In the bustling metropolis of Night City in Cyberpunk 2077, one’s survival depends on adapting to the ever-evolving technological landscape. Cyberware, the fusion of man and machine, is the key to staying ahead in this dystopian future.
The Sandevistan is an operating system that is implanted on peopleโs bodies. In the Netflix animated series, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, it is depicted as a spinal-implant. When activated, it elevates the characterโs senses to a level of precision that defies reality, slowing down time and granting you a tactical edge against the chaos of Night City’s streets. Although obtaining these powerful implants isn’t a straightforward process.
All Sandevistans in the Game
