Cyberpunk 2077 OST | (Don't Fear) The Reaper | The Rebel Path Medley 

Ballin', but at what cost?

@@alexandermackie7621 Arisaka's

Sounds like something johnny would say

This is the only canon ending imo. You COULD sacrifice your friends and loved ones to break into Mikoshi just to save yourself... Or you could say "Fuck it, I'll take you all with me."

Literally just "Die on fire, bringing down everyone with me"

Thats my favorite johnny line in the mission

genuinely made me buck up and start blazing a path straight to mikoshi

@@clairegranier2428 Ikr, it's cool how characters in fictional games could actually motivate you. That's also when I pulled out my defender.

I hit the fuckin Sandy right after he said that shit and “blazed down that rebel path.”

And the music in that scene slowly starting and turning up higher and higher is something else I died like twice because I was like level 30 😂 and got absolutely shredded and second time I blew myself up

The best mission shows how u and Johnny are alike.

That line with the Rebel Path fading in is the most hyped I’ve been

Satori yes iron

​@@Local_commentorI went London on the Saka dogs on my first run.

Best part is i just got here form a reddit video about that kind of thing

the the

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!!!

"Fuckin chip...I'll rip it out myself!"

Singlehandedly TKOing the most powerful PMC in the world in one fell swoop during a suicide run

@@charliemcmillan4561 Well, the Night City branch.

​@jimijenkins2548 Still pretty damn impressive. Imagine V fully recovers after stealing from the Crystal Palace before deciding to wipe out the other branches

@@LenoViburnum Given how quick V became a cybernetic superpower, I don't think a six month time limit would save 'saka, anyway.

*honored. Not trying to nitpick. It's just that Johnny's a pretty literal dude, and him dropping "honored" holds a lot of weight. It's funny how well V gets to know him, while to some of his strongest allies refer to him as "a punk rockerboy who wound up dead".

"You can't just shoot a hole into the front door" Objective: Shoot a hole into the front door

it just shows how dumb johnny's plan was and it still worked and the fact that rogue says what not to do is what johnny does makes it even funnier

Got some serious "you can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars" *objective: shoot a hole into the surface of mars* vibes

@@derpycke649 Every plan can be a good one if you just execute it properly. The way I see it, most plans fail because they weren't executed properly.

@@derpycke649 Shows that enough gun and inhalers makes even the best defense a joke.

If you listen to their dialogue, they do freak out it being only one guy

@@dallowfusionblast "What the!!! It's just one merc!?!?!" I remember one of the guards saying that deeper in the tower.

Even Smasher is like "Are you fking kidding me?!"

Its better if you play melee character just some random guy going through their ranks taking 'em apart like legos

Some of them even beg for their lives, or say shit like, "Oh my God, this is the end..." CHILLS, man

and then suspicions rise he was in on it and he gets flatlined.

I feel so angry and stupid that i didnt get it the first 2 times becouse i didnt pick one dialog option

on god you are 1 man killing an army one of the most badass moments in gaming fs

The best moment

That's V - NC's apex predator. He rolls in when corpos fly outta hand. Gonks out there, though, just a midday snack for 'im

the best one is the one from aldecaldos, this is like the 2nd best for me

Just focus. You're better than them.

Kept dying too so I just let the game end free roamed did some side missions and stuff till I was like level 50 and then I replayed it, it was too easy I was cutting mfs down in one hit and then combined with the sandevestan I felt like the goddamn terminator

@@jay_r9825 Glad to know you had a great experience.

​@@jay_r9825gotta be more aggressive, since the NPCs come in waves, you will be overwhelmed if you're not clearing them out fast enough :d

@@nullrupo Lo que tú digas

Or maybe not. Cyberpsychosis makes an individual attack indiscriminately. V, no matter how you play them, had an objective, which was to get to Mikoshi. Researchers and those brought in to survey the damage would see a very, very clear path forwards. It might look like a cyberpsycho at first, but then they'd start to realize that they were dealing with something much worse. Someone who had all the implants and power of one, but who still (mostly) had a sense of self, and a plan in mind.

@@Ultra04channel yeah this is why sakas labeled him as A TERRORIST, not a psycho

@@Ultra04channel V, the man with the plan

Nah, it's just skilled solo moment, but fine theory

I'd disagree simply because you hear the Arasaka goons yelling "terrorist!" And "extremist !" Meaning they know what you're there for . They know this isnt random. This is calculated. Perhaps , poorly calculated, considering the circumstances, but calculated nonetheless.

This ending would be the equivalent of a dying homeless man killing the entire military of Australia

To go out in a goddamn blaze of glory

All the gonks he terminated along the way were just hordes of Emus.@@wait-wha

@@wait-wha Florida man path!

"Grab your iron, lets mobilize."

Time to T-Pose like it's every game

on new year, im yelling this

best part is i graduate from highschool that year

I'm not gonna lie that line got me hype as FUCK during this ending

@@shinigamisway1645 SAME DUDE

LITTERALLY lmao, the why do i hear boss music that isnt our bosses theme.

Well, you've now made it headcanon for me that V has speakers blasting The Rebel Path while he's going through the tower.

@@DissertatingMedieval to be fair that sounds like something Johnny would tell v to do lol

@@lonewolfcharles especially with that detail on playing Samurai in the tropical room during the rescue and Rogue commenting on it

“Hey, this song’s familiar! Uh oh-“

they literally scream that your a Cyberphycho. they are fucking TERRIFIED.

V is absolutely, positively, Him

when everyone realized they were in an edit and V's name was in the title

Respectfully, I believe is name is "Himothy," but I digress.

Plus V and Jackie always wanted to become legends and thats one way of doing it haha. At least i feel like its most fitting for streetkid

“You just learned what it takes to be a legend”

Who needs another nuke when you're far more dangerous

"Tower"

i had to play again the full game because this was my first time playing a game that need multiple save data, so i had to play again the whole game, until the mission chippin in, and then look at youtube to get the right decisions, then after that i could unlock the dont fear the reaper ending.

Bro you could have added a console command to get it too using Cyber Engine Tweaks

​@@s1mplet0n94not everyone is on PC Sincerely, A PC User.

More games should have a secret, cranked up to 11 ending you can go for

You're totally right, those little convos were so cool. Wish he'd appear during free roam tho instead of just during very specific quests. Felt like we just didn't get enough of him and that most of his appearances weren't very natural.

@@taco8077 just imagine him popping up in the small little sidequest where you kill some cops bullying a corpo ”Oh for fucks sake its a corpo! Cant you just let the guys do their thing?”

@@dani.2479 but that already happnes, johnny pops up all of the time during side gigs

Nah, we know silverhand Just befriend with V to take his body, yeah i like when he appears to talk with V and each other be Nice with the other, but in the end, he's selfish, he wants V body to another arasaka attack

He is a war veteran, firefights like that are his specialty. Makes sense he wouldn't panic like that

The best line Johnny has in my opinion.

10 outta Heywood!

Thanks to unabated gang wars.

@@whitewolf2265 -thanks to unabated gang wars. One officer down, so I guess you’re all screwed! ‘Cause the NCPD will not let that go. Got another blackout in Santo Domingo. Netrunners are at it again, pokin’ holes in the power grid. While over in Westbrook, Trauma Team’s scrapin’ cyberpsycho victims off the pavement. And in Pacifica… Well… Pacifica… is still Pacifica. This has been your man, Stan. Join me for another day in our City of Dreams!

Thanks to unabated gang wars

One officer down so I guess you're all screwed!

This would make it soooo much harder but sooooooo much better!

Regina Jones: Hi, V, got a cyberpsycho sighting at Arasaka Tower... He just walked throught the front door and flatlined everyone in sight. I know you are extraordinary, but this psycho is something else, not even the Arasaka security forces can put him down. Wait, is that you? What the fuck....

the credit screen being the news and everybody sitting and watching it at the same time

If during the short moments of downtime during the mission you could reply back quickly letting them know what you're doing. "I got myself into this mess, and I'm done with putting the people I care about in danger for my gonk ass. I'm cleaning up my mess on my own. Either I get to Mikoshi or die trying. At least this way, I go out on my own terms and I can take as many of those Arasaka assholes with me as I can." "Is that really you, V? Or Silverhand?" *No response*

Panam: V! WHAT THE FUCK?! WHAT'D YOU THINK YOUR DOING?! Judy: Hey V... Go get 'em, tiger. Kerry: Holy shit V! your all over the news! What the hell kinda stunt is this!? Mama wells: V.... Oh, V.... you will be joining jackie soon, wont you? misty: (insert tarot card stuff idk) Takemura: V!? what are you doing?! why not bring justice to yorinobu?! Regina: V, got a cyberphsy.... wait, is that you? what the hell?! Rogue: V?! Or is it silverhand i'm talking to?! Reed: V! What are you doing?! the NUSA cant help if your a damn terrorist! Vik: hey V... I wasn't able to save you, so go save yourself kid, have fun. Just my take though.

That one guard yelling “It’s just one merc?!” In disbelief sells me the most on this unstoppable V tearing through Arasaka

@@jottys3709 Imagine the terror of dealing with a Sandevistan equipped V. You don't know who it is, or why they're doing this, all you know is that they're zipping around at extreme speeds shooting and swinging blades around, and hitting everyone with perfect accuracy.

@@Ultra04channel Even better, pure hacker build. Imagine, a lone V casually w a l k i n g into Arasaka tower, everyone who falls under her gaze just instantly... fizzles out, silently. The last thing you see are cold lifeless eyes, before your critical implants simultaneously have a meltdown.

@@MrBl4ckY to complete all operating systems one man with a massive shotgun who seems to be on an adrenaline and rage filled killing spree

@@MrBl4ckY Why not both :D. V is more dangerous than even smasher and v is still at least half human by the end. Smasher is 96%? chrome.

Blackhand could do it with no casualties :)

@jeffbrownstain Lol Blackhand couldn’t even do it with Multiple teams, Nukes and Millitech backing. No chance he pulls it off Solo. Blackhand’s got nothing on V.

@@Cliffy1616 Blackhand has the experience, but V has the power

yeah but Blackhand did it in 2023@@Cliffy1616

⁠@@jam2394yeah 2023 when Smasher was weaker… And again Blackhand had far more resources and superior backing. Blackhand at his Peak was supposedly the only one that could potentially match or beat Smasher. The only one considered his equal. V ends up straight superior to a more powerful version of Smasher. And that can be a V that’s got nothing but Kiroshi’s and a hand implant, that uses nothing but guns and their own skill. Blackhand was the superior mercenary you paid him to do a job and he got it done. V on the other hand can let their own personal feelings effect their choices on jobs they’ve been given. (This comes down to the player) But by the end V’s list of potential achievements that have them reach legend status straight up surpass Blackhand’s.

In a few hours we are going to party likes it's 2023

“Huh, you just discovered what it takes to become a legend. Grab your iron, let’s mobilise” fucking iconic

Blaze way down the rebel path 🔥

"If I gotta die, rather die gun in hand and on fire, and not drag anyone down with me" - V, accepting Johnny's batshit insane proposal

The problem is, I don't even have a chance to go back home to grab my hottest iron😂 the system just send you straight to the arasaka tower😅

I agree. For me, when the guard stopped me, I just unleashed a full clip in him using Johnny's gun. After that, I went all out with his gun, cyberware and grenades.

V is such a badass, and probably *the* most powerful person in Night City.

@@spiderz5145 It's actually fucking insane how strong V is in this ending. Killing Adam fucking Smasher while being basically paralyzed... I doubt there's anyone who can match this V in the entire world.

nah, ALL Vs

“I dont wanna die” well neither do I bub looks like we BOTH cant have what we want

Yeah this ending is great, and also a reminder that some of the other songs on the OST are YOUR boss music, like V is your song.

to me the panam ending with Judy is letting go of the city and finding some happiness and this one is a hollow victory (but epic nonetheless)

That's the one thing I don't like about the Don't Fear the Reaper ending...that you can't leave Night City after. I like the idea of taking out Arasaka, then walking away.

@@rewinderon707 agreed

@@DissertatingMedieval if only. Woulda made it much better

i mean you become the apex predator in night city, not even corporations are safe from you AND you're still dying anyway, might seem hollow but V is the only person that could become a living legend in night city

@ThirdEyeCrow you are in luck: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ETyg5MCMvg.html

They already did, track is called "Been good to know ya"

That is what i intended somewhat with this mix, however i feel there is a better mix to be made with some of the mikoshi tracks and V's theme

@@gooooine could you mix the rebel path cello with the cello of V's theme in between?

@@axl2059 I could...

Imagine being the average arasaka soldier, gunning down a cyberpsycho charging you, and they just get the fuck back up and fry your friends implants, then gun you down and move on like it's nothing

That would honestly make me piss myself and run, FUCK that!

V for vendetta.

Panam would understand. That’s what I told myself while slaughtering those poor ‘Saka Gonks.

Next game starting with V raiding the crystal palace would be craaazy

i think in the sequel we get a new mc bc V is gonna die anyway@@charliemcmillan4561

@@charliemcmillan4561 Then what other places could V raid after the Crystal Palace though? Imagine them let lose onto the NUSA.

@@britneypattinson123 PetroChem, SovOil, the world is rife with corrupt corps begging to be raided

Same, they got lazy with it.

But rogue shows up for 5 seconds if you do (don't fear) the reaper! thats worth replaying the whole game!

rogue still kickin it in the afterlife

this ending should have been the synthesis ending change my mind

I feel like no one ever mentions it can also lead into temperance

Like Shiva mastering the great snake and becoming god.

Johnny's pistol.

​@@vmxkarelyn_0842or Rebecca's Shotgun

Or both

This part always physically echos my brain. Idk how else to explain it.

whats the name of that part? race to mikoshi doesn't give the same ost

Also the malorian arms is recommended for the run

Throwback to the guard that yelled “I SURRENDER” before I pasted his head with a hammer

This is THE year... better make it count

a bunch of calls that all go along the lines of “V! What the fuck are you doing?!”

Like Lucy hacking into Arasaka and seeing V and Smasher fight?

That Would be cool to see, unfortunately Edgerunners is only 1 season
