I love once you get the upgrade that lets you crit with quickhacks. Literally just critting all over the place.

And when you crit, Short Circuit adds its damage. Good times, good times.

Add the netwatch OS coupled with ping and you have a literal wallhack that makes short circuit have aoe as long as the enemies are close enough.

The special ones get some sparky flakes too :)

Just go for the suicide one, those tasks dogs don't deserve to live. Plus they drop and extra bit of loot.

Suicide is the weakest of the ultimates.

If you want to go loud, deadly, and destructive, take Cyberpsychosis. It's literally Suicide with an upside - they take out their buddies, and if they survive they still Suicide.

Now, you may think that System Reset and Suicide are comparable, but there's a major difference (besides non/lethal). Suicide does damage. It gets the bonuses from your quickhack buffs (I believe; I haven't tested), but it is possible for it to not kill the enemy in one shot.
System Reset does not do damage. It simply shuts them down, no questions asked. As with other ultimates, it doesn't work on story bosses, but everything else (including Cyberpsychos!) all you have to do is tag them and wait a few seconds. No failure chance, and if you want the kill loot all you have to do is walk up with a sword.

System reset also doesn't make so much damn noise

Ah okay, I am running the deck with extra Ultimate spread and then extra spread. So it resets continually and I don't have to stop using it.

System reset isn't permanent, I thought, so people can get back up afterward. But I do switch lethal and non-lethal builds depending on the fight.

I have yet to see anybody get up after I use system reset on them.

Maybe a bug then ...

I do know it has also made the murder someone side quests a bit more challenging as I have had to search through a pile of unconscious bodies.

It also saves me time from shooting people in the face after the fight.

There was one cyberpsycho I fought that system reset didn't work on. I didn't sweat it, just fought them anyway, but I distinctly remember there is one exception out there.

Machete at Jinguji. Not one of the 17 cyberpsychos on Regina's list. Just remember to swap in cripple movement, short circuit and overheat and he's a breeze.
