More and more gamers are searching for the cybernetic upgrade in Cyberpunk 2077 as a result of Sandevistan's involvement in Cyberpunk Edgerunners. That shouldn't be surprising, given that it offers a wide range of build options and enables super-fast movement.
You can take advantage of unprepared enemies by slowing down time with this clever little operating system. High-level enemies are notorious for moving around at breakneck speed and are difficult to shoot. In essence, that is what Sandevistan accomplishes. You can buy a variety of Sandevistans in Night City, along with the best mods for your expensive new technology.
What is a Sandevistan in Cyberpunk 2077?
A Sandevistan is an operating system that grants the user a temporary status effect that can be activated on demand and is intended to be used primarily with bladed melee weapons. It is a cybernetic implant that is implanted directly into the user's spinal cord to interface with nerves and connects to various parts of the body.
The operating system will slow time to a certain level for a set time limit, but modifications allow the user to improve Sandevistan to increase duration, decrease cooldown, and other useful benefits.
How many different Sandevistan types are there and where can they be found?
There are ten different Sandevistan types in Cyberpunk 2077 and unfortunately, all ten can only be found at various Ripperdocs across Night City.

Sandevistan Upgrades in Cyberpunk 2077
Getting a Sandevistan operating system will allow you to move a lot like David Martinez in Cyberpunk Edgerunners. However, thanks to the addition of modification slots, you can go even further than David did with this by adding some more cyberware to the OS.
First, one must travel to the Ripperdoc in Arroyo, which is located near the Mission Waterfront fast travel location. We can buy the crafting recipe for the Sandevistan Heatsink from him. To get the most out of the Heatsink, you should craft some Legendary quality ones, which requires at least an 18 Crafting skill. You can still do this if you don't have Crafting skills, but to get the most out of it, you should spend some time leveling Crafting.
By placing three of these, you can cut the Sandevistan's cooldown time in half, from 15 to just 3 seconds. Even a Legendary spec Bioconductor can be added to reduce that time to just two seconds. If you can't make the Legendary Heatsinks, you can purchase the Bioconductor in the Aldecaldo camp.
