The Iconic Sandevistan Cyberware in Cyberpunk 2077
The Sandevistan Cyberware in Cyberpunk 2077 has become an absolute icon, thanks to its appearance in the tie-in Edgerunners anime. Slowing down time and shredding enemies has never felt better, especially with the recent combat improvements in the game.
If you’re starting a new save and want to fulfill your Neo-Matrix fantasies, don’t worry. Finding a Sandevistan is now easier than ever with the 2.0 update, and you won’t even have to go far from your megabuilding apartment to get one.
Where to Find Sandevistans in Cyberpunk 2077
The best news is that you don’t have to search high and low to obtain a powerful Sandevistan implant. With the 2.0 update, every Ripperdoc in Night City shares the same inventory, although there are a few considerations. This means that you can confront Fingers without worrying about missing out on exclusive and potent Cyberware.
Cyberware is no longer randomly found on the streets like the legendary Mantis Blades. Instead, it is obtained through quest rewards, random loot, or by purchasing it from Ripperdoc clinics.
Given the unreliability of the first two methods, visiting a Ripperdoc clinic will be your best bet for acquiring a Sandevistan, unless you’re incredibly lucky. Every Ripperdoc now stocks identical Cyberware, so the only requirement is reaching a certain Street Cred level.
Ranking up Street Cred for Better Cyberware
You can quickly increase your Street Cred by completing Fixer gigs in Night City. With each level gained, you unlock new tiers of Cyberware. For example, I obtained my first Sandevistan at around level 10.
As you progress and become a legendary figure in Night City, the initial offerings of Cyberware may seem underwhelming. However, they gradually become stronger, culminating in the powerful Militech Apogee at Street Cred 50.
This Sandevistan slows down time by a remarkable 85 percent and mirrors the experimental model featured in the Edgerunners anime. Thankfully, it won’t send you spiraling into cyberpsychosis.
To ensure you’re well-prepared for upcoming challenges like Phantom Liberty, keep doing gigs and saving up your eddies. Being the best mercenary you can be is the key to success.
