[quote=@Sanity43217] In my opinion, sandevistans are over hyped. Like a decent cyberdeck could blind a sandevistan and it won’t matter how fast they are if they can’t see. I personally don’t think the increased cyberpsychosis risk is worth it. [/quote] I blame the sandy popularity on the show, but to be fair the show makes it look pretty sick. (except for the psychosis I guess) It really depends on the situation if a netrunner can neturalize a sandivestian user imo, the sandy in-game and in the show are pretty busted ngl. In Cyberpunk 2077 it's pretty unbalanced when it comes to quickhacking at the late game and the sandys as well. Sandys in game you can literally clear a pretty big area with a sandy and the enemies will die before they even know you are there. However late-game quick hacking is also OP, so theoretically the quick-hacker might have some chance in just destroying the sandy user from a good distance. Think it really just depends if the netrunner is known to the sandy user. While ICE is supposed to kinda help, in-game it doesn't really matter, outside of story beats. At least in the show MaxTac has some trouble quick hacking a sandy user with military grade ICE, albeit they still did hack him pretty quickly. (maybe 1-2 minutes) In all I find sandys kinda neat, but from a balancing perspective kinda a nightmare, although quickhacking also is in cyberpunk 2077. Maybe rp wise/tabletop they're much more balanced perhaps, although I don't know much about the tabletop or if they even have sandys, so idk there.
