No best and worst but if I have to choose maelstrom and the scavs

Maelstrom or Voodoo boys for worst. It’s on sight when I see them. Personally I like the tyger claw theme and feel the best. Huge fan of all asian cultures.

Mox, cause only a gang technically
Voodoo boys, call me a dirty rag and flatline me.

Like 6th the most because they at least started with good intentions, basically war veterans trying to protect their neighborhoods from other gangs but eventually became corrupted when their need for funding turned to greed, not too much unlike a lot of IRL gangs
Voodoo boys are the worst namely because they’re trying to Kickstart the fucking cyber apocalypse.

Moxes are the best (started with good intents), Voodoo Boys are the worst (trying to trigger the AI apocalypse). Raffen Shiv or Scavengers would be the second worst.
Maelstrom and VDBs are pretty obvious picks, but I kind of have to go with Tyger claws for worst. They’re also racially exclusionary like the VDBs, but they don’t have the excuse of being a marginalized group. They’re literally bankrolled by Arasaka. That’s the biggest reason tbh, Arasaka are the big bad of the setting and the Tyger Claws are basically a subdivision within the company’s night city department.
Mox are the best. Not really any competition there. They’re more of a militant labor union than a gang.

my preference, from best to worst; – voodoo boys: I really dig the combination of haitian mysticism with high tech, and how their netrunners feel almost like some kind of shamans. top notch vibe. – moxes: girls looking out for each other, hell yeah. – valentinos: I’m spanish so i have a soft spot for the latino gang but they’re a bit generic – maelstrom: l like that they’re visually distinct and very much doing their own thing, exploring the limits of transhumanism. cons: they’re a bit psycho. – animals: the animalistic theme is quirky but there’s not much else going on for me – tyger claws: just seem like future Yakuza, a bit boring – 6th streeet: I’m very averse to nationalism and the military – scavs: organ harvesting is baaad

The Moxes have such an aesthetic, they prob my favorite. 6th street are just hardcore Americans, which I kinda love…

I kill all of them

The Mox are the best, acting more like a union than a gang.
The VDBs are the worst, as they want to start an apocalypse that would kill almost all of humanity.

Scavs are terrible litle rats but valentinos, they have respect and principles, i can respect that

Moxes are the best for me. 6th street are right up there since the take care of vets. Even Placide, as you are walking back to his office from the butcher shop, seems to care for his people. Sure, he tries to kill you later; but if you cross off everyone in NC that does that it would be a fucking ghost town.

Every time this question gets asked I wonder, do the Mox even count as a gang? They don’t really do any crimes AFAIK they are basically just an armed union for sex workers in Night City.

I hate the maelstroms and voodoo boys!
Moxes are the coolest

Imo Moxes are the best. I Say Worst is Voodoo boys (I despise backstabbers)

Personally i think the Moxes are in the running for worst gang just by the sheer leaps in logic that is needed to figure out how they’ve not been overrun by the Tiger claws or picked apart by Maelstrom, they’ve got a level of plot armour that none of the other gangs get

I had fun at the 6th Street BBQ 10/10 would return

Best: Mox
Worst: Technically the Voodoo Boys, since they’re actively engaged in trying to reach AIs from beyond the Blackwall to betray humanity. They display a willingness to hasten the end if they can form an allegiance to preserve themselves.
But then, from another point of view, the world is already ruled by all powerful, amoral corps that make their decisions based on preserving the influence, comfort, and security of a tiny handful of elite people, with no concern for the experience or even survival of normal people – beyond seeing them as a source of labor, consumers, and in some cases, as threats. So maybe some Alt Conningham-like entities wouldn’t even be worse.
Blackwall point aside, the Tyger Claws strike me as pretty awful. They’re so cool looking though.

Best: Mox. I never have to fight Moxes. Worst: Tyger Claws.

Edit: the final ranking, from best to worst:
* Moxes
* 6th Street
* Valentinos / Animals (equally ranked)
* Maelstrom
* Tyger Claws
* Scavengers
* Raffen Shiv
* Voodoo Boys
