In Cyberpunk 2077, Ripperdocs are essential vendors found throughout Night City and Dogtown where you can purchase, install, upgrade, and modify cyberware. As of Patch 2.0, all Ripperdocs share a common inventory of cyberware, which scales with V’s Level and Street Cred, meaning you can find the same core cyberware options at any Ripperdoc once you meet the requirements.
Ripperdoc Locations by District
Night City is home to numerous Ripperdocs, each situated in various districts, with additional specialists available in Dogtown via the Phantom Liberty expansion. Knowing their locations is key for quick cyberware adjustments or upgrades.
| District | Subdistrict | Ripperdoc Name |
|---|---|---|
| Watson | Little China | Viktor Vektor’s Clinic |
| Watson | Kabuki | Charles Bucks’ Clinic |
| Watson | Kabuki | Dr. Chrome’s Clinic (Robert Rainwater) |
| Watson | Northside | Cassius Ryder’s Clinic |
| Watson | Kabuki | Instant Implants |
| Westbrook | Charter Hill | Kraviz’s Clinic |
| Westbrook | Japantown | Fingers MD (Finn Gerstatt) |
| Westbrook | Japantown | Ripperdoc (Japantown) |
| City Center | Downtown | Ripperdoc (Downtown) |
| Heywood | Wellsprings | Ripperdoc (Wellsprings) |
| Santo Domingo | Rancho Colorado | Octavio’s Clinic |

| Dogtown | Black Market | Eron |
| Dogtown | Unspecified | Anthony |
| Dogtown | Unspecified | Farida |
| Dogtown | Unspecified | Costin |
The Badlands Ripperdoc’s location can shift; initially, they are found within the Aldecado camp. After certain progression in Panam’s questline, this Ripperdoc relocates to the City Night outskirts in the Badlands. The Ripperdocs in Dogtown, such as Eron, Anthony, Farida, and Costin, are exclusively accessible if you own the Phantom Liberty DLC. Eron, specifically, is located in the Black Market area of Dogtown.
Notable Ripperdocs and Discounts
While all Ripperdocs offer similar cyberware inventories as of Patch 2.0, a few stand out due to unique interactions or the possibility of acquiring permanent discounts on their services. These special relationships can make upgrading your V more cost-effective over time.
| Ripperdoc | Location | Special Condition/Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Charles Bucks | Kabuki, Watson | Offers permanent discount for overlooking events in Gig: Last Login |
| Fingers MD | Japantown, Westbrook | Can be locked out of services if punched during The Space Between quest |
Charles Bucks is the only Ripperdoc confirmed to offer a permanent discount. To secure this, you must choose to turn a blind eye to the events that unfold during the Gig: Last Login. This choice provides a lasting benefit to your cyberware costs. Conversely, interacting with Fingers MD requires caution. If you opt to punch him during The Space Between quest, he will refuse to provide any further services, permanently locking you out of his clinic. This decision should be weighed carefully, especially if you rely on specific cyberware he might stock or if you wish to maintain access to all Ripperdoc options.
Cyberware Offerings
Ripperdocs are the sole providers for all cyberware installations and upgrades in Cyberpunk 2077. This includes modifications for various body systems, enhancing combat capabilities, utility, and overall character performance.
As of Patch 2.0, the inventory of cyberware available at any Ripperdoc is universal and directly tied to V’s current Character Level and Street Cred. This means that once you meet the level and street cred requirements for a particular piece of cyberware, it will be available for purchase and installation at any Ripperdoc clinic you visit, regardless of their location in Night City or Dogtown. This change streamlines the process of acquiring desired implants, removing the need to search for specific Ripperdocs stocking unique items. The types of cyberware available cover:
- Frontal Cortex: Enhancements for quickhacks, critical chance, and other neural functions.
- Ocular System: Kiroshi optical implants offering various vision modes and targeting aids.
- Circulatory System: Mods for health regeneration, stamina, and overall physiological efficiency.
- Immune System: Implants that boost resistance to damage and status effects.
- Nervous System: Enhancements for reflexes, movement speed, and time dilation abilities.
- Integumentary System: Subdermal armor and other defensive skin modifications.
- Operating System: Cyberdecks for netrunners, Sandevistans for time manipulation, and Berserks for melee combat boosts.
- Skeleton: Bone enhancements for carrying capacity, melee damage, and fall damage reduction.
- Hands: Ballistic coprocessors and other hand augmentations for weapon handling.
- Arms: Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Projectile Launch System, and Monowire for offensive capabilities.
- Legs: Double Jump and Charged Jump for enhanced mobility.
The quality and tier of cyberware also scale with your progression, with higher-tier items becoming available as you level up. This system encourages exploration and completion of activities to increase both your level and Street Cred, thereby unlocking more powerful augmentations for V.
