When it comes to outsmarting hostile NPCs in Cyberpunk 2077, the key is to always stay one step ahead of them. Use distractions to lure them into traps or ambushes, hack their implants to disrupt their systems, or even go for non-lethal takedowns to avoid raising too much attention. Remember, blending into the environment and using the elements to your advantage can make a huge difference. Stay sharp, adapt to their tactics, and always have a backup plan in case things go sideways. In Night City, survival often depends on your wit and quick thinking, so keep your cool and show those hostile NPCs who’s boss. Good luck out there, choombas!
