Where To Get All Iconic Cyberware In Phantom Liberty
Just like regular cyberware, most of the iconic cyberware isobtainable from ripperdocs. Specifically, the ripperdocs found inPhantom Liberty’s Dogtown. These ripperdocs are:
Anthony Andersonis only available if you save him during the “Dogtown Saints” gig.Fardia Nazerionly becomes available after the “Birds with Broken Wings” main job.
Most iconic cyberware hasextremely high cyberware capacity requirements. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to install more than two or three of these pieces without making extreme sacrifices or having unfilled slots.
Most iconic cyberware is alsoprohibitively expensive. However, many areavailable for freelooting Dogtown’s Airdrops. These drops are random, so make sure to investigate each one you come across for a chance to make mad eddies in the form of free iconic cyberware.
Some iconic cyberware is awarded after completing certain gigs or jobs.Iconic cyberware available for free is noted in the tables below.
