In Cyberpunk 2077, Hands Cyberware represents a dedicated category of neural and dermal implants that bridge the gap between V’s central nervous system and their arsenal.
Your choice of Hands cyberware fundamentally dictates how your firearms behave in combat.
Installed via a single dedicated slot at any local Ripperdoc, these upgrades scale through distinct rarity tiers. They act as the mechanical link required to unlock the full potential of specific weapon archetypes. For instance, equipping a Smart Link enables auto-targeting micro-projectiles for Smart weapons.
