Take down the Cyberpsycho Matt Liaw in Cyberpunk 2077. Learn his weaknesses, how to approach him, and what to do after the fight to complete the mission.
Alright, let's talk about the 'Demons of War' gig, which is actually a Cyberpsycho sighting involving Matt Liaw. You'll find him up in Northside, and this one pops up after you've finished the main job 'The Rescue'.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Weaknesses: None listed.
- Resistances: RAM Cost +5. This means he's tough against Quickhacks that cost a lot of RAM.
Phases:
- Initial Approach: Matt's got a Sniper Rifle, so you need to be smart about closing the distance. Head north from the Charter St Fast Travel point. You'll find him hanging around an unfinished highway. Use the boxes and containers scattered around the area as cover to get closer without him spotting you.
- Stealth Takedown: The goal here is to sneak up behind him. Wait for him to lose sight of you, then go for a headshot. This is the cleanest way to take him down.
- Close Quarters Combat: If you get too close, Matt will switch to an SMG, and trust me, that thing can melt your HP fast. If you have the 'Weapon Malfunction' Quickhack, now's the time to use it. It'll give you a window to deal some damage. If you don't have that Quickhack, just find the nearest cover and try to pop off one or two shots before retreating.
Strategy:
- Use Cover: Seriously, don't try to run straight at him. The containers are your best friends here.
- Headshots are Key: Aiming for the head is always more efficient, especially when you've got the element of surprise.
- Quickhack Option: If you're a Netrunner, 'Weapon Malfunction' is a lifesaver if he gets too close.
- After you've taken down Matt, make sure to check the computer inside the container. Read the messages on it and then send the info to Regina. That's how you wrap up this gig!
