Are quickhacks OP?

[Soulreaver]

I just started playing again and at lvl 4 on very hard I can pretty much decide how long I want to fight the police.

MaxTechs are the only ones I need to avoid.

Sometimes I even do a bit of katana meele. My main damage output is by burn quickhacks. Right now I have 9 slots and can pretty much spam the burn quickhack or blind a bunch of them.

I realy enjoy the new police system but this worries me a lot.

You have nine quickhack slots when the max is eight on all the T5 cyberdecks? What are you using?

[Snobby Hobo]

They're extremely strong for sure, but the regular Overload will fade into relative obscurity quite fast. The ones that spread are pretty insane throughout the entire game.

Then again at Very Hard it's mostly fine. You will take 100+ damage per hit quite regularly so any enemy can kill you fast if you're not careful.

They can be. Early on not so much. But once you unlock the queue and get some higher tier hacks you can do some crazy stuff. my current MO is using Sonic Shock to mask some other hacks to delete people "stealthy" form cameras

9 I think memory slots they are called. Those that recharge and you need several of to use a quickhack. Probably used the wrong word... sorry for that.

9 RAM is what you're talking about. Quickhacks are pretty decent with the right investment. What's way more OP is counter-hacking netrunners through walls once you get the perk that any quickhack you upload to a netrunner hits all their allies. System Collapse instantly knocks out an entire group of enemies, and is a stealth quickhack that is untraceable.

TBH the most "OP thing I have found with quickhacks is that if you have a strong overheat or other skill, you can one shot the drivers out of pursuit vehicles.
On some of the harder car missions on "very hard" I resorted to just burning the driver out of each car as soon as they pursued me.
I use knives and you can't throw them from vehicles, so burns it is.

Any build is OP if you invest in the right skills and item then learn how to play it.

Knives are OP.
Katana's are OP.
Smart Weapons are OP.
Tech Weapons are OP.
Quickhacks are OP.
Stealth is OP.
Pistols are OP.

Yeah, it's a game. Most games give power fantasy.

Didn't think of that, gonna have to try it.
I normally just use the handbrake hack.

If you can't use self destruct on the car there are a few good ones to pull on the driver. My personal fav if reboot optics half the time they will crash.

DIdn't know there was a self destruct, sounds cool. Latest one i got is take over and i dont think it would be a good idea to use that while driving lol.

I swear the vehicle quickhacks are blocked on every last vehicle you'd want to use it on.

[5ean5ean]

Everything is OP with enough investment.

It only works if they have grenades AFAIK so it doesn't work on every enemy.
