I'm so confused on how you get higher grade cyberware now

I went from white to green to blue, but i'm at 50 cred now and it still hasn't gone up, been to most ripperdocs and I still can't find any purple or gold, is it level based, or story based?

It's level based.. you get the next color when you reach a certain level. They really messed up the looting system.. it was awesome going all over the place and finding random containers of who knows what and figuring out what to do with it all. Now it feels empty.

Edit: It's level based now because they added level-scaling to the game overall.

You can also just upgrade it with crafting mats. You don't need to wait for them to sell a purple, you just upgrade the blue version to purple and then gold.

by level 40 you unlock everything.

The Cyberwear parts you buy & then you Upgrade with Materials , as for the Chips you put for Ping & Shock & so forth that you slot into the stick, you get them as you go ( when doing main quest progress & looting stuff in those areas ), you will get a notification of sorts that say something about unlocking....
