hey lad, someone is trying to scam me possing as you, just look at the comment that talks about me having a shootout with some moxes and you´ll find
G fuel is trash
I love how every gang is described as not be messed with then V pulls up a messes with everysingle one
Yeah but none are really all that deadly to V
The Tigerclaws are also one of the first and lowest level gangs you encounter.
Well, XP is needed.
V just has that black air force energy
@@grumboflipflorp5688 That rockerboy energy
The funny thing with the 6th St Gang is that, historically speaking, a good number of the well-known gang in real life started out as protection for a community and then deteriorated into a criminal gang after finances became an issue. The irony.
That just makes it more realistic.
I remember seeing a documentary about the drug cartels of Columbia. At one point the Columbian military had a special forces task force trained specifically to fight the cartels. These soldiers however were not very well paid. An upcoming cartel leader saw an opportunity and began recruiting these soldiers as enforcers, as they were highly trained and cartels could easily provide better pay than the army. Many took the offer and the new cartel gained steam by being able to effectively combat the national military using their own tactics. The cartel leader eventually fell from power (can't remember if killed or extradited), which created a power vacuum these soldiers filled. Instead of running the cartel for profit, they ran it for power and dominance. Drug smuggling became a means to fight their war against the state and led to mass atrocities and terror. Can't remember if the cartel was taken down or still around. Reminds me a little of the 6th Street Gang.
The documentary was The Cartel Wars, which is on National Geographic and Disney+. Worth watching.
@@PlebNC they became the very thing they were meant to destroy because the country was too cheap (though probably because the cartel had far more resources at their disposal than the government).
@@PlebNC A similar situation happened in Mexico. Mexican Special Forces trained by the US Military ended up as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel. Eventually they broke away from the Gulf Cartel and formed their own. They were known as the Los Zetas. They were the most brutal and evil Cartel to exist until CJNG.
@@grimgoreironhide9985 That was the one I was thinking of. Forgot their name and got the country wrong. The Zetas.
Press F for all the people who just finished binging cyberpunk edgerunners and now feel empty inside. Including me.
Absolutely quality show, loved every second of it and I’m so glad it brought about popularity again for Cyberpunks world!
Edgerunners fucked me up,mannnn😭😭
haha ''inhales copium intensifies''
also i can never listen to stay at your house the same way anymore....
Press O for not giving a single fuck about this shallow world
I’ve actually been interested in Edgerunner. Haven’t had the time yet but Can’t wait to watch it when I do.
It's weird to me how V wasn't automatically cool with the Valentino's considering Jackie. Sure he left but he was still on good terms with them.
There are a couple missions/gigs where your friendship with Jackie does help in getting along with the tinos, like that one job in their bar where you are allowed into the VIP area and share a drink with another Valentino to remember him.
But also a lot of missions mention that the gangs are not fully unified and don't fully care about allies, Jackie likely wasn't liked by ALL of the Valentinos.
I always tried not to kill them if i could cause of that.
@@craftedteens probably just a good chunk of them and had clout with them to not be messed with by the rest
I get what you mean but we do have an awkward ride with their big boss at the beginning of the game at least lol
@@lordporterhouse2604 What's weird is the padre gives you several jobs to murder Valentinos. I guess guys who went against him, where he doesn't want one of his own boys to do the deed? It's like how Wakako will have you kill an awful lot of Tyger Claws.
The Mox were my favorite gang since I first learned about them in the beginning of the game. Love that their main concern above all else is keeping each other safe
I love them too :) I think MOX is the most peaceful and pleasant guys and girls :) they don't wish harm on anyone, they don't fight with anyone, they just run their own business. give people pleasure. but if someone from their own is hooked, or, God forbid, killed - I would not envy these losers :) if I lived in Night City, I would definitely join them.
Live to fuck. Fuck to live.
I love that mox bouncer at lizzies bar
mox might just be the smartest gang because they dont really try to make any big moves. just chill at the club and sell BDs to drunk corpos, its a great setup.
Agree! I've seen the other gangs mostly being hostile and will be provoked but I never remember ever fighting someone from the mox! They are everywhere but peaceful and just vibe! I take any mission against the mox crew seriously! If I could join a crew it would be the mox!
Funny how V is able to take them all out in a span of a day if he really wanted to, truly a legend
You can destroy the Maelstrom chain of command, three fukin times
Absolutely railroad over both netwatch and the voodoo boys, and kill the animals boss in the same day
Give the 6th Street gang one hell of an asswhopping
Give the raffen shivs the finger on multiple occasions
And kick the Tyler claws multiple times
And that’s not even mentioning all the side jobs, gigs and NCPD missions you can do that actively screw with these gangs
Hundreds upon hundreds if not thousands of gang members and scumbags lie at V’s feet in the span of maybe a week/month
Not even mentioning the absolute trouncing you can do to the corps and Corrupt NCPD officials themselves
V is the Menace and King of Night City for as short as his reign is.
Truly a video game you mean? Lmfao
@@jakejutras5420 V did take on every gang on Night City, all what we do in the game is canon, including all the NCPD reports and gigs from the fixers which includes take on the gangs
@@jakejutras5420 Why do people always say this nonsense? You can literally say this for every single movie, tv show, game, and book.
Fact is, V is strong enough to take out the gangs. That's just lore canon, sorry.
@@Nick-st4hb wait, as in me taking out every single employee in the asylum because I was disgusted about what they did to an ex NCPD officer for seeing too much, could be considered canon?
Honestly it makes sense that tiger claws are the most deadliest gang, since they are being supported by the most powerful corporation imaginable.🐱
Essentially that’s it. They are financed by Arasaka, without that I doubt they’d be much. Same applies for 6th Street tbh
@@WiseFish Wouldn’t that mean they’re also allied with the Federal government?
@@4m4n40 Not necessarily; the gangs are deniable assets, things the corps can use to strengthen their influence or crush meddling hands without leaving a trail back to them. They're street-level proxies for corpo muscle.
lol that's why I eliminate them no matter what.
Wait but 6th street are supllied by Mitchell are they not?
There needs to be DLC that involves a more in depth gang culture storyline in Night City. This is a really good insight to them and I want to see more!
I would love a faction system put in place for jobs or something like that
@@rokkfel4999 or make a faction
@@sirc1446 that'd be so sick. Create your own cyberpunk crew like in the anime
@@HeyItzScotch Indeed, but maybe the modders will pull it off
Imagine if choosing street kid made you choose the gang you were from.
You know despite its infamous launch this games story and the lore in this world is one of my favorites and The Maelstrom are probably the creepiest in my opinion
That’s because the lore/world mike pondsmith created is extraordinarily deep and fleshed out.
the actual game is a tabletop rpg i believe (same idea as dnd). cdpr didnt come up with it, they just asked to use the property. not sure what the deal between them and mike pondsmith is exactly like, but they seem to be getting along.
The new updates really made the game what it was supposed to be. I am really glad I have the game and play it with a huge grin on my face! Plus edgerunners is awesome too. Full respect for CDPR
@@scratthesquirrel5242 But the tabletop game happens in 2020, cdpr developed the story, continued it, came up with new characters and looks. It happens in the same universe but you can't say it's just an adaptation of Mike Pondsmith's work since it happens so much further into the future.
@@januszkurahenowski2860 Actually some editions of the game extend well into the 2040's, but you're correct, CDPR definitely deserves praise for bringing the world to the 3d realm and respecting the designs and story of the tabletop games.
The original voodoo boys were a bunch of drugged wounds in a very minor poser gang that mostly stuck to the University district. The announcer here makes them far more terrifying than they were actually depicted in cyberpunk 2020. He was absolutely spot on about the Haitians taking exception to the posers and claiming ownership of the gang. It's worth mentioning by the way that the whole concept of a bunch of Haitian net runners actually comes from William Gibson's novel count zero which heavily featured the concept with certain AIS taking on the roles of the loa.
I was only reading out what it said in the lore book I have as well as the wiki. If they weren’t as terrifying as I made them out to be then fair enough but I was just reading what was written for them
@@WiseFish don’t listen to this fool, this game is 2077 not 2020 the gang changed
@@mookiestewart3776 No this game takes lore that’s already been established dude. He’s probably right. Night City itself is mentioned in things like Cyberpunk Red. The game just takes in place in 2077 but the lore has already been established by its creator. Whom the developers worked with, forgot his name.. black guy.
@@Aristocratic13 Mike Pondsmith
@@FOA89019 the legendary player of Morgan Blackhand.
I'm a tiny bit surprised that you didn't mention the occult rituals that Maelstrom gang members perform. Granted, it was associated with a single side quest. Regardless, excellent video.
I really like that side of them. Each gang has kind of a hidden SERIOUS agenda - the Claws handle a lot of real businesses, the Voodoo Boys are guardians of refugee culture, and Maelstrom are, uh, technomancers I guess you'd say? A lot of the rank and file gang-bangers in the factions probably don't think about what they're really doing. Except the animals, for whom "get swole, make stole" is basically the whole of it.
Or The David’s Gang
@@TipoIrritable David's group were edgerunners (aka Mercenaries) not a gang in the same sense as those mentioned in the vid.
@@acedias12 I mean in the game. David’s group in the game post Edgerunners
@@TipoIrritable wtf are you talking about exactly? David's crew isn't in the game at all...
I’m so glad Cyberpunk Edgerunners is breathing new life into Cyberpunk 2077. I jumped into Cyberpunk for the first time after finishing Elden Ring and didn’t stop until I got the Platinum trophy.
I’m extremely happy it did as well as I love this world but was a bit disheartened by the state of the game and how angry they were with it (rightly so)
It's a really good anime
Cyberpunk and Elden ring are great games to me for different reasons. I love the stories and nooks and corners of Cyberpunk and the combat in elden ring.
Damn I’ve been playing for almost two years and still haven’t bothered to platinum it lol
I cannot get the platinum due to a bug with two gigs 😣
I would've enjoyed a faction system involving ALL factions where you get gigs and side biz from their affiliated fixers on top of the already existing one (Regina, Wakako, Padre, etc). Different gangs will try to recruit V because of his mercenary status and as V you have to decide whether to stay neutral or side with certain gangs. Maybe even making truces between gangs or waging war on other ones. Relationship meters and all that stuff included for increased rewards. You can only get a certain katana/knife set by fully siding with Tyger Claws, AR/Shotgun set from the 6th Street Gang, etc.
Yeah that would have been great. In terms of roleplay this game does sadly fall short in a lot of areas (not to say it isnt a good game or story). I was also very confused that the only thing that ever changed about my visible cyberware were the arms
Personally I feel like maelstrom is the most terrifying simply due to their brutal behavior and sheer unpredictability. Any of the other gangs you could GENERALLY predict what they would or might do, most mox do have a heart and try to protect people and just want to be left alone. you could probably pay off 6th street, tygers and maybe animals. Scavs care about one thing, and are more of a bottom feeder backally group of people. I really wouldn't consider them a "gang" per say, more of a loosely thrown together faction of parasitic guttertrash, even though they are definitely deadly. But maelstrom is like the youtuber said 2/3s cyberpsychos, completely unpredictable and entirely wild. They care only about themselves and even kill their own members, much less anyone else. It's even mentioned that a maelstrom member has been seen killing a kid just for shiggles. They may not be the most intelligent or well organized but I feel like they are the most deadly and dangerous.
This is why I made it my mission to slaughter all maelstroms I see, in the mission to get the drone I killed both Royce and Brick
@@ngythe1king i actually saved brick only because he originally wanted to play nice but royce just turned everything into a clusterfuck lol
I still kill them lmao. Panam ending >
They're extremelly volatile, like a nuke eager to go boom.
"Tyger Claws are the most dangerous gang", meanwhile "in Japan, brain surgeon surgeon, top of all, one day, Tyger claw boss need surgery, but mistake, tyger claw boss die"
"Here is secret, boss die on purpose, best surgeon make no mistake."
i like to think that V is just so well known and so dangerous by the end of the game that the higher ups of these gangs just hear that it was V that steam rolled a group of them they just let it go. what are they gonna do against the guy/girl who offed Adam Smasher
"Boss, do you want to send a crew for revenge?"
"On fuckin' V?! Gonk idea, our numbers are thin enough already. Leave it. Heard they're dyin' anyway."
U rlly start to appreciate the lore depth of this game once u start caring to read all the datalogs u can find. One of the most interesting things in the game lorewise i think is how the open sea is basically a deathzone because Arasaka launched self replicating mines with a built in AI during the 4th corporate war to gain sea supremacy over Militech. Problem was the AI didnt differentiate between ally and enemy ships and a system patch from Arasaka was denied from the AI because it saw it as a virus.
Thats awesome I need to start reading more datalogs, I ended up grabbing them every time I saw one and just got overwhelmed with the amount I had when I finally decided to start reading them.
Its interesting how these gangs formed mainly to being a sort of neighborhood watch similar to the Crips orignally wanted to fight gang violence. As well the socioeconomic situation in NC had basically left many demographics both racial, class and status to form these gangs. Like Valentino, Tyger Claw, and Voodoo boys defending their communities, to Moxes and 6th Street being sex workers and veterans abandoned and forgotten by the governement for a sense of security.
Most street gangs happen that way its from power vacuum
Crips and Bloods didn’t start off fighting violence but definitely were created to help their community. Tookie spoke on this before his execution.
Of course at first, any gang members you come across can one shot you. But after you start becoming powerful, you know which ones to stay clear of. After I’d leveled up a bit, tyger claws and 6th street fools were playthings in comparison to Valentinos. I dunno what it is, but no matter what level I got to, the Valentinos always seemed to be able to surprise me with how some of their gang members were like nearly invincible and could easily stab me to death and taunt my corpse. Whenever I’m in a fight and i hear, “I AM THE CHUPACABRA HAHAHAHAAA!” I’m just like dammit this is gonna be a pain
Have 20 in body, second heart, synaptic accelerator, the skeleton cyberware that gives you more health, spec into athletics, use only legendary armor and fill every slot with legendary armadillo. Doing this basically makes you unkillable
"Be careful on getting on the bad side of the gangs"
*V just casually gunning down gangers otw to go shopping
Excellent work!
A low level V running into a Valentino is a one-shot experience... not sure why they appear to be the most OP in combat in relation to the lore, but it takes half the game to level up enough to competently face them, and even then...
I think this is one of those gameplay over world logic moments. It'd be super disappointed to hit the 2/3 or 3/4 point of the game, and suddenly have the gang in the new area you are focused on be easily the weakest.
Well it would be not fun dying to the frisky mealstromer you meet in a mission area
When V asked river whats the most dangerous gang in NC.
River said: In body count its scav might as well maelstrom.. but in style its the valentinos they really do make gruesome punishment
The Mox naming their clothing brand “Bitch” is so funny but hard af
Shame you didn't mention the Wraiths, I really liked their aesthetic and would've been cool to learn a little more about them, great video nonetheless
I suppose the reason they weren't included is because like the Avocados, they're not really a "street gang" like those within city limits.
@@sluttyMapleSyrup Lmao it's like asking where's arasaka
@@sluttyMapleSyrup Avocados lmao.
@@sluttyMapleSyrup Avocados XD .
@@sluttyMapleSyrup additionally, they were less a distinct subculture and more outcasts from Nomad society.
"Evil Nomads" is as concise as it gets
I feel like Moxes and Valentinos (in that order) are my most respected gangs.
Mixes protecting the most vulnerable in the community, and valentinos actually protecting their community (but screwing others outside of the heywood district) and memorialising their fallen makes them very popular to their communities.
Animals aren’t so bad either, just give ‘em bodyguard jobs and you got some got some pretty good protection XD
Moxes lose a but of my respect because of their new employer.(the lady in charge as you meet them) but I respect em a bit under valentinos.
They're definitely the more moral gangs. On a sliding scale, maelstrom are the most evil simply due to how violent and unstable they are, tigerclaws are a close second, six street, voodoo boys and the animals are some where in the middle.
@@Year_of_the_Dell she was better than the old chain of command
If I had a nickel for every time a gang from 6th street was founded to combat growing gang violence to ultimately becoming one of the biggest gang problems I'd have two nickels, which is not much but weird it has happened twice
Pretty sure there's a reference to San Andreas on 6th street
Fab vid! Some of the gangs in the original Cyberpunk TTRPG are wild. My favourite are "The Trekkies" who can be best described as militant Star Trek LARP'ers! There's a great quote in the Cyberpunk 2022 game book where a Maelstrom boss swears to hunt down and off the head of "Admiral James T. Kirk"! 😆
the Kennedys are my personal favorites
I think the most terrifying gang in this video is the first chick she's a Reincarnation of Lizzie Borden and the physical embodiment of history repeating itself! lol
Any gang can get a good amount of numbers and become a gang of people but she's basically her own mascot having her own bar and everything.
This is an extremely random suggestion but if you need ideas to cover I think the different vampire families from Legacy of Cain Soul Reaver might be interesting to look into.
Dreamcast was the first console I owned and one of the first games I bought was Legacy of Cain/Kane Soul Reaver, sadly I never finished it but I remember there being different vampire families with different symbols different strengths and weaknesses and your voice explaining it would be very entertaining but it's probably dead content because I don't know last time they made one of those vampire games lol
Unfortunately; the gangs in 2077 only constitute about half of the gangs that base in Night City according to the tabletop. I'm not holding my breath, but at least keeping my fingers crossed that the Bozo's and Inquisitors make an appearance in either a future DLC update or franchise installment.
That clown gang would be creepy asf to go against and could be a really cool “horror” aspect to the game
I think bozos are mentioned in game but just not shown
@@mondaysinsanity8193
Yeah; one of the in-game radio DJ's mentioned that the Bozo's disappeared about ten years before the events of 2077. There's also the character of Ozob, which some have taken as an indication that the gang might make an appearance at a later time.
I would personally rather see gangs like Slaughterhouse or the Inquisitors make an appearance, though: the clown thing is played out, but a semi-religious sect of radical body purists in a world of transhumanism and cyber-augmentation has a lot of story potential.
@@chesterstevens8870 true true
Wait there’s more? I know Cyberpunk lore was established before this game was made and thus game useless it
The “Cyberpsycho: Blood Ritual” quest proves that Maelstrom are easily the most fucked up gang in NC.
WISEFISH: all these gangs are dangerous
V: HOLD MY CHIP
They named her after Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquited of killing her parents with an axe, for anyone that likes little facts.
In real life?
@@Aristocratic13 Yes. Lizzie Borden was a real person she was born in 1860.
I don't remember the exact story since it was a while ago when I watched a documentary about it. If you look up
"Borden House Murders" you should find the full story.
Fair warning it is quite disturbing.
@@therevolution8951 thanks daddy!
Man that was a really fleshed out representation of all of the gangs! I think you did a great job to really put these gangs to scale in Night City and I can't wait to hear more from you about Cyberpunk 2077 lore, it's simply amazing! :)
If I have my own gang in Night City. It will probably "Clean up the damn Trash" gang. Our goals is already in the title. Weapons are probably flamethrowers and flame base ammunition.
The pyromaniacs I’ll call you!
*Sign... Cleaners really?
Trash is crazy in night city
The Cleaners
@@Aristocratic13 "Purgers" is also on the table.
There is this one gig given to you by Wakako that directly reference to John Wick. A russian guy (possibly a scav) wanted you to deliver a car to a tyger claw because apparently something bad happened to a dog and a car was stolen from someone really scary. I assumed that in the trunk of the car was his son so I didn't open it...plus it's one of the transporter rules. Either way all gang members are fair game and are eliminated with ...prejudice, especially scavs.
Nice going Choom!
Preeeeem
110% worth the wait from the last Cyberpunk video. No one else on CZcams is matching the quality you're bringing to these.
I wish there was an option to either join or ally yourself with one of the gangs
I would love to ride with the Maelstrom based on their aesthetic alone.
Maelstrom drip is best drip.
The valentinos, the moxes, the voodoo boys and the 6th street saints would fit in very well with a saints row 1 and 2 type game. I really love the lore and characterization of this game.
I've been waiting forever for another Cyberpunk lore video from you.
Was hoping interest would go back on Cyberpunk so I'm glad the anime was a success, means I can happily make them again!
CZcams’s recommendations are on point, I only just started playing both cyberpunk and fallout new Vegas at the same time and I get tons of ur videos, good stuff
Just finished Cyberpunk last night and man eventhough I had fun I kept wanting to learn more about the gangs,towns people and just overall lore. But I didnt feel like reading all the pages of info on the shards. This is like a documentary on Cyberpunk and my god I can't get enough of it. You've def got a new sub man.
You should definitely give the shards a read, there's a lot of good lore in them.
Great work with this vid! After having played Cyberpunk 2077 I could easily recognize these names and remember having to deal with all of them in different missions and gigs. I always really appreciate the detail you go into with these vids and the clips/editing was fantastic! Well played.

V with sandevistan mk4+3 legendary heatsink+monowire: aight bet
I just thought it was weird how Maelstrom and Tyger Claws were so easy to kill while the other gangs were more difficult. I thought it would be the other way around. Doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah the game at the beginning had valentinos and 6th street being higher levels which is why they gunned you down like nothing early to mid game, now they’re all the same level as you.
I really loved your video you did on Night City this one no deferent. Very well made video. keep up. ❤️
You should do a lore video of the Night City Police Dept
👍
Haven't watched edgerunners, YET guys YET, but I was on the cyberpunk train from that first teaser, but listening to more lore? Sign me up
Awesome storytelling skills you got dude! Great video. Hope you can get lots of views so you can make another cyberpunk video.
I would like to hear more about the Inquisitors. They sound like an interesting gang.
I love your content dude , keep up the good work:)
Wow, this is a perfectly made video! Hi there, WiseFish, I’ve been taking a look at a lot of video game lore videos and channels like this one, (specifically relating to Cyberpunk, Elder Scrolls, & Fallout since the lore from those franchises interest me the most). I’m glad I found your channel, because you certainly have talent at telling lore. I’m honestly baffled as to how you don’t have more subscribers and views. Seriously, I’ve seen channels like LastKnownMeal, TheNeonArcade, Kazuliski, Dark LORE Dash, & Gaming Harry talking about Cyberpunk lore, but you actually do it the best.
- Perfect microphone.
- Perfectly balanced audio quality.
- Perfect background music from the game that changes and suits each gang mentioned in the video.
- Good narrating voice with a nice accent. 😉
- Smooth cinematography.
- Awesome thumbnails.
You’ve got potential, man.
I hope you could do a maybe corporate biography like this one with the Gangs. Such as Militech, Arasaka, Kang Tao, and other organizations and factions roles or presence in the city. When I was playing I thought Kang Tao was a Arasaka subfaction, but I think I am wrong so
Kang Tao sounds Chinese while Arasaka is obviously Japanese which quickly implied (at least to me) that they are separate by language alone.
The biggest improvement I could think of for the game would be a mercenary 2 faction system and more than gangs being random mobs. I understand that as a dying man you shouldn't have time to be part of the faction but it does feel like a waste.
the gangs should have been much more fleshed out and developed in the actual game. it’s basically just skins being different it feels like. no difference in attitudes, quests, etc. they’re all just “gang”.
Can you make a video talking about the wraiths or the Aldecaldos , i really love their style and vehicles .
I know the game started rough
But it's probably one of my favourite games ever
Could you do a full lore on the legend of Night City.
glad you talked about this game my friend been having fun in it again
Wouldnt it be cool if you could lead your own gang, hope this could be expanded further in dlc's or an ambitious mod.
That's the Saints Row games.
All these crazy stories about these gangs; and our V just mows through them all. I love it
Great video! Well done
Elizabeth Borden.... Lizzie borden... SON OF A.... how did is never notice this reference (for those who don't know Google Lizzie borden. The rhyme Lizzie borden had an axe gave her mother 40 whacks when she saw what she had done she gave her father 41)
Thank you for all your Fallout videos cheers
No worries! More coming soon
Great video my g
Good Lord! I love the way you present these videos 👌
More Cyberpunk lore please! I really like your videos!
Panam ending >
And of course 6th street gang has the best combat theme alongside Militech called “Patridiots”
I been wanting some lore videos theres so much too this game
Preem video. Could you cover the Unification War next?
I can do my friend!
You know, in my first play throughout of CP2077,I shot a few bullets outside Lizzie’s bar and the mox that were in the other sidewalk infront of the bar they started shooting at me, that has not ever happen to me again
I’d put my money more on the 6th street than on the tyger claws.
6th street has actual combat veterans in its ranks and a militarized tradition. They got fancy military tech from militech (pun unintended), are fairly numerous and a force to be reckoned with
What they lack in lucrative activities they more than make up for in the funding from their corporate overlord.
I guess you could say tyger claws also enjoy saka’s support too but this doesn’t seem to be the case by 2077. Tho if it is, then they would probably have the biggest clashes
I'm glad I've been playing cyberpunk since September of last year.... got it later than release but it's always been fun as hell no matter what lol
Great Video 👍
I like to think i have good relations with maelstrom dince i helped them in all foods, same goes to the valentinos bc jackie was one of them, voodoo boys are basicly dead, tyger claws and 6th street are ok as long as i dont mess with them
But the scavs and rafen...lets just say they always get to know what a mantis claw to the face feels like
Meanwhile my V is always Punisher incarnate... No mercy, no survivors, no exceptions...
Only "gang" that survives any encounter is one that at no point harms anyone- the Mox
Orher than that it matters to me little whether you are Scav scum or "just" Valentino in wrong place at the wrong time.
Well there is slight difference though, Scavs, Maelstrom and Raffen have "kill on sight" policy where Tinos, Tigers, VDBs and Animals sometime get "you arent worth my time right now" when they are just chilling doing nothing...
Gangs of Night city wouldve been an amazing concept for an expansion.
Wow i did not know the voodoo boys history was so deep. It’s insanely cool
Regarding the Scavs, I *_always_* make sure Sergei gets the short end of the deal. Can't trust nobody in Night City, not even the merc you hire.
I feel Voodoo Boys should be higher on the list. Imagine if they came across Rache Bartmoss' codes and programs. They could bring the whole city down to its knees.
Also I wish Inquisitors and Exotics are in the game
Great video as always! Here’s hoping this is a gateway to equally fantastic lore videos in an equally fantastic universe!
In terms of terrifying I got to go with Maelstrom, just the idea of getting cyberware shoved into you as they tear your body apart just unnerves me.
In terms of strongest I got to go with The Mox, their weak looking exterior makes them able to be underestimated. Like, say I lived in Night City and I wanted to fuck with one of the gangs, for whatever reason, but didn’t want to sign an immediate death sentence. I’d avoid Maelstrom, The Voodoo Boys, The Animals, and the Tyger Claws like the fucking plague. They are outwardly scary enough to make me realize fighting them from face value is a suicide mission. The Valentinos MIGHT be a decent target but I wouldn’t want to fuck with their girls purely due to how much they value them. That just leaves The Mox. In my mind they’d just be The Street Guys and Gals. The Dolls. The Whores. A bunch of sex workers trying to act tough with some guns and a little chest pounding. So, I make a move and take over a safe house or two, kill a few of them off, and do what I could to make sure they knew I owned that section of the city. Sure, I wouldn’t get an immediate response. For a moment I might even think they wouldn’t try anything. I’d feel so high and mighty that I wouldn’t realize they had more eyes and ears than I could realize. I wouldn’t notice the fact I was being followed by a girl or guy I considered a non-threat. I wouldn’t notice these eyes and ears keeping tabs on me. I wouldn’t know, until I passed an alleyway or a street corner. I wouldn’t know, until I felt a blade on my throat or a gun to my head. I wouldn’t know, until my body hit the ground.
What? Your argument for the mox being the most dangerous is you underestimating them? What kinda flawed logic is that. Logistically and resource wise the mox are the weakest and there's literally nothing you could say that would change that. Even the 6th street guys despite not having corpo backing and being fairly small have military training and old but military grade tech. The way you said mox could wait and ambush you anywhere ... it literally applies to all the other gangs so it's not their specific strength. If I gotta be hunted after attacking a gang, the mox would be the first and weakest target followed by the animals. Mox cause they're weak and the animals cause they're loud. Another option would be the scavengers but we don't really know the extent of the support of their russian patrons.
Many thanks for this awesome video!
I buoedbi found your channel I can’t get enough of the CP lore I can’t wait for CP 2
Cant wait for Corps and Nomad tribes if ypu plan on them
i remember watchign tons of lore vids before the launch of 2077, and it seems we're missing out on a ton of gangs, sadly
Love your videos especially that shoddy cast stopped
Really nice video
it was really disappointing that there was no gang oriented quest lines or hell consequences for just slaughtering massive amounts of gang goons on the streets. no ''karma system'' or anything.
this comment hasnt aged well
@@glenkabotie8708it better, it's been 3 years of updates lol
The two gangs I'll always target in the game is malestorm and the tiger claws due to their activities and past actions
And scavengers I make sure I put a bullet in thier head to make sure they are dead
I love taking them out
Add the voodoo boys in there
Mine are Valentinos and 6th street
The VDB is one of those things about Cyberpunk's setting directly-inspired by The Sprawl Trilogy (in the same way Braindance is based on Simstim), particularly the events of _Count Zero._
"Never hurt a Mox,
Never leave a Scav alive."
Very cool video. Unfortunately, I feel Cyberpunk failed to capitalize in bringing in the gang lore to life. It would of been cool to be randomly attacked and kidnap attempts while running around.
I think thats a good idea but i feel like it should depend on which territory ur in or (if they added it) which gang u join cuz if u just get attacked or kidnapped randomly everytime u boot the game up it would get pretty annoying.
With how strong and known V is, I don’t think realistically no one would want to fuck with her for like 80% of the game
The random attacks would be cool, but getting kidnapped would really suck, Far Cry 5 has that and it's extremelly annoying because you're just having a good time exploring and then you're forced to play a story section when you don't want to.
Tfw no Animals or Malestrom gf
If I were to choose any of the gangs I’d join, I’d probably go animals, Get Yoked, obtain performance enhancing cyberware like them and once I’m huge I’d try and become a legend. Cause imagine being a tank like Sasquatch Or Razor Hugh’s were with mods like the berserk/Sandevistan, Gorilla Arms/Monowire, Reinforced tendons, Micro Rotors, Heal-on-Kill, Second Heart, Titanium Bones, Shock Absorber, Bionic Joints, Epimorphic Skeleton, NanoPlating, Biomonitor, Adrenaline Booster and so on (those are just the most noteworthy)
Please make more. This is amazing
Great vid, but I think you sold the Valentinos a little short. I think they're deadlier than you describe. They've got the numbers and they seem to come out of nowhere when you're fighting them.
For me the scavengers are like the Murfee Brood and the Skinner Gang in RDR2. Exterminate on site.
I don’t know where you got all this info and I’m sure you’re filling holes at some points , but my god thank you . I’ve been waiting for a quality video about the gangs of night city and this is amazing , great work! ❤️🤘🏽
As I understand it, the original Cyberpunk concept was a table-top game from a while back, there's plenty of lore outside of the video game.
I think the biggest gang would be Arasaka itself.
Well yeah but they are a megacorp so Tyger Claws fulfill the gangster role for them really
@@WiseFish true but you kinda get a taste of it in arasaka tower rush.
Also Militech.
I like how the devs took alot of inspiration from real latino culture for the valentinos
