5:11 *Activates late game sandevistan build*

I run that too, but if you're not SUPER careful they will still punch your card.

@@oceanbytez847 Man idk, my most recent playthrough I had a sandevistan shotgun (sovereign) build and even on the highest difficulty it wasn't particularly that hard to mow down infinite waves of maxtac

“Maxtac is coming” alone sends your timbers shivering

no

First time I encountered maxtac they just dropped onto me after hacking my car and making me hit a police barricade. They annihilated me. Those guys are terrifying. Cyberpsychos with badges. Never heard the song before this update, never felt like getting into a shootout with the NCPD.

Well after getting attacked by maxtac I gotta say this statement is correct. Unless you're level 60 you won't stand a chance but now I'm able to kill them but you gotta separate each member and kill them one by one that's how you destroy Maxtac by making them separate

So real heard this in game today and had this exact thought

@@rogueraccoon1840 thanks to level scaling the only thing that matters is your sandy/berserk

@lestermoe7159 well they can actually counter your sandy with their own and keep moving in real time unlike before where everyone would stay in slow motion regardless if they have a Sandy themselves

@MTC not only sane, but cyberpsychos that are taken alive are sometimes recruited into MaxTac themselves (after treatment). The girl from the original 2013 trailer is in the game as a maxtac lieutenant

@@WDA94 yup, but as she states to V, its very very rare that MaxTac does this

@@Digital2pulse yea I'm pretty sure certain situations however maxtac are sent to knock the target out instead of flatline. highvalue soldiers or certain mercs secretly get shoved into the crew. What I don't get is if net runners can go cyberspycho or just burn out there's a few known to be on maxtac

yes ish, they are full of the type of "cyber cycos" that the main guy in the netflix special is. poor/ no luck to move up but good human addons (AKA GENETICLY LUCKY). Likely, their gonna have him become maxtac and take it down from the inside. Lame! Hope they dont

@@Digital2pulse and by no means she's became any normal. that whole discussion about kill thrill was fucked and it indicates she wasn't treated at all, more like MaxTac put a leash on her.

And then another and another and then another. Until V is either dead or gone

@@quangnguyentrung647or if V walks into any safe zone, MaxTac and the rest of NCPD becomes blind and forgives all the death and destruction you’ve done.

@@SavageLu that's why I said gone. Until either V escaped or V died, they won't stop coming.

​@@SavageLu true, that's a bummer, i want to have a system that prevents you to cheese your "escape" on wanted lvl3 and higher. Like, run to the Badlands, choom. Not sure if that helps tho

@@BrobjeV Bad news is out in the Badlands it'll just be Militech on your arse instead.

Well because NCPD is a corrupt unit and MaxTac are bunch of "cyberpsychoes" that enjoy killing people.

I disagree, it's pretty funny seeing them all die quickly when I cut them down with a katana. Maybe it is pretty awful on lower levels, but I've never found it difficult to eliminate them all. Besides, there's no way you're getting to the maximum wanted level unless you're looking for it, and the only thing that makes MaxTac unique from other wanted level pursuers aside from better stats is the fact that they can dash and dodge your gunfire quickly, which is useless if you just use melee weapons which are already overpowered to hell. And I guess grenades are worth mentioning too, since they can easily clean rooms and MaxTac agents aren't immune to them. You can also just outrun them like every other wanted level pursuer, so... yeah. They don't have to be a problem if you don't want them to. The one thing I do think of when I hear this track is not how powerful the NCPD is, but of how powerful I am as a player character. After putting in all that work in leveling my character and getting the best gear I could, I'd say this theme is fitting for my character creating absolute chaos on the streets more than it is for NCPD/MaxTac being a force to reckon with.

@@superplayerex2431I think they meant how the characters feel within the game, kinda like the "lore" (I guess you could say) just belittles the NCPD

Yeah gangs laugh about NCPD untill MaxTac shows up

@@superplayerex2431 scanned them, either afterlife mercs or higher-ranking cops for 4 stars, Trauma team can be rarely found and are well.. Worth it to kill (yes they drop loot, yes all of it is level 50. Yes, even a common pair of pants from these dudes offers more protection than special made arasaka body armor). Just wanted to let you know that

They aren't Saiyans. They're ninjas from the Hidden Highrise clan.

Super Maxtac is nice. But have you ever tried fighting the Ultra California Border Patrol Instinct?

Max Tac are the one Saiyans that use their powers in front of you without any respect

thats the biggest challenge tbh, 3 hits and death is more or less pretty unfair yet challengeing at least with comrades hammer and lvl 50

@@koffeinaa3948 they're way stronger than the Far Cry Predator Instincts Evolution supersoldiers!

That civilian should not have looked at me wrong

@@chillknight3940 nah i loose it when they call your 5 min cutomised character ugly af

Mantis tac are the worst XD I originally thought the net runners were bad til I installed ice cyberware. They have like 13k hp and can 2 shot you

@@Badkarma912 Netrunners are great lol I always go for them

@@Badkarma912 Lmao. I had this bright idea of leading the Mantis blade operator towards a trio of gang members in an overpass in Pacifica thinking it would buy me at least five seconds respite and give me a good show. Instead, she wipes them out in like two seconds and then starts Sandevistan-ing towards me while my brain was still in "watch while eating popcorn" mode. The only thing that saved my sorry butt was jumping straight off the overpass, admittedly while saying "Oh Sh*t" repeatedly and in an increasingly panicked tone. I ran to the beach directly into a large concentration of Scavs with the Mantis blade user following me like a goddamned velociraptor. This time I did not even dare look back and went straight to looking for a hiding spot on inaccessible higher ground while the Scavs were being annihilated.

@@klade5031 that's funny as hell good thing scavs arnt really human anymore XD

Just like in GTA.

No ...cp2077 is de@d

Cyberpunk is not GTA.

Bold of you to assume they'll get a total overhaul

@@crylune They will. Didn't CDPR literally say the NCPD is getting an overhaul?

Might be able to do that for you in due time

You mean it spamming "Crime Prevention System"

@@entertainmentgamer1992 yes! XD

@@entertainmentgamer1992 (That means death in corporate terms.) (Edit: Not anymore, i love armor)

I hope so. They dialed the difficulty of them back.

actually hope not, at level 40 i can kill them and they can kill me, single real threat are the turrets. Its fun beating the shit out of beat cops and max-tac, dont you think?

@@dani.2479 Turrets are a non-threat for netrunner builds at least, just turn em to friendly with a hack. The problem is the teleporting drones/npcs that appear behind your cover, even though there was no way they could have possibly got there.

Let's hope that it also applies to 2.0

It applies to 2.0

True. Especially now that whenever the Edgerunners perk kicks in, you know your thirst for blood has become unquenchable...

Seriously, some of the best tactics from this style of game I've ever seen. They set up road blocks, try to pit maneuver, how if one patrol car is stopped where the initial crime happened, the second one will stop further back and search around _that_ area. I'm hoping the sequel they give them Grapplers, those things are awesome.

@@killertrip10 So they are like the kamikaze cops from NFS:MW?

I rarely get to figure that out since maxtac automatically hacks your car to blow up at 5 stars lol

This is the best part they need to extend just this part

when u get 4 stars lol

I love that part to

True

Agree, just was fighting some cops (accidentally/wanted to try) and this combat theme goes so hard. It's so good, maybe the best combat theme? All of them are quite good, especially Valentinos as well

Exactly! It's like the audio representation of "It just got serious". Fighting MaxTac boys mantis blades only on Nightmare difficulty with this music playing gave me adrenaline rush. One of the best CP77 experiences that will stay in my memory.

I like at 7:10

Fighting Maxtac (or Afterlife mercs in Pacifica) with this music is really fun!

@@gavingreenhorn monowire is stupid good for them, the range is crazy

Glad to know you've never played this game

I once wanted to test how op my build was so I started blasting and then maxtac showed up. Despite going ultra instinct by dodging mgl fire and never allowing me to gain a break I've managed to kill like 2 or 3 squads of them and suddently they just stopped spawning and after like 5 minutes my wanted level vanished. I was sutch a meanace that even Maxtac decided to stop fucking with my V and just aborted the mission.

@@checkoutmyplaylistsforente8054 yeah I'm pretty sure the maxtac not spawning thing is one of the many glitches the developers still have yet to fix sometimes I just see them spawning in with broken AI just standing there

​@@rileymiller3154standing npc is still an issue,if you wanna get chased just start shooting the civilians while moving to a new location

LITERALLY JUST HAPPENED TO ME LMAO

Reflexes + tech + cool. Cool never fails me as a attribute and perk point dump.

Cyberpunk 2077 Ver. 2.0 and onwards: 5:40: Start running.

haha, byakko goes swoosh swoosh

reject katanas and mantis blades. return to cyber-monke. (gorilla arms, and decked out attributes, perks, and skill levels)

Most of the game in the soundtrack (and game industry) is done this way as well. Different trigger events will remove or add pieces to the layers/tracks depending on the intensity needed for what's currently happening. For example the Militech and Cyberpsycho themes have similar layered sections that go way harder depending on whether you're stealthing, in combat, near them, close up, etc.

i think i the first part of this has a part that also used in cyberpsycho combat music. My theory is that the cyberpsycho combat music is for terrified civilians and beat-cops while this is what the cyberpsycho hears playing in their head. Give a man a gun and be becomes god.

Not their fault.

@@thepenisgenius I don't think cdpr did anything wrong here, but don't they decide what music in the game goes where?

@@thicc_crust_apocalypse It's up to interpretation what the "best" theme is.

If you want to hear it more just kill people until you get 4 stars lol

i think its awesome song for sure, but i cant say its best, i love almost all songs in cp77 yet jackie dying and rebel path cello versions win it for me tbh.

Both are annoying as shit.

MaxTac is more similar to the Judges from Dredd.

They’re still pretty weak though. Play your builds right and you can two shot them

​@@youngflashy7181 The same is true when you fight Smasher.

@@jessicaslater4243 fr, he needs a serious buff

Get out'a that vehicle and fight like a man.

Before the last update they were relatively easy to fight late game....now....not so much. Endless Max Tac will bend you over eventually

@@Darkslayer274 Imagine how many MaxTac they have,lol

Didn't feel that easy for me on nightmare. One shotgun round and you're dead. Well, maybe 10-20% hp left on max level with high end equipment.

@@skell6134 Yeah, fucking imagine how many they have if you can bunker down in a spot where the turrets cant reach you and you can just.. Yknow.. *Keep going.*

Lol yea the cops are easy to out run there just tough on Hard and Very Hard if you fight them fairly

Level 60

POV: you got eyes hack out of your face

This aged very well, police are hella scary now

2.0 police is now actual police and pose a threat to you, especially MaxTac. I hope you enjou the game as much as I did, it became my favorite game in recent history.

@@danielmiller7635Hahahaha i heard about the 2.0 Update and the DLC, and i was very curious to try it out. Really awesome so far!

Reminds of my first time playing (1.6. though), and I got the NCPD mark right away after the beginning quest 😂 I had no clue what to do, and I just took a few months pause from the game then. It worked as after it I really started playing the game and got hooked with my new save. That first try was a nomad, I believe I accidentally ran over someone with the car, and then I somehow decided to fight the cops back? I was so lost as I had only completed the intro which meant I didn't even have some proper gun

"stop in the name of the law" "you're under arrest"

Gary the Prophet just reveals he's the mastermind behind the scientists of Alpha Centauri and pulls up with the strongest implants ever created by mankind.

They are a major threat on Very Hard last I checked with maybe 4 or 5 shots needed to Flatline you depending on your build.

Maxtac AVs pouring out of the sky like raindrops. NCPD Cars piling up like its a god-damn Traffic jam. Mechs start appearing with more ”Crime Prevention System” Turrets coming out of the walls.

@@joeldelgado1376 It's very build dependent I find, for example Netrunner builds have it rought since they're all unhackable (except the street turrets), and your melee skills are usually somewhat lacking due to putting your perks/points into hacking but they're pretty pushover for Sandy melee builds.

HAPPY NOW?

Got nerfed in 1.5 again

@@xNephilimxXx ...that's kind of lame honestly, they're supposed to be feared and a challenge

@@Darkslayer274 im pretty sure hes wrong it seems like they didnt really change it besides making them spawn in a group insstead of the most random spots The only nerf is removing most of there shit spawns

@ラテちゃん it's gonna change in 1.7

So, how do you guys like the NCPD and MaxTac in current patch 2.11?

Yes, now imagine police cars chasing you, Drones launching from the sky and MaxTac dropping form their flying ship when you reach 4 wanted stars. We shouldn't imagine this, should we?

@@Slick10836 Hell yeah. Reminded me of 7 years old me frist time seeing 5 star cop in gta.

main good thing from this is that music was always awesome in that game which is great at least.

@@Slick10836 I mean, for the MTac aerodynes you could use similar coding to the police choppers in the GTA series, and.. actually, half the police response things could be copied from GTA.

@@rihanm.sgoogleaccount4462 Now that is not exactly what I meant. This is the main issue right here. People are comparing this game to GTA. It is not. It was not intended to. Police is there because they needed it in an open world. But it does not serve any purpose. Now if you have played the Witcher or Skyrim, if you did bad things, the "police" just spawned behind you and interrupt your game with a dialogue cutscenes. The same mechanic is portrayed here. I for sure do not want to play the game and have to escape the police like in GTA. It frustrates me there but I can understand it since it's an action game. CP isn't. All I meant is that having a MTAC ship coming down if you kill civilians and make 4 stars would have been a nice touch. But I for sure don't aim to kill civilians in this game.

'cept you're taking on chromed up sociopathic cloakers that learned what guns are and how to use a sandy, and they're deployed with groups of 4, good luck.

@@UnknownOps PD2 death sentence difficulty is still harder than any max-tac scenario

​@@Badkarma912then your games bugged or outta range which lowers the dmg bc im for sure there dmg is balanced on Hard and Very Hard. I had 900HP and still got 1 tapped to low heath

Idea: MaxTac ”Corporate tier” mechs. Rocket launchers and miniguns that make a very clear sound that they are charging up. Tanky but slow. Able to destory parts of the mech like you are able to do to the smaller ones (the ones with two legs and two fucking guns.) Loot: Legendary tier crafting spec or the gun in its entirety. Gun: You come up with something since this idea isnt that good but isnt that bad in my opinion, aka mediocre.

​@@dani.2479ay jus saying i heard rumors that 1.7 (DLC Update) will have a real police system WITH a mini boss at 4 stars, lets hope this is true

I still haven't? When do you get this? Have had 5 stars plenty of times but cannot remember this one.

Oh hold up, from about 4:40 mins in I start recognizing it. Maybe the sounds of Sandy and Shotgun overwhelmed the music :^)

They stop 100 percent after you kill oodles of them and your stars disappear

Arrest no longer is needed. Kill V

Given how munted the police in 2077 are, I do so because the alternative isn't fun.

@@PhoenixFireZero Yeah but thats also because Cyberpunk is a story-driven action rpg not a sandbox like GTA

I managed to fend them off for a while but only because I was inhaling healing items like a druggie and because of a really op sandevistan build at the max level of the game. I tried it with an assault/rifle build and it was a completely different story lol. MaxTac is pretty strong but in the game you become a force to be reckoned once you reach the top... here's hoping more MaxTac improvements are made in Phantom Liberty/1.7!

@@RubyRedPhoenix413 They should add special units made specifically for corps, maxtac, and NCPD forces so they feel like an actual threat even at level 40-50, like for example fast and aggressive humanoid robots with double barrel shotguns that use kerensikov or sandevistan.

also 1.2k armor build lets gooo

okay so turns out ncpd turrets do NOT scale with the zone.

you can cut through them like butter with a blade build and sandy lol. build is too op
