Getting Started with Combat and Cyberware

Combat and Cyberware Basics

Equip yourself with futuristic weapons like katanas and firearms to engage hostile enemies. Install cyberware implants through your character's interface to unlock combat perks and special abilities. The Sandevistan implant is particularly useful—activate it during battles to slow down time and gain an advantage over tougher foes.

Use quickhacks to disrupt enemies from a distance without direct engagement. As you take down threats, your wanted level increases, triggering NCPD pursuit. At higher wanted ratings, elite MaxTac units will deploy from flying transports to hunt you down. Contact fixers throughout the world to receive contracts on cyberpsychos and other targets. Capturing bounties alive yields greater rewards than eliminating them. Prepare for endgame challenges like confronting Adam Smasher deep within Arasaka Tower.
