There are multiple cyberware mods that will be useful depending on your style of play. Here are some of the team's suggestion on the best cyberware you can use.
Sensory Amplifiers, depending on their effect, can either increase Armor, Health, Crit Chance or Crit Damage. Either way this is one of the most useful mods you can have on your Cyberware.
For those using Gorilla Arms, the Knuckles mod will give Gorilla Arms an added effect. If you are building a Poison-oriented or Burn-oriented approach, then you will need this mod.
Similar to Knuckles, you can a special effect to Monowire including Thermal and Shock which could provide an alternate venue of attack.
This too can add special effects to Mantis Blades. Depending on your build, it could be useful to change the mod depending on your enemy.
The Sandevistan mods increase a variety of effects which will increase the potency of your Sandevistan.
Cyberwares can be combined based on whatever build you are using. But certain mods do have a better effect depending on which mod you combine them with.
| Mods | Best Build To Use With |
|---|---|
| Any damage-type modifier for Monowire, Gorilla Arms, or Mantis Blades + Black Market Battery With the Black Market Battery, the first hit of any of these Arm Cyberwares will most likely be fatal. Plus the damag eeffects of these damage type modifier can be extremely deadly. |
Monowire Build Gorilla Arms Build Mantis Blades Build |
| Sandevistan: Overclocked Processor + any Sandevistan that increases damage/armor With the extension of Sandevistan, this would make you benefit from all the effects of the Cyberware even longer. The addition of the other Sandevistan mods will make it even deadlier. |
Blunt Melee Weapons Build Stealth Build Blades Build Gunslinger Build Assault Rifle Build Smart Weapons Build Tech Weapons Build Cold Blood Build Monowire Build Gorilla Arms Build Mantis Blades Build |
