Behaviour and reaction tweaks for a more immersive gameplay

👤 General Crowd Tweaks

Naked Checks

• []Most NPCs react when they see a nude V, with some exceptions (e.g., homeless or poor NPCs)

  []Reactions include comments and walking away

  []NCPD and gang NPCs trigger "early detect" mode, keeping a keen eye on naked V but not triggering escalation unless provoked

  []Cyberware level affects NPC reactions to nudity (e.g., a fully borged naked V causes increased crowd alarm)

  Armed Presence

  • []Carrying heavy weapons (sniper, rifle, shotgun) in corpo locations like Corpo Plaza, City Center, etc triggers early detection from NCPD and armed NPCs (does not escalate to combat until provoked)

    []Even generally being armed with any weapon increases detection rate slightly against all armed NPCs

    []Scanning armed NPCs within their field of vision slightly increases detection rate

    []Military-affiliated clothing slightly increases overall detection rate

    Vehicle Reactions

    • []NPCs actively dodge player's vehicle when honked on while driving on the pavement (you need to be driving completely on the pavement)

      []Drunk driving earns early detection from NCPD (doesn't trigger combat unless provoked)

      []Vehicles NPCs no longer start panic driving on small bumps. They can still panic drive on vehicle bump but only for high velocity hits.

      []Weaponized vehicles slightly increase detection rate from all armed NPCs

      []Vehicle NPCs comment and occasionally honk back when honked at

      []Vehicles with Crystal Dome decrease detection rate

      Other NPC Reaction Tweaks

      • []NPCs run away in fear when you have 4 or more wanted stars

        []Repeatedly bumping into walking NCPD officers or Barghest soldiers can provoke combat

        []Rich and corpo NPCs look at you with disgust if you're sporting poor or cheap clothing (facial reaction only)

        Clothing Affiliation

        []NPCs react dynamically based on your outfit's gang or corpo affiliation

        []Wear gang-affiliated clothes to reduce detection by allies and increase it for rivals. Modded clothes can also be supported - learn more here.

        []NCPD-affiliated attire increases detection rates from all gangs
