Who killed Adam Smasher?

No one permanently killed Adam Smasher; in Cyberpunk 2077, V defeats him in the final mission, but Arasaka's cloning tech means he's essentially immortal, with V likely destroying a temporary body, and Smasher would almost certainly be rebuilt by Arasaka, much like previous iterations. In the lore, Smasher was nearly destroyed by rockets, rebuilt by Arasaka with full cyberware, and resurrected multiple times, making him a corporate asset rather than a single person.

Did Adam Smasher respect David?

Yes, Adam Smasher showed a unique, grudging respect for David Martinez in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, impressed by David's extreme tolerance for cyberware and his ability to push limits, seeing him as a worthy, almost full-borg equivalent, even offering a twisted "out" via a construct before ultimately killing him as a final "fun" job.

Was David actually special in Cyberpunk?

Yes, David Martinez in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was "special" due to his incredibly high tolerance for cyberware, allowing him to use powerful tech like the Sandevistan far beyond normal limits, but this ability ultimately proved insufficient in Night City's brutal, corporatized world, leading to his downfall as he became just another pawn consumed by the system and cyberpsychosis. His "specialness" was more about his potential and tolerance, not inherent greatness, highlighting the game's theme that no one is truly special in a city that chews up and spits out even the most gifted individuals.

Did Johnny Silverhand have cyberpsychosis?

Yes, Johnny Silverhand is canonically considered a cyberpsycho, or at least experiences significant cyberpsychosis, with creator Mike Pondsmith confirming his "Hand" (his cyberarm) is his manifestation of it, a coping mechanism for trauma, drug use, and overwhelming chrome, even if he appears functional due to high tolerance or denial.

Is V the strongest in Cyberpunk?

Yes, V is widely considered one of the strongest characters in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe*, especially by the game's end, thanks to the relic allowing immense cyberware without cyberpsychosis, enabling feats like defeating Adam Smasher and taking down Arasaka Tower solo.

Can V be saved in Cyberpunk 2077?

Yes, V can survive in Cyberpunk 2077, but it's never a guaranteed happy ending, relying on specific choices, especially in the Phantom Liberty DLC, with options ranging from short-term survival with nomads, becoming an AI construct, or signing with Arasaka, all leading to different levels of compromise or a potential new life, with the DLC offering the best chance at longer life, but at a cost.
