Netrunner: System Reset - Lethal or Not? vs Quest Contract:Accitend at work

[KarolKotowicz]

Hey.

I have no lethal approach, and am using netrunner path.
In the quest "Contract: Accident at work" i needed to deal with cyberpsychosis of one of company employees who got it via breakdance session. To this point I believed that a hack "System Reset" is non lethal as it's description says it leaves the target unconcious. See attachment ("utraty przytomności" means "loose of conciousness).
True, this hack does not have usual "nonlethal" bullet point. This alone is worth looking into because if it is actually non lethal, this fact should be clearly pointed out in the desc. And if it is lethat - stuff with loosing conciousness is misleading.

Let's assume it is actually non-lethal.

During a quest "Contract: Accident at work" i have used this non lethal hack to disable rogue cyberpsychosis NPC. To my surprise the only alive NPC in the area greated me with a new quest dialogue line in which i could have reply "i have killed the target". Either i was fooled from the start and System Reset is in fact lethal, or the quest is broken and does not recognize a way tof not killing a target.



Also a question, what is the easy way of telling if a target was KILLED or KNOCKED down? Like "Corpse", "Body", "Unconcious body"?

System Reset is NON-LETHAL, I use it a lot and it always knocks people out WITHOUT killing them.
Must be a bug.

Usually if a person is killed there should be a blood pool around them, but sometimes it bugs out and they just look knocked out but they are actually dead.

System reset is non-lethal, it knocks them unconscious.

Thanks, but i am still confused, very often to be exact.

There are cases when I fight with enemies using Baton melee weapon (which has "non lethal" in it's desc) yet after defeating then there is a pool of blood.
This would need a better UI representation whether enemy was killed or knocked out.

Yes, when you scan them it should just say if they are alive or dead.

It's definitely non-lethal. It's also OP for a stealth hacker build. You can take out an enemy standing right beside another enemy and they won't even react. At least that's the case with about 20 minutes of experimenting with it. You can tell if an enemy is knocked out vs killed pretty easily if you're up close. If they're killed then they won't be moving and they'll usually have a blood pool form under them. If they're knocked out then their eyes will be open, they'll blink occasionally, and their bodies will move a little. That's what I've noticed though. Just check the eyes. They give it away for me.

I've had people who I'm supposed to deliver alive end up dying when I sat them down. I'm guess certain locations/positions result in an unconscious person dying.
