Every Breath You Take - how not to create a mission

[soopytwist]

Seriously, everything about this side job is just poor design. Has you walking about in a confusing location with no clue where BD went because the camera locks V's vision so she can't see, only later realising that's her green circle on the minimap. Still hard to follow her anyway.

Then it seems to be over, nothing happened, except V is on the ground and BM is on the bridge and BLAM! B*tch is dead and V f'ked up. Reload, follow her onto the bridge, stalker draws a gun and BLAM! B*tch is dead. Reload, Stalker draws a gun, V dashes to block bullet, BLAM! B*tch is dead. Reload, try to punch the stalker, BLAM! B*tch is dead. Got no cyberdeck? F'k you then, b*tch is dead. Got a cyberdeck but no passive quick hack like system collapse? F'k you then, stalker dies, BM lives but BM is p*ssed at V for killing the stalker. Got System Collapse quick hack? F'k you, it kills the stalker anyway.

Poor design from the start.

So, the odds are stacked against you and more likely than not, Blue won't be happy. Well, you can't always have what you want.
But then again, it IS possible to not kill the attacker. You probably have to pay more attention to what's actually lethal in CP2077. For example, it's short circuit that's actually non-leathal (or cripple movement, reboot optics, of course) ... and then you can have non lethal weapons. But then again if you enemy is already unconscious and you hit them again, they may still die. So you need to stop in time. But that's true for all the Cyberpsycho missions, too.

Little spoiler: The target is red when you scan the starting area

Lots of NPC's were red when I scanned. Maybe because this is late game and I've got optics that do that? I dunno. Anyway I lost Blue for quite a while.

I use Overheat for the cyberpsycho's. Didn't think to use that on Blue's stalker though. Even so, screwed if you don't have a cyberdeck installed so I guess your only other option is shoot her. Still bad design in my opinion.

You can stealth choke her out. You just have to wait for her to draw the gun then take her down.

Synopsis and Cripple is what I mostly use on Cybers, when on overclock, they drop harder than most elites do using that. And yes, it is non lethal too

Well, you could use a non-lethal weapon like a baseball bat or any old gun you have modded with a Pax mod. Of course in both of those cases, you have to make sure to stop in time. (If you keep hitting an unconscious person on the floor, they may still die.)
