T-Bug dies during the heist at Konpeki Plaza.
T-Bug, a skilled netrunner and a key member of V’s mercenary team in the video game “Cyberpunk 2077,” meets her end during the pivotal mission at Konpeki Plaza. As V and Jackie attempt to steal a valuable biochip from the megacorporation Arasaka, T-Bug is responsible for hacking into the building’s security systems to assist them. However, during the heist, things go awry when the security system detects her intrusion.
Arasaka’s countermeasures against netrunners are swift and lethal. T-Bug is digitally traced and targeted by the corporation’s defense systems. Despite her expertise, she is unable to fend off the aggressive counter-hacking measures. Players witness her demise through their neural connection as she is overwhelmed by the security system, which results in her brain being “burned out.” Her death is sudden and serves as a grim reminder of the dangers that netrunners face in the treacherous world of “Cyberpunk 2077.” It also sets a darker tone for the rest of the game, highlighting the high stakes and the ruthless nature of the corporations that dominate Night City.
