How It Works

There is a new type of Operating System called a TechDeck. Operating Systems are like the Cyberdeck, Berserk, etc.

Equipping a TechDeck allows the user to craft a set amount of Drones that will then follow the player around and fight with them until destroyed.

Crafting is done under the 'Drones' tab of the Crafting screen (previously called 'Cyberware Mods'), and recipes are required to craft the Drones, sold at Weapon Vendors.

There's 8 TechDecks at ripperdocs in Rare, Epic, and Legendary qualities. See TechDecks section for locations/info.

Rare TechDecks are available at Technical Ability 6, Epic at 12, and Legendary at 18.

The Drones are crafted with regular crafting components, as well as a new component called a Drone Module, which will appear at vendors, and also as loot on mechanical NPCs.

The Drone recipes are scattered around at Weapon vendors. See Drone Types section for locations/info.

In addition to the variety of TechDecks, each TechDeck will have up to 3 slots to place additional bonuses in, similar to Berserk or Sandevistan. See TechDeck Modules section for locations/info.

TechDecks have several TechHacks on them, which are visible when you scan your Drones. They are like quickhacks, except temporary bonuses/effects you can upload to your Drones. See TechHacks section for info.

Lastly, your Drones are more likely to attack targets you have tagged, as a way of directing them around.

Important Notes and Installation

To install, drag and drop the bin, r6, and archive folders into your Cyberpunk 2077 directory.

To uninstall, remove the Drone Companions folder or file from these 3 locations:

• []bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/mods

  []r6/scripts

• archive/pc/mod

  The Drones are crafted under the 'Drones' tab in the Crafting screen. Cyberware mods have been moved to the attachments and mods category.

  You can only craft 1 Mech at a time, they cannot be healed with Repair, and they will slowly decay health over time.

  If you don't like the Mech nerfs above, there's an option to make them permanent in the Native Settings UI menu, although they still can't be healed with Repair.

  Drones will despawn when they are very far away from the player, but part or all of their cost will be refunded, depending on if it was due to a q
