    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Everyone bangs on about max tac but if you play the game there are militech soldiers with the same sort of gear but upgraded to widthstand harsher conditions and they likely have better training and support to as they are an actual army. Same glowing wire things on their arms (likely linear frames) and same sort of eye covering headsets only in a helmet form with a sort of blast shield cover.

    that's because militech is one of the biggest corps in the world and specializes in, well, military grade tech. nobody bangs on about them because it's simply expected they would have walking tank cyborgs loaded down with super weaponry. it's as obvious as saying the US military has nukes. people talk about Maxtac because these are, ostensibly, "police". they are expected to deal with the public and are called out into public places all the time. meanwhile, those militec cyborgs are basically only ever going to be involved in Militech matters. the average person would never see one of them unless they went to a Militech base or somehow got involved in a militech operation(extremely unlikely).
