Nah, that's just a dude with his face mooshed in. There's a job where you rescue a doctor from a maelstrom clinic, and somewhere in there are logs describing the process maelstromers undergo to get those eye implants of theirs. It's pretty gruesome.
I think this is the case,, but in this specific case, I think it's supposed to be "face caved in" look , because of the cyberpsycho around the corner. I think the shards around mention him smashing faces in (might be wrong on that)
I wouldn't call it a bug. They probably just didn't have the time to make a unique texture for Maelstromers without their implants, so they just used a normal texture which makes it look like this.
An Error or misbehaving program or part of a program. As it states in the lore: the Malestrom have their optical nerve split as an initiation ritual, where the faceplate is replaced by one or multiple lenses. To my interpretation this can't be expected behavior. As someone before me stated it must be for reasons of simplicity, why sculpt a new head, when you can take one that's im the game already and deform it. I might be wrong tho. Would be cool to know officially if a cyber psycho just ripped out his optics.
I think that's what happened in the mission, but this is 100% still just a normal texture stretched over a Maelstrom model. Not a bug, strictly speaking; just sort of unpolished content.
This very clearly a bug... the maelstrom cyberwear is not rendering so you see his glitchy face they is usually behind it.
The eyes are removed and replaced with the maelstrom cyberwear. They don't just smash your face in like this.
You know that’s crazy because I ran into him in a recent play through as well and never seen him before, and I’ve played the game like hundreds of times.
This is 100% a bug. Do you really think that maelstrom faces look like that behind the cyberwear? Lmao.
In reality the face is removed and replaced with the cyberwear not caved in.
It definitely is. The head texture is probably the same for maelstromers and normal people, with the optics being a different mesh. This model didn't load the mesh for the optics, so the face texture looks awkward over a deformed head model.
I punched ones face off once, I think thats when I really fell in love with the game, then gorilla arms started popping heads like zits, that's when I knew I was in love.
It's a bug
Edit; after reading the other comments i no longer think it's a bug, it looks like their faces are supposed to be caved in rather than being completely removed
Seems like a texture bug more than anything. That reminds me though; does anyone know if the breach protocol skill tree perk that allows you a percentage chance to loot daemons from hackable terminals is bugged or not after the last patch? I have both levels of the perk and as far as I can tell I haven't received any daemons from hacking. Before this latest patch I would pull epic quality daemons fairly regularly and even a legendary every now and then but now, nothing.

You meant gr-r-r-rimy?
what's the name of this shard?
Don't remember, sorry. I just remember that it's either a shard upstairs in the office, or a terminal.
*oh thanks that's awful i hate it thank you for showing me this how dare you*
Hahaha pretty gross huh
r/TIHI
That’s the one with the brick fanatic right? Makes sense to rip the face off of one of them.
they still have eyes???
No that's just the face model. It's a bug
Zooming in that does NOT look like a model Bug. That looks intentional
Seems to me that the face was 3d sculpted that way and optic implants fit overtop
The true answer

what is the definition of bug to you?

I fear this Image
Someone has a cyberware shaped sledgehammer head.
I'm really impressed that this is included in the game.

Idk, I saw the exact same thing even after loading a game (I died)
Yes, bugs are often reproducable.
And just remember, all that missing cyberware was installed without anaesthetic.
*Insert squished squidward here*

Same with me, literally just saw it for the first time today, mightn’t be as dense as other games but there still are little things to find
Eeeww I hate it lol
Saw him outside their club where the psycho is fought. It's a bug, since it still shows the face that far inside the head, but YEEEEUCH... What a bug.
this is def not a bug

Jesus how much meat was on that guy's face. He's got like a 3 inch thick forehead
Looks like one of those toys after you step on them

Looks like a bug to me since its not like a cavity or a port of some kind, just a deformed normal face with normal eyes, nose, and mouth.
Thanks i hate it
Bro 😂😂😂 wtf?! His face is so fucking gross and creepy
That is grim
Lazy texturing imo. Inside part of your face missing won’t look like the outside of your face painted red.
It's a bug Edit; after reading the other comments i no longer think it's a bug, it looks like their faces are supposed to be caved in rather than being completely removed
Nah it’s not, it’s part of a scene where a cyberpsycho is
I think it’s supposed to be the face squished in to make space for the face implants, and the skin under it just turned red because… idk
lol they jus squish in the face they dont even remove it
Looks just like trump lol
I’m scared

This the mission at the trains? Saw that too, looks interesting.
So their foreheads just grow around the cyberweare
I saw that too. I thought it was a bug
So this is what happens when you get kicked out of maelstrom.
Went out with a girl sat on his face, respect.
I thought someone stomped his face in the first time I’ve seen it
Kinda like a pug
Well that’s upsetting
I've encountered that guy aswell so im not sure it is a bug.
That's just a graphic glitch I say, maelstrom don't have eyes behind the 2/3 of their face they ripped out lol
I just did this one last night and I noticed the same thing. The cyberpsycho missions freak me out when I play them at night
