Where to buy Sandevistan in Cyberpunk 2077
After update 2.0, almost all rippers in Night City have a standard set of implants. Only the Black Market merchant, located in Dog City, has a wider range of goods, but you don’t need it to buy Sandevistan. It is enough to visit one of the rippers in the game. We have indicated where they are located on the map.
Please note that the implant will only appear after you reach level 40. The price is 118,681 euros, provided you have a good reputation in the city. If you haven’t completed any additional tasks, you’ll have to pay even more.
What is the best Sandevistan in the game?
The best implant that can slow down time is called “Militech Sundevistan “Apogee””. It has the following features:
- When activated, time slows down by 85%. The effect lasts 8 seconds. Reload time – 25 seconds;
- While Sandevistan is active, headshot damage increases by 10%, critical attack chance increases by 9%, and effectiveness increases by 13%;
- Neutralizing an enemy extends the implant’s action by 20% and restores 22% of stamina.
If you upgrade the implant to level 5++, you can increase the effectiveness of headshots as well as the chance of critical strikes.
Best build with Sandevistan
You must understand that the purchase and installation of this augmentation may not be effective if Sandevistan is not combined other equipment, perks and weapons. That’s why it’s important to put together a build that suits your tactics, making constant use of time dilation.
Best weapon
Sandevistan is designed for combat with edged weapons. An excellent choice is Errata’s Thermal Katana, which can be obtained completely free in one of the main story missions. We talked more about this Japanese sword in a separate guide.
An alternative option is Blades of the Mantis. This iconic weapon, known from the first trailers, also fits well with Sandevistan. We talked about it in the thematic guide.
The best implants

Best clothes
After the release of update 2.0, clothing no longer affects the character’s attributes. Therefore, the choice here is entirely yours. In the meantime, if you want to roleplay as David Martinez from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, you can wear his jacket. To get it, complete the task “Educational story”. We have marked the place on the map where you can undertake this quest.
How to play with the David Martinez build
In our build, the focus is mainly on melee attacks with time delay activated. Thanks to this, you have the opportunity to get close to your opponents and deliver powerful blows with your knife. You dodge enemy attacks with melee weapons and use dashes, and reflect bullets back at your enemies. This approach allows the health shell and armor to be inflated according to the residual principle. Focus on critical attacks and the effectiveness of implants.
