Cyberware

Cyberware

Cyberware are the cybernetic implants that mercenaries can be equipped with. Some character Classes start with Cyberware installed; for example, the Vanguard has a Chameleon Sheathe. Adding new implants requires money, surgery, and recovery downtime for the merc, making them ineligible for any Missions or Legwork for some time.

Cyberware can provide passive benefits akin to Traits like increased Character Attributes, Accuracy, and Movement Speed. They can provide a Class, such as the Vanguard's Chameleon Sheathe. They can also provide discrete passive and active effects such as the Trache-Lifeflow that automatically heals a merc after they take Damage.

Cyberware Slots

There are 10 cyberware slots: Ocular, Arms, Skin, Skeletal, Deep Brain, Fast Brain, Spinal, Heart, Lungs, and Legs. Each slot has specific set of Cyberware that can only be implanted in that slot. Only one piece of Cyberware can be implanted into any one slot. As a result, some pairs of Cyberware are mutually exclusive. When both implants are required for a Class, a multiclass of those two Classes is prohibited. Most notably, the Agent EX and Scourge both require implants in the Fast brain slot, making it impossible to multiclass into Scourge/Agent EX.

Cyberware Services

Here is a list of Cyberware Types.

There are currently three services for Cyberware: Cybernetic service, Imported Cybernetics, and Street Cybernetics, each offering a unique selection of Cyberware. Different Contacts may offer one service or more than one of these services. Each service can be improved using normal Contact development such as Influence Limit Breaks.

Implanting Cyberware is a medical procedure. Like other medical services, Cyberware vendors can only handle so many surgeries at a time. The same medical pod is used for medical treatment and cybersurgury. A merc must wait until a doctor's medical pod is free before that doctor can implant a new Cyberware.
