Adam Smasher didn't become a cyberpsycho

"You're not special, unlike me" - said Smesher before the final battle, we were not given more information in the series, as well as in the game. Personally, I went through the game twice, read all the chips that I came across, but there was nothing about it.

Apparently, this is all the explanation that they came up with, supposedly Smasher is special. Too bad, it was interesting to know why he is so "resistant" to cyberpsychosis.

Smasher is initially inadequate, and complete. Cyberpsychosis is usually in those who are not originally a maniac or a sadist. Maelstrom would have suffered from cyberpsychosis 24-7 with the whole flock, but they are frostbitten, frozen junkies, and cyberpsychosis does not shine like that (as I understand it).

Only here in the game we have to kill the Malstromovtsy-cyberpsychos

MC_Pepega
is who? I remember only two - Lillit (but she was brought in by a specialist) and a guy from Valentino, who was given implants by the Malstromovites in retaliation.

Another sidekick of the main malstromovets, whom Roiz put on a chain like a dog. Mission chain dog is called.

Cyberpsychosis is a failure of implants, i.e. the person loses control over the body. Smasher's body consists of the coolest Arasakovs, so he is not in danger. When you go through quests about cyberpsychos, read the chips. Either a victim of burned implants, or a Wirth with a virus, or an experimental subject, or a veteran of the war of corporations, or voodooists indulged.

Radamel Falcao
ah, exactly - Watchdog. But all the same, they brought it to a specialist. Everyone who went crazy on their own, either the military or ordinary people who could not cope with the implants.

According to the game, the reason seems to be in the implants themselves (burnt / reflashed) and in the speed of their installation - it takes time to get used to everyone, and if there are a lot at once , then you’ll “go”
Although the wiki justification is also in predisposition - such as if there are any mental shifts / deviations, then this is a risk factor.
Also, women are more susceptible to attacks of cyberpsychosis than men (again, stress resistance affects)

ArXangel_ann
I wouldn't trust the wiki. There is a quest with the singer, who also has implants all over her body, even her hair and skin. Then a poster appears in V's apartment. She didn't become a cyberpsychic. It's just a matter of the quality of implants, and of course their maintenance. The Malstromovites are sadists, but they do not rob the homeless, but the militekh itself, and serve their normal doctors (surgeon Craven order, a doctor from 6th street).

Radamel Falcao
I wouldn't be so sure, back in the tabletop it was possible to lean back or get cyberpsychosis when installing a military-grade implant, since the body does not accept such serious changes. Yes, and Max is periodically brought down by cyberpsychics - the military, and there the implants are the best and the reapers are not from the street. And as for the singer, implants that change the skin cover (not a layer of armor), hair, eyes (not extended kiroshi optics), gender correction, and others that do not give advantages and do not expand the boundaries of human capabilities do not lead to cyberpsychosis, a maximum on stimulants will be necessary sit.

Because he is essentially a Borg. That is, within the framework of the desktop, a one-time replacement of the body with a cybernetic one brings less damage to "humanity" (which is responsible for becoming a cyberpsychic.

There is some hope for those undergoing a total conversion...because a total body replacement is performed immediately, the person is less likely to be injured. If a human were to receive all the components of a complete Borg separately, he/she would suffer a huge loss of humanity (usually over 100 HC!). This is because there will be multiple surgeries, repeated physical and psychological trauma, and a kind of "slow splitting of the body and soul" of the patient. However, a complete Borg transformation is an all-in-one procedure that is less like surgery performed on the body and more like a transplant. In such a case, the brain, part of the spinal cord, and the few organs that cannot be replaced (collectively known as the "Biosystem") are transplanted into a "robotic" body. (one)

And Adam Smesher just went through a complete body replacement, when during one of his missions he was literally left with a brain in a jar.

During one of the sorties, a pair of rockets turned Adam into a meatloaf. His buddies dragged what was left of him out of the zone and returned to the Big Apple. The mysterious corporate benefactor took note of this and made him an offer he couldn't refuse: corporate service in a metal body or death. Adam quickly agreed to the deal, as the thought of losing his humanity did not bother him. (2)

The most logical thing that comes to my mind is that he has already gone off the rails, here the same "MaxTak" comes to mind. If you believe the rumors, then in the max stack the same cyber-psychos who simply made a personality adjustment, which means that it is quite possible that Adam did the same.

It is believed that cyberpsychosis is caused by Kiroshi's eye implants. Eyes are hacked and cyberpsychics begin to see the world in a completely different way. Malstromovtsy don't wear Kiroshi. MaxTacs wear goggles to protect against cyberpsychosis.

kys0main
he's just finished

Olgyard
It was also necessary to write in defense of the theory of kiroshi, that in one of the dialogues on the street people say that his neighbor was taken away by the Makstakovites when he killed and tried to eat his neighbor, therefore - cyberpsychosis, to which the second one replies "how? he almost I didn’t even have implants, except that I recently put Kiroshi on myself.”

"Cyberpsychosis", apparently, is not something straightforward and unambiguous, someone may have been driven by their eyes (it's not for nothing that the anime focuses on "jumping" eyes), and someone in life is a maniac and has gone off the rails. In the game, there is an opportunity to meet a woman from the first trailer, who crushed a bunch of people with "praying mantises" and for whom a max-stack came, so she herself serves in a max-stack and gives out manic speeches about how pleasantly the flesh crunches under the blade.

Personally, one frame from the anime seemed strange to me, because when the runners sent demons to others there, there were ordinary people. I don’t really know Lor, but judging by the screen, he’s not a person, but a fucker, and even a demon stupidly grabbed his hand ... I can only associate with wandering AI that live in the old network.

You might have noticed Smasher said towards the end, that he too, is "special". We can trace this back to Adam's roots. He was known to always love machinery and never had a human side. Contrary to popular belief, cyber psychosis isn't caused by excessive cyberware, but rather depends on the humanity of the person. People that have high humanity (high empathy, nature etc) and some gender facts (women are less prone to go insane) all play a significant part towards going that cyber psychosis barrier. Smasher's brain was rescued and worked on excessively by arasaka, in addition to that he's always updated with elite technology that simply isn't available anywhere else. So to answer your question, Smasher doesn't go cyber psycho because he does not have any humanity or human parts left. He is entirely machine.

kys0main Smasher
probably didn't become a cyberpsycho because of his ideological and psychological perception. After all, Smesher differs from cyberpsychics and, in general, most people, first of all, in that he is an ardent sociophobe and a mercenary who agrees to those cases where there will be many civilian casualties among the civilian population. Moreover, his philosophy is “The flesh is weak”, and also that he is extremely fond of violence and does not show any human emotions, even simple compassion calls an abomination, which can be said in principle that due to his maniacism and spitting attitude towards human lives, they make him resistant to cyberpsychosis.

AlpDarkness
From that moment and the screen, it immediately becomes clear that Smasher is a reptilian from the alpha centauri. Prophet Gary didn't lie to us!
