A strange Cyberpunk 2077 cyberware capacity bug is making it difficult to track this new stat. The Update 2.0 patch, alongside the Phantom Liberty DLC expansion, changed cyberware and armor so that V now has a cyberware capacity limit. Typically, this is increased by increasing your level, gaining certain perks like Renaissance Punk and All Things Cyber in the new perk trees, improving the Engineering skill, and finding cyberware capacity shards. However, more than one glitch is affecting this in frustrating ways, with the stat getting stuck and not changing as it should. Here are some solutions you can try to fix the various issues with cyberware capacity bugs in Cyberpunk 2077.
How to fix Cyberpunk 2077 cyberware capacity bug
The following are some cyberware capacity bugs in the game and some solutions you can try to fix them:
- Cyberware Capacity Shard not increasing stat – As noted in this video, sometimes grabbing a shard doesn’t seem to change anything. It should raise the limit by 4, but it doesn’t change anything. You can try restarting the game from before you collected the shard.
- Arms slot not counting when visiting ripperdoc – There is an issue with the arms cyberware slot not applying as it should. For instance, if you use gorilla arms and then stow them, sometimes the 8 cyberware it takes doesn’t seem to apply. This can be one reason why visiting a ripperdoc can see your cyberware capacity change strangely, as seen in this thread on Reddit.
In both of these instance, we hope that CD Projekt Red is able to patch these bugs quickly. The main issue with them is that this can make you unable to equip a piece of cyberware that you had before. We recommend reporting these bugs to the developer’s support page so that they are aware of the problems.
