Cyberware
- History
- Discussion
Cyberware is the system that allows your character to equip upgrades to various areas of their body through the use of Mods, greatly enhancing their capabilities and adding additional gameplay-altering features.
The Cyberware you choose to use will greatly depend on the style of build, as certain slots have clear recommendations depending on whether you are a melee-based, ranged-based, or quickhack-based build. In order to get Cyberware installed, you will need to head to a Ripperdoc, where you can both purchase new Cyberware, equip it, and change to old Cyberware you already own.
You can upgrade the following body parts at a Ripperdoc, with the number of possible slotted Cyberware in each part.
- Frontal Cortex: 3
- Ocular System: 1
- Circulatory System: 3
- Immune System: 2
- Nervous System: 2
- Integumentary System: 2
- Operating System: 1
- Skeleton: 2
- Hands: 1
- Arms: 1
- Legs: 1

There is currently no legendary upgrade available for the Ocular System, with the highest possible being the Kiroshi Optics Mk. 3, which players obtain from Viktor in Watson.
The only benefit to it is mod slots, as well as it "enhancing your vision".
Circulatory System
The Circulatory System has a number of extremely useful upgrades for players that are using a more melee-focused build, with 3 possible slots that can be filled. The upgrades here are still useful for ranged/quickhack-focused builds, but the upgrade focus is definitely tailored towards Stamina and Health regenaration.
