Implants are cybernetic hardware that can be installed in your body. Most implants give a static bonus to 1 or 2 Traits, plus a card in the Deck/Life/Survival that gives the choice of raising a skill, boosting some stats, or some other benefit. The skill increases only apply the skills that are below the average of the three skills, so usually only 1 or 2 at a time.

A character with all the known implants installed would probably have Charisma +4, Cunning +2, Discipline +1, Perception +2, Reflexes +7, Resilience +1, Stamina +7, and Strength +7. They might also get crippling levels of Black shakes at the drop of a hat.

At the Start of the Game

• Your Character starts with one implant from a list of choices.
• You may have the option to pay Credits for a second implant from the same list. This purchase persists between lives.
• Additionally, you can acquire a Neural Interface for credits, allowing you to start with up to three implants. This purchase does NOT carry over between lives.

Installation Locations

• The Backstreet Clinic: Readily available in the Cinci Slums, it offers the widest selection of implants with low-risk installations.
• The One-time Clinic: Cheaper and quicker, but installations are riskier. They offer some unique implants but must be found first.
• The Cyberchurch: Offers three unique and somewhat pricey implants with low-risk installations.

Note: Information on implants is gained in-play, and data may not be completely correct for every individual game.
