Here are the best ways to get components in Cyberpunk 2077.

8 Purchase In-Game

Vendors Are All Around Night City

Night City is the city of opportunity. The streets are littered with gold, and there's always a way for a merc to get his hands on prime tech. One of the easiest ways to obtain components of reasonable quality in Cyberpunk 2077 is to purchase them directly from vendors.

There are numerous vendors scattered around Night City, from Watson to the Badlands. Each specific vendor has a small supply of components for the specific type of gear they sell, whether it's weapons or quickhacks. Buying components directly can be pricey, but any top-notch merc can get their hands on the eddies they need in a pinch.

7 Crafting

Using Resources To Make Resources

Crafting is another straightforward way to obtain more components by using components already gathered. The crafting system in Cyberpunk 2077 is very extensive and easy to operate. As the game progresses, players will automatically obtain components in various qualities and amounts.

As stacks of base and slightly rarer components pile up in the inventory, players can craft higher levels of components by using the previous tier as resources. This process is a bit costly, as the higher the rarity of components crafted, the more of the prior tier are required.

6 Hacking

Steal Much-Needed Materials For Hacking Terminals

Hacking is one of the most satisfying activities in Cyberpunk 2077. Wireheads and elite Netrunners make any connected system their playground as they plunge the net for eddies, hacks, and components. Once progressing far enough in the Intelligence skill tree, players can access data points and jack into subnets scattered around Night City and found during missions.

Successfully hacking an access point will recoup various rewards depending on the difficulty of the hack. More often than not, raw quickhack components will be received in abundance.

5 Exploring Night City

Walk Down The Right Alley In Night City And You Can Find Anything

The developers at CD PROJEKT Red created a monstrously large open world that feels like a living, breathing city when trekking across the blood-soaked streets. From random gang attacks to hordes of XBD junkies, Night City is a place where anything can be found anywhere.

Night City is littered with materials and resources in random locations that players may never think to look in. Simply exploring of an area can easily earn players a fair amount of components and make crafting that much easier just by playing the game.

As players naturally progress and come across other mercs trying to make a name for themselves, Arasaka agents, or even established Night City legends, they will have to fight for their lives. Defeating some top names in the game will deliver a slew of rewards, among them, crafting components of various rarities.

Weapons, mods, quick hacks, and even Cyberware all drop components when dismantled, which is a great way to clear an overburdened inventory and acquire materials all in one go.
