After all these years this music finally fits the in game gameplay, starting from initial anxiety and progressing towards a "You are not going to survive this" when Max tac comes in
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
@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
@@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 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
@@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
Everyone in game universe shits on the NCPD, but the one thing this track communicates extremely well is that when MaxTac shows up... it's not so funny anymore.
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.

@@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 my advise for you with Mantiss operator: use double "implant broke" script to destroy her sandevistan implant. Also use Reaction Branch scills like double jump and air run to evade her attack. Using militex berserk gives you abillity to kill mantiss operator in front combat with your own mantiss blades or katana, also use reaction branch skills for blades to cast heavy attacks with blades. And do not stay at one position if you're not under berserk. Active moves from reaction branch let you to fight with all maxtac crew at one time.
In the future when the NCPD and MaxTac gets a total overhaul, this theme will become that much more intense. Police cars pulling up the the scene in droves and Maxtac transports dropping units off to just put you down
Notice how this theme isn't like the others, it's not intense, and it's not all thrown at you. This theme tells you that you're probably doing something wrong
I adore this theme. As someone who loves to fight NCPD and Maxtac for skill experience, I listen to this often. I like the eerie part of this theme starting at 5:12, it actually makes you feel like you're doing something very wrong.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
0:00 the crime in detection, stealth in low wanting 1:31 patrolling police in combat 2:31 escape attempt, control theme 2:58 3rd wanting rank police in a combat 4:45 something wrong expecting 5:09 heavy battle police in assault, 4th and 5th wanting rank 5:40 active assault in high wanting rank 7:29 "The suspected has cyberpsycho, do not combat, MaxTac is arriving" 7:38 Max Tactical Batallion's avi landing 8:08 MaxTac in assault The part since 5:09 will repeat in 4 and 5 wanting rank until you've been slashed by MaxTac or escaped after tiring of combat
5:40 when you get bored so you make a quicksave and commit a mass shooting to test out the strength of your build against maxtac and you find out you're too strong for even them before reloading your save so that never happened
Funny how if you play on easy MaxTac are the only threat capable of putting you down in an instant. They really don’t screw around. When you hear those sirens… that’s when the fun begins. For MaxTac, that is.
NCPD/Max Tac in the trailers: "You would be a fucking *psycho* if you looked at them the wrong way. The bad news is that that's usually what they specialize in" NCPD/Max Tac in the Game: "Awww look at them try to chase after me"
@@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.*
The best part of this theme song is the fact that it was built in 3 sections, and as your "stars" increase when you commit crimes, the song enters another section, 4 stars it starts the 5:40 mark.
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.
I tried to go cyberpsycho today, it was intense but doable. Then MaxTac showed up On my second attempt I waited for MaxTac to arrive, and was surprised when they straight up disabled my cars and bikes
Sees achievements: the APB is not enough. Butcher Barghest until 5* Max Tac arrives Pulls out militech canto mk 6 / Erebus. If they call V, they're all screwed, even Max Tac.
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.
live a long and boring life like everyone else, die of old age smelling of piss and be forgotten forever? or live a short life and be remembered for decades... when you lose the only person you loved in the world, you know what decision I made, and while I do it, I'll be listening to this same song.
After that sad part with Evelyn Parker, after watching Edgerunners, after that "I wanna stay at your house" song came on...I snapped and went to Corpo plaza to go on a killing spree. Music perfectly synced with me going cyberpsycho and killing everyone. Wish MaxTac would have put up a better fight because I was trying to die out there. I feel like they need a 5th star on your crime spree where it just become unbeatable.
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.
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.
I've only heard this twice and both times were only for 30 seconds. Edit: 3 years later and these chromed-out sociopaths on the “good side” of the law have been fully redeemed. Mind you, they were always difficult, but now they traded in teleportation for well-programmed tactics and overwhelming brutal numbers. And I still won’t fight them.
I used to fight the NCPD for a while just to get the hype from this song. Pre last update they were pretty easy to fight until they stopped spawning if you went a body, blades and crafting/tech build. Now they don’t stop spawning I think and get progressively harder
@@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
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 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.
Man this SLAPS and feels like you're taking on Night City! I recently got this game yesterday and holy crap i'm having a blast! I went full on panic mode when the police chased me and they're not messing around!! I died a couple of times cause i never driven a car on the PS5. 😂😂
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.
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
They needa add it where if u kill and survive like 10 mins from 4 Stars then a Speical Mech Spawns that can give good loot if killed but its a boss Bruh my Nomad is very tanky and the cops still almost 1 tap with 2 stars these guys are insane💀
@@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.
Everyone talks about Maxtech, but if you sleep on 4 star, you'll end up with 30ish robos and heavies messing your day. Still no joke unless you keep moving.
Today, what started as a simple police chase escalated in several hundred casualties, including one maxtac heavy. The skirmish ended when yours truly ran out of ammo, died, got revived by the second heart cyberware, took the hint and ran ALL the way to the badlands to escape the watchful gaze of the NCPD. Fun.
I love how this theme isn't as intense as the other combat themes, really makes Max tac sound and look like a professional unit that can hold their own against even the biggest threats.
If you go body and have a blunt weapon or have anything that can stun really, you can stun maxtac agents and grab them from behind to kill them instantly.
I played this after edgerunners and I never got the complaints about maxtac. I guess they got fixed? Sure I play on the hardest difficulty but i was given the impression they're as easy as a squad of adam smashers. Instead they one shot me before i can even process they're there
The sense I have is that MaxTac was a bunch of pushovers in this game. This was categorically NOT so in the tabletop game I played in. They were a force to be avoided.
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.
7:39 uh command were going to need maxtac on this one his combat power is on the level with a cyberphycosis victim Maxtac "finally someone that isn't completely insane"
Was harrased a few months back, a bully following me whenever I went, i bolted and ran for a good hour while he and his goons tried chasing me, this music was running in my mind back then.
Ah yeah. Mowing down BARGHEST goons in Dogtown was fun. Then MaxTac appeared and it went like this: "HA! MaxTac?! I'll destroy you like all those mooks! Time to d- wait, boss health bar? Half my health bar gone in two shots? It was a thunderbolt sniper shot to the head, why so little damage!? THEY HAVE SANDEVISTAN TOO?!!" "Alright, round two. Different save file; re-spec to netrunner build. Why are quickhacks so expensive?! Cyberware Malfunction qued twice. It didn't slow him down! Overclock! Suicide Quickhack! *_JUST TEN PERCENT DAMAGE?!"_* Yeah never tried that again.
I was around level 30 when I decided to screw around with the NCPD. I was fairly confident since my Ashura sniper rifle was easily one-shotting all the police responding. I didn't think much of MaxTac when they dropped in but when I decided to do a headshot on the heavy MaxTac officer, my mouth dropped when I realized it only took off around ten percent of his health. Then he started healing. Then I remembered he was bringing along three friends.
5:09 Внимание у подозреваемой киберпсихоз, в бой не вступать, выслан отряд МаксТак. Тем временем я: Приветствую дорогие подписчики, мы ведём прямую трансляцию из Найт-Сити сегодня на стриме вас ждёт двухчасовая смешная нарезка операторов МаксТак...
Honestly wish this went harder, and if there was a higher level than 4, since even at level 4 there's hardly any maxtac officers or ncpd officers and given how I one shot them with a shovel,, yeah. Not too much fun fighting them compared to stuff like valentinos, or anything with The Rebel Path, which are fucking sick songs when you're the most dangerous assassin in night city capable of killing an entire camp of mercs in an instant with nobody the wiser.
Even though the one time I fought MaxTac was part of the main mission, the support Reed gave V made things too easy. I have yet to go on a cyberpsycho rampage though, I haven't tested V's chrome demigod powers on a real full MaxTac squad...

@@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

MaxTac is just the cyberpunk version of Payday's Cloakers
Both are annoying as shit.
MaxTac is more similar to the Judges from Dredd.
Funny how if you play on easy MaxTac are the only threat capable of putting you down in an instant. They really don’t screw around.
When you hear those sirens… that’s when the fun begins. For MaxTac, that is.
They're called the Apex predators of Night City for a reason.
NCPD/Max Tac in the trailers: "You would be a fucking *psycho* if you looked at them the wrong way. The bad news is that that's usually what they specialize in"
NCPD/Max Tac in the Game: "Awww look at them try to chase after me"
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.*
“Nothing personal, Samurai”
The best part of this theme song is the fact that it was built in 3 sections, and as your "stars" increase when you commit crimes, the song enters another section, 4 stars it starts the 5:40 mark.
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.
I wouldn't say "most". Dynamic music is fairly uncommon @@futuza
I tried to go cyberpsycho today, it was intense but doable. Then MaxTac showed up
On my second attempt I waited for MaxTac to arrive, and was surprised when they straight up disabled my cars and bikes
Sees achievements: the APB is not enough.
Butcher Barghest until 5*
Max Tac arrives
Pulls out militech canto mk 6 / Erebus.
If they call V, they're all screwed, even Max Tac.
The best theme in the game is by far the least used one. Thanks, CDPR.
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.
live a long and boring life like everyone else, die of old age smelling of piss and be forgotten forever? or live a short life and be remembered for decades... when you lose the only person you loved in the world, you know what decision I made, and while I do it, I'll be listening to this same song.
Yo wtf? 😧
Nahh bruh you tweakinn dont do it 😭😭
Love how the climax of this track gives a 'YOU are the one on the run' vibe. MaxTac will fold your shit.
Gotta love how the latest updates made MaxTac a force that could probably drop Adam Smasher if they had to.
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
@youngflashy7181 Most people aren't going to have a super optimized overpowered build, Smasher is still probably difficult for most players.
After that sad part with Evelyn Parker, after watching Edgerunners, after that "I wanna stay at your house" song came on...I snapped and went to Corpo plaza to go on a killing spree. Music perfectly synced with me going cyberpsycho and killing everyone. Wish MaxTac would have put up a better fight because I was trying to die out there. I feel like they need a 5th star on your crime spree where it just become unbeatable.
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?
0:01 V when he realizes that the people he just zeroed for a gig are undercover police
I've only heard this twice and both times were only for 30 seconds.
Edit: 3 years later and these chromed-out sociopaths on the “good side” of the law have been fully redeemed. Mind you, they were always difficult, but now they traded in teleportation for well-programmed tactics and overwhelming brutal numbers.
And I still won’t fight them.
Lol yea the cops are easy to out run there just tough on Hard and Very Hard if you fight them fairly
I used to fight the NCPD for a while just to get the hype from this song. Pre last update they were pretty easy to fight until they stopped spawning if you went a body, blades and crafting/tech build. Now they don’t stop spawning I think and get progressively harder
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

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

The game is slowly recovering....
Edit: yes it did. And it's one of the best games out there.
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.
Man this SLAPS and feels like you're taking on Night City! I recently got this game yesterday and holy crap i'm having a blast! I went full on panic mode when the police chased me and they're not messing around!! I died a couple of times cause i never driven a car on the PS5. 😂😂
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
They needa add it where if u kill and survive like 10 mins from 4 Stars then a Speical Mech Spawns that can give good loot if killed but its a boss
Bruh my Nomad is very tanky and the cops still almost 1 tap with 2 stars these guys are insane💀
Me I have a tanky level 30 odd street kid character and I was easily surviving maxtac with just a katana (since those guys decide to be agile as hell)
Full armadillo with like 2 body perks ND they can barley hurt me on very hard
@@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

damn, i can't wait to have this play at its full potential when the new update comes out and the new and scarier looking police are gonna be like

He could have gotten it from the game folder that has all of the files and every song in the game
@@DARK_AMBIGUOUS thanks Sherlock
5:40 everyone's favorite part let's be honest
Today, what started as a simple police chase escalated in several hundred casualties, including one maxtac heavy. The skirmish ended when yours truly ran out of ammo, died, got revived by the second heart cyberware, took the hint and ran ALL the way to the badlands to escape the watchful gaze of the NCPD. Fun.
Well damn I havent heard this ingame until update 2.0
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 :^)
I absolutely love how they incorporated the original NCPD siren into this song. And they kept it in after changing the siren!
You know what I love more about the corporations in cyberpunk, it's about who has the deadliest secret weapon
This is Max-Tac theme instead for me LOL
This music goes hard when responding to calls.
After 2.0, the music finally fits now.
The sequel needs to add all of this songs😢
It is interesting that if you go on a long rampage the max tac officers' morale starts breaking.
They stop 100 percent after you kill oodles of them and your stars disappear
I love how this theme isn't as intense as the other combat themes, really makes Max tac sound and look like a professional unit that can hold their own against even the biggest threats.
6:40 (activates Sandivistan slashing Maxtac and the NCPD with a Katana)
If you go body and have a blunt weapon or have anything that can stun really, you can stun maxtac agents and grab them from behind to kill them instantly.
Ah yes.. the music that plays when testing out your builds
That + a MAXTAC chase in the BIOTechnica flats : 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I start wars in down town NC just to hear this.
*glows yellow*
AHAHAHAHAH!!
HAHAHAHAH!!
*kills every ncpd and max tac in my sight*
The beat pretty much sounds like a shotgun firing and then being chambered again, usually what SWAT teams use.

// POLICE ASSAULT IN PROGRESS //
I played this after edgerunners and I never got the complaints about maxtac. I guess they got fixed? Sure I play on the hardest difficulty but i was given the impression they're as easy as a squad of adam smashers. Instead they one shot me before i can even process they're there
The sense I have is that MaxTac was a bunch of pushovers in this game. This was categorically NOT so in the tabletop game I played in. They were a force to be avoided.
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.
Not anymore
5 stars reached - This is where the fun begins!
7:39 uh command were going to need maxtac on this one his combat power is on the level with a cyberphycosis victim
Maxtac "finally someone that isn't completely insane"
The best part is at 7:10
"all units - suspect is a confirmed cyberpsycho! do not engage! a maxtac squad has been dispatched!"

Sadly, unlike both of those, you really don't have much of a choice besides being just that lol

5:11 \\\ MaxTac Assault in Progress \\\
Was harrased a few months back, a bully following me whenever I went, i bolted and ran for a good hour while he and his goons tried chasing me, this music was running in my mind back then.
Ah yeah. Mowing down BARGHEST goons in Dogtown was fun. Then MaxTac appeared and it went like this:
"HA! MaxTac?! I'll destroy you like all those mooks! Time to d- wait, boss health bar? Half my health bar gone in two shots? It was a thunderbolt sniper shot to the head, why so little damage!? THEY HAVE SANDEVISTAN TOO?!!"
"Alright, round two. Different save file; re-spec to netrunner build. Why are quickhacks so expensive?! Cyberware Malfunction qued twice. It didn't slow him down! Overclock! Suicide Quickhack! *_JUST TEN PERCENT DAMAGE?!"_*
Yeah never tried that again.
I was around level 30 when I decided to screw around with the NCPD. I was fairly confident since my Ashura sniper rifle was easily one-shotting all the police responding. I didn't think much of MaxTac when they dropped in but when I decided to do a headshot on the heavy MaxTac officer, my mouth dropped when I realized it only took off around ten percent of his health. Then he started healing. Then I remembered he was bringing along three friends.
When this song plays and you are slaughtering max tac en mass.... V really is a god.
when the beat drops, you know what's up
"I'm gonna fucking WIPE you!"
NCPD update pros and cons

5:11 the best

Only thing dropping harder than this beat is MaxTacs dropping out of their aircar to stomp your ass into the ground.
Would be funny if during the River Ward quests, if he found out you've heard this theme play, he'd suddenly get a whole lot less interested in you.
Honestly wish this went harder, and if there was a higher level than 4, since even at level 4 there's hardly any maxtac officers or ncpd officers and given how I one shot them with a shovel,, yeah. Not too much fun fighting them compared to stuff like valentinos, or anything with The Rebel Path, which are fucking sick songs when you're the most dangerous assassin in night city capable of killing an entire camp of mercs in an instant with nobody the wiser.
They called in MaxTac. Run!
we burning the city with this one samurai
Even though the one time I fought MaxTac was part of the main mission, the support Reed gave V made things too easy. I have yet to go on a cyberpsycho rampage though, I haven't tested V's chrome demigod powers on a real full MaxTac squad...
you can cut through them like butter with a blade build and sandy lol. build is too op
Should be titled “V Prowling NCPD Combat Theme” 🤪
