The Maximum Force Tactical Division or just MAX-TAC is a specialized sub-group found in most major police forces, established to deal with rampaging maniacs suffering from advanced cyberpsychosis. The condition has been a big problem in the cyberpunk universe since the 2000’s. While state-sponsored therapy is an option (usually performed via painful brain dance sessions). The hardest part is getting the patient into the psychologist's office. What do you do when a metal armored, cyberboosted maniac starts randomly killing people? Well, you call the Max-Tac.
Originally a division of SWAT, Max-Tac's actual role has expanded since its creation. While they are the only real force capable of dealing with the cyberpsycho threat effectively, they are occasionally also utilized as a higher form of SWAT. In any situation where SWAT fails, Max-Tac will arrive. Their job is almost always Hit Hard and Shoot to Kill. In many ways, they are as dangerous as those they are brought in to fight: many officers are teetering on the brink of cyberpsy­chosis themselves. NCPD sees this "fight fire with fire" strategy as effective.
In cyberpunk 2077, If V commits several high-profile crimes, they will assume he is a cyberpsycho and attempt to kill him sight. These Psycho Squads are far more powerful than a typical NCPD officer and will chase V down to the bitter end. I honestly don’t think it is possible to defeat them without enabling some sort of god-mode cheat. As stated by CDPR, they have a story to tell, and that does not include mass murdering of innocents at will. So don’t expect to go full rampage like you could in GTA.
The max tac is the first thing we ever saw when it comes to Cyberpunk 2077 promotional material. It almost feels like another life for me, but in 2013, the teaser CGI trailer features a woman going Cyberpsycho and being shot down by a Max-Tac agent.
