There are many types of neural implants to choose from in Cyberpunk 2077, but the most difficult of them all is definitely the operating system (OS). Indeed, you have the choice between 3 major categories of implants , mutually exclusive , since they occupy the same location. Each of these operating systems corresponds to a way of playing, since they also have important attribute requirements. There's Berserk implants for big, constitution-loving bullies, Cyberdecks for Netrunners, and of course, Sandevistan-type implants for nimble characters with super reflexes. They increase damage and slow down time, which is very appealing if you don't feel like playing hacker. As said above, it is also the implant used in Edgerunners.
General information on Sandevistan
Sandevistan implants have varied characteristics, but they always have 3 attributes in common:
- A prerequisite of Reflexes (6 to 20)
- An activated effect that slows time for a period, the power and duration being variable, as is the cooldown.
- A damage or crit bonus during the slowing effect.
List and position of Sandevistan implants
There are 10 models of Sandevistan, and 8 modifications to be made to them, in order to reinforce certain varied effects. There's no point in immediately picking up a Legendary Sandevistan, since its Reflexes requirements will be far too high to use it before long. It is better to use a basic model, or even an intermediate one, then gradually increase in power.
You can find Sandevistan implants only at Charcudocs, often you will need money and a fairly high reputation.
