Tendencies

Night City's crowd stops being set dressing. Every adult civilian becomes a mark, and the city remembers what you did to them.

Formerly "Civilians Stealth Kills". Rebuilt from scratch for patch 2.5.

FKill RNon-lethal Takedown 1Mug Eddies 2Interrogate

While grappling a civilian. Red choices are added by the mod.

What is this mod?

The street-level criminal you never got to play

In vanilla Cyberpunk 2077 you can't sneak up on a passer-by, rob them or hack them. Criminal Tendencies gives you the same stealth and netrunning tools on civilians that the base game keeps for enemies, and makes the world answer back. Mug someone in an alley and they might swing at you or run screaming to NCPD. Leave a body on the sidewalk and someone will trip over it. Kill too many people too fast and the city starts sending cops.

Play a quiet pickpocket working the Kabuki market, a netrunner frying corpos from a rooftop, or a full-blown cyberpsycho. Each one gets a believable reaction.

Features

Your whole kit, now on civilians

Stealth

  • Grab civilians from behind
  • Lethal and non-lethal takedowns

New grapple choices

Hold them, then decide

1Mug Eddies

You've got them by the collar, so it always pays: up to 60 eddies by default, sometimes with a trinket on top. Then you shove them away and they react:

30%They fight back and come at you.

70%They panic and run, and report you to NCPD unless you deal with them first.

2Interrogate

They always give up a street rumour. On top of that, one tip about the 40 m around you:

40%Nearby gang members get marked.

40%Nearby stashes show through walls for 60 s.

20%Both.

Pickpocket

A bump in the crowd

A second choice on the Grab prompt. No grab, no animation, no scene.

Consequences

The city is watching

WitnessesCivilians within 15 m who see a takedown call NCPD after 10 seconds, unless you knock them out, kill them or Memory Wipe them first.
Psycho meter ★★★★★Kill too many civilians inside 5 minutes and your NCPD heat climbs: one star for every 3 kills by default.
Body discoveryLeave a body where people walk and someone will find it, panic and report it.
Body disposalStuff a body in a container and it's never found. An on-screen counter tracks how many you've hidden.
