Cyberware capacity?

[Mister Sir]

I am having somewhat a hard time figuring out on how do I raise it. I am at level 47, got tons of perks and stats and all that and with both tech perks taken, my capacity is at 273. I have not gotten any capacity shards forever now and seeing how last level raised my capacity by 3... it makes me doubt that I will get that much by the time I get to level 60, mean while I still got about 33% of capacity bar unusable.

So what gives? Is there something in dog town that raises it? Any perma things you can buy outside of that op system compressor? Which I am not gonna get by the way, be real dumb to give up cyberdeck or sandy for that.

If you gonna get capped out at 300 or something like that, wtf is the point of having all that extra bar just sitting there unattainable, taunting you?

you cant max it out but you can get closer to 400 if you use every possible means of boosting your capacity, including the perks, the OS cyberware that boosts capacity, and fully leveling up your character. as for the hard cap i dont remember what it was but the game stops giving shards at some point, and maxing out the entire bar is impossible without mods.

This is rather lame actually. Why shards stop dropping so early on in the game? Let me repeat it, I got all perks for capacity, get no more shards ever, and got 13 more levels to go. Each level seem to give like what? 3 extra capacity? Mean while I am sitting at 273, so 3 times 13 is 39 + 273 = 311, this aint no where close to 400, which seem to be the full cap?

Question still stands, wtf is the point having cap 400 if it's legit impossible to reach?

sounds like bad RNG. Just picked up a cyberwear capacity shard last night at level 58. So it is possible.

I hear there some bug that prevents them from dropping or something. I legit have not got any in like past 20+ hours.

Base Cyberware Capacity Level*3=21. The engineering skill can give +15 as you level it. You can get up to +70 from Renaissance Punk and Edgerunner from tech perks, depending on your stats.

Cyberware Capacity Shards are random drops, but they're also in the controlled loot table, meaning there's a fixed amount of each you can loot. In the base game, you can loot up to 7 green shards, 4 blue shards, 4 purple shards, and 2 orange shards. Owning Phantom Liberty doubles the amount of blue and green shards you can get, for a maximum possible bonus of +80 cyberware capacity from shards. Shards have a .05 base drop chance, which increases by .01 each time you don't get a shard, up to a maximum of 1. They cannot drop from containers, bosses, or Maxtac. There's also a limit of shards you can collect per level 1 green, .5 blue, .5 purple, and .333 orange per level, having Phantom Liberty again double the green and blue limits. Unused drops per level are rolled over to the next level. Capacity per shard is 2 for green, 3 for blue, 4 for purple, and 6 for orange.

Edit: After testing more with mod tools, that .05 drop chance above is not 5%, but .05%. So the damn things aren't bugged, just disgustingly rare since the max drop chance is 1%.

Ok see the issue here is that I got white and green shards quite often at the start of the game and then nothing for past 30+ hours.

Well, I finally found one - purple - after hunting down mobs in Pacifica, but after checking if Cyberware was increased.... it was not. Looks like in base game the cap is around 250. With Edgerunner it is around 300

this thread explains how the drops work and the limits of each shard

https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/183ot2s/unmodded_max_cyberware_capacity/

if an enemy drops a shard and you dont pick it up then it still counts towards that max count, so if you somehow miss any shard you lose potential upgrades permanently

[Mister Sir]

Well after some more effort of trying to get some shards I said fk it and broke my usual rule, which is no mods for first play through. Basically got the console command mod and gave my char a few shards, not max or anything, just something to make me feel a bit less ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about 30+ hours of no shards. I still got 100 cwc unusable, and I will run with that for a while in dog town, and if it continues with this bs of no shards, I will just give me some through console command again. Bs problems require bs solutions.

Due to the way loot works in this game, even modding the drop rate of shards to 100% you can do half a dozen NCPD scanners not find a single shard. Also, white shards don't exist.

You can at least get 405 in Cyberware with Phantom Liberty. That is the most I have been able to get. That means not using a Sandevistan or a netrunner board, but using that Chrome Compressor with edgerunner and Renaissance Punk.

That is such a scumbag used car salesman answer.

"Excuse me! Legally speaking you CAN get that much from our great deals! Not our fault you didn't read the fine print of no seatbelts or airbags allowed."

Chrome compressor seems to exist to make the size of the cyber limit bar look more impressive than what you can honestly get out of it, even if you were fortunate enough to never miss any shard drops on a natural level 60 full plots run.

"Yeah sure just skip the most interesting part of your cybernetics, uh... kids these days still fall for calling garbage "Trade offs" right ?"

I don't think i've ever gotten above 230'ish at max level and endgame.

[Lorem Ipsum]

I'm at level 53 in this playthrough (very hard) and at 272. Have not entered phantom liberty yet. At least level 9 in all skills so I get 4 extra for each since I have that perk enabled. Without going to PL I should be able to get up to 290.

Last half of a playthrough I capped out at 288 in phantom liberty - I could not get any more after days of playing and I couldn't get the trash / dumpster glitch to work for CWC shards.

Calling someone a scumbag for explaining how to get 400 cyberware cap is pretty.... scumbag. I made an entire build using that OS and then I saw another build someone made using it. It's an option in the game for a reason. But go off.
