Civilians Stealth Kills

Ket_CivilStealthKill is a Cyberpunk 2077 mod that fundamentally alters the interaction mechanics with civilian NPCs throughout Night City. Created by "Ket," this mod enables players to perform stealth takedowns, quickhacking, body carrying, and looting on non-hostile civilian NPCs—features normally restricted to enemy combatants in the base game.

Core Features & Mechanics

1. Stealth & Combat Interactions

• []Stealth Grapple: Approach civilian NPCs from behind to initiate a grab/hold interaction

  []Lethal Takedowns: Execute silent kills on incapacitated civilians

  []Non-Lethal Takedowns: Knock out civilians without killing them

  []Aerial Takedowns: Perform jump takedowns from above on civilian targets

  []Carry Bodies: Pick up and move civilian corpses to conceal evidence

  2. Quickhacking & Cyberware Integration

  • []Full Quickhack Support: All standard quickhacks (Contagion, Overheat, Suicide, System Collapse, etc.) work on civilians

    []Vendor Quickhacking: Cyberware-based attacks can be used on shopkeepers and vendors

    []Lore-Accurate Restrictions: Monks cannot be quickhacked (no cyberware per lore)

    3. UI & HUD Integration

    • []Scanner Detection: Civilians appear on the player's scanner and can be targeted

      []Neutral Outlines: Civilian NPCs display neutral (white) outlines instead of hostile (red) indicators

      []Interaction Layers: Enables grapple, takedown, loot, and talk interaction layers

      4. Lore-Conscious Restrictions

      • []Monks: Cannot be quickhacked due to their canonical lack of cyberware implants

        []Children: Limited to non-lethal takedowns only, respecting content boundaries

        []Vendors: Fully hackable and scannable for consistent gameplay
