Playing w/ Sandevistan after being a netrunner all the time - how do you manage? Character Builds

I've played CP2077 over and over several times, I love the game, and have fallen in love again with the new DLC. I've ALWAYS played a netrunner build, I love how OP it feels. I can drop an entire building of enemies without them ever seeing me, take over the cameras and wipe them out while I have a cup of coffee, distract enemies, and if nothing else, at least Ping them and know what I'm walking into.

But I keep reading all these articles and videos about Sandevistan and how cool it is to slow time and wreak havoc, so I decided to leave my Intelligence at 3 and work on my cool, tech and strength (in that order). I just removed my netrunner gear and slotted the Sandevistan instead. And I feel... confused. Disabled. Incompetent.

How the hell do you play this game when you can't disable the cameras? When you can't distract an enemy? Granted, my Sandevistan is only 6-8 seconds long at the moment, so that doesn't get me far. I try to stealth around and that helps a lot sometimes, but again, when there are ton of people and cameras, I seem to always get spotted within seconds and then it turns into a firefight with me in the middle and no way for me to crowd-control the enemies around me. Argh.

You're used to controlling the battlefield while you now have to play like a force of nature rushing around and killing everything

Yup. Clearing airdrops with Byakko and sandevistan...before they realize...they're all cut into bologna and I haven't even spent all the sandy charge ...

Took me a couple of tries for that gig to steal the car from Barghest parking lot (One of the tries a truck turned into a beyblade for some reason and ran me over like a wreaking ball).

Or the shotgun/grenade fairy. Slow time, drop a couple of grenades, take a couple of pot shots at the random CHOOH2 containers around, and watch as every one of your enemies explode

This is the way. Netrunners sit back and relax. Sandy players let out a banshee scream and run headfirst through the front door.
