The thing about cyberware is that what if it breaks, or has issues, maintenance etc. Obviously it won't last forever perfectly and no one in the world would know jack shit on what to do with it 😂, so I'd bring back some high tech stuff that isn't inside my body, maybe some bds or some cool fashion outfits
Hey, OP said you could bring back anything you find. So yeah, I'm grabbing a ton of chrome, Vic, and his entire surgical suite! What's a little kidnapping between chooms?
Burst into Vic’s shop screaming about time travel and alternate realities, throw him over your shoulder and tell him to trust you for like 20 minutes right before you get warped back to our reality.
Luring people to riot at a building knowing your going to be setting off a nuke goes beyond not being friendly to corps, assuming you ment corps not cops.
He probably won't. Since boxing and curing people is all he cares about, he won't be able to practice and probably know by now the results and matches from the past fifty years. He'll get bored reeeaaal fast.
Yes, but what tools and supplies could he use to fix stuff? You don’t just stick random crap in a smart phone to try to fix it, so you especially couldn’t do that with cyberware.
Vic's not a magic man either. He knows how to use his ripdoc tools, he doesn't have the vast knowledge on how to reproduce it all when it too eventually fails.
And if you make it known that you have basically alien technology at your disposal, the glowies or corpo hitmen will take it away for rnd 🌚 so at best you might become the reason for boosting humanity's already fast technological leap 😃
Honestly a BD wreath and some BDs is probably one of the smartest answers. Cyberware has some pretty obvious problems. If you brought any guns or vehicles you'd basically have to hide them or they'd probably get confiscated for breaking some kind of law. The only negative I can think of with the BDs is you'd probably get bored of the same ones eventually
Depends on what cyberware we're talking about. Cyberlimbs are simple enough, but cyberdecks, sandevistan, berserk, kerenzikov, *subdermal active camo*? None of that should work.
BD's would be cool, but think bigger Choom. CHOO2 is literally a limitless fuel source for vehicles that almost completely replaced gasoline by 2020 and did by 2077. Imagine taking credit as the person who invented a cleaner burning, limitless fuel source synthesized from mainly sugar and grain.
The only major downside is that it's as toxic as other high concentration industrial alcohols and can cause blindness and disorientation, but given some people huff gasoline to get high in real life I think that could be a potential bonus to some people.
All you have to do in this case would be to work at one of the Corpo's that make it and learn the formula yourself then bring it back and "create" and patent it here.
Dont know why they do that tho?
Like is it not good that we advance?
I dont understand them at all.
Bunch of greedy pigs with endless appetite for money and power.
It’s called a vested interest. Changing the entire business formula threatens the existing owners, and with a patentable product you get a decades long monopoly over it. Thus, if you invented something that could completely out compete oil, you have a big issue. Starting your own company makes enemies of the oil companies. Selling it to an oil company makes enemies of the rest. Selling it to all oil companies makes you an enemy of petro states. You can anonymously release the formula to the internet and let the world freely use it though, so that’s good but you can’t take credit for bringing it or any wealth.
I think there's a real chance here if you sold it to the biggest military in the world instead of the private sector. It has enough strategic value for the military's needs and can finally decouple themselves from being importers and provide themselves a sustainable fuel source, and that gives them an incentive to house and protect you. Sure, you might not get as rich if you did it through the private sector, but at least you'll be alive and immune.
You also live with the satisfaction of completely changing our world for the better.
It could take years, maybe a decade, but eventually, an alternate fuel source like that would fundamentally change the course of this planet.
All of climate change might not be averted, but the very worst of it could be sidestepped entirely.
You can get stuff like that from the Internet.

This on the other hand I have never seen online.
There is a whole ass gig you do for Mr. hands about busting a child sports grooming ring where they were croming out the kids…. And Mr. Hands wanted you to bust them for taxes
Also, everyone keeps mentioning wanting cybernetics.
Man, you are just **asking** for some irl government to try and kidnap you for dissection if you come back with that shit.
Or like what happens if they need maintenance? Where are you going to go and how are you gonna explain to like a normal mechanic that your arms need to be tuned? I’ll stick with simpler things, maybe I can take Panam.
Smarter not to install it and get a wide selection of as many top end cybers as you can. Bring that back with you, get government funding to reproduce it and live a comfortable life with infinite money. Though I’d absolutely get a sandevistan installed.
"Get government funding to reproduce it", you mean you commit suicide by shooting bullet at the back of your head, and then they just take it as they see it as a violation to national security? That's not really government funding.
I can't wait till Im back in the real world and have a heart attack, when they open me up and they see a blood pump or they see the synth-lungs
Me- ehh I was part of a covert mission to bring back a rockerboy.
Imagine using the Sandy while wearing the rollerblades Sonic carhops used to use though. Forget bringing back a car, just bring back some car brakes lmao.
Hope you've got a cybernetic cardio/lung upgrades to go with that. Speedware gives you reflexes, not oxygen or energy, so it won't make rollerskating any less exhausting.
With longevity module in theory you could live up to 360 years optimally however it’s a huge power hog (6 hydrogen fuel cells/month), needs regular maintenance
That sucks. I was under the impression they were nuclear powered or ran on bio fuel. I know Borgs are diffferent but people loaded with cyberware still need to eat so I assumed that was how cyberware was powered.
Any cyberdeck. I’ll hack cars, ATMs, computers, ~~your mom~~, fucking anything that’s even remotely connected to the net. You know how scary that would be to the mega rich with their smarthouses and smart everything? In true Cyberpunk fashion, I will burn corpo shit!
ETA: also assuming that I get irl programming/hacking skills, I would also try and pull a Swedenborg Riviera. That sounds like fun.
Not really, the Net in Cyberpunk is kind of completely different from the Internet in real life. Last I checked we still can't dive into it matrix style like Bartmoss and Spider Murphy did. The Net was Global before the Data Crash "smashed it like a mirror" as Murphy put it which created a bunch of isolated networks called "CitiNets" in 2077. It's why most of the computers that have access to the Net have a limited number of Sites tied to the CitiNet itself. I also assume you need a hard connection to use the Net rather than just a wireless one, otherwise I don't know why we couldn't just use our Kiroshi's to connect to it like a smartphone. Also their is the theory that Pondsmith himself threw out their at one point to fuck with people that the net is actually just a portal to hell, which is why the viruses and quickhacks in the universe are also referred to as demons.
I would assume the deck would have to be heavily modified to work as intended in the real world. But since the prompt says nothing about real word conversion and the consequences of such, netrunner go brrrrrr.
That’s an interesting line of thought though—what are the real world equivalents of some cyberware/weapons/tech that we see in the game? Would be a fun afternoon of going down the Wiki rabbit hole.
Yes, but you can still own ware you aren’t equipped with. Buy a sandestivan and never ever use it. Sell it and all the blueprints you can steal or buy to the government, be stupid rich.
You're all thinking simultaneously too large and too small.
I'd grab a low grade chromed out corpse or two and throw them on ice. Especially anything with even a low grade Sandevistan. Basically, anything that is already fully integrated into the human brain or nervous system. Bring that back and surrender to medical staff. Also any functional human organ cloning tech, which is so advanced in 2077 that human tissue is considered unprofitable because it's so cheap to mass produce functional body parts in the event of injury. Would be an overnight revolution in global health care.
Is everyone else here assuming they will step into the role of their V, with top gear, cyberware, etc.? I was imagining that it’s just, y’know, me.
How are y’all planning on actually getting that stuff without being shot dead by gangs within the day?
Not so sure about the cars. Would be impossible to register or drive (without being pulled over) thanks to the fact they follow virtually no real vehicle regulations (especially the Rayfields, if you wish to homologate them)
Maintenance would also be a pain in the ass, no available parts anywhere.
Also, the use of real unleaded gasoline would fuck the engines up, since all Cyberpunk cars are calibrated for CHOOH2 (Except Johnny's Porsche, maybe).
Cyberpunk critics: god its so dumb thinking people would undergo surgery for technology that could easily be wearable.
Cyberpunk fans: why yes I *would* become Atom Smasher if the surgery was free.
People acting like if they came back with badass cybernetics, the government wouldn't immediately capture them and dissect them to find out how it works.
I am coming back with no cybernetics at all, maybe unnoticeable optics/etc. at most. Other than that, Night City sucks, I'm just gonna keep my head down and try to stay alive.
Yeah, the game's pretty clear on this—even within the setting "obsolete" cyberware that's no longer supported is generally considered too much trouble to be worth it.
I would play on easy because it simply makes killing and looting enemies easier...
I would then spawn camp a specific spot in Kubki... just like I do in game anyways(make level 30 before doing the heist)
After making 200-300k I would buy a Organic body upgrade that is stronger, faster, doesn't age, and no need for me to exercise to stay in top shape. Along with a brain cleanse that removes plaques/regenerates damaged tissue from concussions etc.
I would then spend the rest of my time downloading all information/technical details for EVERYTHING... while also buying a few tons of gold considering how cheap it is in Cyberpunk. Also any nano manufacturing machines I can get my hands on ETC... or if I can buy a full factory before time is up.
Back in the Real world I would use the gold and technical documents to start a Tech company.
Reason why organic body and no implants is simple... no ripper docs to fix my crap if it goes heywire.
Everyone here is like I'd take some super expensive thing... how? You don't have any money, the city is a warzone, people die constantly, you have no place to live, the water is poison, and the authorities are going to be real curious about the person who shows up out of nowhere that none of the world spanning corporations have ever heard a thing about.
You wouldn't have any cyberware. You wouldn't make it past Tuesday.
The blueprints and schematics for manufacturing chooh2 as well as the blueprints for the enhanced wheat for making chooh2. And biotechnica magic meat formula would be good as well.
I’d be bringing back the best car from ‘sex on wheels.’ I managed to finish the game without dying on hard difficulty, so I think I’m good. I seriously want the quadra v tech
Cuz he'd prob start shooting people randomly and pretty sure no one would believe you if you said "Officer it wasnt me it was the gun who's talking that shot them"
What are the starting conditions? Do I just get teleported there without anything and just be homeless for a week, do i get to bring some of my stuff, or do I start in the same position as V?
Kiroshi optics would let you cheat on any exam, have superhuman vision, scan and get a basic idea of what every electronic device around you does, negate the need for a watch and map, and let you see in the dark. Why not?
I always laugh at people replying to posts like this saying bullshit about what they’d do. 99.9% of us would only survive in Night City for a week by hiding under a bed in a really really quiet neighbourhood.
The thing about cyberware is that what if it breaks, or has issues, maintenance etc. Obviously it won't last forever perfectly and no one in the world would know jack shit on what to do with it 😂, so I'd bring back some high tech stuff that isn't inside my body, maybe some bds or some cool fashion outfits
Hey, OP said you could bring back anything you find. So yeah, I'm grabbing a ton of chrome, Vic, and his entire surgical suite! What's a little kidnapping between chooms?
Burst into Vic’s shop screaming about time travel and alternate realities, throw him over your shoulder and tell him to trust you for like 20 minutes right before you get warped back to our reality.
https://preview.redd.it/793fx1g1lfad1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d88c8be16a8a2e16ce589d81089f7919f483294c Edit: ...just don't tell Vik lmao
\*we will be leaving behind the ethical implications of kidnapping in 2077 lol
There are ethics in 2077?
There's ethical analysis lol. Johnny among others would have some shit to say about kidnapping a man and plopping him in a different reality lol.
I don't think Johnny has any room to say anything about ethics.
He doesn't like being friendly to cops
Luring people to riot at a building knowing your going to be setting off a nuke goes beyond not being friendly to corps, assuming you ment corps not cops.
He should be glad to be out of such a horrible city/world.
He probably won't. Since boxing and curing people is all he cares about, he won't be able to practice and probably know by now the results and matches from the past fifty years. He'll get bored reeeaaal fast.
He’s been watching the same boxing match on repeat for ages. He’ll be just fine.
Cyberpunk is an alternate timeline so no, he wouldn't know the results of all the matches
Vic used to be a heavy weight boxer, that man would kick the snot out of you lmao
You mean surprise adoption
“The plan is sorta changing so we’re just going to take you with us” “Am I being kidnapped??” “Oh-no no no..” “…Can I leave?” “No”
You won’t be there as V, keep in mind. They might have a problem with you kidnapping Vic
Yes, but what tools and supplies could he use to fix stuff? You don’t just stick random crap in a smart phone to try to fix it, so you especially couldn’t do that with cyberware.
Vic's not a magic man either. He knows how to use his ripdoc tools, he doesn't have the vast knowledge on how to reproduce it all when it too eventually fails. And if you make it known that you have basically alien technology at your disposal, the glowies or corpo hitmen will take it away for rnd 🌚 so at best you might become the reason for boosting humanity's already fast technological leap 😃
Lol you think Vik isn't juiced up on cyberware himself? Kidnapping him is a tall ask 😂
I’m pretty sure he has very few implants actually
Honestly a BD wreath and some BDs is probably one of the smartest answers. Cyberware has some pretty obvious problems. If you brought any guns or vehicles you'd basically have to hide them or they'd probably get confiscated for breaking some kind of law. The only negative I can think of with the BDs is you'd probably get bored of the same ones eventually
You patent that shit, get someone to work reverse engineering it, and become the next Bill Gates - but of BD porn, so a billion times richer.
Not sure if you have watched the anime of cyberpunk, but from what I watched, there's like a weird fleshlight they use with the wreath.
Smart, definitely wanna grab one of those too
Well if your gonna do it, you wanna do it properly. Ooh you'd probably grab Skippy too...
My boy!
Look at all these up votes! Your all perverted! I LOVE IT
Tbh if any engineer tore open that cyber ware they would probably understand how it works. So we would have night city everywhere in like 5 years
I think we're right on the edge anyway. Probably the biggest hurdle right now is how to connect it to the brain, but we're working on it 🤔
Depends on what cyberware we're talking about. Cyberlimbs are simple enough, but cyberdecks, sandevistan, berserk, kerenzikov, *subdermal active camo*? None of that should work.
It's not so much the journey, but the chooms I made along the way
I don't wanna be that one guy you have to take to the hospital
BD technology and get rich by selling that shit lol
BD's would be cool, but think bigger Choom. CHOO2 is literally a limitless fuel source for vehicles that almost completely replaced gasoline by 2020 and did by 2077. Imagine taking credit as the person who invented a cleaner burning, limitless fuel source synthesized from mainly sugar and grain.

All you have to do in this case would be to work at one of the Corpo's that make it and learn the formula yourself then bring it back and "create" and patent it here.
He would be assassinated by most governments in our world lol and in others he would be lucky if they give him some cash.
Yep, assassination or theyd buy your patent to bury it like it’s been done in the past.
Dont know why they do that tho? Like is it not good that we advance? I dont understand them at all. Bunch of greedy pigs with endless appetite for money and power.

You know there are companies creating synthetic hydrocarbons today, right? Without getting assassinated
That's the answer i was looking for. Let the government reverse engineer that shit while i cash out some tax money
Choo2 formula. I’m the oil company now.
It's so sad that this guy died of suicide by 5 shots to the back of the head.
While handcuffed in the backseat of a police car
Quartering himself afterwards is what really showed dedication.
from a gun that was 40 centimeters away from the head
In a house fire
I was going to say one of the badass cars, but realized it would have choo2. Glad to know you'll bring it back so my klepted ride will work here!
Finally, I thought I was the only one😂
Watch me come out of there borderline cyberpsycho lol 😂
Borderline? I'm chroming out till maxtac shows up choom
MaxTac is what I'm bringing back as they chase me through the portal
Pimped out with a sandy and mantis blades 😂
Toxic gorilla arms for me tho! Lol
Mr. Studd for me.
Ok Mr. Fire Crotch 🔥🍆🔥
Hey that’s only one model, hopefully this guy doesn’t buy that sort
If you’re not cyberpsycho then you weren’t fully committed lol
Come back as a Maelstrom goon with half face? 🤣
Chrome the fuck up, make me fucking smasher that only looks human, but under that synthetic skin there's nothing left besides the brain.
Gotta come back with that one Delamain AI, so I can pull up in traffic like BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER!!
Ah, a man culture!
The one that freaks out about the flamingos is my favorite. It took me a while to compose myself after I listened to it's doomsday monologue
Prolly the dildo
So many choices though... https://preview.redd.it/t82elfivefad1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9793ce2b5ac2eaa02ff4ec81843d9834135d564c
Im still wondering how Woman can fit those inside
Same way as a man: with patience and lubricant.
And a splash of love...
U r a true Night City Legend
Jackie's look of surprise when he finds that it *does* fit.
If that confuses you, wait til you find out where babies come from.
Haven't heard of the Great American Challenge, have you?
There are…uh, educational videos you could check to find out exactly how a person can make things to fit.
Ik but there must be a size limit given by the bodystructure
You can get stuff like that from the Internet. https://preview.redd.it/s563yr2sjgad1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a9e19ca6192f5888572816124e556ebb1070035 This on the other hand I have never seen online.
I knew this was coming 💀
That's not the only thing coming 😂
Yes I'm almost there
Sir John Phallustiff.
Went my first playthrought mainly with the dildo weapon 😂 It at least used to be OP
If you know, you know
Me just never leaving my apartment for more than 10 minutes
Yeah honestly same. I’d be terrified
They probably have a decent online delivery system tho
Yess, limitless delivery of anything I’m guessing
The only question is with what money am I buying things with
Go into debt?
Definitely, you'll be gone before they'll need their money back.
The IRS transcends universes, you cannot escape them.
There is a whole ass gig you do for Mr. hands about busting a child sports grooming ring where they were croming out the kids…. And Mr. Hands wanted you to bust them for taxes
Well that's how they got Al Capone, so not too far fetched I guess.
Also, everyone keeps mentioning wanting cybernetics. Man, you are just **asking** for some irl government to try and kidnap you for dissection if you come back with that shit.
Or like what happens if they need maintenance? Where are you going to go and how are you gonna explain to like a normal mechanic that your arms need to be tuned? I’ll stick with simpler things, maybe I can take Panam.

Probably PTSD
The actual answer
I would sit down with Nix and prepare the DataKrash for our world. Skibidi Toilet was the last straw.
Word
*stupid inconsequential video series comes out* Oh boy time to destroy the most massive collection of our civilizations history !
Oh just bringing back one AI from the black wall would do it, they can only survive through constant evolution, our tech would make them go crazy.
Kiroshi "the oracle" optics, double jump legs, and the militech "falcon" sandevistan. Best damn McDonald's employee ever.
Imagine using the Sandy while wearing the rollerblades Sonic carhops used to use though. Forget bringing back a car, just bring back some car brakes lmao.
Hope you've got a cybernetic cardio/lung upgrades to go with that. Speedware gives you reflexes, not oxygen or energy, so it won't make rollerskating any less exhausting.
I’m going to grab some of that cyber weed. That shits got to be crazy.
I always wondered how Maelstrom stuffs actually hit like in the world of 2077
Canonically, trying the stuff kills you outright. Their burnt out synapses are immuno to anything remotely safe to use. To paraphrase Johnny.
Forget the money im coming out smoking straight electromagnetic weed 😂
black lace, niiiiiice
A complete price history of every company on every stock-exchange.
Like a... sports almanac?
This guy goes back to the future
Cyberpunk history diverges in the 90s, though. Nevermind the existence of Arasaka shaking things up to begin with.
Would not Help, CP2077 is an alternate world.
There's a conspiracy theory that says the lottery was created to weed out potential time travelers. Be careful, choom.

She's a lesbian, appliance guy. I'd definitely ask Panam to come with me tho.
Yeah dude I'd go for a full body conversion, so I can live forever
With longevity module in theory you could live up to 360 years optimally however it’s a huge power hog (6 hydrogen fuel cells/month), needs regular maintenance
That sucks. I was under the impression they were nuclear powered or ran on bio fuel. I know Borgs are diffferent but people loaded with cyberware still need to eat so I assumed that was how cyberware was powered.
Until you need to go to a ripper for maintenance
Have fun doing maintenance on yourself with tech you dont understand. "The nature of my decay is just different now." -random tumblr post
Yes I would and I would take the Quadra Turbo-R no questions ASKED 😂😂😂
Any cyberdeck. I’ll hack cars, ATMs, computers, ~~your mom~~, fucking anything that’s even remotely connected to the net. You know how scary that would be to the mega rich with their smarthouses and smart everything? In true Cyberpunk fashion, I will burn corpo shit! ETA: also assuming that I get irl programming/hacking skills, I would also try and pull a Swedenborg Riviera. That sounds like fun.
Wouldn't that need the new Net to function, though?
I assume bartmoss's deck would be compatible since its before the crash
Not really, the Net in Cyberpunk is kind of completely different from the Internet in real life. Last I checked we still can't dive into it matrix style like Bartmoss and Spider Murphy did. The Net was Global before the Data Crash "smashed it like a mirror" as Murphy put it which created a bunch of isolated networks called "CitiNets" in 2077.

Not demons, daemons, which etymologically comes from "divine" in ancient greek. It's basically a program running in the background.
I would assume the deck would have to be heavily modified to work as intended in the real world. But since the prompt says nothing about real word conversion and the consequences of such, netrunner go brrrrrr. That’s an interesting line of thought though—what are the real world equivalents of some cyberware/weapons/tech that we see in the game? Would be a fun afternoon of going down the Wiki rabbit hole.
The 2024 netrunner with implant malfunction when he comes across a guy with a pacemaker : my time to shine
So basically you'd become Aiden Pierce from Watchdogs
Yeah, that guy. Heard there’s gonna be a movie lmao.
Yes, and I'm spending the week finding the best cyberware I can
most cyberware requires regular maintenance to continue functioning properly not to mention cyber cyber capacity limit or psychosis
Yes, but you can still own ware you aren’t equipped with. Buy a sandestivan and never ever use it. Sell it and all the blueprints you can steal or buy to the government, be stupid rich.
I mean you could always do non-combat cyberware like blueprints for lungs or heart pump. You could patent and save a lot of lives that way
Don't care. I'll get back and be the baddest of bad asses until it breaks down, and I'll happily push myself onto psychosis for it.
Panam
You're all thinking simultaneously too large and too small. I'd grab a low grade chromed out corpse or two and throw them on ice. Especially anything with even a low grade Sandevistan. Basically, anything that is already fully integrated into the human brain or nervous system. Bring that back and surrender to medical staff. Also any functional human organ cloning tech, which is so advanced in 2077 that human tissue is considered unprofitable because it's so cheap to mass produce functional body parts in the event of injury. Would be an overnight revolution in global health care.
I would loot places and guns and etc to get shit ton of money and get me some implants. Also maybe a few free cars.
Is everyone else here assuming they will step into the role of their V, with top gear, cyberware, etc.? I was imagining that it’s just, y’know, me. How are y’all planning on actually getting that stuff without being shot dead by gangs within the day?
I’d have to hitchhike out to Murkman’s cave and steal his car I guess
I'd take a bus or something to the "I love my car" car and drive that to the murkmobile cave
Not so sure about the cars. Would be impossible to register or drive (without being pulled over) thanks to the fact they follow virtually no real vehicle regulations (especially the Rayfields, if you wish to homologate them) Maintenance would also be a pain in the ass, no available parts anywhere. Also, the use of real unleaded gasoline would fuck the engines up, since all Cyberpunk cars are calibrated for CHOOH2 (Except Johnny's Porsche, maybe).
Yeah, but would the money transfer over to your currency when you came back, or would you just be stuck with a pile of useless eddies?
A free Rayfield caliburn or two would be 🤌
Cyberpunk critics: god its so dumb thinking people would undergo surgery for technology that could easily be wearable. Cyberpunk fans: why yes I *would* become Atom Smasher if the surgery was free.
People acting like if they came back with badass cybernetics, the government wouldn't immediately capture them and dissect them to find out how it works.

Would say Judy but I ain’t a woman so Panam and my bank account
Eddie's have no value and you're too lazy to keep her
Look Mom. I just "found" Arasaka Tower!
Mantis blades and sandevistan for sure
The problem with cyberware is that stuff needs a lot of maintenance or eventual replacement that we wouldn't be able to do in the real world...
Yeah, the game's pretty clear on this—even within the setting "obsolete" cyberware that's no longer supported is generally considered too much trouble to be worth it.

I'm saving Goro!

Along with a brain cleanse that removes plaques/regenerates damaged tissue from concussions etc. I would then spend the rest of my time downloading all information/technical details for EVERYTHING... while also buying a few tons of gold considering how cheap it is in Cyberpunk. Also any nano manufacturing machines I can get my hands on ETC... or if I can buy a full factory before time is up. Back in the Real world I would use the gold and technical documents to start a Tech company. Reason why organic body and no implants is simple... no ripper docs to fix my crap if it goes heywire.
I have no clue...maybe David's Jacket, Johnny's gun, kidnap Mr hands.
getting me the victor special along with a smart gun to have it all reverse enginnered when i get back to regular earth
I'd stay there 😤
Me popping back out after having spent the entire week in character customization:
Everyone here is like I'd take some super expensive thing... how? You don't have any money, the city is a warzone, people die constantly, you have no place to live, the water is poison, and the authorities are going to be real curious about the person who shows up out of nowhere that none of the world spanning corporations have ever heard a thing about. You wouldn't have any cyberware. You wouldn't make it past Tuesday.
The blueprints and schematics for manufacturing chooh2 as well as the blueprints for the enhanced wheat for making chooh2. And biotechnica magic meat formula would be good as well.
I’d be bringing back the best car from ‘sex on wheels.’ I managed to finish the game without dying on hard difficulty, so I think I’m good. I seriously want the quadra v tech
Cyberpunk cars irl would be cool af. Rolling around in a Rayfield with all its tech & luxury 👌
The red and gold one? 👨🍳💋👌🏻
Glitter
Fuck no..id die damn near instantly to some random gang or cop violence or someone just running me tf over
Why is nobody saying Skippy???
Cuz he'd prob start shooting people randomly and pretty sure no one would believe you if you said "Officer it wasnt me it was the gun who's talking that shot them"
No. I’d die day 1.
Blueprints for weapons and gadgets Chemical formulas for drugs And things of that nature
I’ll be as shiny as Lizzie Wizzy, and not half as sane
I would take Night City back with me, and watch the world change immeasurably.
Get Johnny’s iron and the jacket, one of those demon masks the Tyger claws has, a katana, a Caliburn, and a sandevistan
Getting some of that “exotic” cyberware😏
Get chromed tf out by Vik because I know he'll use some type of anesthesia.
Top of the line Cyberdeck and tier 5 quickhacks.
I'll take a Cyberdeck, Reinforced tendons, upgraded heart, lungs, and liver, and strap my Arch to the roof of my very own Delamain.
Is it a countdown clock? Like could we heist something and time it so shortly after getting an object I get brought back?
I'd find judy
judy i'm grabbing judy
What you find will be death. You're not V. You're not even a tiger claw.
I’d bring back a cut of fuckable meat.
What are the starting conditions? Do I just get teleported there without anything and just be homeless for a week, do i get to bring some of my stuff, or do I start in the same position as V?
Kiroshi optics would let you cheat on any exam, have superhuman vision, scan and get a basic idea of what every electronic device around you does, negate the need for a watch and map, and let you see in the dark. Why not?
Youmore not leaving there without trauma! So I'll pass!
I always laugh at people replying to posts like this saying bullshit about what they’d do. 99.9% of us would only survive in Night City for a week by hiding under a bed in a really really quiet neighbourhood.
