Cyberpunk 2077 All Quickhacks List

Cyberpunk 2077 (CP77) has 17 Quickhacks you can unlock and equip in your Cyberdeck. This page contains the full list of all unlockable Cyberpunk 2077 Quickhacks. They each come with several rarity-tiers. The rarity tier also changes the effect these Quickhacks have. They are particularly useful for stealth gameplay.

To use Quickhacks you activate the Scanner ( / ) and hover over an enemy or hackable item. Then you press / to exceute the Quickhack.

By default you start with weak Quickhack Mods like “Reboot Optics” and “Short Circuit”. You can only have 2 equipped at the same time. To equip new and different Quickhacks: go to Menu > Scroll over Inventory and click the “Cyberware” Tab below it > Operating System > Mods.

New Quickhacks can be bought from  Netrunners (marked by white microchip icon on map). See Netrunner Vendor Locations. You can also gain access to Quickhack Crafting Blueprints by buying the Perks “Hacker’s Manual” > “School of Hard Hacks” > “Bartmoss’ Legacy” (Intelligence Attribute > Quickhacking Skill Tree).

Below are all Quickhacks V can unlock and equip, in alphabetical order. Do note that there are also some environmental Quickhacks you can’t equip that will depend on the machine you’re targeting (like disabling cameras or distracting targets using certain objects).
