Enemies detect you if you don't take down them directly with quickhacks. You cannot take down enemies with contagion anymore silently. Contagion feels also weaker, but it was crazily powerful to a point where I could take down a whole squad during the secret ending with a single hack.
For the rest: If you are investing in ultimate quickhacks, then the netrunner build works as well as it ever did.
If they could do to you the things you can do to them via quickhacks, that would be much more interesting from a gameplay perpective
Nope, it's still entirely workable rather than being ridiculously OP.
As oppossed to be a demigod of hacks and kill them just like that
Hackers should be dangerous, and a priority to incapacitate
Cool, thanks
Was it OP? It might sound like that, however the game has blade weapons: a complete imba with ton of damage in one swing with lot of other OP perks, etc. I find it really funny that in a world with the guns and quickhacks most effective weapon is katana. Did notice how everybody in the previous messages was talking about the blades instead of let's say guns? Tells you everything you need to know. Bottom line if you specialize in only in blades your character can defeat anything, if you specialize in firearms you probably need to specialize in different branches of firearms and something else and you cannot win the game if you just specialize in netrunner skills. Or maybe you can but it would take forever.
With all this said in my opinion the reason they nerfed nethacks to force you to grind since lot of people were complaining that the game is "too short compared to Witcher 3"
Katanas are good, but you need to commit to them. Partially, melee weapons are bad until level 20ish. Partially, you need either 16 body or 16-18 cool (or both) to be sure you aren't flatlined directly. You need 16-18 reflex because you will be relying on the reflex tuner. You need 18 in tech to have the necessary gear. And you still need specialized perks.
If you put in as much points into pretty much anything, it will work similarly. Blunt weapons are similarly good. For shotguns, you have the Sovereign, the Headsman or an epic Satara. For assault rifles, there is a variety: Moron Labe, Psalm, Fenrir, Yinglong, Problem solver, Widowmaker, Overwatch, O'Five, Breakthrough. For pistols, there is the Comrade's Hammer, Skippy or any of the special revolvers.
If you are good at shooting, a build using Moron Labe and the legendary shock quickhack (possibly with the legendary reboot optics) is pretty much as quick and silent, as a netrunner build.
Fascinating notes to that mod as well. Nice one, thank you.
Not true, even on day one level 50 netrunner with any epic quickhacks wouldn't survive on the "Don't fear the reaper" mission without heavy investing into some other weapon types. Katana build could do that mission in no time without firing single shot/use quickhack.
Also what is wrong with being able to kill all scavs in one contagion if you are level 50 and you invested into it this heavily. And again with katana you can do it no time even everyone is going to be shooting and hacking you (don't trust me then watch the videos on how people going through the final mission with katana only). It is all about grind that's only reason I see: b/c people complained that there is not enough content and instead of adding content they just forced you to kill everyone one by one if you want to stay hidden or grind skills to be invested into something else.
Don't fear the reaper is balanced for endgame. Epic quickhacks won't cut it, you needed legendary quickhacks and you also need the Tetratronic Rippler MK4 for obvious reasons to boost your ultimate quickhacks. The robots in the basement could be taken down with a single contagion a week after the launch, and for everything else, you had System Reset, Suicide and Short Circuit. It was quick and effective.
There was only one, quite crucial reason to bring a backup weapon, and that was Smasher. However, I did take down Smasher with the Sir John wand during the Reaper as the ultimate powertrip, and it was done by the time the (second level) synaptic accelerator did wear off. Ok, I did have legendary Short circuit with a body of 20, but still.
(don't trust me then watch the videos on how people going through the final mission with katana only)
I don't need a video, I did that myself. The Katana build is great, but other endgame builds are similarly strong. Again, Smasher could be taken down with an easter egg "weapon" that vibrates your controller. While I did put in some points into blunt weapons, it was a pure (str/int/tech max + rest cool) netrunner build where perks are needed elsewhere.
What build were you using for the reaper?
