worth stealing in a heist or something.

    Might be interesting to have a mechanic where the more implants you have, the higher the risk of a cyberpsycho episode. Reminds me of the malaria mechanic in Far Cry 2.
