How fun is a full int net runner build?

[H3avy]

Ive seen videos where you just wipe out enemy compounds without even firing a shot. Doesnt that get boring kinda fast?

My only regret ist that there isn't a "mass suicide" quickhack and or demon. Having to suicide people one by one takes too much time.

Ah well, modding will probably fix that one.

Just call it the Jonestown Jumble or Heaven's Gate, I'm not picky tbh.

If fun to you is completing wiping out bases from perfect safety through all walls (on any difficulty)...
Then it's very fun...

But if you don't like being completely overpowered, it might make the game too easy...

So basically stop levelling and not pick up any items then?

With the proper deck and legendary suicide it is 2 at a time. So is cyberpsychosis and detonate grenade.

Then considering how fast your recharge is long term, you can often hit 2 more before those 2 drop. You really don't need a mass suicide, you can already achieve a greatly accelerated rate of suicide without one.

If you regret doing suicide one by one, I highly suggest a better deck. You could be easily doubling your output on that front already, without having to ask for a modder to step in.

As far as full hacking getting boring (for other who speak of that), its just a matter of changing things up. Instead of hitting them with contagion, hit them 2 at time with cyberpsychosis, then start randomly detonating grenades while they are fighting each other. Definitely one way to liven things up.

My first build is a jack of all trades - which means I have a lot of options and can adjust pretty easily to different missions. So there are encounters where I lurk unseen, and hit groups of enemies with Contagion and Synaptic Overload until they're all dead. Or I'll clear out a nest of Wraiths with quickhacks and a sniper rifle. I beat a melee levelboss by blinding her with Reboot Optics and then shooting her in the head repeatedly. This is with a character that is mid-20s level, with no stat above 10. Midrange deck, 18 RAM.

There seems to be two types of players on this board I'm noticing: 1.) want to be a god or 2.) want a challenge. If you're type #1, full netrunner is definitely for you, though you'll have to put some time in to ascend to godhood. If you're type #2, you'll have fun early on, but once you start getting legendary decks and ultimate quickhacks, all the challenge disappears, regardless of the difficulty level.

Still not quite what I am looking for. It should be synchronized, maybe preceeded by a little dance number. Or screaming. Either of those two would be fine, but every squad memeber should be affected.

I think my 4th (femme fatale stealth killer) is going to end up being the more hybrid hacker for me.

So far my street kid, as a super heavyweight brawler, uses a berzerk operating system, and thus does not hack at all.

Likewise, my nomad uses Sandevesian (did I spell it right that time?), as a tech and grenade blow everything up, but also uses slow motion and crit to either put distance before rocketing, or unloading clips before enemies can turn set up, also is not doing any hacking at all.

However my male corpo is that full hacker that barely even pulls out a gun.

So thinking I should make that 4th the one that does some hacking, but doesn't necessarily specialize in it. Will get around to that, once they fix thrown knives to be more appealing, and see how well rebooting optics and seeing how many necks can be snapped before it wears off, works for the stealthy ♥♥♥♥♥.
