@Sath - Thanks. I saw the video but I didn't know the green orb was the target node.

I just did the side mission where you have to kill two drug dealers. I tried talking to them, but they just ignored and insulted me. So I shotgunned em. Then the alley erupts with enemies and I had to shoot my way out. I waited like 5mins for things to cool down then I talked to the NPC. Was there a better way to do that?

Also, I got the double barrel shotgun, is the other one better?

Weird, I shot the first on in the head with my silenced pistol and I used a takedown on the other one, nothing special happened after that

@Phaethon

Yeah the hacking can be tricky for sure, check tutorial because it definitely helps.

Also, I used a sniper to take out those two thugs, went up from a ladder to one of those high ladder places, and used cover and started sniping both of them.
Then I kept waiting for the alerted hostile near those guys to cool down and then I just went down again and went to the guy to complete the quest.
As long as they dont see who killed them, you are good, you dont even have to wait for the alert-cooldown, just make sure you are hidden while killing them like a assassin ;)

Hacking was never difficult, even when I didn't understand it. My problem now is that I don't feel like wasting Praxis points on upgrading to new security levels. Also, I didn't realize when using a computer that it didn't stop the in-game action. Somebody snuck up on me .

And fuck everything about boss fights when I don't have any ammo. This dude in the loading dock is invincible.

Well dont use Praxis on the hacking, but you wont go further than what you have from the beginning. Hacking is super important in this game to gain free XP, items, credits...etc.
If not, goodluck finding pockets with passcodes and passwords to the right place.
And yes, the hacking is in-game action, so even if you are in a room were you passed some enemies and the room has windows, make sure nobody is there before you hack, yes, even with a close door they will see you...sometimes.

The bossfight, you mean barret right? I found him to be extremely easy.
I died two times because I wanted to see his pattern of movement and attacks, and I was greedy :P
But then it hit me, he was like a machines, his weapon is augmented to his body so the obvious choice was, EMP grenades.
Throw EMP grenade, it will stun him and then go close enough so every shot you do is a 100% headshots, done :)

But maybe you are talking about another boss? If so, Barret is my first and only boss I countered so far (I am in the China level now).

I got him. Found a stun gun in a box and just went to town on him with it. Took 3 shocks, two EMP grenades, and gratuitous shotgunning.

Watched a buddy take on Barret. He used EMP nades and threw explosive barrels at him. Worked like a charm.

This game is bloody good.

I tried that. Only had two nades so running to the other barrels wasn't really on my agenda. Stun gun worked like a charm though. I also slung some 1990s "yo mama" jokes that I believe may have helped.

Montreal doesn't have a hub. You go straight to the mission there.

Ah, sucks. All promotional material made out there was 3 city hubs. At least they're pretty massive city huns. So all's good.

He went down OK when I used my remote det packs on him. But he was a pain for a person who has specialized in hacking and tranq' weapons.

Main menu ticker says "SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT AT 2200 GMT" which is in ~45mins. Got to be DLC hasn't it?

Anyway I just finished my stealth/non-lethal playthrough, although I killed one guy early on and missed the achievement. Easily 9/10.

Gonna start a new game and go apeshit killing guys now. Didn't even use the Typhoon or most of the lethal weapons last time!

Also DO NOT SKIP THE END CREDITS!

I must have missed like a ton of shit, because I have seen nary an explosive aside from my frag grenades. I'm becoming a beast with this silenced pistol because I haven't found much else better. Ugh, I need to upgrade.

I'm gagging to play with my explosive rounds revolver. Next boss it's coming out to play. I think it's so stupid how combat focused the bosses are tho. I'm forced to carry weapons i otherwise dont even touch, wasting inventory space in case there is a boss fight. They really should have taken the multi-option approach to them as they did the rest of the game.

I have 3 aug upgrades to spend, i have all the hacking and stealth ones i want. But dont know if it's worth updating my armour to take more damage. But again, seems like a waste of praxis for the sake of a few bosses? Like punching through walls. I've seen 2 walls that could be punched through. Hardly seems worth upgrading.

All the boss areas have plenty of weapon pickups either in alcoves or containers so you're never left holding your (augmented?) dick in your hands.

I shoulda, I upgraded it to shoot laser beams. Pew pew.

But no, if you can run around and evade that guy long enough to find something. He wasn't tough once I found a stun gun, but that guy not flinching to shot gun blasts was startling.
