Items That Grant One Bonus Perk Point

Perk Shards are a type of progression item that is confirmed to still exist as of Update 2.0. When found and used, they immediately grant 1 Perk Point to the player, allowing V to gain a new Perk from any of the overhauled, 2.0 Attribute Perk Trees.

Perk Shard Glitches No Longer Work

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty - Learning Glitch for Perk Shards

Previously, there was a glitch allowing you to get 2 Perk Points from Perk Shards when you chose to Learn instead of Take the shard from its source. This glitch no longer works as of Patch 2.0.

Where to Find Perk Shards?

Often Found During Gigs and NCPD Scanner Hustles

Most Perk Shards are found while completing Gigs and NCPD Scanner Hustles. They are usually found on bodies or boxes highlighted with an exclamation point during these missions.

Can be Purchased from the Junk Shop in Dogtown

Owners of the Phantom Liberty DLC will be able to purchase a Perk Shard from the Junk Shop vendor once they reach the EBM Petrochem Stadium inside Dogtown. Do note that this is a one-time purchase since the merchant's inventory will no longer refresh after you purchase the Perk Shard.
