Matt Liaw is the Cyberpunk 2077 Demons of War Cyberpsycho, you’ll have to find and neutralize in the Watson, Kabuki area of the video game developed by CD Projekt Red.
This gig takes place in the northern part of Kabuki, and Matt Liaw counts as one of the 17 Cyberpunk 2077 Cyberpshychos.
The only requirement for this gig is to complete the Playing For Time story mission.
Once you do that, if you travel to the location on my map below, Regina calls you regarding the Cyberpsycho you’ll need to neutralize, and this time we will deal with a sniper.
How To Start the Demons Of War Cyberpsycho Sighting in CP2077
Look for Matt Liaw north of Charter St fast travel point, as you can see in the screenshot below.
When you arrive at this location, you’ll find a bridge, and most likely, you’ll spot several cops getting killed while you talk to Regina.
If you scan the area, you may also spot Matt Liaw in the distance, so my suggestion is to take cover immediately.
How To Neutralize Matt Liaw in Demons Of War Cyberpsycho Sighting
Although Matt Liaw is quite deadly if you get spotted, he is also the easiest Cyberpsycho I’ve dealt with up to this point, and below I’ll tell you how to quickly dispatch this one.
The thing is that Matt Liaw is a sniper, and he is dangerous because of the sniper rifle he carries.
The first thing you’ll have to do is to obviously keep your head down and move from one cover to another until you can see him.
Now, use the Reboot Optics hack because, besides the sniper rifle Matt Liaw also needs his eyes.
And a blind sniper is useless.
Once you use the Reboot Optics, all you have to do is to get close to him and switch to a melee weapon. Preferably something sharp.
As long as you stay close to him, Matt is worthless because he obviously can’t use the rifle he carries. So hit him hard and, if possible, keep him blind.
Where To Find The Demons Of War Information
After you deal with Matt, although there are a lot of corpses to be scanned around you, Regina needs specific information.
And that information is found on Matt’s computer, which happens to be in the blue container pictured below.
You’ll find it on the other side of Matt’s camp. Simply get inside and read all messages.
Now, reply to Regina’s text message, and you’re done. Easy peasy, right?
That’s everything you need to know about Matt Liaw and the CP2077 Cyberpsycho Sighting: Demons Of War, so good luck dealing with this guy, and when you’re done, focus on finding Zaria Hughes.

So, apparently CDPR decided that this quest was too easy and added an extra layer of difficulty.
After you stun Matt, an invisible timer starts, and when it runs out Matt dies. The timer is about 15 seconds, give or take 10 seconds, so you really need to get a move on.
You can still complete the quest with full credit by rushing the laptop and immediately messaging Regina, but you may need to savescum to get it right.
Now, this may be brought about by an unintended side effects of your cyberdeck daemons/quickhacks… But it’s equally likely that it’s actually a bug.
On the plus side, if you do everything right you get rewarded twice for the kill.
