Cyberpunk 2077 2.0: Cyberware Update Explained

Cyberware gets big update and no longer works the same way

Cyberware has changed for the better in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0. Here's what to expect with the changes and how it works now.

I'm Tez (real name Stu Patrick) an English-Irish dad, gamer, ex-voice actor and full-time content creator! I love gaming and have done since 1985 when I played my first Spectrum game on my uncle's ZX at the age of 7. I love all games but RPGs like Cyberpunk Mass Effect, Dragon Age and The Witcher really are my Jam. I use humour to keep myself entertained, and hopefully you too.

I adore this new update, but beyond hopping on to give the new stuff a test drive I’m saving a full playthrough for Tuesday when Phantom Liberty comes out.

I really like the new update with the new perks, cyberware and weapons. There's a lot of synergy there that you can build your character around to really suit your playstyle.

[Duraltia]

Kinda wish they'd be adding more of the Outfits and Hair Styles of the Edgerunner Characters to the Game - Either as Individual Parts or one of those occasional Presets considering there's already stuff from the show in it like previously David's Vest and Rebecca's Shotgun, and now both of these Characters represented as a Skill ( _Edgerunner_ and _Die! Die! Die!_ ) since unfortunately the MOD to add Ludy's hair to the Game appears to be broken ( well at least the Clothes work )

best thing about the update is now all my builds don't have to have 18 points in tech for legendary crafting. I think most builds will grab 9 points in tech for the renaissance punk perk, but hey that's 9 extra free attribute points more than pre-patch

[AtheC]

Man, I really love your channel, looking forward to whatever you release here!
Thanks for the overview of cyberware update.
I saw a perk that allows you to get get extra cyberware slot and even have to get perk just to use certain cyberware like cellular adapter/built different.
But I think most interesting are driver update and chipware connoisseur, which I'm sure you're already planning on covering in that "tech" video you mentioned.
Thanks for the video choom! Have a great day.

Could you explain why you can’t install cyberware outside the ripperdoc

[denalihanzo]

Thank you so much my 2nd run is alot more thought out glad you posted

[DomPreciso]

At what levels do different tiers unlock now? Was hoping you explained how that system worked😊

[doidorafael]

basically it scales with ur lvl and street cred

[joshrogers]

Such a shame it wasn't released like this. Don't get me wrong I really liked it when it released on pc, but I LOVE what it is now.

[juanpabloflores]

I was hoping they bring back Viktor saying "Have a looook!" when you asked him for new upgrades. It was removed from patch 1.6 onwards, I think.

[RJW]

Technical tree was a must for me, I crafted ALL the things 😂

[marionetteking]

They ruined my sandevistan build which pisses me off. Phantom liberty is going to need to be immaculate in order for me to get over them nerfing us but buffing cops and bosses. There's harder difficulty settings for a reason

[Garrighan]

Choom, Im sorry but my english "listening" is not that good.

Sorry if Im asking something that you already explain on your video, but about the cyberware tiers (like comon, uncomon, rare, epic and legendary)

How it works? I started a new save, and looked for all the rippers and only found the common tier ones. Do I need to improve them for them to move up to epic and legendary tiers or is it linked to some character level or skill perk? Or in fact there will be rippers selling higher tier cyberware ?

Thanks choom!

[AMBBrr]

hey choom! you got any response from cdpr about the twitch program?

[MementoMori_]

Pc gaming is in another level. It’s looks great on my ps5 but the graphics is god like on pc. Oh the update is cool too.

[Peridot]

All my cyberware is stuck at uncommon unless I upgrade it, how do I get them to be legendary at first

[agitatedzone]

having a hard time choosing my character's face ;_ IM TOO CAPRICIOUS

[mateuszrukat]

Is there any way to add modifications to your body cyberware like it was before or now it's just upgrading generations? It's killing me since i started a new game and already have 180+ hours and still can't find out

[bnacronama_na]

I'm max level and still haven't found capacity shards in the 239 missions I've done.
