Cyberpunk 2077: 5 Quickhacks To Get Immediately (And 5 That Aren't Worth It)

Quickhacks➿

💬🔗

• Quickhacks in Cyberpunk 2077 are abilities you use with a cyberdeck to remotely hack enemies and devices.
  
  
• You deal damage (like Short Circuit, Overheat), disable them (Cripple Movement, Reboot Optics), or manipulate situations (Ping, Request Backup), all by scanning targets and spending RAM from your cyberdeck's pool
  
  
• They fall into categories like Combat, Control, Covert, Device, and Ultimate, offering powerful stealth and combat advantages for a Netrunner build.

How Quickhacks Work:

• Cyberdeck: You need a cyberdeck installed (get one from a Ripperdoc) to use quickhacks.
  
  
• Installation: Equip quickhacks to your cyberdeck's available slots in the inventory.
  
  
• Activation: Activate your scanner (Tab/L1/LB), find a target, and select the hack from the hacking tab.
  
  
• Cost: Each hack costs RAM (Cyberdeck's energy) and has an upload time and potentially a cooldown.

• Inform yourself ahead of time so you know when a quickhack should be installed and when it should be sold to Viktor for eddies.

Quickhacks you definitely want to have.
