Cyberpunk 2077 - Killing Smasher With David's Build

Edgerunners was so damn good.
Also had to finish it off with Rebecca's shotty lol.

[@no.notfromRDR]

Now we'll have to wait a few months until for them to remake this boss fight to be both more challenging and faithful to the anime

[@enoelgutierrez5813]

I want to fight David in the exoskeleton

[@zerolikesmoms8631]

Probably won’t

[@SaltyDerps]

im pretty sure someone will make a mod about that

[@ttj7811]

Its just, in anime hes more overpowered...

[@iandestroyerofworlds576]

It was hard on the hardest difficulty and he bugged out and kept shooting missiles.

[@pizza11536]

they should make it so sandevistan doesnt affect smasher, it would at least give the feeling that any power you have he also has.

[@viniciusschadeck4992]

tecnically smasher has a sandevistan on his own... this is a equipment that has variants soo, maybe he could use less often, than david builds but the leak of one is shit badly, cause in cyberpunk universe he should have one

[@Riddletold]

@@viniciusschadeck4992 thats a rudimentar mod

[@getschwifty5537]

That'd be such a bold (and aggravating) decision for a final boss of any game that features an OP time slow ability. Just take away the ability the player had been using as a crutch through every hard encounter up until then because the boss is truly on your level, they can do the same shit so it just cancels out. Like no mf, you are playing this fight at normal speed the whole time. You're not slick.

[@brendenhawley2225]

I kind of dislike powers not working on boss fights, it often creates balance issues, where a power useless because it generally does not work on the hardest fights in the game. However making smasher stronger and faster so he is terrifying would work.

[@ReconHunter101]

@@getschwifty5537 I think of Daud from Dishonored.

[@jakejohnson718]

how tf does Adam not have his own sandesvistan, since he canonically has it

[@kinglycrimson]

gameplay mechanics edit: I still think he should have gotten one though

[@lofistreet8233]

some cops have it, you can see them jumping around super fast, I think it them slowing time and moving through it. that effect might have looked weird on smasher model. The Anime was made after the game was almost finished and they had playable versions of the game at their studio.

[@CrowManManCrow]

Gameplay wise they should have just made Adam Smasher or other NPC not get effected by the slow time if they have a Sandesvistan

[@kinglycrimson]

@@CrowManManCrow to be fair I think they should've added that in the update since lorewise he didn't have one until edgerunners

[@CM-db5cg]

@@kinglycrimson a ton of enemies have them, as well as other powerful cybernetics. The problem is they used to be super rare and kinda limited to people you're not supposed to fight, and Oda but he doesn't use his well. In updates since launch they seem to have tweaked the spawn rate of borged up enemies, I guess they realised players are better st fighting than they gave credit, which makes night cities rank and file more fun, but the boss fights never got the same treatment. Regardless of 'lore' Smasher should have been given all the bullshit cyberpowers the game has access too, the game has like two moments to set him up as this terrifying villain and this is one of them.

[@fieryspy6414]

I think if you use the sandevistan against smasher, everything should be slow but smasher and V move at the same speed. Like how in Dishonored when you freeze time against Daud everything is frozen except for Daud and Corvo since they both posses those abilities.

[@pedromoura1446]

I loved that fight. It's been a looong time but i still remember it became a lot like chess: "do i use it now to get advantage or save it for defense"? It's the only fight i actually struggled with the whole game...(music box pricks non withstanding).

[@Eramiskel]

With the mass amount of people who want Adam Smasher to be buffed a godly amount since watching edgerunners, I wouldn't be surprised if CDPR makes Smasher a badass in the next update.

[@weasel003gaming7]

Since the start of the game, his deadliness has been downgraded in his bossfight by the fact that you see people constantly one-shotting Phase 1, and some builds one-shot him outright. He needs a buff anyways to make him feel deadlier in general.

[@Amokhunter]

I doubt it, too many crybaby game urinalists will moan about the game being too hard, so it gets nerfed afterwards anyways. We would've needed the old CDPR who made TW3 and didn't give a damn about the bloody urinalists crying that death march is too hard. Now, we have Corpo trash CDPR who is more concerned about political correctness and hiring "the right kind of people" than making good games by hiring talented people. Sad that they went to the sh1tter that fast, after only a mere handful of games.

[@Zachebi]

Are these people playing on very hard?

[@Eramiskel]

@@Zachebi even on very hard difficulty, smasher is easy as fuck

[@kerbodynamicx472]

@@Amokhunter Difficulty settings are a thing. For people who aren't that good at the game, just go on easy mode, and it's OK. There is nothing wrong with defeating the final boss without dozens of attempts and hours of grinding. But the challenge should be there for people craving a challenge and feel like a badass.

[@st.paddymad7085]

Smasher has a Sandevistan as well, a "rudimentary implant", but he probs forgot bout it when fighting V.

[@xAnarchRadiostar]

I know 2077 Adam Smasher is an okay boss at best, but I wouldn't mind seeing a buff in his AI to a fearful amount so he has that dark boss energy. A truly horrifying experience. With the events of Edgerunners being canon, V is truly a powerhouse based on determination. They killed Night City's seemingly impenetrable monster which very few have faced, let alone survive encounters in order to get Johnny Silverhand out of his head.

[@JM-tj5qm]

Honestly, the biggest problem is his health being too low. And getting knocked off all the time. His attack patterns are pretty cool actually, is just that you can beat Smasher so easily that you don't even have time to notice. They should boost his life, and maybe make him jump around with sandevistan like MaxTac does.

[@mysticfire7675]

@@JM-tj5qm They should not boost his life, he has more than enough health. The only reason he seems to die so fast in videos like this is because they are using very broken min-max builds but if you are doing a normal playthrough he can take like 5-10 minutes to kill.

[@Krisoy_]

I don't know why but I felt a sense of happiness in seeing this happen.

[@alexanderm3504]

Whatever Choom like I give a shit.... : ')

[@bhahouighf]

Would've been awesome if Smasher either activated his own Sandevistan whenever you activate yours, making clear off the bat that you're up against someone in your weight class, or had a move in his set where he activates it on his own initiative, forcing you to activate your own in time to fend him off

[@1.618_Murphy]

3:04 *“This one is for David and Rebecca, you sob!”* By the way, according to the lore, Adam Smasher should also have the rudimentary sandavistan, that's why slowing down the time technically shouldn't have any effect on him! They should fix it in the 1.7 patch!

[@TimeToGetAGoodLife]

I have no idea what's going on or why I'm watching this video but I love the reference in that mission title. My favorite song.

[@HolyMoonlitNight]

Listening to edgerunner's ending theme while watching this video made it satisfying. Kinda want to have a mod to play out the song while fighting this boss and have 'Regards from David' as an alternate line.

[@YupItsame]

But V doesn't even know who David is, as far as i know.

[@lazeau]

very satisfying. only thing missing is blaring "I Really Want to Stay at Your House" with the final drop timed to you blowing his head off at the end

[@Cyberbro665]

He needs a significant speed boost, buff to health, CC resistance that gets stronger every time it's used on him, and projectiles that track better. Then the boss fight will be good

[@wildweebear2684]

Anime Smasher: Has a Sandy also and is better in it than David. In-game Smasher: No sandy, and it makes the fight trivial if V uses one. I just wish CDPR would commit more resources to making the content align and get where it should be a bit quicker.

[@danshakulawrence983]

The Cyberskeleton was actually designed to nerf David so Adam could beat him to a pulp.

[@nightk3717]

If only there was an option for “regards from David”

[@wolfyin]

It’d be sick if a rework gives Smasher a copy of your V’s build on top of some of his baseline stuff so he could counter you with your own move

[@lazercat6077]

I find it interesting that people use gorilla arms for the David build I guess its so he can punch but I would do it a bit differently. (spoilers) I would use the projectile launch system first of all since he got maine's and after the timeskip he was perfectly comfortable using guns so you don't lose a primary attack

[@1Seanmb]

If you're doing a proper "David build" you would use the PLS, people just don't use it because even the legendary version is dogshit.

[@eotwkdp]

You ever wonder if Adam smasher has multiple yet custom built bodies.

[@whoiskizuki.]

I hate how in the game Smasher is basically a common goon but he's a Dark Souls Final Boss in the anime, they should ramp up the difficulty a lot in the game because DAMN he was op in the anime.

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

V must have been an unbelievable badass to have taken down Smasher with just a pistol.

[@Breakdown5297]

it would be awesome if you've completed all the sidequests for the anime you have the option to say "David Martinez sends his regards" instead of "Silverhand sends his regards"

[@MarcoBayod_MB]

I believe the anime wasted the opportunity to make David injured him so he isn't able to use his own Sandevistan before... you know

[@kadenvessey4638]

David used the projectile launch system

[@digstrememcdingus1463]

I feel like the canon reason he's weaker than the anime is that his first failure (Lucy surviving his rampage) got to him mentally, like imagine if you were a prodigy at Celeste only to lose your focus on 'that' part of chapter 3's b side

[@Jvmpman0]

It makes me happy that you finished him with Guts

Now that most people playing the game come from the show. They should really rework this fight - heck the va and visual for smasher too. Make the fight multi stage or something. Maybe a phase where he uses his speed boost and you dont see him unless you have your own speed boost.

[@libertinarey]

Some people saying he has to be easy so players can beat him with any build but srsly just add an extra difficulty: TRUE adam smasher mode where you can fight him at his prime rather then the sad nerfed version he currently is.
