Cyberpunk 2077’s Sandevistan Cyberware may not have garnered much attention prior to its feature in the Edgerunners anime. However, the ability to decelerate time to a near standstill and dismember your foes became iconic due to the anime, especially with the recent combat enhancements in the game.
If you’re beginning a new game, you may be eager to acquire your personal Sandevistan and emulate the adrenaline-filled action scenes from Matrix . Thankfully, the acquisition of a Sandevistan has been facilitated with the arrival of the 2.0 update, and you don’t even need to venture too far from your high-rise safehouse.
Locating Sandevistans in Cyberpunk 2077
Fortunately, obtaining a robust Sandevistan implant won’t require a wild goose chase. In the aftermath of the 2.0 update, every Ripperdoc in Night City shares a common inventory, although a few exceptions apply. This means you can give Fingers the thrashing he merits without having to forfeit the enviable, potent Cyberware he previously possessed.
Stumbling upon rare Cyberware like the legendary Mantis Blades on the street corners is a thing of yesteryears. Today, Cyberware is handed out as quest rewards, random loot, or purchases from Ripperdoc clinics.
When it comes to obtaining the Sandevistan you covet, the most reliable method unless you enjoy divine favor would be patronizing a Ripperdoc clinic. As stated previously, the inventory of all Ripperdoc clinics is identical, meaning the key obstacle between you and the high-end chrome is your Street Cred level.
By taking on an abundance of Fixer gigs around town, you can rapidly boost your rank. It appears like new tiers of Cyberware are unlocked every few levels, as the first Sandevistan was sighted around level 10.
As expected in an equipment-based RPG, starter kit is feeble but it exponentially increases in strength as you cement your reputation in Night City, peaking at the mighty Militech Apogee upon reaching Street Cred 50.
The experimental model of this Sandevistan, capable of reducing time by an incredible 85 percent, formed the basis for the Edgerunners plot. But luckily, you needn’t worry about succumbing to cyberpsychosis in this version.
Ultimately, the best strategy to equip yourself with the superior Sandevistan is through persistence with your gigs and prudent saving of your earnings. Nothing could be better preparation for the arrival of Phantom Liberty than stepping into the role of the finest mercenary you possibly can.
