* ''Sub-Attica'': [[ForScience Dr. Lo Pak]] is an icy, mass-murdering MadScientist narrowly saved from a capital sentence for crimes against humanity. Relocated to the underwater prison/labor camp Sub-Attica to [[PlayingWithSyringes conduct experiments]] on the inmates, Dr. Pak chafes at his current situation and hatches a scheme to escape. Alongside a few accomplices--one kept loyal to him through [[ForcedAddiction crippling drug addiction]]--Pak plans to flood Sub-Attica and kill off every member of its nearly-400 strong population, while he slips off in the chaos.

[[PsychoForHire Serving corporations for the carnage it affords him]], Adam Smasher savors the deaths of as many innocent bystanders as possible.

* "Back From the Penalty Box" scenario: [[SerialKiller Joshua Brightman]] is a former electronic store manager who moonlights as "The Night City Stalker". With a fondness for "[[ColdBloodedTorture spooking]]" his victims before murdering them, Brightman racked up 32 kills before his arrest for kidnapping and attempted murder. Released from prison 17 years later, Brightman resumes his murder spree, racking up more kills as he attempts to eliminate the fixer Carole Medina before she can reveal to the public his true identity as the Stalker.
* ''The Osiris Chip'': [[MadScientist Charles Westhaven]] is a Humanatech scientist tasked with perfecting the Osiris Chip and its ability to turn those suffering from [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul cyberpsychosis]] into slaves. Heading up the Calahoun Project, Westhaven disguised himself as a crime boss named "Ju-Ju" and begins deliberately driving people into cyberpsychosis just so he can kidnap them and use them as guinea pigs for the Osiris Chip. Westhaven uses the enslaved cyberpsychos to butcher various people and even an entire gang as a test run of their capabilities, then plans to mass produce the Osiris Chip so that countless people can be taken control of by Humanatech.
* ''Land of the Free: A Cross Country MEGA-Adventure for Cyberpunk'': [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Seiji Okano]] is an Arasaka executive who schemes to [[TheStarscream take over the entire corporation]]. Working with Biotechnica to perfect cloning technology, Okano hopes to create an entire ServantRace meant to be nothing but slaves and soldiers for him to take over Arasaka with. When the very first working, sentient clone named Adriana escapes his clutches, Okano hunts her across America and leaves a trail of dozens of bodies in his wake, at one point helping to crash an entire airship of hundreds of people just to get to Adriana. Should Okano recapture Adriana, he cruelly destroys her surrogate mother, then lobotomizes Adriana and turns her into a blank, mindless template for his clone army. Okano also betrays and tries to murder the PlayerCharacters no matter how compliant they are, willing to do anything to see his nefarious plans to embroil the world into a new, bloody {{Corporate War|fare}} brought to fruition.

* ''Danger Girl Dossier'': [[AxCrazy Ripper]] started off as a particularly {{sadist}}ic enforcer of the Maelstrom gang with a noted history of torture and murder, before Warlock promoted him and gave him control over the Maelstrom's scavvers. Ripper began subjecting scavvers to excruciating "tests" so he could weed out the strongest and promote them to proper members of the Maelstrom; only one in twenty on average survive these "tests", and invariably come out both physically and psychologically maimed because of Ripper's sadism. In one exceptional moment of cruelty, Ripper forced a scavver named Ghoul to fish a knife out of molten aluminum with just his bare hands in order to prove his mettle. Completely untrustworthy [[TheStarscream and nursing ambitions that may one day lead him to stab Warlock in the back]], Ripper is the cruelest member of a gang already reputed as Night City's worst.
* ''Tales of the RED: Street Stories''' "Reaping the Reaper": "[[AntagonistTitle The Reaper]]" is an [[AIIsACrapshoot A.I.]] downloaded from the Old Net that quickly begins killing and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating]] Netrunners [[ForTheEvulz for nothing but its own amusement]]. The Reaper begins by insidiously manipulating Netrunners to [[DrivenToMadness insanity]] and eventually [[DrivenToSuicide suicide]], leaving no less than seventeen bodies in its wake before it finds a new way to control its victims: hollowing them out from the inside-out and reducing them to empty meat puppets called "Biodrones". Turning dozens upon dozens of people into Biodrones and using them to kill even more people, the Reaper hopes to hijack an old radio tower and broadcast itself into the minds of anyone and everyone for miles, allowing it to wreak chaos and destruction to its heart's content.

Sending Evelyn into a coma by hacking the latter's cyberware, she lures in [[Characters/Cyberpunk2077V V]] with promises of removing Johnny and saving their life, but uses them to make contact with Johnny's old girlfriend turned A.I., Alt Cunningham. Brigitte intends to use her to cast down the Blackwall surrounding ruined cyberspace to allow [[RobotWar hordes of malevolent A.I. to destroy humanity]] but spare her own life in exchange.

* "Guinea Pigs": [[MadScientist Dr. Joanne Koch]] is a Biotechnica scientist, who is known for her [[PlayingWithSyringes unethical, abusive experiments]]. Koch oversaw the creation and implementation of Project Nightingale, in which the Red Ocher clan was used as test subjects for a painful, brutal treatment that lead to over 70 men, women, and children dying [[CruelAndUnusualDeath horrible deaths]]. To clean the slate and ensure she faces no repercussions for her actions, Koch [[FrameUp frames]] and [[HeKnowsTooMuch assassinates]] multiple people who could connect her to Nightingale, and when V comes after her seeking vengeance for Red Ocher, Koch brushes off the vile experiments as nothing but [[ForScience necessary research]].
* "Monster Hunt" : [[AxCrazy Jotaro Shobo]], aka the "Devil of Kabuki", is a Tyger Claw member known for his extreme [[{{Sadist}} sadism]]. Running a BlackMarket ring for illegal braindances, Shobo [[SnuffFilm films himself]] torturing and [[SerialKiller murdering]] men, women, and children in the most horrific ways he can think of, even attempting to ally with another snuff ring to expand and pondering ways to make the kills even more gruesome and emotionally devastating to his victims.
