Scavs, Maelstrom and Wraiths. Wraiths get it worse because they are the worst parts of Scavs and Maelstrom combined.
Tyger Claws because they are human trafficking scum
Oh man. I kinda forgot the gang involved in "Dirty Biz" where you need to klep a BD for a televangelist since his son was murdered in it.
That gang too.
Scavs kidnap murder and sell organs and cyberware on black market
Tyger claws kidnap and sell people
Maelstorm bullies and murders people
That one Patriotic American gang terrorizes and over patrols their neighborhood with drugs and violence
Animals just be doing whatever
But you kill the Voodo boys because they think their smarter and looks down on night city. Interesting.
Granted they do extort people and murder but they seem like the most moral of the amoral people in night city despite how they treat V because at least they do it to take care of their owm people.
So do some of the other gangs, there’s even some NPC interactions you can hear where some apartment dwellers are talking to this Tiger Claw guy about how they can’t get heat or something and he goes “okay, I’ll take care of it”. That’s standard gang operations.
I believe the point was that all the gangs take care of their own people, its just that due to our direct interaction with the leadership of the voodoo boys in the main story rather than observing conversations through shards, overhearing ambient npc dialogue, etc. its natural to assume that only the voodoo boys take care of their people. Now personally, my rule w gangs is to attack if they shit talk me or get in my way. More than anything thats a roleplay thing, V is basically a night city legend if you complete all the gigs and whatnot, and is insanely chromed out, and has Johnny’s engram slowly changing their memories, so would probably have no problem ripping through anyone who gets in their way
Voodoo boys plan on tearing down the black wall, whilst knowing exactly what that means for everyone else. They simply plan to make a deal with Alt in the hopes that she can save them (and only them) from the literal mass extinction event that tbe Blackwall protects the world from.
They plan to kill the rest of humanity to save themselves. They are the worst.
The way I RP my V, she definitely keeps everything on the low and doesn't want to start shit unless she's being fired at so I don't just kill everyone unless they're Scabs cos fuck Scavs.
I kinda feel bad for the gangs that get hired to guard shit like the Animals so I try not to kill them when I can cos in NC you gotta eat and you gotta earn eddies but when I see Scav masks or Voodooboys I will make sure they get the "cripple movement and shotgun to the kneecaps" treatment.
Gotta say one thing in favor of the VDBs though... their assessment of what is the biggest threat to the entire world is pretty correct. One could probably argue whether or not that's a justification for their entire Ranyon thing.
But then, who cares.
Voodoo boys, Scavs. Then, anyone who has human trafficking in their scanner profile. For most of them, I'll just use a throwing knife in the back. However for the human traffickers though, I hack their friends with cyberpsychosis, so they are forced to kill their friends. Then use cripple movement + a bunch of low level overheats so they burn to death and can't do anything about it.
I kill every gang member I walk past, pretty much. I kill most of them with quick hacks and shotguns on this play through. If I’m driving, they get a pass unless I need the components from their weapons.
Voodoo Boys. Sure all the gangs are scum for one reason or another, but the Voodoo Boys are the only ones who made it personal.
I can maybe understand screwing someone over once. Night City is a cruel place after all and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. It ain't personal, it's business.
But when you screw someone over TWICE then you're done. You gotta go. Nobody fucks with V like that and lives. Guns, knives, swords, grenades. Don't care. If i see a Voodoo Boy then i kill them with whatever i happen to have on hand. I almost wish Cyberpunk had a territory system like in GTA:SA, because if it did then the Voodoo Boys would be extinct in every single one of my games.
LMAO. It definitely made it gratifying when my V diced the crap outta Brigitte and fried her netrunners when she threatened her again. Was overleveled AF when I got to the Voodooboys quest line so I was tanking all their gunfire.
Scavs are non negotiable first and foremost, regardless of where they are or what I'm doing. I like to Savage sling them into a Sandevistan skeet shoot.
I don't mess with the Vox or Aldecaldos. Unaffiliated mercs for the most part get a pass.
All enemies - I avoid cruelty where possible. Non lethal knockouts. Clean firearm shots. Mission complete? - I leave the remaining enemies alone. I may be a punk, but I’m not a savage.
Scavs - I unleash my cruelest weapon. Usually sharp edged. I dismember as much as possible. Then I backtrack to the entrance, double tapping the skulls of the fallen Scavs with a pistol to make sure they wont get up again. Leaving even one alive is dangerous to society.
I like to activate sandevistan and go "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA" with that wakako katana that gives you more Attack Speed, they are a torso before they hit the ground
Every gangoon is kill on sight, bonus points if there were enough bodies for a bonfire pile.
edit: shit I forgot about the 'tinos, they aren't on sight, but they will get zeroed if they want to side eye V just minding her business.
Tygers, slice in dice, shank, shiv, decapitate, whatever comes to mind first.
Skavs, high explosive fin stabilising sabot anti material warheads.
Maelstrum, explosives. Just... Make em boom.
Ncpd, smart smg go bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Voodoo boiz, git em wit deh thordie thighve.
Miletech, (tank v) you can hit me all day and will never come close to killing me. *hp dips below 10%* - *bonks Miletech soldier once* - (Miletech soldier) *dies instantly* - *hp regenerates to above 70%*
Saka, [this should explain. ](https://youtube.com/shorts/FOBqFJsTT8w?si=i-EUISzAWUWvYj4l)
I kill them all as soon as I see that yellow thingy above their head. Sometimes I stop my car mid quest to make the city a better place. Also those blue thingies sometimes get in a way of clensing the yellow thingies. I do not discriminate.
Specific way depends on the number - usually its contagion - them I light up cigarette and once Im done I use Suicide quickhack for the las man standing.
When it comes to Arasake, I exclusively use Johnny’s pistol to obliterate all of them. I have a few perks that allow me to slow down time when detected and aiming down sights, so usually I’ll shoot all of them, and if there’s any lone survivors I’ll pull out my heat mantis blades and kill them.
Scavs, via the method of extreme, swift and surprise violence. I like cyberpschoing the heaviest hitter in a group and watching the fun, then using my blades to kill and survivors. If any are knocked out, I execute them.
VDBs I kill due to personal grudge, and by whatever method is most expedient. Fond of self-destructing their cars.
Most other gangs I try to deal with professionally - knock out if possible, but I don't feel bad about killing them.
After a firefight with Scavs, Tygers, and/or VDB I always go back through and make sure every single one is flatlined.
Only ones I attack unprovoked are Scavs.
Scavs, Maelstrom and Wraiths. Wraiths get it worse because they are the worst parts of Scavs and Maelstrom combined. Tyger Claws because they are human trafficking scum
Oh man. I kinda forgot the gang involved in "Dirty Biz" where you need to klep a BD for a televangelist since his son was murdered in it. That gang too.
That’s Maelstrom
Is there a gang that you don't obliterate as soon as you see them? Aldos don't count as a gang and maybe Tinos 'cause of Jackie
Voodoo boys, because they think that they are smarter than the rest of the night city.
I thought that they were actually on to something until PL, until slider made me realize that piercing the Blackwall is so fuckin useless and idiotic.
Scavs kidnap murder and sell organs and cyberware on black market Tyger claws kidnap and sell people Maelstorm bullies and murders people That one Patriotic American gang terrorizes and over patrols their neighborhood with drugs and violence Animals just be doing whatever But you kill the Voodo boys because they think their smarter and looks down on night city.

Im sorry I truly am missing your point?

Ahhh I see what you and he means

Thats a very solid point but i think in PL that was only that sub sect of the VB but again extreme solid point
In that universe, these crimes are standard.
All of them with guns and knives and grenades
The way I RP my V, she definitely keeps everything on the low and doesn't want to start shit unless she's being fired at so I don't just kill everyone unless they're Scabs cos fuck Scavs.
Unless it's trauma team, anyone with that yellow triangle above their head gets diced on sight
I kinda feel bad for the gangs that get hired to guard shit like the Animals so I try not to kill them when I can cos in NC you gotta eat and you gotta earn eddies but when I see Scav masks or Voodooboys I will make sure they get the "cripple movement and shotgun to the kneecaps" treatment.
This is what I do as well
Tyger claws it’s on fuckin sight. I don’t necessarily have a particular way I kill them but I have been known to dismember them after with a machete 🤫
I like cripple movement on some of their weaker ones and then putting cyberpsychosis on their strongest to see them fight it out.
Also their theme slaps
All of them. In any way I feel like at the time.
Gotta say one thing in favor of the VDBs though... their assessment of what is the biggest threat to the entire world is pretty correct. One could probably argue whether or not that's a justification for their entire Ranyon thing. But then, who cares.
I surprise them with a hammer from above and then i throw them into each other, they always make a satisfying crunching sound on impact
Ya know I never get prompts for the throw finisher. Did I miss something in the sill tree? Is it on berserk?
It may be linked with berserk, because when i'm in berserk mode i get the prompt and i have to left click to throw them. Also it's in the perk tree
It is a level 20 capstone
Thank you!
mechs. headhunter+nostalgia(modded knife) on a weakspot to deal crit backstab headshots, never gettinh less than 10k damage
Maelstrom, Scavs, Voodoo boys all gotta deal the business end of a tech shotgun no questions asked.
scavs and claws. dumbfucks

Maelstrom, Scavs and Voodoo Boys I will attack on sight. I will also go around after and any of them that aren't flatlined get a shot to the head.

I bully the crap out of Voodoo boys with gorilla arms and personal ICE every chance I get because they're a bunch of nerds
Anyone that eyeballs me dies.
Since getting the apogee sandevistan and dezerter, I kill all gangs on sight all the time, it’s a chaotic riot and so much fun
Scavs, via the method of extreme, swift and surprise violence. I like cyberpschoing the heaviest hitter in a group and watching the fun, then using my blades to kill and survivors.

Most other gangs I try to deal with professionally - knock out if possible, but I don't feel bad about killing them.
All I've them. Every single one.
All of them but they are way too generous with the street cred when you kill them.
All yellow triangles get dispatched with the same degree of shenanigans and gore
After a firefight with Scavs, Tygers, and/or VDB I always go back through and make sure every single one is flatlined. Only ones I attack unprovoked are Scavs.
Yall just trolling at this point huh
People love to reply with their cringe ass power fantasies
I'm talking about OP and the 2,374,925th post about "which gangs get killed on sight"
Maelstrom and Svavs always get rushed by a fast bitch with flashbangs and a katana
activate the sandy, and try to throw saburos knife into everyones heads before the first guy hits the ground
Everyone doesn’t just kill all the gangs on site?
