When facing hostile NPCs in Cyberpunk 2077, remember that brains beat brawn every time. First, assess the situation – are you outnumbered, outgunned, or outmaneuvered? Use the environment to your advantage, whether it’s taking cover behind debris or luring enemies into traps. Keep a diverse arsenal to adapt to different threats; a mix of stealth, hacking, and combat skills can turn the tide in your favor. Stay adaptable and be ready to change tactics on the fly. And above all, stay cool under pressure – panic leads to mistakes. Outsmarting hostile NPCs is all about staying one step ahead and outthinking your opponents. Good luck out there, choombas!
