You can use them to enhance your performance in various ways, to arm and protect yourself or to simply look cool.

Cyberware types

In Cyberpunk 2077, there are three basic categories of cyberware in terms of gameplay: Active, Triggered, and Passive.

• Active - This type of cyberware players can use in a similar manner as weapons and other usable equipment, by taking an appropriate action in order to activate the cyberware, like launching rockets from your hands or bringing out a Mantis Blade.
  
  
• Triggered - This type of cyberware activates itself automatically when conditions for its activations are met.
  
  
• Passive - This type of cyberware starts working immediately after installation and it is constantly working in the background, by providing passive benefits or functions.

Cyberware rarities

Just like other items in the game, cyberware can be common, unusual, rare, epic, and legendary.
