I got past this point but it took like 50 tries, and I've never had to struggle this long in any scenario in any other part of the game ever. It felt very punishing due to the rushed nature, where you're basically fighting against time not to be swarmed and shot down. It's VERY good scenario but coming unprepared to this could probably end other players chances of ever getting further into the story.
The rest of the post:
I'm playing on very hard difficulty and I just feels seemingly impossible to get past the point where you go down elevator to museum and get into this open place to be invaded from like 4-5 doors.
I can get 3-4 down but I just get swarmed by enemies who shoot me half health with shotgun if I even just peek behind corner with aim and they stand like 20-30 meters away far beyond range I would use with shotgun, they take like 5 headshots to kill with pistol. Okay granted I'm specced netrunner but I have ton of armor from some clothes and some cyberware armor bonuses from tech.
I try weapon glitching, disrupting enemies with grenades, run around to each new corner to avoid being swarmed and it just feels I don't have enough damage to take these enemies out.
I get it's very hard but this feels like impossible difficulty at this moment. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Had slightly similar experience with the boss before movie theatre (Sasquatch?) where I just felt like I did way little and boss did too much, but at least she was avoidable by simply running and movement impairing, following with 4-6 double shotgun blasts on face.
But this fight (the expansion mission) feels like every enemy has 33% to 50% of health of that boss. I don't know why it's so hard, when there's plenty of enemies outside before the elevator that go down from 2 headshots.
Maybe if I could use cyberpsychosis quickhacks this mission could be doable but I don't think I have means to escape and get to ripper doc. I don't think I saw any in dogtown either so far, and maybe it's due to the mission.
Any tips?
