@@hazekush305 Do you mean the very last story mission in the game? I'm still in the process of getting there. Otherwise he doesn't show at the end of this one (The Heist)
I just got to Konpeki Plaza after the Heist mission, you just have to swim a bit... I wonder if the location is acessible before The Heist and whats there...
So hey, question. Can you go back to see if you can kill when he first gets out of the elevator? If you wait long enough after T-Bug tells you to hide, Adam actually just stolls out of the elevator to try and kill you. Note sure if he is unkillable here or not...
To be fair, by the time you end up fighting smasher, you have a comparable ammount of cyberware in your body that David had before the battlemech. The mechsuit was a bad match against smasher, but perfect to mow down the rest of Arasaka security.
@@kittystcherbatski67 Not quite, Smasher hates Arasaka, he only works for them because he almost died and they rebuilt him in exchange for his merc contract, but he could not care less about normal organics.
In the actual game if you go out naked V will always wear at least shorts (but no bra) even if in the menu she is completely naked, so there is at least one decency law that isn't broken!
The real reason he can see you probably has nothing to do with his character, cyberwear, or story. The real reason is probably because he's the only one in the room who's an actual enemy character model that you fight later, and that model is being used in a scripted event. Sounds like two seperate systems interfering with each other and causing weird things to happen
@@Khrazegaming he has military grade combat optics and sensors (Thermal/Radar/Zoom/Audio Enhancers). He most definitely would see you through the glass.
@@Khrazegaming my headcannon is that saburo was meant to die all along and adam knew about it so when he saw the player he thought itd be a good person to put the blame on
Considering that one of the quickhacks is ping that reveals enemy locations, it's not a stretch to imagine that Adam knew V and Jackie were hidden, but didn't say anything as it would interrupt the assassination and hostile takeover of Arasaka, and counter hacking to reveal location exists. Besides, he knew where you were going to escape judging by the fact that he explodes out of the building to smash into your car. He likely figured he could destroy you at leisure and didn't factor in Delamain.
Unfortunately, you're wrong about half of that. Can't use quickhacks from either Berserk or Sandevistan OS, only cyberdecks. I'd wager Takemura realized when he looked directly at V and Jackie through the one way screen, probably used ping right then.

Adam knows you're there, that's why the response team finds you so quickly, and knows to look for you and Jackie. Takemura didn't "fold", he was smart to play it the way he did. The father was already dead, feigning allegiance gave him time to gather intel, find you, make a plan, and most importantly not get killed by Adam.
And you could tell Adam was ready to kill him on yurinobus word cause he waited for takemura to leave first so he could follow behind. Dude is glorified serial killer waiting for his next piece of fuckable meat
Its a bug... If he knew, he would smash the shit out of that glass pane, with you included, the second code red was initiated to get his fame/prize for catching the "assasins of Saburo".
@@daaouss hay man, you think what you want. I choose to believe that he knew. Makes the story and events even better. The way I see it, he saw us. His priority was the son. He stared us down, ready to act if we made a move. He then radioed in assassin's in the penthouse. And waited downstairs for us once he got his priority to saftey. This guy likes to play with his food. Makes perfect sense and is totally plausible.
Just as? Probably MORE likely to be a mistake. I haven't played through all the game yet (still pretty early in act 2). But I figure the bot is there because there are different kinds of NPCs Killable and non-klllable. Again, I haven't played much beyond the prologue, and I'm not even gonna finish this video because I sense spoilers, but I figure that you're probably gonna be able to fight Smasher at some point. As such, he needs to have certain interactions with your abilities whereas someone like Saburo should have none. Outside of the narative of the scene and only in the technical game sense, everyone in that room probably "notices" you, but everyone already has their behavior preprogrammed, so the Smasher model won't act on being aware of your model, and you won't know the other models are aware of you because they don't interact with your abilities. I don't know much about game developing so take my guess with a grain of salt, but I do still suspect that I'm right. That said, Smasher detecting you without the urge to do anything and you only being able to know about it if you happened upon certain cyberware, would be quite a fun little easter egg, if that's even the right word for it.
@@oOPPHOo i mean hes also looking directly at you, and his chest seems to be doing some sort of scan so the odds are its likely he did know you were there.
@@oOPPHOo I have not finished the game either but you interact with Takamura in the Game later... I‘ll try if you can attack him and get him into a combat-stance. If that is possible, the detection is a developer-decision. (I think those are civilian models without combat-AI though)
I think the reason Goro or Yorinobu is not highlighted is simple: they’re not tagged as enemies in a game engine (spoiler: Goro will be on your side), while Adam is always an enemy. The detection system probably works fine, just Adam programmed to do nothing but play role in a cutscene. If you stop cutscene somehow, I’m sure he’ll be attacking you while others just stay around.
It's cause he knows you're there. You are the scapegoat for Saburo's murder, it's pretty obvious since he stares at you the whole time and only attacks you once you "surprisingly" make it out of Konpeki alive
It's almost like the whole "job" was a setup for you to be there, and framed for Saburo's death.. and you getting away with the relic was a pure accident.
Smasher is probably coded that way to always see you, since he's later used for a boss battle where he's always able to detect you and know where you are, they've already had that written in in this cutscene.
@@beaawsome2211 Not exactly. You can easily find some video about how to defeat Smasher in stealth on UA-cam. But then again, I believe it is only a bug that CDPR ignored in the Heist mission.
I just did the scene again and only focused on Smasher with zoom even the whole time...Smasher is standing ALWAYS facing you the ENTIRE TIME, never taking his eyes off you. Even when he leaves he looks over his shoulder at you. He never faces his employer, Saburo or Takashi. He only ever... looks... at... YOU. ...implant says so too. It would be an absurd coincidence if the implant saying he has detected you is a bug AND the devs just happening to have his body and head be facing you and only you in two instances.
It's not really a *bug* per se, more of an oversight. Since it's just that they used the same stuff from his boss fight at the end. There it *makes sense* for him to always know where you are and always be facing you, so that's what he's programmed to do. CAN still work canonically though, which may well be why it's stayed around. Kinda like a nice easter egg thing
@@chrisc1140 we’re assuming either way.. devs weirdly paid attention to detail in some places and then ignored it in others, so really we have no idea if this particular thing was intentional
Thats not an oversight tho CDPR has done it on purpose 1000%, such thing is easily avoidable in RPG games by making 2-3 different NPC's so 1 would be Adam Smasher the boss fight which is the main one, the other would be Adam Smasher just for the scene that behaves differently and is not a Boss and does not keep an eye at V at all times it takes seconds for them to make a new "Actor" and do this, CDPR are not a bunch of idiots if they can make such a game, they would have know about this trick that Bethesda and other RPG Games pull off all the time@@superjuliracing
It'd be the biggest Easter egg that Adam knew you were there all along and was colluding to kill the old man. It'd make so much sense - let you get "caught" by the MedTac team, and then have the excuse to kill you and Jackie as the scapegoat.
In the old Baldur´s Gate games there was "Biff the Understudy" who came in and played the role for essential characters that got killed off by a bug or cheat. That would be great for Adam Smasher too. Instead of that war cyborg there is a small actor who says the line and has to fulfill the final battle at Arasaka.

For those curious, it's because all bosses in the game have a script attached to their AI that automatically detects you so all of them have that red overlay. That said it's likely Adam can 100% see us anyways, it's just that the red overlay in gameplay is because of the script, even bosses that aren't aware of you show up as red. In the story however Smasher likely doesn't do anything about us because he hasn't been told to do anything about us yet, he only attacks Del because Yorinobu probably told him to stop us. He gets shit done and if he hasn't been paid to do something boring (like killing 2 bit-part runners) he won't do it, likewise if he wants to do something you really need to keep him on a leash somehow, whether it be cash or new tech he wants.
Adam Smasher is sadistic cyberpsycho since like early 2000, there's no way he won't take the chance to kill two intruders right where they stay, it's not about money
@@Vitalis94 Why would he care about Johnny at all? And I quote, from the AHQ Bombing mission: "Told ya Johnny boy. Told you I'd end you someday." Implication of a big rivalry there. Then Smasher doesn't actually end up killing Johnny after all, and being Yorinobu's personal bodyguard it's not far-fetched to assume he knows about the chip. Being that chromed, it's also not far-fetched to assume he could scan your character. Smasher would know that as long as Arasaka owned the chip, Johnny would be out of his reach. And uh, he didn't recognize Johnny during the final mission because he's in a different body, with a different voice.
@@SWnerdGUY No, no. I ment that in the actual canon, you know, in Cyberpunk 2020, he doesn't even know who Johnny is. It is also implied in the game that what we see in the flashbacks are just blatant lies, Johnny sees himself as the one who came up with the whole plan for the raid, while in reality it was Morgan Blackhand who was hired by Millitech to attack the HQ. Rogue even says during some mission that V shouldn't belive any word of what Johnny says. There is also another implication.... I belive by Hellman? Basically, Silverhand we see in the game is just an 80% complete engram of his real self. Like, those 20% are just the stuff the software thinks Johnny would say or think. He was at the Arasaka HQ that night, but the reason he is so badass during the whole mission is that's how he remembers that event. Or the software thinks he would recall it that way. He is making himself out to be a bigger deal than he actually was. In Cyberpunk lore, Silverhand was just that one egoistic rockerboy, no one really special. On the other hand, he wasn't as big of an asshole as he is in the game, he truly cared for his friends there.
No, he seems geniunely surprised if you let him know about Johnny after the boss fight. In all likelihood, Smasher, a grade-A sadistic psychopath, just decided to let V and Jackie stew in there for his own amusement before hunting them down.
Given how loaded Adam's current cyborg suit is... (the IEC Dragoon) I think with all the sensory tech that comes on that thing stock, Adam most definitely knows you're there. Oversight or not, the Dragoon full-body suit is like a one-man army.
@ThatCattieroGuy Potentially. Personally, I would've just hard-animated a model with none of the logic whatsoever. I can't imagine the cutscene uses any of AS's logic at all, really.
It would have been way better optimized if he wasn't a complete instance of himself, but they put 30,000 vertices on some lady's butt so they probably don't care. Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V
@@NathanielPayday I mean, he would already have his walking animations and for the cutscene he just stands there in an A pose. Easier than custom animating him.
On my first playthrough, I managed to glitch Adam Smasher in the finale and kill him with his projectiles and my weapons. Has anyone else encountered this glitch?
As far as Adam is concerned, you being there is perfect timing for what’s coming next. Between him and Takemura you pose no threat to his boss, but will make the perfect fall guy
The bodyguard doesn't detect you because his boss distracts him mid-scan. The game actually says unauthorized scanning in progress when the bodyguard is in front of you
In fairness, everybody who was anybody knew that Yorinobu murdered Saburo. Hanako only decided to use it against him when she realized that now he was trying to murder her as well.
Takemura doesn't detect you because he uses the same implants as you, and he is stopped by Saburo before the scan is complete. He even mentions it. It's right there in the dialogue.
It is unlikely that they coded the game in such a way that it would be the same physical instalment of Adam popping up there. It's possible ofcourse, just very unlikely.
@@SAMMY_ELWAY It's possible to finish the game without having them killed and still take your body. In the secret ending you storm arasaka tower alone with Johnny, and if you succeed, they still live, cause they dont help you in take the tower.
TBF to Takemura if he'd pressed his suspicions about Old Sabu's cause of death his chances of leaving the room alive would have very rapidly converged on zero...
@@Kyle-xi8up Not to mention that people who've been choked to death tend to, uh, rather look like it too. It's not a way to die that leaves a very pretty face. But pointing that sort of thing out when the obvious suspect's heavy combat 'borg attack dog is standing behind you would be rather self-evidently unwise.
@@Kyle-xi8up It was explained in the game that literally everyone high ranking at Arasaka knew he was murdered but played along, because they wanted Saburo out of the way.
"Help! My father AND his bodyguard have been poisoned!" "Your father has strangle marks on his neck and your bodyguard is full of bullet holes." ... "Help! My father, his bodyguard AND this employee have been poisoned!"
My sword did literally 0 dmg to him in the ‘very hard’ secret ending. Dunno why. Had to resort to running around and frantically shooting him to avoid getting 1-shot.
what would you expect from youtubers on Cyberpunk - just following what CDPR did - hyping the impossible... (well, of course, unless u own a PC that can handle this technology-melting bug) And if you dont own PC by now - thats your problem CDPR says as well as this youtuber.
I think Adam definitely did detect you. Takamura almost did but got distracted. If you follow what the game says, Adam is using military implants, and is basically 2% human. With V's low level implants, you can tell how dangerous someone actually is. Im sure Adam detected you but him being red isnt a glitch. That far along in the game, you arent supposed to be that high of a level, with those abilities. So i think thats why Adam just stood staring at you, its to demonstrate he does see you. I actually never noticed him staring until this video. Him staring could mean he was trying to determine your threat level. He probably would of reacted if Jackie did something extra because Jackie is a Valentino, so he's kinda tough, nothing close to Adam tho. With the type of weapons Adam has, he wouldnt be able to attack you without literally blowing up the room with yorinobu in it. So my assumption is he watched you because he chose not to try and do anything and being that deep in Arasaka Tower, means you'd probably get killed anyway. Especially with Takamura there, Takamura alone could of actually killed V and Jackie. He has to have very high level implants since he mentioned being faster than Oda.(Youll find out who that is later on) This puts the whole story into a different perspective i think
He mentioned that he use to be faster then oda and that he hopes hes still faster stop twisting shiit just fit this bullshiiit he did not see us hiding he would've attacked he doesnt have to fcking blow up the room
I thought why Adam didn’t say anything when he saw you. I think it bcs he knew about the whole scenario of killing Saburo and V with Jackie weren’t any threat. If Smasher said anything, Saburo would be evacuated and the whole plan was going to fail. So he took the risk and he was just staring at you. He just wanted to be sure you didn’t try anything. That kinda makes sense to me.
Yeah, you are just two thieves who have stolen some important piece of technology, and witnessed his boss committing murder on his father. Sounds perfectly fine to let you get away without noticing anybody. Although he'll still suddenly decide to stop you when you try to get away in a taxi cab, because logic. Or the whole thing of him activating the threat detector is just one of the many overlooked things there are in the game. Occam's razor, guys.
Or it is simply that the whole event is scripted, but CDPR didn't remember to deactivate the interaction between your eye mods and the AI of Smasher's toon. You know, like they fucked up a lot of other little details because they had to rush out the game. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point this got fixed, meaning, Smasher simply not lighting up with the mod any more.
@@stevend4544 If you know your boss is preparing to kill his father, and you discover two thieves hidden in the room... They're unknow quantities, you don't know how they will react, what they are after -after all they could have been there to kill your boss as far as you know. Would you really leave the room, letting two intruders with unknow agenda near your boss ? And even if you did something that stupid, why not get them immediatly after the murder ? Why would you let them flee, when they are right there in the room, ready to be captured and blamed for the murder ? Why take the risk of them escaping, and reveal how the murder actually happened ? It simply doesn't make sense.
That's Why He's eager to find V and in the end He decide to keep V alive because he knew V is a witness Also everyone on board members Knew yorinobou was the one who killed his own father but don't have enough evidence so they just Ride along with lies until V showed up.
My take was that he was about to discover V and is stopped from doing so. I don't think he is saving V there because it seems like he did think V might have killed the emperor until you are both attacked, making him question his assumption. But it is possible he is only attacked because he suspected and was digging and does try and save V.
Uh, if you glitch through the garage gate to kill Smasher and then get the access token to his stash ... you can just glitch through that door on his ship, no? But sure, it's kinda interesting to see what happens when you run into Smasher outside the scripted interaction.
If you glitch through the door to his stash you can get in and get everything except for the arasaka case with the crafting spec. You need to have his access code to get that. Thatssss what he was looking to try, you can actually enter his stash at any point in the game I’m pretty sure as long as you have the double jump
It's almost like the whole "job" was a setup for you to be there, and framed for Saburo's death.. and you getting away with the relic was a pure accident.
I don't think Adam detecting you is a bug. At the tabletop game, he was always the kind of edgerunner that didn't gave a shit. He have no respect towards Saburo nor Yorinobu, so if they die, he would not give a dam. There is always someone willing to pay top eddies for a legendary solo like him. Also, he is probably tired of this spoiled kid anyway, and, as V, os not a concern for him. Pretty cool detail.
Nah, it makes perfect sense as a bug. They just re-used his model proper and cut out the fighting part of the model but not the seeing part because without the fighting part it doesn’t really matter. Much faster than hard animating him because all he does is walk and then stand.
This is an interesting find. My theory on why Adam Smasher didn't say anything about him knowing that V is inside the the column is because he knows about the plan where Yorinobu will kill his father. So alerting the security at that time would mean Yorinobu will not get the chance to kill his father and his plan will fail. The reason why he didn't say anything the second time around when Yorinobu did kill his father is because Yorinobu's story about his father being poisoned will look sus since the killers are hiding their in the column and might even get to extract the truth. So he let it play out till the opportunity came to kill them off without raising any suspicions. This will be my take on it.
This prologue version of Smasher likely doesn't expect the player to have a threat detector mod and the developers just left the switch as always on, for when they throw his model into the Delamain escape sequence. I would not be surprised if in other areas of the game, Smasher is coded slightly differently.
I actually met him because I didn't hide when T-Bug tells you to. He came out of the elevator and I used short circuit on him and he died. Then the game killed me, despite me having been around ten feet away from Smasher. I'd spent around 12 hours on that save and maxed out intelligence. It would have been interesting if you were able to off him then and there.
can confirm the female V has no pants (or panties) on at 9:47. its fast but if u pause it first then frame by frame you can see the bushes under the trees. lol does this with the male V to fyi lol.
I like how the answer to all these 'what happens if you-' videos when it comes to games, is always 'nothing, the game isn't coded for it to happen'. The fact a video is even made about it suggests to people that something will happen, like you'll get a unique dialogue or something. But nope, literally nothing happens.
dude thats funny as all hell! I was about do this exact thing all on my own but google suggested your video (Always Watching/Listening) also long time fan; first time posting.
It makes sense if Yorinobu planned to kill his dad all along. In that case it is all part of the plan - Smasher notices you but dose nothing, because Yorinobu needs someone to take the blame for his fathers death.
There's no way smasher didn't detect you two behind the wall. He must have a reason to not do or say anything. Maybe the plan was to frame V all along?
Doubt it, if Jackie and V were to be the fallguys for Saburo Arasaka's murder why say he was poisoned? That indicates an unknown party, when you have the scapegoats already trapped. I put it down to two things spur of the moment on Yorinobu's part and just lazy writing on the Dev's part. LOL Don't get me wrong I still enjoyed the game, but the prologue part of the storyline could have used some work.
My theory is that Smasher thinks we are some part of Yorinobu's plan in dealing with Saburo. He probably got used to his employers never revealing whole truth about their plans and just stopped questioning. Besides, who would seriously believe that two low-life mercs would break in one of the most guarded penthouses in the city and hide behind that wall like some Scooby-Doo characters?
@@ГлебКаменский-я7й look into the lore, smasher and yorinobou did know you were there. His father showing up fucked up his plan. He wanted V and Jackie to steal the chip
I just played that mission. They say "it's Adam Smasher" while they are in reverse. On your clip after you destroyed him. He still crashes the car but they didn't acknowledge Adam at all.
Hey Khraze, you can also noclip into the CCTV rooms at konpeki and kill Mayor rhyne and Mayor Holt. You can do this anytime after the heist even if Rhyne has already died, their npcs will still be in that room and you can kill them without repercussions, they don't fight back and don't class as civilians so no notoriety. Kill the others though and you'll be wanted
Just proves what a true sadist smasher is. Loves to hunt and kill his prey. In the lore he chose missions with civilians around so he can create casualties
I've heard that the Threat Detector is really just highlighting Adam Smasher because there is a game script that causes all bosses to be instantly aware of the player's presence and they never fixed it so that in the rare instance when the player is hiding from the boss, that boss wouldn't be highlighted by the Treat Detector. Perhaps they decided to leave it in the game BECAUSE of all the unverified theories that it has caused, thereby enhancing the mystery aspect of the game.
Side note: I think the short circuit passive also works when hitting pedestrians with your car, because when I use it they always burst into balls of electricity and writhe around on the sidewalk.
I always think that Yorinobu planned out the murder of his old man. To get away with this, he hired Deshawn to set up a scapegoat to take full responsibility of Saburo's death (V and Jackie). The chip is just a decoy to make to job looks convincing. As you can see, Adam Smasher spotted where V was hiding, but he knew about the plan, and he supposed to act like he didn't know. Another detail is that right after Yorinobu killed Saburo, he wasn't shock at all. Instead, he immediately locked down the place, expecting that V and Jackie are caught sneaking around restricted area.
I definitely think he sees you, but he sees the relic. He sees you have Jonny and he knows that letting you go is his best chance to get to fight him again.
@@victorr.cortes514 Do you know how he is level 50? Did he just cheat his way to that level? I beat everything and still at level 49. The only time I get to 50 is during the last mission which obviously gets reverting back to 49 when I go back.
IMO I think the devs made Adam dectect the player just to make shure he would focus on the player, as a way to create a tense enviroment. Spares the developers having to manually animate his stance for the situation.

And you could tell Adam was ready to kill him on yurinobus word cause he waited for takemura to leave first so he could follow behind. Dude is glorified serial killer waiting for his next piece of fuckable meat
That last line...I see what you did there
Its a bug...
If he knew, he would smash the shit out of that glass pane, with you included, the second code red was initiated to get his fame/prize for catching the "assasins of Saburo".
@@daaouss hay man, you think what you want. I choose to believe that he knew. Makes the story and events even better.
The way I see it, he saw us. His priority was the son. He stared us down, ready to act if we made a move. He then radioed in assassin's in the penthouse. And waited downstairs for us once he got his priority to saftey.
This guy likes to play with his food. Makes perfect sense and is totally plausible.
@@Mitsurugi2424 wow one little look makes the whole game better. this game is trash full of lies
To be fair Adam “detecting” you is just as likely to be a mistake in the engine as it is to be a design choice
Just as? Probably MORE likely to be a mistake.
I haven't played through all the game yet (still pretty early in act 2). But I figure the bot is there because there are different kinds of NPCs Killable and non-klllable. Again, I haven't played much beyond the prologue, and I'm not even gonna finish this video because I sense spoilers, but I figure that you're probably gonna be able to fight Smasher at some point. As such, he needs to have certain interactions with your abilities whereas someone like Saburo should have none. Outside of the narative of the scene and only in the technical game sense, everyone in that room probably "notices" you, but everyone already has their behavior preprogrammed, so the Smasher model won't act on being aware of your model, and you won't know the other models are aware of you because they don't interact with your abilities.
I don't know much about game developing so take my guess with a grain of salt, but I do still suspect that I'm right.
That said, Smasher detecting you without the urge to do anything and you only being able to know about it if you happened upon certain cyberware, would be quite a fun little easter egg, if that's even the right word for it.
@@oOPPHOo i mean hes also looking directly at you, and his chest seems to be doing some sort of scan so the odds are its likely he did know you were there.
@@oOPPHOo I have not finished the game either but you interact with Takamura in the Game later... I‘ll try if you can attack him and get him into a combat-stance. If that is possible, the detection is a developer-decision. (I think those are civilian models without combat-AI though)
He lights up like that even if you don't have the detection chip. It's just the game telling you he's a threat.
I think the reason Goro or Yorinobu is not highlighted is simple: they’re not tagged as enemies in a game engine (spoiler: Goro will be on your side), while Adam is always an enemy. The detection system probably works fine, just Adam programmed to do nothing but play role in a cutscene. If you stop cutscene somehow, I’m sure he’ll be attacking you while others just stay around.
The threat detector is probably red because Adam Smasher is hard coded to always know the player's location for the purposes of the boss fight.
But in the smasher fight im pretty sure you can stealth it
It's cause he knows you're there. You are the scapegoat for Saburo's murder, it's pretty obvious since he stares at you the whole time and only attacks you once you "surprisingly" make it out of Konpeki alive
It's almost like the whole "job" was a setup for you to be there, and framed for Saburo's death.. and you getting away with the relic was a pure accident.
Smasher is probably coded that way to always see you, since he's later used for a boss battle where he's always able to detect you and know where you are, they've already had that written in in this cutscene.
If you use optical camo he actually loses you
You can actually lose him pretty easy, also enemies can’t normally see you through smart glass.
@@decrestocrouton1226 yes but as he is used for a boss fight he is likely able to see through all objects to find you.
@@beaawsome2211 Not exactly. You can easily find some video about how to defeat Smasher in stealth on UA-cam. But then again, I believe it is only a bug that CDPR ignored in the Heist mission.
Or he knew that Yorinobu was planning to assassinate his dad and figured V and Jackie could be used as scape goats if he let them be.
My boy just casually playing the game with his character pants less
I was like "we just gonna just drift by that one eh? OK then lol."
He has pants equipped, just the clothes don't immediately load in the inventory screen, sometimes the lag abit
@@nicknight0640 I had it happen to me a couple times when I change my clothes
😂😂😂
Wait… you’re supposed to wear pants??
I just did the scene again and only focused on Smasher with zoom even the whole time...Smasher is standing ALWAYS facing you the ENTIRE TIME, never taking his eyes off you.
Even when he leaves he looks over his shoulder at you.
He never faces his employer, Saburo or Takashi. He only ever... looks... at... YOU. ...implant says so too.
It would be an absurd coincidence if the implant saying he has detected you is a bug AND the devs just happening to have his body and head be facing you and only you in two instances.
It's not really a *bug* per se, more of an oversight. Since it's just that they used the same stuff from his boss fight at the end. There it *makes sense* for him to always know where you are and always be facing you, so that's what he's programmed to do.
CAN still work canonically though, which may well be why it's stayed around. Kinda like a nice easter egg thing
@@chrisc1140 we’re assuming either way.. devs weirdly paid attention to detail in some places and then ignored it in others, so really we have no idea if this particular thing was intentional
Thats not an oversight tho CDPR has done it on purpose 1000%, such thing is easily avoidable in RPG games by making 2-3 different NPC's so 1 would be Adam Smasher the boss fight which is the main one, the other would be Adam Smasher just for the scene that behaves differently and is not a Boss and does not keep an eye at V at all times it takes seconds for them to make a new "Actor" and do this, CDPR are not a bunch of idiots if they can make such a game, they would have know about this trick that Bethesda and other RPG Games pull off all the time@@superjuliracing
They did it to intimidate you.
It'd be the biggest Easter egg that Adam knew you were there all along and was colluding to kill the old man. It'd make so much sense - let you get "caught" by the MedTac team, and then have the excuse to kill you and Jackie as the scapegoat.

For those curious, it's because all bosses in the game have a script attached to their AI that automatically detects you so all of them have that red overlay. That said it's likely Adam can 100% see us anyways, it's just that the red overlay in gameplay is because of the script, even bosses that aren't aware of you show up as red.
In the story however Smasher likely doesn't do anything about us because he hasn't been told to do anything about us yet, he only attacks Del because Yorinobu probably told him to stop us. He gets shit done and if he hasn't been paid to do something boring (like killing 2 bit-part runners) he won't do it, likewise if he wants to do something you really need to keep him on a leash somehow, whether it be cash or new tech he wants.
Adam Smasher is sadistic cyberpsycho since like early 2000, there's no way he won't take the chance to kill two intruders right where they stay, it's not about money
Its intentional in game because he looks at you not the other NPC's the entire time.
The fact that they kept this 'bug' in from launch until 2.1 makes me think it isn't a bug at all and completely intentional.

Theory: Smasher wants you to get away with Silverhand so he can kill him properly
Why would he care about Johny at all? During the Arasaka raid, he didn't even knew his name, he didn't recognize him.
@@Vitalis94 Why would he care about Johnny at all?
And I quote, from the AHQ Bombing mission: "Told ya Johnny boy. Told you I'd end you someday."
Implication of a big rivalry there. Then Smasher doesn't actually end up killing Johnny after all, and being Yorinobu's personal bodyguard it's not far-fetched to assume he knows about the chip. Being that chromed, it's also not far-fetched to assume he could scan your character.
Smasher would know that as long as Arasaka owned the chip, Johnny would be out of his reach.
And uh, he didn't recognize Johnny during the final mission because he's in a different body, with a different voice.
@@SWnerdGUY No, no. I ment that in the actual canon, you know, in Cyberpunk 2020, he doesn't even know who Johnny is.
It is also implied in the game that what we see in the flashbacks are just blatant lies, Johnny sees himself as the one who came up with the whole plan for the raid, while in reality it was Morgan Blackhand who was hired by Millitech to attack the HQ. Rogue even says during some mission that V shouldn't belive any word of what Johnny says.
There is also another implication.... I belive by Hellman? Basically, Silverhand we see in the game is just an 80% complete engram of his real self. Like, those 20% are just the stuff the software thinks Johnny would say or think.
He was at the Arasaka HQ that night, but the reason he is so badass during the whole mission is that's how he remembers that event. Or the software thinks he would recall it that way. He is making himself out to be a bigger deal than he actually was.
In Cyberpunk lore, Silverhand was just that one egoistic rockerboy, no one really special. On the other hand, he wasn't as big of an asshole as he is in the game, he truly cared for his friends there.
No, he seems geniunely surprised if you let him know about Johnny after the boss fight. In all likelihood, Smasher, a grade-A sadistic psychopath, just decided to let V and Jackie stew in there for his own amusement before hunting them down.
That wouldn't make any sense since he would be able to know that V would be shot in the head.
Given how loaded Adam's current cyborg suit is... (the IEC Dragoon) I think with all the sensory tech that comes on that thing stock, Adam most definitely knows you're there. Oversight or not, the Dragoon full-body suit is like a one-man army.
Totally agree but to do an um actually, he isn't using a full dragoon suit. He combined parts from different conversion sets

9:47 why no pants?
@andraskacsak4814 i thougt he is wearing some shi, but then i looked twice and relaised, ah hell naw
I think Adam definitely did detect you. Takamura almost did but got distracted. If you follow what the game says, Adam is using military implants, and is basically 2% human. With V's low level implants, you can tell how dangerous someone actually is. Im sure Adam detected you but him being red isnt a glitch. That far along in the game, you arent supposed to be that high of a level, with those abilities. So i think thats why Adam just stood staring at you, its to demonstrate he does see you. I actually never noticed him staring until this video. Him staring could mean he was trying to determine your threat level. He probably would of reacted if Jackie did something extra because Jackie is a Valentino, so he's kinda tough, nothing close to Adam tho. With the type of weapons Adam has, he wouldnt be able to attack you without literally blowing up the room with yorinobu in it. So my assumption is he watched you because he chose not to try and do anything and being that deep in Arasaka Tower, means you'd probably get killed anyway. Especially with Takamura there, Takamura alone could of actually killed V and Jackie. He has to have very high level implants since he mentioned being faster than Oda.(Youll find out who that is later on) This puts the whole story into a different perspective i think
He mentioned that he use to be faster then oda and that he hopes hes still faster stop twisting shiit just fit this bullshiiit he did not see us hiding he would've attacked he doesnt have to fcking blow up the room
If you have to use clipping to even get this, do you really even need to get the access card? Can’t you just clip through the boat door?

You can also just use a console command to spawn it, no need to over complicate it.
U can just hack the door, but briefcase with blueprint opens ONLY with card
adam just made tons of enemies after edgerunners
That mf got me really sad man😔
Adam doesn't say anything as he sees V and Jackie as the perfect excuse to cover up the assassination of Saburo by Yorinobu
I thought why Adam didn’t say anything when he saw you. I think it bcs he knew about the whole scenario of killing Saburo and V with Jackie weren’t any threat. If Smasher said anything, Saburo would be evacuated and the whole plan was going to fail. So he took the risk and he was just staring at you. He just wanted to be sure you didn’t try anything. That kinda makes sense to me.
Yeah, you are just two thieves who have stolen some important piece of technology, and witnessed his boss committing murder on his father. Sounds perfectly fine to let you get away without noticing anybody. Although he'll still suddenly decide to stop you when you try to get away in a taxi cab, because logic.
Or the whole thing of him activating the threat detector is just one of the many overlooked things there are in the game. Occam's razor, guys.
@@theslay66 what if he knew he could blame you for the murder and trying to stop you after was for show would be a good cover for his boss
Or it is simply that the whole event is scripted, but CDPR didn't remember to deactivate the interaction between your eye mods and the AI of Smasher's toon. You know, like they fucked up a lot of other little details because they had to rush out the game. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point this got fixed, meaning, Smasher simply not lighting up with the mod any more.
@@stevend4544 If you know your boss is preparing to kill his father, and you discover two thieves hidden in the room...

Would you really leave the room, letting two intruders with unknow agenda near your boss ?
And even if you did something that stupid, why not get them immediatly after the murder ? Why would you let them flee, when they are right there in the room, ready to be captured and blamed for the murder ? Why take the risk of them escaping, and reveal how the murder actually happened ?

@@mikicerise6250 He doesn't do anything because he knows the son did it and he's powerless.
no, he didn't know V was there.
before the scan was complete he was interrupted by Saburo Arasaka.
My take was that he was about to discover V and is stopped from doing so. I don't think he is saving V there because it seems like he did think V might have killed the emperor until you are both attacked, making him question his assumption.
But it is possible he is only attacked because he suspected and was digging and does try and save V.

I don't think Adam detecting you is a bug. At the tabletop game, he was always the kind of edgerunner that didn't gave a shit. He have no respect towards Saburo nor Yorinobu, so if they die, he would not give a dam. There is always someone willing to pay top eddies for a legendary solo like him. Also, he is probably tired of this spoiled kid anyway, and, as V, os not a concern for him. Pretty cool detail.
Nah, it makes perfect sense as a bug. They just re-used his model proper and cut out the fighting part of the model but not the seeing part because without the fighting part it doesn’t really matter. Much faster than hard animating him because all he does is walk and then stand.
Scripted issue.
This is an interesting find. My theory on why Adam Smasher didn't say anything about him knowing that V is inside the the column is because he knows about the plan where Yorinobu will kill his father. So alerting the security at that time would mean Yorinobu will not get the chance to kill his father and his plan will fail. The reason why he didn't say anything the second time around when Yorinobu did kill his father is because Yorinobu's story about his father being poisoned will look sus since the killers are hiding their in the column and might even get to extract the truth. So he let it play out till the opportunity came to kill them off without raising any suspicions. This will be my take on it.
+, thought the same
This prologue version of Smasher likely doesn't expect the player to have a threat detector mod and the developers just left the switch as always on, for when they throw his model into the Delamain escape sequence. I would not be surprised if in other areas of the game, Smasher is coded slightly differently.
I actually met him because I didn't hide when T-Bug tells you to. He came out of the elevator and I used short circuit on him and he died.
Then the game killed me, despite me having been around ten feet away from Smasher. I'd spent around 12 hours on that save and maxed out intelligence.
It would have been interesting if you were able to off him then and there.

It makes sense if Yorinobu planned to kill his dad all along. In that case it is all part of the plan - Smasher notices you but dose nothing, because Yorinobu needs someone to take the blame for his fathers death.
There's no way smasher didn't detect you two behind the wall. He must have a reason to not do or say anything. Maybe the plan was to frame V all along?
Doubt it, if Jackie and V were to be the fallguys for Saburo Arasaka's murder why say he was poisoned? That indicates an unknown party, when you have the scapegoats already trapped. I put it down to two things spur of the moment on Yorinobu's part and just lazy writing on the Dev's part. LOL
Don't get me wrong I still enjoyed the game, but the prologue part of the storyline could have used some work.
My theory is that Smasher thinks we are some part of Yorinobu's plan in dealing with Saburo. He probably got used to his employers never revealing whole truth about their plans and just stopped questioning. Besides, who would seriously believe that two low-life mercs would break in one of the most guarded penthouses in the city and hide behind that wall like some Scooby-Doo characters?

1:34 That's abit terrifying I must say
[Fear Intensifies]
Just proves what a true sadist smasher is. Loves to hunt and kill his prey. In the lore he chose missions with civilians around so he can create casualties
good thing i got recommended this after watching egderunners what a coincidence
I killed him as Johnny Silverhand, and then, the air knocked me down
I've heard that the Threat Detector is really just highlighting Adam Smasher because there is a game script that causes all bosses to be instantly aware of the player's presence and they never fixed it so that in the rare instance when the player is hiding from the boss, that boss wouldn't be highlighted by the Treat Detector. Perhaps they decided to leave it in the game BECAUSE of all the unverified theories that it has caused, thereby enhancing the mystery aspect of the game.
What a day to post this content lol
Side note: I think the short circuit passive also works when hitting pedestrians with your car, because when I use it they always burst into balls of electricity and writhe around on the sidewalk.
Who's here after the series
You could of just clipped to the room. Didnt need to even kill him if you could do that. 😂
I would be really interested to see what happens when you kill him at the start, then get in the car and if he appears at the endgame fight.
Looking at him getting destroyed after watching Edgerunners 👀
I always think that Yorinobu planned out the murder of his old man. To get away with this, he hired Deshawn to set up a scapegoat to take full responsibility of Saburo's death (V and Jackie). The chip is just a decoy to make to job looks convincing.
As you can see, Adam Smasher spotted where V was hiding, but he knew about the plan, and he supposed to act like he didn't know.
Another detail is that right after Yorinobu killed Saburo, he wasn't shock at all. Instead, he immediately locked down the place, expecting that V and Jackie are caught sneaking around restricted area.
Post Edgerunner runs be like
Adam smasher is so badass, I really wish we got to see him more
I like 2022 Smasher. Reminds me Solidus Snake from MGS2
So, how are you feeling right now after watching the edgerunners anime
Thanks UA-cam algorithm for reminding me, finished watching edgerunners yesterday.
It would be interesting to see if Adam Smasher turns up again after you kill him like this at the start
I definitely think he sees you, but he sees the relic. He sees you have Jonny and he knows that letting you go is his best chance to get to fight him again.
Lmaoo bullshiiiit if adam smasher saw us he wouldve attacked i mean is cool for you think whatever you want to make it seem cooler
@@AvatarRoku-w8o if v a gutter rat wanna be solo can see through walls so can smasher
At the beginning there was always that feeling that he KNEW you were in that TV, since he was basically eyeing you down the whole time
After watching netrunner......I wish David and his team can see this!!!
all david wanted to do was go to the moon with lucy .
i hate it here
Is there a way to clip on console? And did you try going to the final mission to see if the boss fight was affected at all?
That breaks my heart he's so easy to defeat even tho he looks so stunning
He's not that easy when you actually face him the way the game intended.
@@tincangamer2188 can you explain?
At level 50?
It would be nice to see if it's just as easy in the initial levels
@@justanoldsnufkin9747 There's a point towards the end of the game when you're supposed to fight him. It's a pretty tough boss fight.
@@victorr.cortes514 Do you know how he is level 50? Did he just cheat his way to that level? I beat everything and still at level 49. The only time I get to 50 is during the last mission which obviously gets reverting back to 49 when I go back.
Yeah, you're assuming Smasher "detecting you" is not a bug... in a game riddled with bugs. ^^
*Riddled with bugs on ps4 n xbox one. but yeah i agree
@@user-rq4kc5ct1t its still riddled with bugs on the pc.
@@Kickstandsup83 its really not
@@toasterowens8916 i have over 200 hours into it. Yes it is.
@@Kickstandsup83 get better parts loser
I'm assuming if you kill Atom Smasher in the beginning that he still shows up for the fight near the end?
well this really underminds the end of edgerunners...
Who's here after watching the cyber punk anime
Edgerunners fans when they see this video rn are going to abuse that clipping and start killing Adam Shamsher sooo much
ME here just wanting to revenge Rebecca as fast as possible
IMO I think the devs made Adam dectect the player just to make shure he would focus on the player, as a way to create a tense enviroment. Spares the developers having to manually animate his stance for the situation.
The reason he sees you is because the model used there is a boss model and they are programmed to always know your location
