Not sure how I will treat cameras You can shoot (add a silencer for silent), slash (silent) or punch (silent) them or disable them via engineering. That basically means silenced gun. The other options are close range - and depending on the height of the mounting impossible in some situations.

I looked up where to find "Skippy" and it was as I suspected in the centre. Finished the quest but targeting limbs kinda sucks. I run Bludgeon Arms, shotguns and pistols with Body, Reflex and Cool. Tech and Int have been raised a bit for some milestone unlocks. Skippy in Stone Cold Killer mode works very well as long you use it from cover/stealth approach - direct attack with Skippy drawn can be hair raising, as Skippy from time to time malfunction - remember it is AI 1.0.ALPHA version
I build my V based on tech and usage of assault and handguns and high Intelligence and Technical Ability. Upgraded Skippy several times. Fun weapon, use it beside my favorite JKE-X2 Kenshin.
Yes, aiming at head works so much better. The head is easier to hit with arcing shots. I've used the Ashura to great effect. The limbs tend to be in cover further.
Having quite the trouble with the smart shotte. It tracks decently when it doesm but I feel it needs precious ms when shooting at enemy. Seems like every shot needs the smart targeting updated.
Well, I probably look around to wildly and lose the target. And it takes like forever to reacquire, even at very close range.

Pounce de León The Zhuo Smart Shotgun works. It still has tracking problems sometimes, but nowhere near as bad as the Palica (if you haven't left Watson my guess is you are trying to use the Palica). In other news (click to enlarge): Not sure what they wanted him to do? ![](https://i.ibb.co/jgLHhCJ/photomode-06012021-193847.png) That's a furry that I could get behind: ![](https://i.ibb.co/M8y9ZM2/photomode-07012021-002057.png)

The Zhuo I've tried in a former run and it showed the same diffculties in scoot and shoot. I pop out of cover and when I pull the trigger it still hasnt tracked and the rounds fly wild.
Long range sniping with smart guns work fine.

Yeah sometimes the Zhuo still has problems, but you can easily clear whole groups with two magazines. Reload perk from Engineering + reload perk from shotguns = everything dead before Synaptic Accelerator runs out. Granted you can do the same with other Smart weapons, but variety is the spice of life and all that. There's like six different weapons (from four different types of weapons) that all perform on a level playing field. Good balance, means you can go purely by look&feel, without fear of gimping yourself.

Sailed with Kerry and trashed the yacht and we blow it up. He is a real rebel Kerry and I find him one of the most interesting characters in the game.
![](https://imgur.com/8Oi0gmN) Strolled around the city, collected a little and wasted some gonks, raced the free ways and down town... not wanting this to end... but chose to call Panam for help and became part of the family, I am honored.
Now, just want to rest and good sleep before the final attack, I hope Alt's help will give me the edge. Been amazing journey 100 hours, level 50 and street cred 50. Looking forward to do more game runs as Streetkid and Corporate, where I will chose other endings.

I guess that really comes down to a matter of perspective, so we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I find no hope in either the Arasaka or Johnny endings whatsoever, especially since that means allowing Mikoshi to continue its existence, or submitting to an eternity in cyberspace for the latter, which might as well be hell on earth, and of course abandoning the only people on the planet I care about, opting to surround myself with people I hate. A bullet to the brain would be preferable. Just glad the option to take it all by force is there, “cyberpunky” be damned. Personally, I was never really concerned with the constraints of genre, not when we’re talking about a story with a layer of choice on top. Gonna be perfectly honest, I don’t entirely buy the genre argument. I think you just don’t like those endings lol. Who says I don’t like those endings? I don’t like or dislike them any more than the other endings. I just think they didn’t fit as well with how they were done. I mean, Mike signed off on it I'm sure. He's even credited as Co-Creator of the game. He was involved the whole way. So if one of the creators of the genre give it the nod, I don't see a problem.

It takes quite a while to unlock the street cred for the double jumping. I've cleared most of Watson already. You can unlock the double jump by just doing NCPD alerts and a few main missions in Watson. Had the double jump before the Heist and didn't touch a single gig or side mission. Kinda trivialized all of them later, but it allowed me to discover the different options that were designed for entry in many Watson missions. Didn't pay much attention the first time, just went in and gunned everything from the first floor. Double jump also trivializes the Arasaka warehouse bit. All that planning and scouting with Goro gets pointless. Double jump on the roof of the warehouse from the street, use a silencer/fists to brake the rooftop windows, drop on top of the objective, get out. Takes less than 2 minutes. Goro, you missed the EASIEST way in and out! Some security expert...

Found Anthony Gilchrist and cleared most of Watson. Switched to Ashura for LR it's so easy. Bringing up stealth as well and using verticality where I can. Street mooks get the dildo.

Well, I finished the game yesterday. I remained relatively spoiler-free on the endings and decided to go with the Aldecaldos - my V was an ex-nomad and in a relationship with Panam, so I felt like he would trust them more than either Johnny or Hanako. Overall I'd rate it a solid 8 out of 10. I play on PC, but I didn't experience any bugs aside from (1) trees clipping through the background, which I was able to fix by updating my graphics card drivers, and (2) info on a highlighted object sometimes remaining on the screen after I'd walked away from it, which a quick save/reload would eliminate. I found most of the quests interesting and well-written, though Night City itself didn't, IMO, bring much of anything new to the open world formula, and there weren't any locations where I felt compelled to go "hang out" and look for more to do when the story wasn't already guiding me there. I'll probably give it a second playthrough, especially so I can get my brain around a few instances where I felt like I'd lost track of certain plot details, but I may wait until the DLCs come out rather than play it again right away.
I am curious about the other endings. I even considered taking Hanako's deal given that, on the surface, it seemed to pose the least danger to V and his friends and allies, but I just figured (both in terms of V's outlook and what I'd come to expect as a player) that some sort of double-cross or surprise awaited me and that all hell would still break loose in some form if I did it. And do you end up with the twist of Alt revealing that V will only have about six months to live if he transfers back to his body regardless of which path you take to the ending?
One thing that seemed odd in the epilogue is that neither Panam nor any of the characters who left holo messages during the credits seemed to acknowledge that V is still going to die soon. Are we to assume he hasn't told them? And are there choices earlier in the game that determine how many of the Aldecaldos survive the assault on Arasaka, or do some of them die no matter what? In my playthrough, there were three (Teddy, Bob, and Scorpion, IIRC) that Panam named as having died, while Mitch and Panam survived and Saul was killed by Adam Smasher.
The main drawback for me is that I don't particularly like playing criminal/pirate-type characters, and V is a fixed quantity to that end regardless of dialogue choices and other major decisions you make along the way. I was mostly able to play him as still having a certain code of honor underneath it all - I didn't take any of the straight-up assassination gigs, and I used an implant that rendered all guns non-lethal - but I'm assuming that the bullets from the basilisk's gun, for example, were still fatal. I know there are always mooks in action games, but I figure most of the corpo troops are probably just trying to get by in a decidedly Crapsack World (to borrow a term from TV Tropes) and aren't responsible for the sins of their superiors.

Killed Maiko. Didn't feel bad about it. I was forced to kill her (or, well, incapacitate her - I have the non-lethal eye implant) after my dialogue choices with her went south and she attacked. Am I correct that keeping her alive can actually lead to a better outcome for the dolls at Clouds? In my playthrough, Judy later told me that the two who helped in the takeover attempt ended up getting killed.

That quest has two choices: A ) accept Maiko's deal with the Tiger Claws's bosses B ) follow Judy's plan (which result in Maiko attacking you, but you don't have to kill her) End results: A) Nothing change, could even be said to be worst. Maiko is just as bad as previous management. B ) Clouds gets closed permanently after one of the Doll is killed and another severely damaged in a shootout to retake the place.

Maiko doesn't always attack you if you follow Judy plans. I played it like I was going to shoot everybody and I did, then I talked to her I might have told her she could have the club if she wanted...she wasn't pleased at all, probably called me an imbecile. But I didn't fight her/kill her.

She’ll always be upset, but if you tell her to let it go she’s simply angry and tells you to get out. The “revolution” of Clouds always ends in failure, just that the one in which Maiko takes charge maintains the status quo rather than resulting in Tom’s death.

Dude named Stefan tried to sell me an unregistered BD for 16K. I kinda hate that I can’t pull out my revolver and chase him off. No way am I giving some skeevy bitch off the street any eddies, least of all 16,000.
I lied to Jefferson Peralez and let him believe Holt was behind everything. No point riling this guy up. He’s screwed.
