Hope you all enjoyed this video, all recorded in the new Overdrive update so hopefully it looks good! Let me know what you think and your thoughts on MaxTac!
I think MAXTAC is the second most interesting group in cyberpunk right behind trauma team, there so many potential story lines that can be told from these two groups alone, hopefully they will play a major role in future games .

If taken into account how many people V has killed during the game in so many different ways, despite the fact that those were mostly gang members, one might say that V is a high functioning cyberpsycho, with a solo assault on Arasaka tower as the final accord. Johnny Silverhand was V's cyberpsychosis.
In my game I basically play on the level of MAX-TAC while rocking their gear. Hey, if they ask me to join them and the prompts don't let me other than for a vague "maybe", I'll take anything I can get.
I've always had this suspicion that Regina's cyberpsycho missions are just a way for MaxTac to recruit people. Which is why they're preferred to be captured alive.
She did say they were explicitly to try and find a cure for cyberpsychosis MaxTac might have some correlations since keeping your troops sane but still borged up would be immensely beneficial to them. But other than maybe funding or behind the shadows, I doubt they're straight up turning the living cyberpsychos into MaxTac
I always thought MaxTac were a deadly unit but never expected them to have Cyberpsychos in their ranks. These troops are without down the best of the best at their job but also ticking time bombs ready to blow at any moment. Just damn the Cyberpunk universe is brutal but I love the universe. With that said amazing video on the deadliest unit in Cyberpunk. Keep up the great work!
If you want more, track down a PDF of Cyberpunk 2020's "Protect and Serve" book, they talk about Max Tac a good deal there. I believe the core book does as well
I’d say that MaxTac are in many respects high-functioning psychos (like Adam Smasher) who “get their high” from fighting and killing other cyberpsychos. Some claim that they’re “cured”, but I honestly don’t fully believe that.
I ran a Cyberpunk: Red game where I had the unlucky Chooms in the gang wake up under the care of MaxTac. Turns out, each of them went Cyberpsycho badly enough that MaxTac was called, and as a way to treat their psychosis their memories of how they got there were suppressed. Now, in order to pay for their rehabilitation (and also, as a screening process for becoming possible MaxTac Agents) they had to go track down a Ripperdoc who was suspected of giving purposely faulty cyberware to create Cyberpsychos - with each person in the new MaxTac unit (Unit title: Rip-Off) being someone who was fed faulty chrome from this Ripper. I love that you brought up how MaxTac has some of the only true "rehabilitating" tech out there. Makes them an interesting entity as they take down the very people they "could" help. A caring, yet incredibly bottom-line ruthless organization.
Did you play any of the optional missions from Regina (lady with the eye patch)? You got MANY chances to fight Cyberpsychos. In fact you could say it was even more intense since you are NOT Maxtac, but just going in with what an Ex-corpo(street kid/nomad) could get his/her hands on.
@@HalfBreedMixOh yeah the mission with a boring story and boring conclusion for a grand total of 7 minutes? Very exciting. As well you can’t unalive them without suffering from negatives due to Regina. The encounters suck in base 2077 at least compared to what we could get as being MAXTAC, plus it’d be way more awesome
I got caught by maxtac once, trying to get the sandy mk3 from a cyberpsycho encounter. Shot a civ by accident, a couple cops who made the encounter much more difficult at my very high level *of 7* and very quickly I decided, *I'm never killing a cop again* They had me pinned in a corner huffing bounce back like I was asthmatic panic shooting the walls every time a pixel changed colour
@@sitrueis4007early game they are due to their matrix like move but it quickly change once you hit 30, you should be on par with them.. heck i demolish them with legendary gorilla arms
I remember getting caught by MaxTac once and being the buffoon that I am, I decided it's a good idea to fight them. The good idea turned out to be a awful one.
They become OP once you hit past level 51, each one feel like you’re fighting somebody with your build.. the net runners are insanely OP, everytime they shut my cyberware down, but my second heart, and pump, plus cyberpsycho(Fury) puts me over the edge vs them for a few waves.. I don’t have a Sandy, Berserker, or Quick Hack deck.. just Chrome.. I took off the training wheels, I’m pure chrome, no slowing time down with a press of a button, No Berserker rage , or making them commit Minecraft.. just pure chrome with Gorilla Arms, my World Breaker Hulk Build.
With the ammount of modifications that MaxTac agents have and they must know that most of them are dancing on the verge of cyberpsicosis, I believe they must have some sort of failsafe in their gear, like a killswitch or something in the helmet that could help their peers deal with a rogue agent.
You can actually find a shard in game that's an excerpt from a book written by a max tac officer talking about this very concept. He basically says that becoming a cyber psycho scares them more than anything.
@@Unknown-ek1oxMaybe, I think Corpo V is shown to have a therapist so clearly mental health is taken seriously if there's enough money or the patient is valuable enough. I imagine maxtac officers, especially "ex" cyberpsychos would be under constant surveillance and have access to the best medical or mental health services
Max-Tac: We’ll always be here to protect you. That is, unless you get in the way of our protection. In which case, there will be no one left to protect you from us…
A city abandon by God’s would have a special police force made up of cyberpsychos that would be very happy to rip and tear anything that’s near the vicinity of a fellow cyberpsycho. Night city citizens truly are in safe hands.😺
It's funny how V always throws a spanner in the Cyberpunk universe's power scaling. MaxTac have to be absolitely chromed out to fight cyberpsychos but V can fight them alone while wearing fairly minimal chrome. Borgs are supposedly insanely strong, moreso that basically any non-borg barring very few exceptions, but V can take them down fairly easily. Using a Sandevistan too frequently can have devastating consequences on a person but V uses them with nearly no cooldown. MaxTac has an astonishingly high success rate in neutralizing cyberpsychos but V, if played like a psycho, could have an astonishingly high success rate in neutralizing MaxTac. They truly gave us an insane power level in this game.
Yeah i wish the game showed you get more borged out. Look at David he’s a literal mech with better gear than v yet gets stomped by Adam smasher. V destroys Adam smasher low diff in the actual game it makes no sense
Well a few things Kind of absolutely confirm that v is special 1: he’s got a chip that can resurrect his dead body multiple times and it’s implied that he got at least a little chromed up. Even if he isn’t full borg he’d have all of his body reinforced with top of the line stuff. 2: Even before the relic it’s fair to say that v was a competent merc considering they earned a name for themselves in a relatively short amount of time. So like v is special but no more so then any of the other legendary figures in cyberpunk.
MaxTac would make for a FANTASTIC DLC. Everything about this group fit perfectly with the dystopian nature of this franchise and there is so much potential from both narrative and gameplay perspective.
It's cool that if you kill Melissa Rory, you can loot her mantis blades. That sounds like a terrible idea, but they look really cool. Just know that the fight is tough, as you're cornered in a store with basically no cover and swarmed with MaxTac units.
I felt like it was a big let down when we didn't get any MAXTAC missions or even the option to join MAXTAC I don't know what the hell cdpr was thinking such a missed opportunity with both MAXTAC and trauma team .
Imagine the opportunity with the fact if you kill a corporat and the trauma team comes he was a trauma team customer and having to defend yourself from the coming trauma team
CP2077 is just nothing but missed opportunity. But then again it Had it's own story it was following and IMO should have tighter up and focused more on that. The world is way to big in the lore sense that each Faction or setting can be it's own game. Streetkidd, Nomads, and Corps are Big enough that they could each get their own Skyrim level game. CYBERPUNK STREETKIDS, could be a game focused on well. A streetkid. Growing in the city around the gangs and police. Be one of the gang or Help put a stop to the rampages. NOMADS, focus on the clans. Inside and out the city in the badlands. Learn what it means to be family. CORPORATION, focus on the corporations and their environment. Join Militech or Arasaka(or hell a new startup) and you crawl and claw your way up the corporate ladder. Do you help the small company become a big dog or will it be crushed under your boot as you stand on the shoulders of Giants?
I had this thought so many times playing. How could they not have you interact even just a little bit with MAXTAC or Trama Team. Trauma Team also suffers the same thing. Maybe in future DLC =\
It comes down to development problems at the end of the day. You can find good documentaries on RUclips talking about the lack of people calling the shots on what aspects of the game needed to be hammered out and which to get cut, on top of trying to develop for as many platforms as possible and developing a new game engine for the game...while the game itself is being made on a work in progress game engine. They were riding the high of witcher 3 and paid the price
If they were still planning on updates or ever get the manpower to put out updates, itd be cool to get an expansion on different lifepaths, possibly only on ng+
I really wish that Melissa Rory would have had her own quest line where we get to explore her background more. Maxtac is the most underrated group in the lore IMO.
Whenever I think of the BD V finds, I always think of a quote from David's Ripper.. "A cautionary tale.. for the next dreamer.." it seems V was that dreamer..
MaxTac sounds insane. Like who is running the whole thing ? Why do they have the capability to rehabilitate (repurpose) cyberpsychos ? Mysterious, might be the most powerful faction in the game.
MaxTac is run by the NCPD. Worth noting is that MaxTac and it's leadership isn't inherently corrupt to the core, unlike more or less every other public organisation because everyone understands the severity and pure randomness of the Cyberpsychosis threat. They have the capability because someone has to neutralise the cyberpsycho threat and they have proven themselves (100% success rate) to be effective. Arasaka is the most powerful faction in the game because they have a massive supercarrier, the Kujira moored in the city harbour. Militech is a close second. Both of them have and operate actual militaries with top-of-the-line equipment they themselves manufacture, unlike the NCPD who purchases their equipment from suppliers, such as Arasaka and Militech.
You know when the first trailer for cyberpunk came out I thought that we would be playing as a member of maxtac. Like we’d play a badass cybernetic supercop, That hunted down rogue cyborgs bladerunner style. Maybe we could try to reconcile with our humanity despite us being what we are. Maybe we could choose to be absolute psychopaths. Or maybe we could end up to be on the wrong side of the law and be chased by our former maxtac people because we were set up by corrupt people in night city. Then they revealed V as the PC
The original story I believe was about MaxTac but instead they changed it to the idea of cyberpsycosis and the relic. I do enjoy Vs story but damn I wished for more MaxTac and medical team
@@WiseFish Imagine if they'd combo'd both of those things, V starts getting cyberpsycosis from years of stress and guilt as a max tac unit, you get to witness the slow at first then rapid break down in V as well as the city continuing to deteriorate around you.
We may just have gotten that if they didn't do the whole game (plot) from scratch for the Johnny stuff instead. Well, maybe the DLC will miraculously add a way to do radiant quests for MAX-TAC.
Tbh a single squad will do the job. Adam is just heavily armed and experienced veteran. Don't think he is really that broken when compared to end game / maxtac level. The cyberpsycho in edgerunner (owner of David's sandi) is also a war vet, can't handle a squad of maxtac as well
@@kaison12205Smasher could probably take a few MaxTac out himself. Great self-ICE. Would probably take two or three squads to bring him down - unless they’re readily there with AT-4s or something that would wipe him with one HEAT round.
Learning about this stuff REALLY increases the enjoyment I get out of a game. The experience is analogous to hearing a funny joke vs. hearing an inside joke. The more you know, the better a joke becomes.
Thanks to the new 2.0 update in Cyberpunk 2077 with the update for the police system, I've had the pleasure of meeting MaxTac several times now and what can I say........ They beat me up good
My father was a career member of MaxTech. He always had a lot of really fascinating stories to tell, even though there was so much more he either wasn't allowed to talk about, or were so disturbing that he'd be visably shaken and refuse to get into. Got a lot of respect for that man.
I liked their black gear and the way they gone away with flipping nods and just made them part of their helmet it looks so cool I forgot their name at first but watching them one shot some punks in the early game scene nailed how crazy powerful they were when it took a magazine of a shitty unity to kill a scav at first
In 2.0 maxtac are fucking monsters Especially when they arrive in their av you just get that loud siren basically saying "Congratulations! We are here to fuck your life up"
I'd actually like either a DLC or a sequel/ spin-off game where we can join Max-tac where our decisions lead to us either going cyber-psycho or not. I've always thought Max-tac was an interesting force despite not actually encountering them much in the game, but I'd still love to know more about them.
Max-Tac Policy of shot and Shot again IS probably one reason why the psychoattacks keep coming. The ones WHO are still Same enough to realize the onset of psychosis are very disinclinded to seek Help because that will likely be in the Form of a bullet.
A Whole precinct or a legion of rogue max-tac cyber psychos, as if cyber psychos weren't terrifying enough. With the right hackers/netrunners, etc in the cyberpunk 2077 universe, that could very well be a scenario. Good video!
Great vid. Gotta say I love the guy who told his wife, 'hey if I go crazy, dump a clip in me.' I hope he doesn't have any night terrors or bad dreams cause MaxTac will need to look for a replacement.
It's funny how they are so fearless and straight OP that not even the Corpos try to take over them, unlike NCPD, leaving them alone, fighting other cyberpsychos I would love more Melissa and V content in the announced Sequel, maybe even with Melissa explaining to V how she was reabilitated from her Cyberpsycosis...
Had my first encounter with MaxTac in the game yesterday and they were bloody terrifying. I killed Melissa Rory for her mantis blades after the Bullets quest and they chased me down for 20-30 minutes as I scrambled to lose the heat. They kept destroying every single car I got in leading to me having to scramble to find new vehicles every few minutes. It took me going deep off road in the badlands for them to finally lose my trail. I've seen Edgerunners and knew they were the best of the best but I did not expect it to carry into the game so well. Definitely one of the best experiences I've had in a game in the last few years.
If there's something psycho In your neighborhood Who you gonna call? Max-Tac! If there's something weird And it don't look nova Who you gonna call? Max-Tac!
Read a couple of Shadowrun novels in my 20's. Am pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying the Cyberpunk Netflix series. I love living in the future that is 2022!
Just found your channel and this is the content I have been wanting. From Pondsmith's original work to CDPR interpretation, there is so much more and so many stories to tell. Definitely got a subscriber now
You overlooked one aspect of Cyberpsychosis that is very important. But thats ok since it was basically sidelined in the game and anime: Psychological trauma. The high ammount of cases of cyberpsychosis are directly linked to the psychological trauma people experience in Night City's daily struggle. A life of crime ridden streets, backstabbing politics, merciless business and human drama and violence around every corner. In the Pen&Paper Original, you had a "humanity"-Counter wich, if it dropped to 0, would make you a cyberpsycho. And that humanity counter was under constant strain from the implants you bought, the potential crimes you comitted, the violence you saw and the trauma you received and caused. So in the original, it was not just the Chrome, it also was the dystopian hell of Night City, wich caused Cyberpsychosis. Thats why its so hard to rehabilitate cyberpsychos. What made them snap is often not just the chrome. It is Nightcity itself. love your videos and you really made me excited about cyberpunk again. Im giving it another shot!
9:28 This should be lead to the MAXTAC ENDING for V. (five missions against advanced adversaries and the final action with killed nomads (portrayed as "resistance like" insectoids) in V's Mind...
I would love a Cyberpunk game, in which we would be an NCPD character, with the possibility of being corrupt or not and with the chance of being a member of MaxTac.
I love the cyberpunk lore videos you make, and I greatly appreciate that you put some on Spotify. Could you add more onto Spotify? I tend to listen while I'm driving or doing other activities.
I always wonder how the hell do they get new members if they go full lethal on any and all forces their called on for? Do they kill them, ask for Arasaka to use the relic on them and use it to make a new soldier who doesn’t care about how many implants they get?
I have a feeling MaxTac didnt kill Melissa since she became docile after the killings, aka she was no longer hostile. Had Melissa turned the Mantis blades on MaxTac, she would have had her brain turned into a fine mist
This. It's about how much in control the psycho is able to regain. It's basically mental issues, with proper treatment one can recover, though borderline. Melissa is still a sadistic person from her lines even though she is in control
Maxtac: we need top shelf mechanical augmentations to be able to counter the crazed gunmen of the streets Angry main character with a stun baton named Tinkerbell:
Fun fact if you kill Melissa and somehow get away from maxtac afterward she will drop her 2013 mantis blades and you can equip them I don’t think they make you go crazy in game tho. I got it because I had the best sandevistian and double jump combined with dash.
@@WiseFish I mean that intro when you're driving with Jackie they are some badasses, taking care of those psychos like they where nothing with some extreme proficiency but, I wish that translated into gameplay maybe I would commit less crimes in gameplay.
Main reason IS that the Police comes in dropplets instead of waves. You dont even realise that you fighting max tac Most of the time. They should come in in the avs with Styll
Loving these vids or yours, TY. BTW, 15:31 That's not JK, but David's ripper doc you're showing there (I suppose you could just have been showing the BD and where David got it, but why not show the legendary editor himself?)
A friend of mine came up with a theory about James that I honestly adore and fits with what we see in Cyberpunk 2077. When you go around hunting Cyber-psychos, you need to find out just WHAT made them snap and send the detes to Regina. Now, mind you, though I think the implants DO help a BIT to cause Cyber-psychosis, it seems like what REALLY causes it is the STRESS these people go through. Like... going postal basically. Life constantly crushing on top of them will eventually have their toll. Now, as for the theory he came up with James: It wasn't simply a "burst of violence". James was way too well prepared. He bought a whole ARSENAL with him. When we first see him, he's looking down, as if he's internally preparing himself for something big. Yes, we do believe he's suffering from Cyber-Psychosis, but not the "kill everything in sight" type. What my friend theorized is that James pretty much committed "suicide by cop". James went all the way to the Corpo Plaza, armed to teeth, apparently not having killed anybody on his way there. And only truly started killing once he found some police. Now, with all the crime and killings in Night City, there's not always a GARUANTEE the police will show up to stop them. You can see that as you play the Cyberpsycho missions in Cyberpunk 2077, neither the police NOR Max-Tac show up before V, which suggests that the Police would rather not get involved and Max-Tac takes a while to get notified. Now, the Police does show up every once in a while in the form of corpses in a FEW Cyberpsycho sightings, but not all, so James decides to make the process quicker and just go right for somewhere with high police activity to start his massacre, aimed SOLELY at cops by the way, which would prompt the Police to call Max-Tac WAY faster than they normally would. Now, you must be wondering "Okay, if James wanted to die so bad, why didn't he just off himself?" We see the very reason the moment the police starts firing at James. He was essentially bullet-proof. Nothing they did could even BEGIN to damage him at all, no matter how many rounds they spent on him. We had a fuckton of cops just magdumping him and he quite literally did not even flinch. Not to mention that considering his use of the sandervistan, and his fighting style, along with body language, he's still calm and somewhat AWARE of what he's doing. It doesn't look like a "manic episode", he seems like he's in full control of his body during this mess. Thing is: Because his body is essentially a TANK now, normal weapons just won't do. He can't just pop a bullet in his own head because it'll just bounce off. He KNOWS Max-Tac is the only thing that can put him out of his misery and he KNOWS he has to do something BIG for Max-Tac to take notice and come end him. Which is why we think when got taken down by Max-Tac, instead of trying to escape in any way, like he was so expertedly using his Sandervistan before Max-Tac's arrival, he just started shooting at will, even though his bullets were clearly doing jack to Max-Tac's advanced armor. It really puts into perspective how interesting Cyber-Psychos are. All the years in the military probably made the guy snap and decide to suicide by Max-Tac.
That, or he went on power trip, believing himself to be unkillable, maybe even unable to comprehend the idea of him dying. To me it felt like he was trying to provoke Max-Tac, targeting police officers to make sure Max-Tac would arrive sooner. This was definitely a premeditated thing, and it's hard to tell if it was a suicide, or if it was just search of a thrill of the challenge.
2:05 I’m still amazed people were worried about y2k, when computer engineers were casually joking about it because they knew there was little to no problem
Considering that David’s XBD and logo are found in one alleyway, wouldn’t it have been cool and made more sense if that’s where you got the militech apogee sandy in 2.0 instead of a random side gig?

Shot a civ by accident, a couple cops who made the encounter much more difficult at my very high level *of 7* and very quickly I decided, *I'm never killing a cop again*
They had me pinned in a corner huffing bounce back like I was asthmatic panic shooting the walls every time a pixel changed colour
Nothing like buying a baseball bat and seeing how far u can go lol
@@aleccarroll7328 I expected them to be deadly but they die like flies.
@@sitrueis4007early game they are due to their matrix like move but it quickly change once you hit 30, you should be on par with them.. heck i demolish them with legendary gorilla arms
I remember getting caught by MaxTac once and being the buffoon that I am, I decided it's a good idea to fight them.
The good idea turned out to be a awful one.
They become OP once you hit past level 51, each one feel like you’re fighting somebody with your build.. the net runners are insanely OP, everytime they shut my cyberware down, but my second heart, and pump, plus cyberpsycho(Fury) puts me over the edge vs them for a few waves.. I don’t have a Sandy, Berserker, or Quick Hack deck.. just Chrome.. I took off the training wheels, I’m pure chrome, no slowing time down with a press of a button, No Berserker rage , or making them commit Minecraft.. just pure chrome with Gorilla Arms, my World Breaker Hulk Build.
With the ammount of modifications that MaxTac agents have and they must know that most of them are dancing on the verge of cyberpsicosis, I believe they must have some sort of failsafe in their gear, like a killswitch or something in the helmet that could help their peers deal with a rogue agent.
You can actually find a shard in game that's an excerpt from a book written by a max tac officer talking about this very concept. He basically says that becoming a cyber psycho scares them more than anything.
I'm guessing they get first class psychological treatment and maybe meds to keep them from going over the edge themselves.
@@Unknown-ek1oxMaybe, I think Corpo V is shown to have a therapist so clearly mental health is taken seriously if there's enough money or the patient is valuable enough. I imagine maxtac officers, especially "ex" cyberpsychos would be under constant surveillance and have access to the best medical or mental health services
They probably have explosives embedded within their necks to ensure that if they go off they definitely go off
Max-Tac: We’ll always be here to protect you. That is, unless you get in the way of our protection. In which case, there will be no one left to protect you from us…
A city abandon by God’s would have a special police force made up of cyberpsychos that would be very happy to rip and tear anything that’s near the vicinity of a fellow cyberpsycho. Night city citizens truly are in safe hands.😺
It's funny how V always throws a spanner in the Cyberpunk universe's power scaling. MaxTac have to be absolitely chromed out to fight cyberpsychos but V can fight them alone while wearing fairly minimal chrome. Borgs are supposedly insanely strong, moreso that basically any non-borg barring very few exceptions, but V can take them down fairly easily. Using a Sandevistan too frequently can have devastating consequences on a person but V uses them with nearly no cooldown. MaxTac has an astonishingly high success rate in neutralizing cyberpsychos but V, if played like a psycho, could have an astonishingly high success rate in neutralizing MaxTac. They truly gave us an insane power level in this game.
Yeah i wish the game showed you get more borged out. Look at David he’s a literal mech with better gear than v yet gets stomped by Adam smasher. V destroys Adam smasher low diff in the actual game it makes no sense
@@GmanMusic12they are allegedly reworking boss fights, Adam Smasher especialy
Well a few things Kind of absolutely confirm that v is special
1: he’s got a chip that can resurrect his dead body multiple times and it’s implied that he got at least a little chromed up. Even if he isn’t full borg he’d have all of his body reinforced with top of the line stuff.
2: Even before the relic it’s fair to say that v was a competent merc considering they earned a name for themselves in a relatively short amount of time.
So like v is special but no more so then any of the other legendary figures in cyberpunk.
its common with videogames man, whatever
@@kaison12205V is special, and you’re right that he’s technically not more special than any legend, but she’s better than any legend prowess wise tbf.
MaxTac would make for a FANTASTIC DLC. Everything about this group fit perfectly with the dystopian nature of this franchise and there is so much potential from both narrative and gameplay perspective.
Instead we get a James bond dlc😅
Don't miss their next comic on February: Cyberpunk 2077: Psycho Squad.
@@victorcharles27 Bond, Mission Impossible and Alien Isolation DLC: 10/10.
Amazing video as usual. Overdrive looks absolutely stunning!
I like how you talk about these things as if you're some kind of reporter, especially around 9:58
Very cool
It's cool that if you kill Melissa Rory, you can loot her mantis blades. That sounds like a terrible idea, but they look really cool. Just know that the fight is tough, as you're cornered in a store with basically no cover and swarmed with MaxTac units.
I felt like it was a big let down when we didn't get any MAXTAC missions or even the option to join MAXTAC I don't know what the hell cdpr was thinking such a missed opportunity with both MAXTAC and trauma team .
Imagine the opportunity with the fact if you kill a corporat and the trauma team comes he was a trauma team customer and having to defend yourself from the coming trauma team
It would make a great dlc
CP2077 is just nothing but missed opportunity. But then again it Had it's own story it was following and IMO should have tighter up and focused more on that. The world is way to big in the lore sense that each Faction or setting can be it's own game.
Streetkidd, Nomads, and Corps are Big enough that they could each get their own Skyrim level game.
CYBERPUNK STREETKIDS, could be a game focused on well. A streetkid. Growing in the city around the gangs and police. Be one of the gang or Help put a stop to the rampages.
NOMADS, focus on the clans. Inside and out the city in the badlands. Learn what it means to be family.
CORPORATION, focus on the corporations and their environment. Join Militech or Arasaka(or hell a new startup) and you crawl and claw your way up the corporate ladder. Do you help the small company become a big dog or will it be crushed under your boot as you stand on the shoulders of Giants?
I had this thought so many times playing. How could they not have you interact even just a little bit with MAXTAC or Trama Team. Trauma Team also suffers the same thing. Maybe in future DLC =\
It comes down to development problems at the end of the day. You can find good documentaries on RUclips talking about the lack of people calling the shots on what aspects of the game needed to be hammered out and which to get cut, on top of trying to develop for as many platforms as possible and developing a new game engine for the game...while the game itself is being made on a work in progress game engine. They were riding the high of witcher 3 and paid the price
If they ever do New game+ they should use a maxtac character start as an explanation to why you have your batshit level gear😂
If they were still planning on updates or ever get the manpower to put out updates, itd be cool to get an expansion on different lifepaths, possibly only on ng+
I really wish that Melissa Rory would have had her own quest line where we get to explore her background more. Maxtac is the most underrated group in the lore IMO.
I'd love to see a DLC where you get to play as her and undergo MaxTac missions.
WiseFish, you genuinely have the best Cyberpunk videos; the best researched and written. Simply nova, Keep up the good work, choom.
Whenever I think of the BD V finds, I always think of a quote from David's Ripper.. "A cautionary tale.. for the next dreamer.." it seems V was that dreamer..
Would be great to see MaxTac hunting down Adam Smasher.
Probably has corporate immunity
Smasher's cybernetics are too OP for MaxTac, they'd be obliterated
Well, Adam has the best backing of all, the corporates. So that's a no
They'd lose lol
In the game, it takes only 4 MaxTac agents to defeat Smasher.
MaxTac sounds insane. Like who is running the whole thing ? Why do they have the capability to rehabilitate (repurpose) cyberpsychos ? Mysterious, might be the most powerful faction in the game.
They belong under ncpd
MaxTac is run by the NCPD. Worth noting is that MaxTac and it's leadership isn't inherently corrupt to the core, unlike more or less every other public organisation because everyone understands the severity and pure randomness of the Cyberpsychosis threat.
They have the capability because someone has to neutralise the cyberpsycho threat and they have proven themselves (100% success rate) to be effective.
Arasaka is the most powerful faction in the game because they have a massive supercarrier, the Kujira moored in the city harbour. Militech is a close second. Both of them have and operate actual militaries with top-of-the-line equipment they themselves manufacture, unlike the NCPD who purchases their equipment from suppliers, such as Arasaka and Militech.
@@Airay552 thanks for the run down.
You know when the first trailer for cyberpunk came out I thought that we would be playing as a member of maxtac.
Like we’d play a badass cybernetic supercop, That hunted down rogue cyborgs bladerunner style.
Maybe we could try to reconcile with our humanity despite us being what we are. Maybe we could choose to be absolute psychopaths. Or maybe we could end up to be on the wrong side of the law and be chased by our former maxtac people because we were set up by corrupt people in night city.
Then they revealed V as the PC
The original story I believe was about MaxTac but instead they changed it to the idea of cyberpsycosis and the relic. I do enjoy Vs story but damn I wished for more MaxTac and medical team
You just thought of a better game than the actual game itself.
I am still massively disappointed I paid 70$ for pre-ordering the game.
@@John.McMillan I'm sorry you didnt enjoy it. At this point in its life cycle it is on of the best games I have ever played.
@@WiseFish Imagine if they'd combo'd both of those things, V starts getting cyberpsycosis from years of stress and guilt as a max tac unit, you get to witness the slow at first then rapid break down in V as well as the city continuing to deteriorate around you.
@@John.McMillan it’s my favorite game of all time.
I would love to play a MaxTac DLC. The very first trailer of this game presented a max tac on full force and that was amazing
We may just have gotten that if they didn't do the whole game (plot) from scratch for the Johnny stuff instead.
Well, maybe the DLC will miraculously add a way to do radiant quests for MAX-TAC.
Honestly can’t wait for the dlc and all the nooks and crannies that will be discovered because that means more cyberpunk lore!
I do wonder how MaxTac would fair against Smasher, or how many MaxTac operators it would take to bring him down
*in universe lore
10
In the tabletop game they had anti tank weapons readily available in their vehicles and mecha/powersuit backup available within a few minutes.
Tbh a single squad will do the job. Adam is just heavily armed and experienced veteran. Don't think he is really that broken when compared to end game / maxtac level. The cyberpsycho in edgerunner (owner of David's sandi) is also a war vet, can't handle a squad of maxtac as well
@@Banana-cc5rxto be fair smasher has maintained a full grasp on reality and has about 50 years experience so he isn’t an ordinary veteran
@@kaison12205Smasher could probably take a few MaxTac out himself. Great self-ICE. Would probably take two or three squads to bring him down - unless they’re readily there with AT-4s or something that would wipe him with one HEAT round.
I cant get enough of your videos surrounding cyperpunk! never stop and i happily subscribed :)
Man i love your videos. Great work, great editing, deep lore diving, everything. You keep my love for cp77 alive and well
Learning about this stuff REALLY increases the enjoyment I get out of a game.
The experience is analogous to hearing a funny joke vs. hearing an inside joke.
The more you know, the better a joke becomes.
Thanks to the new 2.0 update in Cyberpunk 2077 with the update for the police system, I've had the pleasure of meeting MaxTac several times now and what can I say........
They beat me up good
My father was a career member of MaxTech. He always had a lot of really fascinating stories to tell, even though there was so much more he either wasn't allowed to talk about, or were so disturbing that he'd be visably shaken and refuse to get into. Got a lot of respect for that man.
I liked their black gear and the way they gone away with flipping nods and just made them part of their helmet it looks so cool
I forgot their name at first but watching them one shot some punks in the early game scene nailed how crazy powerful they were when it took a magazine of a shitty unity to kill a scav at first
In 2.0 maxtac are fucking monsters
Especially when they arrive in their av you just get that loud siren basically saying
"Congratulations! We are here to fuck your life up"
I'd actually like either a DLC or a sequel/ spin-off game where we can join Max-tac where our decisions lead to us either going cyber-psycho or not. I've always thought Max-tac was an interesting force despite not actually encountering them much in the game, but I'd still love to know more about them.
Appreciate the efforts you put into your videos 👍🏼
These videos are incredible, WiseFish. Thorough and high-quality. You are much appreciated, choombatta.
MaxTac Rogues sounds like a pretty cool setting idea
Max-Tac Policy of shot and Shot again IS probably one reason why the psychoattacks keep coming. The ones WHO are still Same enough to realize the onset of psychosis are very disinclinded to seek Help because that will likely be in the Form of a bullet.
disinclinded ?
Great video as always. Love your lore vids.
A Whole precinct or a legion of rogue max-tac cyber psychos, as if cyber psychos weren't terrifying enough. With the right hackers/netrunners, etc in the cyberpunk 2077 universe, that could very well be a scenario. Good video!
Great vid. Gotta say I love the guy who told his wife, 'hey if I go crazy, dump a clip in me.' I hope he doesn't have any night terrors or bad dreams cause MaxTac will need to look for a replacement.
Great vid dude! Your ability to weave lore and your own storytelling is wonderful! Thanks for the content man👍
15:21 I like how he was so gone he didn’t just move his barrels down two inches and shoot the guy in the mouth
Incredible work with this one! Really enjoyed learning more about these bloodthirsty psychopaths. Well played!
It's funny how they are so fearless and straight OP that not even the Corpos try to take over them, unlike NCPD, leaving them alone, fighting other cyberpsychos
I would love more Melissa and V content in the announced Sequel, maybe even with Melissa explaining to V how she was reabilitated from her Cyberpsycosis...
Had my first encounter with MaxTac in the game yesterday and they were bloody terrifying. I killed Melissa Rory for her mantis blades after the Bullets quest and they chased me down for 20-30 minutes as I scrambled to lose the heat. They kept destroying every single car I got in leading to me having to scramble to find new vehicles every few minutes. It took me going deep off road in the badlands for them to finally lose my trail. I've seen Edgerunners and knew they were the best of the best but I did not expect it to carry into the game so well. Definitely one of the best experiences I've had in a game in the last few years.
Realy enjoy these lore videos, good job dude and thank for making them!
If there's something psycho
In your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
Max-Tac!
If there's something weird
And it don't look nova
Who you gonna call?
Max-Tac!
Read a couple of Shadowrun novels in my 20's. Am pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying the Cyberpunk Netflix series. I love living in the future that is 2022!
Love all the Cyberpunk Lore
Just found your channel and this is the content I have been wanting. From Pondsmith's original work to CDPR interpretation, there is so much more and so many stories to tell. Definitely got a subscriber now
This is so well made lol keep making these lore videos
MaxTac: "Joins us"
Me: "How do I say yes?!?!?!?!"
You overlooked one aspect of Cyberpsychosis that is very important. But thats ok since it was basically sidelined in the game and anime: Psychological trauma.
The high ammount of cases of cyberpsychosis are directly linked to the psychological trauma people experience in Night City's daily struggle.
A life of crime ridden streets, backstabbing politics, merciless business and human drama and violence around every corner.
In the Pen&Paper Original, you had a "humanity"-Counter wich, if it dropped to 0, would make you a cyberpsycho. And that humanity counter was under constant strain from the implants you bought, the potential crimes you comitted, the violence you saw and the trauma you received and caused.
So in the original, it was not just the Chrome, it also was the dystopian hell of Night City, wich caused Cyberpsychosis. Thats why its so hard to rehabilitate cyberpsychos. What made them snap is often not just the chrome. It is Nightcity itself.
love your videos and you really made me excited about cyberpunk again. Im giving it another shot!
MaxTac is like Bladerunner and Robocop combine, cool 😎
Could you imagine being the sole member of a MaxTac squad who wasn't a rehabilitated cyberpsycho?
I love all your cyberpunk content ❤
9:28 This should be lead to the MAXTAC ENDING for V. (five missions against advanced adversaries and the final action with killed nomads (portrayed as "resistance like" insectoids) in V's Mind...
I would love a Cyberpunk game, in which we would be an NCPD character, with the possibility of being corrupt or not and with the chance of being a member of MaxTac.
Your videos are fire after this and the trama team one I’m all in my guy great job like seriously shits really good 👍
Many thanks for this excellent video!
4:39 "psycho psychoisis", the psycho to end all psychopath....
Really great video! Max-tac strike that awsome balance of terrifying and badass!
I love the cyberpunk lore videos you make, and I greatly appreciate that you put some on Spotify. Could you add more onto Spotify? I tend to listen while I'm driving or doing other activities.
I always wonder how the hell do they get new members if they go full lethal on any and all forces their called on for?
Do they kill them, ask for Arasaka to use the relic on them and use it to make a new soldier who doesn’t care about how many implants they get?
Liked and subbed. What a great video!
awesome. loved them in Edgerunner too.
Oh boy this is gonna be good
I have a feeling MaxTac didnt kill Melissa since she became docile after the killings, aka she was no longer hostile. Had Melissa turned the Mantis blades on MaxTac, she would have had her brain turned into a fine mist
This. It's about how much in control the psycho is able to regain. It's basically mental issues, with proper treatment one can recover, though borderline. Melissa is still a sadistic person from her lines even though she is in control
MaxTac is powerful asf, I run as soon as I hear the alarm on their aircraft go off 💀
my god they made a Cloaker Clone Army
when I saw the first trailer I thought we were going to play as one of the members of MaxTac, I was quite disappointed that we weren't
Melissa: You're just like one of us.
Me casually sending a cyberpsycho into cyber-hell for funzies with a rogue AI before they arrived: Correct madam.
Awesome video 🎉🎉🎉
Maxtac: we need top shelf mechanical augmentations to be able to counter the crazed gunmen of the streets
Angry main character with a stun baton named Tinkerbell:
Max Tac is one of those situations where you don't know which move would be worse. Disbanding them or keeping them operational.
Good stuff. Commenting for the algorithm
you should do a video about the importance of someone like blackhand or what the rest of the world is doing during this time.
Awesome lore breakdown! Really enjoyed this content
Fun fact if you kill Melissa and somehow get away from maxtac afterward she will drop her 2013 mantis blades and you can equip them I don’t think they make you go crazy in game tho. I got it because I had the best sandevistian and double jump combined with dash.
I could see V being the literal embodiment of the Devil for MaxTech.
Maxtac in lore is some ultra gigachad who stomps on cyberpsychos like ants, in gameplay they are ...
I know right? In my recordings I killed 5 of them with relative ease, pretty bad considering they’re meant to be able to deal with Cyberpsychos easily
@@WiseFish I mean that intro when you're driving with Jackie they are some badasses, taking care of those psychos like they where nothing with some extreme proficiency but, I wish that translated into gameplay maybe I would commit less crimes in gameplay.
Main reason IS that the Police comes in dropplets instead of waves. You dont even realise that you fighting max tac Most of the time. They should come in in the avs with Styll
I feel like edgerunners really helped showing how terrifying maxtac is
They're called the Psycho Squad for good reason ... and it's not because of who they fight.
Loving these vids or yours, TY. BTW, 15:31 That's not JK, but David's ripper doc you're showing there (I suppose you could just have been showing the BD and where David got it, but why not show the legendary editor himself?)
Keep up the good work on the video
A friend of mine came up with a theory about James that I honestly adore and fits with what we see in Cyberpunk 2077.
When you go around hunting Cyber-psychos, you need to find out just WHAT made them snap and send the detes to Regina.
Now, mind you, though I think the implants DO help a BIT to cause Cyber-psychosis, it seems like what REALLY causes it is the STRESS these people go through. Like... going postal basically. Life constantly crushing on top of them will eventually have their toll.
Now, as for the theory he came up with James:
It wasn't simply a "burst of violence". James was way too well prepared. He bought a whole ARSENAL with him. When we first see him, he's looking down, as if he's internally preparing himself for something big. Yes, we do believe he's suffering from Cyber-Psychosis, but not the "kill everything in sight" type.
What my friend theorized is that James pretty much committed "suicide by cop".
James went all the way to the Corpo Plaza, armed to teeth, apparently not having killed anybody on his way there. And only truly started killing once he found some police.
Now, with all the crime and killings in Night City, there's not always a GARUANTEE the police will show up to stop them. You can see that as you play the Cyberpsycho missions in Cyberpunk 2077, neither the police NOR Max-Tac show up before V, which suggests that the Police would rather not get involved and Max-Tac takes a while to get notified. Now, the Police does show up every once in a while in the form of corpses in a FEW Cyberpsycho sightings, but not all, so James decides to make the process quicker and just go right for somewhere with high police activity to start his massacre, aimed SOLELY at cops by the way, which would prompt the Police to call Max-Tac WAY faster than they normally would.
Now, you must be wondering "Okay, if James wanted to die so bad, why didn't he just off himself?"
We see the very reason the moment the police starts firing at James. He was essentially bullet-proof. Nothing they did could even BEGIN to damage him at all, no matter how many rounds they spent on him. We had a fuckton of cops just magdumping him and he quite literally did not even flinch. Not to mention that considering his use of the sandervistan, and his fighting style, along with body language, he's still calm and somewhat AWARE of what he's doing. It doesn't look like a "manic episode", he seems like he's in full control of his body during this mess.
Thing is: Because his body is essentially a TANK now, normal weapons just won't do. He can't just pop a bullet in his own head because it'll just bounce off. He KNOWS Max-Tac is the only thing that can put him out of his misery and he KNOWS he has to do something BIG for Max-Tac to take notice and come end him. Which is why we think when got taken down by Max-Tac, instead of trying to escape in any way, like he was so expertedly using his Sandervistan before Max-Tac's arrival, he just started shooting at will, even though his bullets were clearly doing jack to Max-Tac's advanced armor.
It really puts into perspective how interesting Cyber-Psychos are. All the years in the military probably made the guy snap and decide to suicide by Max-Tac.
That, or he went on power trip, believing himself to be unkillable, maybe even unable to comprehend the idea of him dying.
To me it felt like he was trying to provoke Max-Tac, targeting police officers to make sure Max-Tac would arrive sooner.
This was definitely a premeditated thing, and it's hard to tell if it was a suicide, or if it was just search of a thrill of the challenge.
Wake up babe, there is yet another Wisefish lore video😀
Seems a common thing tbh lol
Vsing MaxTac's convoy in Phatom Liberty was so satisfying. They stood no chance against my V.
Killing Melissa now gets you her Mantis Blades.
Just remember, when MaxTac rolls into the scene, bring a good supply of body bags.
With one of the new updates, if you get 6 stars and just keep killing, V starts to go cyberpsycho and you hear voices and the screen goes red
You sure it's not from the Edgerunner perk
2:05 I’m still amazed people were worried about y2k, when computer engineers were casually joking about it because they knew there was little to no problem
13:03 Imagine asking your wife to empty an entire pistol in your face. Imagine how the fck that convo is gona go.
Amazing work!
Considering that David’s XBD and logo are found in one alleyway, wouldn’t it have been cool and made more sense if that’s where you got the militech apogee sandy in 2.0 instead of a random side gig?
MaxTax in concept reminds me of Task Force Void Nova Hammer from the creepypasta “I’m a Guard Stationed at a Secret Government Prison”.
