Dr. Nick in [[Injection Junction]] (IJ) in northeastern [[Freedom City]] can install them into you for cheap as well as Doctor Stigg in [[Weezer Village|Weezer]]'s Torgussen Clinic (for an MUCH higher price) and Meatwad in [[Weezer Sewers]]. Simply give the implant to your chosen doctor, respond with a "yes" or a nod, and he'll install it at a price that varies according to the price of the implant. He'll also slightly hurt you and cause bleeding. If you change your mind, but have already given him your implant, don't panic. They will give it back to you before you leave the clinic.
Implants can be bought cheapest at [[A Better Life]] in [[Weezer Village]], but are also available at the [[Enhancement Clinic]] in [[Corpclave]], [[The Neo You]] in [[Maas Neotek]], and [[Kowloon Wirehead]] in [[Botany Bay]]. You can install as many as you want, but repeats are not allowed. Wearing too many will give you regular ticks of stress; wearing at least one implant will give you 1 stress point every time you move location if your Cool is low (minimum Cool to avoid this seems to be 5 + number of implants).

Implants are placed in your head, with various effects:

  • Stat implants will give you a specific boost to a stat at the cost of multiplying incoming stress by a certain amount.
  • Utility implants allow you to do new things.
  • Explosive implants (cortex bombs) are put into you by a corp, or jail to kill you whenever they so desire.

Implants can be bought cheapest at A Better Life in Weezer Village, but are also available at the Enhancement Clinic in Corpclave, The Neo You in Maas Neotek, and Kowloon Wirehead in Botany Bay. You can install as many as you want, but repeats are not allowed. Wearing too many will give you regular ticks of stress; wearing at least one implant will give you 1 stress point every time you move location if your Cool is low (minimum Cool to avoid this seems to be 5 + number of implants).

Installing and removing implants

Doctor Nick and Doctor Beta in Injection Junction (IJ) in north-eastern Freedom City can install them into you for cheap as well as Doctor Stigg in Weezer's Torgussen Clinic (for an MUCH higher price) and Meatwad in Weezer Sewers. Simply give the implant to your chosen doctor, respond with a "yes" or a nod, and he'll install it at a price that varies according to the price of the implant. He'll also slightly hurt you and cause bleeding. If you change your mind, but have already given them your implant, they will give it back to you before you leave the clinic.

Players can install or remove implants for you in the Operating Room on the top floor of the St God's memorial hospital in Slagtown. Note that removing implants takes high Medic skill; around 26 at minimum.

Condition and on-death

Implants have a condition system, similar to armor. If your corpse rots (vanishes when you enter/look into its room) with implants in it, they are almost guaranteed to take anywhere from 1-4 damage (except when you've mutated Silicon Skin). The only way to prevent this is to have someone cut them from your corpse before it rots, or to be revived.

Implants are not protected by cocoons. They will be hackable from your corpse should you die, unless you have the Silicone Skin mutation. Implants will be destroyed if the unfortunate bearer dies an explosive death.
