They tend to use painkillers, reflex boosters and optical units with unknown abilities. In their quest for new technologies and other drugs, they'll also gladly attack Corporations. Even if the Inquisitors remain their favorite target, they attack everyone without hesitation. Rather primitive and dangerous, the members of the Maelstrom dress in leather and chrome and have long forgotten the code of honor of the Metal Warriors. We also find in the ranks of the Maelstrom members of the Red Chrome Legion and the Ironsights. It is a fighting gang formed on the remains of the Metal Warriors after they have been almost wiped out by the Inquisitors who oppose any form of cyber software. They are generally found at the Totentanz Club or at the All Food Factory, in the industrial part of Watson. But, mind you, it’s considered a slow night of body count doesn’t reach a dozen by dawn.Maelstrom is a gang obsessed with cybertechnology, as their desire to make up for the weakness of human flesh is much stronger than their fear of cyberpsychosis.Ĭyberpsychosis is a disease caused by too much body modification from which they cannot escape. This one’s pretty good if you’re into neo death metal. They make money to support these habits for cyberware, tech, weapons, drugs and sensations by racketeering, extorsion, threats, violence, theft of all kinds, hitting ever bigger targets, pushing of weapons, drugs Black market Brain Dances ( a brain dance is essentially a VR experience right in the brain, where you see, hear, smell and just outright feel what is presented to you in the scroll (recording)), most popular being snuff scrolls ( where they orchestrate a death of, usually, a low-tier gang member who wanted to prove themselves) or numbness ones, that are widely popular among overstimulated brain dance connoisseurs And their club called Totentanz ( Dead Dance, dance of the dead). But let’s just say, Militech, who are in an almost constant skirmish with the gang, get a run for the money. Which often leads to clashes and outright battles. And they’re not opposed to stealing and killing when they can’t bargain it out of someone. Maelstrom prefers high-profile modifications and are obsessed over them, the new and shiny stuff, the powerful warfare shit. A booster gang like this can be also classified as combat gang. Their members are usually heavily modified and vary from easy going folks who mind their own, or are like Maelstrom, with one third of their gang in active cyberpsychosis, and another third – borderline there. Maelstrom festers over the docks, Watson and Northside Industrial districts, being the only gang in Night City with extreme threat level, making them the most violent gang present.Ī booster gang is basically a gang that is into, well, boosters. They are now one of the booster gangs of the Night City, formed out of leftovers of Metal Warriors and some recruited muscle from other gangs that had issues with Inquisitors, such as Red Chrome Legion and Ironsights. Its factories, the Totentanz Club you’ll meet them there. And then the Inquisitors came and as good as wiped them out in a single night… ( or did they come before?) Maelstrom’s territory is the industrial part of Watson. But as Hammer went, getting booted, so went his code. Back in the day Maelstrom was known as Metal Warriors, with their leader, Hammer, enforcing a code of honor.
