    One thing to keep in mind with the headshots. It doubles the damage that passes through the head armor. So normal goons with no head armor? Easy. But if you have combat troops the double damage is significantly less.
  • I just picked up the core book for Cyberpunk RED, and dear lord it is a really, really well designed sci-fi game.
  • @Takesjokes
    ah yes... I too remember when that guy had his legs blown off.

    I understand that some people might prefer CP 2020, but I think that Cyberpunk Red is a well-made addition to the series. The Skill System feels open-ended, but a little less Byzantine, and the Critical Injury/ROF system makes for some interesting tactical choices.
  • @dgrageriot
    Clear, concise and everything I would expect. Well done sir! Keep 'em coming!
  • @omnisquirrel
    This video saved the game for me! I could NOT understand the cover rules...but the way you explained them, it made me enjoy the system (a system I already loved) so much more. Thank you for this!
  • Thank you for the content you've been a huge help getting me started on being a GM! You've been the main guy I go to for anything Cyberpunk!
  • You are so clear when it comes to explaining systems, i went through 3 other youtubers and they took forever to explain the system.
  • @shonuffmofo997
    Thanks for the overview! This was the one aspect of the game I was worried about. I am glad I found out that I should not be worried at all.
  • @Chindividual
    Watching this video and listening to your explanations really helped me understanding RED's combat system. Thank you for making this! :D
  • @noahmiller9069
    awesome video for a GM new to the game! Thank you so much! this helped clear up a ton of questions I had combat
  • @pelijer
    I feel like this is the combat video I've been trying to find for any rpg
  • I knew most of this just reading the core book, but this is absolutely fantastic and concise as less detailed explanation of combat and variety.
  • @patrickkanouse
    Amazing breakdown. I’ll be sharing with my players to help them understand.
