With the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion and 2.0 update, Cyberpunk 2077 has introduced numerous enhancements to existing weapons. Players who haven't visited Night City in a while may consider starting a fresh character, since the perks have undergone a complete overhaul.
One particular cyberware, the Monowire, was previously underutilized in the base game. However, Phantom Liberty has addressed this by incorporating new features that make it an ideal choice for those who aspire to be skilled Netrunners or wish to emulate Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. V now has the ability to apply quickhacks to the Monowire. This guide will provide a detailed explanation of which quickhacks can be equipped to the Monowire and how to utilize them effectively in Cyberpunk 2077.
Unlock the Jailbreak Perk
Players need to acquire the Jailbreak perk in order to equip quickhacks to the Monowire. This perk is part of the newly introduced Relic skill tree in the Phantom Liberty expansion. To begin the expansion, players must meet Songbird who will provide them with three Relic points to allocate. Additional Relic points can be discovered scattered throughout the Dogtown district. Furthermore, the Jailbreak perk enhances the abilities of each arm Cyberware.
Install Quickhacks on the Monowire
After unlocking the Jailbreak perk, access the Cyberware screen in the menu. Hover the cursor over the arm slot where the Monowire cyberware is located. You will notice a new option to open the quickhack menu, similar to Cyberdecks. To open this quickhack menu, simply click the Right Stick.
By selecting this option, players will be directed to a screen where they can equip the quickhacks that are currently available. It is crucial to note that more advanced quickhacks cannot be utilized with lower-tier Monowires. Therefore, it is essential to regularly upgrade gear as V's street cred increases. Additionally, the Monowire exclusively supports Control quickhacks, which enable players to gain control over enemy cyberware and weapons. Below is a comprehensive list of the quickhacks that players can utilize:
Cripple Movement: Freezes enemies in place
Cyberware Malfunction: Enemies take more damage for a short time
Reboot Optics: Makes enemies temporarily blind
Weapon Glitch: Jams enemy weaponry for a short time

Notably, the Monowire boasts the longest reach among all melee weapons and operates silently. Feel free to experiment with various hacks to create a deadly netrunner build.
