Non lethal mods in 2.0

[CoachMac]

Ok i have finished the game but playing 2.0 i am absolutely unable to understand how i can enable non lethal mods which are a must have for Cyberpsychos gigs.

How can i basically equip my character or weapons with such mods ?

I gave up on non-lethal mods and just went the stealth route and non-lethal take down by grabbing them. Works for all but I think two of them, for those I use a baseball bat when they are around 5% and did single hit attacks until they are incapacitated.

With this approach, I recommend putting non-lethal mods on heavy-hitting semi-auto guns, like a revolver or sniper rifle.

with automatic SMGs and rifles: Can be tricky in the middle of a fight. Just know when stop squeezing the trigger. Non-lethal smgs can easily kill if you hold onto the trigger too long after the enemy is done.

with shotguns: one pellet might incapacitate the target, but the other pellets in that same shot/spread will likely kill if they register after the incapacitating hit.

Pax reduces damage by a percentage I think. If you have a powerful sniper rifle one shot can still be fatal. I've tried it so I know. I always use hacks from a distance in stealth then finish with a non-lethal one like Short Circuit.

1. cyberpsychos are boss type enemies. you gotta actually shoot them when they're down to kill them

2. if you hit someone in the head and it kills them, maybe... don't? shoot for the chest or smth...

Just freeze the Psychos from a secure distance with a quickhack and then knock them out easily from behind. (works in every enemy state and is indipendend of their health bar). You do not even need to have skill points invested in Intelligence for using this quickhack.

I'm pretty sure even if you use lethal weapons, cyberpsychos will by default be knocked unconscious so you don't actually need nonlethal mods on your weapons for them.

Incorrect, sir. I am currently playing with the latest update and used a lethal weapon. Tried it several times to make sure I wasn't hitting them after downing them. They absolutely, 100%, will die if you use a lethal weapon. However, that isn't a guarantee. For example, even during normal fighting, lethal weapons will sometimes fail to outright kill somebody. Even if it's a critical headshot. They'll go down obviously, but roll around as if you used non-lethal attacks on them. I'd say that happens like 20-30% of the time.

Weird. I must've been getting lucky or something because I wasn't taking care to keep them alive and they usually never died for me. The one that I did have die on me, I feel like he probably died from other combatants who he was also fighting.

[MaverickHL]

Usually most cyberpsycho deaths after doing the last blow is due to a damage over time effect. So if your last hit had poison or shock, then the DOT will kill them, not the last hit.

Ever since I found out (in this topic) that cyberpsychos get knocked out instead of killed when you first drop them, I've just been hitting them with everything, no attempt at nonlethality. And yeah, they just get knocked out. You have to keep doing damage to them (or possibly KO them with a massively overkill headshot) to actually kill them.

in the beginning of 2.0 they did not die from lethals not sure if the 1 update we got "fixed" that but after doing research I cant find the difference between killing them or not except the text you get from reggi

Most can be taken out with stealth, distracting them then choking them out.

The only 2 that really stick out to me that couldnt be stealthed were Lilith? with the mantis blades that emerges from the ice tub, and the katana dude that drops down from the ceiling to kill another gangster in front of you.

What.. you can stealth instakill the cyberpsychos?
GTFO... I am going to have to try this tonight.
