Where are the cyberware capacity shards?

[Youraye]

I'm LV 60, max LV on tech/engineering skills as well and my cyberware capacity max at 309. All i'm getting is weight increase shards from the drop in dogtown

There's definitely something strange about the RNG drop rate from the supply crates in dog town. I must have opened >50 of those boxes and have found a total of ONE cyberware capacity shard. Dozens of carry weight shards but one cyberware capacity shard. Even if it's RNG that percentage is incredibly improbable.

I don't find them in boxes. At all...

Every time I kill a mob of half a dozen or more gangers, I'll find at least 2 when searching the bodies though...

If I felt that I needed to spend 20 hours to grind shards to max my capacity I would do a cost benefit analysis on how my time is best spent and install a trainer. Life is too short for contentless grind like that.

I've gotten quite a few cyberware capacity drops from Voodoo Boys in Pacifica. There's a nice little triangle loop that I run from Westend Apartments fast travel point toward Pacifica clothing vendor then toward the stadium that has several trios that respawn.

Thanks dude, already collected 4 or 5 shards in this place and surrounding areas, now I have a 330 cyberware capacity.

Got over 90 hours. with at least 2 of constant mob farming, and not a single drop yet. Nada. 300 capacity every since hitting the max.

screenshot was from yesterdays farming before i went back to the ripper. nearly maxed.
they do drop!

you can get 5ish guaranteed from the hidden cyberpsychos around dogtown.
the rest is random from the supply drops and just killing random guys anywhere in the world.

i think it would be perfectly fine if they stopped the drops for things you've already maxed and took them off the drop tables once maxed (passive perks) increasing the ones you haven't yet (cyberware)
so you aren't getting useless drops for shinobi exp when you've already maxed shinobi exp like 50 hours ago.

having the same issue as everryone else,
cyberware cap shards are not dropping after 1 week of play
( pis#ed off since i took holidays just to play PL )
i cant upgrade my capacity or upgrade my cyberware,
stuck at 335 cap,
some cyberware percentages actually drop when upgrading to 5+ or 5++,
and my cyberware capacity fluctuates with different loads of the same file.
get hundreds of money and skill shards, but not a single cyberware cap shard.

is there a ETA on a fix for this ?

if you're at 335 that means they have been dropping?

bwaahhh i can do so much more with 379 cyberware cap i'm jealous, the hidden cyberpsychos doesnt drop the shards for me unfortunately, maybe it have to do with some kind of level maxed out or something

Anyone know of a mod that adds a shop to buy cyberware shards from? You could just cheat through the console, but I think it'd make a nice additional money sink into the game.

I think there is still a bug on the drops. I decided to disable my perks (Edge Runner and Renaissance) and my current capacity total is 260 and tried farming a high level unit and it never drops any shards. If there is a "cap" then I don't know where it should be seen and if I can't even reach 300 naturally without perks then there is a problem with the game dropping them altogether.

A potential test would be someone modifying the drop rate of the cyberware shards to make them guaranteed drops to check if it even drops because so far the loot table does not appear to drop them.

Currently at max on level/street creds/skills but so far I have not gotten any drops of capacity shard from any supply drops, el capitan car quest, or even on random mooks on the streets. Ideally I want to reach over 400 without the help of perks so I can actually equip a few of the iconic cyberware but at the rate (which is nowhere) I will probably wait till the next patch to see if it is even fixed.

P.S. Skill shards still drop even after maxing all my skills from every category so yes I really believe it is a bug because all the supply drops and car quest still reward you with the those shards and for some reason the supply drops always guarantees a capacity shard even though that is the least important thing in the game unless you hoard your stuff or carry a lot of iconics.

completely random it seems. I have gotten a few of them on random drops and containers doing missions.

stuck at 321 here. Get all the shards but these one. Only other thought was maybe they stopped dropping when i maxed Net runner, i feel like i stopped seeing cyberware capacity shards around the same time.

CDPR really need to explain this if they soft cap the drop rate at some point.

Don't want to use glitch or bug for it.
I don't mind if the game don't want you get too much shard but I need to know it.

[MaverickHL]

They should just put a hard cap on the cyberware capacity. Similar to the job skills in the game if you reach that cap of 60, no matter how many shards drop it wont go past that said cap. They should also fix the cyberware UI to show the capacity bar at max, with the last 50 points being reserved for Edgerunner.

As it stands due to glitches and being no cap at the moment, the issues arises where you can get a very high capacity and never engage the Edgerunner perk potentially. If there is a "soft" cap then it should also be noted in the release notes.

For now I see it as a bug since at max level you don't get any drops or it is extremely rare (8 hours farming zero drops). Either set a hard cap which excludes the Ren Punk perk so that it at least free a perk point for something else or if it "unlimited" make sure the Ui reflects that growing capacity and make sure the Edgerunner perk is still usable.

Apparently picking up iconic cyberware can cause them to stop appearing.

Has anybody tested if resetting attributes has an effect on cyberware capacity shard drop rates?
