I Spy only solve half the problem with Overheat. Enemy nethackers can Overheat you behind a cover, and moving out of line of sight doesn't stop Overheat from up

Yeah that is annoying, but you can do the same back. My primary issue with overheat is not the mechanic itself, but the complete lack of education in game on how best to defend yourself. The whole quickhack, netrunner aspect of the game is completely lacking in tutorials or explanation. Which is a real shame, because it looks like a really interesting mechanic.

  The game gives you a quickhacking tutorial at the very beginning. The mission with four tutorials in total, two optional

    Yeah I did the tutorial, but found it very basic. Really looking for something that helps better explain how to fit quick hacking into broader combat. I have really progressed beyond pings and optical reboots, which makes me feel like I’m leaving at lot on the table, but the games hasn’t really expressed what that is.

      You need to go to a ripperdoc and buy a cyberdeck upgrade. Then you'll go from only 2 program slots to something like six (depending on the upgrade you buy) as well as more RAM. Really opens up combat hacking options, and as far as I've seen this is never explained.

        Exactly this. One of the rare (blue) hacks fries enemies for a good hit of damage. I've seen it one-hit a lot of trash-level mobs. You can tag em in slow-mo, run around a corner while the hack uploads, then pop back out and finish them off as they react to the pain.

      There's a really good sonic blast one that functions like a flash bang. Super nifty.

    Yeah, but for instance I don't remember any callout of the cyberdeck inventory section, which is critical if you're playing a combat hacker. It only occurred to me to look into it after I got past a point where the devs had previously advertised all the hacking opportunities and I realized my character might be underdeveloped there somehow. Not that I'm complaining much. There've been tons of bugs and wonkiness for me, but I've been enjoying the heck out of the game anyway (wonkiness is par for the course in a AAA open-world game anyway). But it definitely has lots of room for polish. Given how above and beyond they went on TW3, I have no concerns it'll receive it eventually (hopefully -after- a well-deserved Christmas break).
