Since the announcement of Cyberpunk Project Orion, there are many things that fans are hoping to see. Rather than being just human, many are hoping to become less human and more chrome. Whether this will happen or not has yet to be discussed, but until then, there are other things to do in Cyberpunk 2077 and implants to test out.
Cybernetic implants are not only fun to use but are also helpful against enemies players face throughout the game. One of the most common is the gangs throughout the city and its districts. Each gang has a different threat level that includes low, medium, high, and extreme, and more often than not, they all pose a threat to players, some more so than others.
10 The Mox
There are many types of gangs throughout the different districts in the city, each having a purpose and reason for existing. The Mox was formed after the death of club owner Lizzie Borden and continue to overlook Watson and Westbrook.
The Mox is considered a low-level threat, at least to players. Players who take up the role of V would have to try to get the gang to attack them, but it's better to stay on their good side rather than cause an issue in their territory.
9 The Aldecaldos
In Cyberpunk 2077, there are multiple endings, and one of the best endings to choose from is to ask Panam for help. That not only includes the stubborn Nomad but also includes the entire Nomad clan, The Aldecaldos.
To the players who take on the role of V, The Aldecaldos are a low-level threat. However, for others, they pose a much bigger threat, and at the ending that players choose that includes Panam, they get to see just how strong one of the largest Nomad groups of the Badlands is.
8 The Voodoo Boys
Not everyone in Night City can be trusted, especially those in gangs. One of the gangs that players will encounter that are less than trustworthy is the Voodoo Boys.
The Voodoo Boys are seen in the Pacifica district and are not afraid to betray those they've made deals with, especially if they can dispose of the person quickly. In person, the gang is considered a low-level threat, but in the Net, that level spikes to an extreme level.
7 The Scavengers
Players will find out quickly that not every gang will reside in one district. One of the most common gangs players will see throughout the game is the Scavengers.
Scavengers, or Scavs, pose a medium-level threat and are spread throughout the entire city, but the districts overwhelmed by the gang are North Pacifica and Southern Wellsprings. The gang is known for kidnapping people, forcibly harvesting their cyberware, and disposing of what's left of the body. It's in the player's best interest to always keep a gun ready when dealing with Scavs.
6 6th Street
There are plenty of great quotes that come from Johnny Silverhand. One of these quotes describes how much he hates the gang 6th Street, and there are plenty of reasons to hate them.
6th Street oversees the Santo Domingo and Heywood districts. The gang abuses its power and forces small neighborhood businesses to pay tribute and protection money, along with many other gruesome crimes. The gang is a medium-level threat, and players should always be prepared to face them.
5 The Tyger Claws
The Tyger Claws are among the most ruthless and dangerous gangs roaming Night City streets. They are one of the many gangs that players are bound to run into and will make enemies with.
Tyger Claws inhabit Westbrook and Watson and are known for their luminous tattoos, fast bikes, katanas, and tantos. They are also known for their distribution of drugs and human trafficking. They pose a medium-level threat, and their blades deal plenty of damage that can quickly deplete players' health bars.
4 The Valentinos
There are plenty of great side quests and gigs throughout the game for players to participate in them. One of the many gigs players can work on comes from the former Valentino gang member Sebastian Ibarra.
The high-threat level gang resides in the Heywood district. The gang wears flashy clothing, jewelry, and tattoos. For the most part, they run legal businesses such as restaurants. However, while this may sound innocent enough, they are just as dirty as any other gang, and unfortunately, players end up making enemies with them, one way or another.
3 The Wraiths
While there aren't as many gangs and districts in the Badlands, the Badlands still has plenty of dangers waiting for players. Two spots, in particular, are the Rocky Ridge and a gang campsite.
The Wraiths are one of those gangs who are known for being sadistic. The high-level gang is known for kidnapping and holding prisoners for ransom or enjoyment, along with plenty of other crimes. Players will be going up against this gang in the gigs they take on, so it's best to be prepared against the gun-toating sadists.
2 Animals
Aside from the variety of weapons that will help players throughout their time in Night City, there are a lot of great perks that are good to have. With weapons and the perks that help boost them, players have a chance to survive an encounter with the high-level gang known as the Animals.
The Animals are not only dangerous, but they are also intimidating in how they handle themselves and how they look. The gang members will often take steroids and participate in brutal tests of skills and strength. Their hand-to-hand combat is something players will have to be aware of because one hit can decrease their health in seconds.
1 Maelstrom
While the Animals may seem like the most dangerous gang in Night City, there is one that citizens of the city fear the most. This gang is called the Maelstrom, and they torment the districts of Watson, Northside, and Kabuki.
The extreme threat level gang is considered the most violent, and they earned that title for a reason. They are known for their brutal and vicious attacks that include experimenting on those they have captured, and those who don’t make it out alive are found dismembered, skinned alive, or found in wet concrete. Players should stock up on supplies and get ready to encounter these twisted individuals who will be waiting to rip into them.
