I’m like 8 hours in and all I’ve been doing is climbing things, skirting little ledges around buildings to see if I can get higher, and constantly using ping/distract on things on the ground.

I don’t know why. I’ve only found 2 places where I could break a window with a bat and sneak into a building, most floors and buildings seem only for show with no real interior. But… since I know breakable windows and secret entrances and shit exists I can’t stop looking for it.

I’m only level 7, but climbing high and lighting everyone on fire with technomagic is my kind of great combat. I was really surprised to find out that actually lighting people on fire until they run out of health somehow doesn’t count as killing them and they just go “downed”… so I can get the bonus from some quests for not killing, then go back with a katana and dice them up. <3

      System Collapse is almost a one-and-done move on any enemy, at least at the iconic level. Considering the RAM it consumes you’d bloody well hope so.

      But with Blood Pump, Biomonitor and Overclock you can happily take down half a dozen (or more) before you’ve even poked your head out from cover.

      one reason I liked them as I liked to try and not kill anyone while doing missions. I actually got real annoyed that dumping an unconcious body killed it. Its like common no hide a body option that does not kill them?

        That’s why I wait until the mission is done, and then dismember them and throw them away. Get whatever bonus you might get for not murdering anyone, even though you murdered everyone. <3
