In [[2022]], Adam Smasher was fully employed by Arasaka to fight in the [[Fourth Corporate War]]. He was more than happy to do this because he knew Blackhand had been hired by [[Militech]], Arasaka's rival in the war.<ref name="2020FS2" /> During the conflict, Smasher specialized — and took joy — in leading strike forces to slaughter communities full of not only Militech enemies but their families as well. One notorious attack took place in [[Connecticut]] during September 17th 2022.<ref name="CEMKHB" /> | In [[2022]], Adam Smasher was fully employed by Arasaka to fight in the [[Fourth Corporate War]].

On August | On August 20th of [[2023]], Smasher was present at the [[Arasaka Towers]]. During the Militech assault, CEO [[Kei Arasaka]] ordered for Smasher and two squads to deal with the force that had infiltrated the [[Soulkiller]] lab at the 120th floor. An eager Adam and his team ambushed the Militech force led by [[Johnny Silverhand]], pinning them down in a section of the laboratories. Silverhand tried to distract him in order to help the team escape, shouting and firing at the borg with his [[Malorian Arms 3516]], though this proved futile and got cut in half by Smasher in the process. This, however, gave [[Shaitan]] an opportunity to hold Smasher back while the rest of the team escaped. | ||
Supplied him with everything he could ever want, Smasher later reappeared at the top of the towers equipped in an [[Arasaka DaiOni]] power armor that turned him into a nearly unstoppable machine. In his hand was Shaitan's biopod head, still alive. Adam waved at Morgan Blackhand, showing off Shaitan's head. This took the solo by surprise, who stepped down from one of the AVs to confront the borg. Adam provoked Blackhand by mentioning that Silverhand was dead, and Shaitan would soon be as well unless Morgan recovered the biopod from Smasher's hands. An angry Blackhand ordered his people to evacuate without him, and once the AV had lifted off, he turned to the borg with a remark about testing Smasher's "meat vs. metal" philosophy for itself shortly before the two launched themselves at each other in a last desperate attempt to kill the other. The outcome of the duel was never known, and soon after the building began to shake from the detonation of a nuclear device, causing the [[Night City Holocaust]].<ref name="2020FS2" /><ref name="CPRED">{{RefCP|RED|121-124,441}}</ref> | Supplied him with everything he could ever want, Smasher later reappeared at the top of the towers equipped in an [[Arasaka DaiOni]] power armor that turned him into a nearly unstoppable machine.

When David arrived at [[Arasaka Tower]] in Night City, Smasher emerged to save Douglas's life and engaged David. The two solos had a brief exchange of insults before David got distracted by [[Faraday]] — whom he had incapacitated moments ago — being taken away by [[Trauma Team]].

The two solos had a brief exchange of insults before David got distracted by [[Faraday]] — whom he had incapacitated moments ago — being taken away by [[Trauma Team]]. Smasher would take this opportunity to shoot David in the gut, resulting in him briefly going [[cyberpsycho]] and activating his [[David's Experimental Sandevistan|Sandevistan]]. Smasher responded by doing the same, and fired a missile that directly hit the back of David's exo-skeleton with enough force to eject the latter, [[Lucyna Kushinada|Lucy]], and Faraday (still strapped to Trauma Team's stretcher) out of Arasaka Tower, the latter of whom fell to his death. | ||
David briefly managed to escape with Lucy, only for Smasher to follow, crushing [[Rebecca]] to death in the process. Now in inside [[Memorial Park]], [[Falco]] attempted to slow Smasher down but was simply swatted away. David, on the verge of total cyberpsychosis, activated his Sandevistan again, but was shocked to see Smasher being able to keep up with him, with the latter scoffing that it was a "rudimentary implant." Lucy tried to [[Quickhacking|quickhack]] Smasher, but this had little effect other than annoying him briefly before her [[cyberdeck]] fried. Smasher became briefly distracted trying to kill an escaping Lucy and Falco, which David used as an opportunity to immobilize the cyborg. An amused Smasher responded by ripping off the anti-grav devices from the exo-skeleton, causing it to crumble under its own weight, and proceeded to beat a now crippled David. After ripping the exo-skeleton apart completely, Smasher stood over a limbless David, commenting that he "had some fun, after all;" and mentioned David could have become "an interesting [[Engram|construct]]." David didn't care whatsoever about his words, then Smasher executed him with a shot to the skull at point-blank range.<ref name="EDGE10" /> | David briefly managed to escape with Lucy, only for Smasher to follow, crushing [[Rebecca]] to death in the process.
