Am I the only one who experienced this? I respond to assault in progress, where cops are getting shot up and outnumbered by gangers, I help them out within the quest area, and they don't seem to mind that I'm shooting up those attacking gangs. After I wipe them out and suddenly the cops shoot ME and give me 1 wanted star. Like wtf bro I just helped you, and I even holstered right after.

How do you holster?
I couldn't find a key for it.

Double tap the "Alt" key, there's a short popup that explains it at some point, but it's easy to miss.

And yes, helping the Police is risky LOL

Thanks!

The only time I saw the game mention double tapping alt was when I was in the passenger side of the vehicle and I had to shoot the enemies in other vehicles.

Yeah I walked into them as they were trying to open a door to save a gal that called them, and about 8 of them came out of the woodwork and killed me. :/ It was funny tho! But then everyone thought I was the one being hostile idk. I feel like there's a life lesson in there somewhere but idk what it is.

Don't chestbump the five-oh. They really don't like being chestbumped.

The real issue is that you can't really see where your shoulders are, and you will barge through randoms that you collide with. You can test this on regular NPCs as well.

It might seem a bit silly that cops will murder you if you just give them a shove, but this is how Night City's finest roll, apparently.

You should listen to the N54 news more often. They specifically tell you that the NCPD have won the right to fire a warning shot into a limb because it is safer for the officers. Also, they can hold you up to 1 year without prosecution.

N54 news really sets the mood for how things are in Night City.
Maybe in Cyberpunk 2077 lore, the NCPD are just assholes or due to the extremely violent nature of the city, shoot everyone who is not one of them, carrying a weapon and gets too close.

Don't bump into them ... but I crashed into a parked cop car with my car... and they were fine about it (busy arresting someone else). I even stopped and got out to see if they'd do anything and they just ignored me.
It's definitely annoying. Makes the correct option to always be go about your day and ignore the conflict rather than pick sides. It's either bugged or half baked. If i take up arms for you, a small generic thanks, some xp and maybe a boost with the gang's standing should be in order. Alas, I don't think any such thing exists, at least not yet.
