- Cyberlimbs: These prosthetics can replicate or even surpass the functionality of biological limbs. They come in basic models as well as upgraded options that offer enhanced strength and agility.
- Dermal Plating: This cyberware implants armor directly into the user’s skin, helping to protect the wearer from physical attacks. Variations of dermal plating can offer differing levels of protection.
- Wired Reflexes: Wired Reflexes use neuro-enhancements to speed up the user’s reaction times, allowing them to act faster in combat situations.
- Datajacks: These neurological implants allow users to directly interface with computers and other electronic devices.
- Cybereyes & Cyberears: These sensory enhancements can allow for improved sight and hearing or even provide the user with sensory capabilities beyond human norms, such as low-light or thermal vision and high-frequency hearing.
- Control Rigs: Primarily utilized by Riggers, these devices create a cybernetic interface between the user and machines, particularly drones and vehicles.
- Smartgun Systems: A Smartgun system links a firearm to the user’s own senses via a datajack or similar device, improving accuracy.
- Skillwires: This is a system that allows users to download and use skills they don’t necessarily have trained, by hardwiring the knowledge into the brain.
- Muscle Replacement: Cybernetic enhancements that replace or augment natural muscle tissue to improve strength and physical prowess.
- Bone Lacing: Reinforcing the skeleton with Kevlar, plastic, or metal can greatly increase durability and contribute to hand-to-hand combat effectiveness.
- Bioware: While strictly not cyberware, Bioware encompasses a range of organ replacements and biotechnological enhancements that can complement or offer alternatives to more traditional mechanical cyberware.
- Boosted Reflexes: Similar to wired reflexes, these offer increased speed and responsiveness, but through bio-engineered means.
- Synaptic Accelerator: It speeds up the neural processes to allow quicker reactions, functioning similarly to boosted reflexes or wired reflexes but with different side effects and installation needs.
- Cyberspurs & Cyberfins: Extensions of cyberlimbs, these concealed blades can be extended or retracted at will, offering a potent surprise in melee combat.
