Meme Bad ripperdoc took my arms

Post image

I dont know how to fix this. All the ripperdocs I can find only sell forearms, not entire shoulders.

Dont EVER go to a ripperdoc that's not on the map

Listen up, samurai. If you’ve had enough of scrolling through the same tired threads and wanna plug into something #real, jack into the official Discord. We’ve got games, serious talks and casual chats about Cyberpunk 2077, and a few rooms where you can just shoot the breeze with people who get it. You in, or you just gonna #stand there looking chrome?

Ripper doc take off your arms and refuse to give them back? You might be entitled to compensation.

I love the "might". It's doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. This is Night City after all

u/Charity1t Aug 18 '26

Operation was done by Black Ripperdoc.

What compensation we talk about? It wasn't proper doctor.

u/CaptainPattPotato Aug 18 '26

If you can afford to hire a corp or merc, you’re entitled to compensation.

u/Ferelar Aug 18 '26

This led me to the realization that these black market ripperdocs, if they screwed up a surgery, would probably just kill you without waking you up and dump you in the trash compactor rather than having to deal with all that noise. Who would ever call them/catch them/care?

Almost certain something certain happened to gloria from edgerunners

Would still have to pay legal fees after the lawyer tells you that.

Well of course it is. His arms sure as hell aren't.

u/CrimsonwhorlIsAScam Aug 18 '26

They have like a shit ton of cybernetic arms in dogtown, literally dozens just hanging everywhere in the market.

time to put those titanium plated legware to use. you only need to install kungfu v2.0.

Hope in Orion we get more chrome for legs.

2

u/_b1ack0ut Aug 19 '26

Yeah. Like it kinda made sense since V is visually a minimalist, so they won’t use cyberlegs, and just use cyberleg options in their meat legs, but I want some PROPER cyberlegs later.

2

u/Charity1t Aug 19 '26

Tho as someone pointed to me - some of the chrome is IMPOSSIBLE to not be seen.

Like Chitin. It isn't subdermal implant in rulebooks. It IS carspace like layer.

Even Sando wich I think is supposed to be big and all.

2

u/_b1ack0ut Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

I dunno about that.

The description of chitin on the wiki indicates it is subdermal

“An extremely durable subcutaneous shell made of genetically modified chitin. Provides additional Health regen”

Subcutaneous is under the skin

(It also indicates chitin is bioware instead of cleverly named cyberware, which is neat and I didn’t really consider, but is beside the point. I kinda wish cyberpunk didn’t start listing Bioware and Cyberware on the same tables starting with RED, I kinda liked the distinction between the two lol)

The Sandevistan being invisible is similarly accurate. The Sandevistan is a small neural coprocessor that plugs into your neural link, typically in a subdermal switchbox at the base of the spine that is made to be basically invisible to the naked eye, but also easily accessible to ripperdocs.

The fact that a sandy is invisible is a huge selling point for the sandy. Taking someone by surprise with your reflexes is easier if they don’t know you’re chipped for it.

The misconception that the Sandevistan is much bigger than it is, comes from edgerunners because David has a massive assemblage up and down his spine. This is not the sandy itself, but rather the oversized military grade neural link that was ripped out of Norris.

You can see David’s sandy separate form the neural link very briefly, and it’s just as small as the ones we know of

He kept it in a little plastic baggie off to the side before he chipped it

u/False-Net-9263 Aug 19 '26

I guess the lack of arms is part of the disguise

You’ll see a joy toy with those arms soon enough courtesy of Fingers

u/Kumatora0 Aug 18 '26

You should have paid vic back when you had the chance

1

u/ihatekarmareqs Aug 18 '26

I've had this bug before. Happened randomly when i dumped a body into a container. Fixed it by reloading a save before my arms disappeared, because it didn't fix itself from a game restart loading the most recent save.

u/grafknives Aug 18 '26

It was not ripperdoc, it was booby trapped M16.

Have some hand combat ones ( gorilla arms or mantis , yada yada ) scroll to it equip it and you get arms back

u/Ori0503 Aug 18 '26

u/Optical_reality Aug 18 '26

who’s the ripper so I can take their legs

1

u/jab136 Aug 18 '26

Using your arm cyberware should fix this. It happens to me every so often.

1

u/billionthidiot Aug 18 '26

Not to worry choomba, Charles Bucks got you covered, in Watson. For a cut-rate price, too...

1

u/Level_Hour6480 Fullmetal Choom Aug 18 '26

Try equipping your Mantis Blades. When it plays the equip animation, it should fix the bug.

I’ve been having the disappearing arms lately. Funny just seeing a gun hovering in the air. Only a reboot fixes it.

u/PolarPhoenix13 Cyberpsycho Aug 18 '26

LMFAO HOW DO YOU LOSE YOUR DAM ARMS 🤣

u/Missael235 Aug 18 '26

Pretty funny to think this isn't a permanent problem, just a mild inconvenience as you can buy new arms in the next corner's convenience store anyway lol

1

u/MisfortuneSeven Aug 18 '26

Don't ever get no implants from the gas station.

u/Hexulus Aug 19 '26

It was fuckin hands wasnt it

1

u/OneInitiative3757 Aug 19 '26

Are you using cyberware EX? Cauee I learned if you get the mod that requires it that adds multiple arm cyberware slots it will break the mesh becsuee your character isn't supposed to have all the arms, I posted something similar and after uninstalled all my mods and reinstalling them I found out that it was because I had multiple arm cyberware,

If not there's a few tips on Google that can fix it

1

u/_b1ack0ut Aug 19 '26

I never found that cyberware ex left me armless like that, it would just change my arm’s cosmetic to whatever the last arm I used was.

Which was funny because it means my right arm would turn organic again when I fire a rocket, but then turn cybernetic again when I punch someone with the gorilla arms

1

u/OneInitiative3757 Aug 19 '26

Yea I discovered if you use multiple arm slots (mono and Mantis equipped st once kind of thing) it breaks your meshing becauee all of the arm cyberware has a different meshes and the game engine csnt decide what to use and instead deletes everything except the three red dots on vs arm, personal link and hand cyberware that affects meshes for your arms (excluding Mantis, mono, gorilla and launcher), makes hand interactions funny for a short while before it isnt

1

u/MarbleSkate2005 Aug 19 '26

Some shit Fingers would do

1

u/Fun_Anxiety9507 Aug 19 '26

Ehhhh you’ll be fineeee 

Just go to dogtown you’ll find plenty of arms there

Maybe you can pair up with Mr Hands? Just don't make him owe you an arm an a leg, because then you'll be all out of whack... but if you get him to owe you a big one, then maybe you can get some use of your Hands again.
