Cyberpunk 2077 offers various playstyles for players to choose from. Those who prefer to focus on hacking enemies with potent quickhacks should prioritize investing in Intelligence and becoming a Netrunner. Quickhacks are executed using a cyberdeck, and each hack consumes a portion of the player's RAM. The current RAM status is displayed at the top of the heads-up display (HUD) during hacking and gradually replenishes over time.

For players aiming to use the most powerful quickhacks frequently, it is recommended to increase their RAM capacity. This guide will provide an overview of all the available methods to achieve this in Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberdecks

The base RAM of each cyberdeck varies and is represented by the blue number next to the yellow cyberware requirements. Upgrading to better and higher-tier cyberdecks will provide more RAM. As V's street cred levels increase, more cyberdecks become available at Ripperdocs. Additionally, players can enhance their cyberdecks to higher tiers using components.

Ram Upgrade Cyberware

The frontal cortex slot can be enhanced with the installation of a cyberware known as the RAM upgrade. This specific cyberware serves to accelerate the recovery rate of RAM and expand V's maximum RAM capacity. It's important to note that the potential impact of the RAM upgrade is directly influenced by its tier level. Since most frontal cortex cyberware either increases or decreases RAM, it is advisable for Netrunners to prioritize this slot when constructing their character build. Additionally, it is worthwhile to remain vigilant for any cyberware that is Intelligence Attuned, as they have the potential to provide V with even more RAM.

Intelligence

RAM in the Intelligence tree can be enhanced with various perks. Opting for the left path grants the Hack Queue and Queue Acceleration perks, providing an additional +1 RAM. On the other hand, the middle path offers the Overclocked perk, which is ideal for proficient Netrunners. By utilizing this perk, players can persist with hacking even when RAM is depleted, albeit at the cost of sacrificing health for each hack.
