1. This guide is a work in progress. There is still undiscovered perk shards out there and if you managed to find one not covered in this guide, perhaps mention it in the comments and I'll update this guide.

It looks like this guide is finished. This is all the perk shards available in Cyberpunk 2077. Though, if there are more perk shards going to be added in later patches or expansions, I'll be sure to update the guide.

2. This guide only covers perk shards.

3. There is a total of 13 discovered perk shards.

4. Apparently, you can get 2 perk points out of a perk shard. All you have to do is Learn them, not Take them. I've tested this on Hotfix 1.05 and it works. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be patched, so take advantage of this now or not, up to you.







As of Patch 1.2, this exploit no longer works. Sorry choombas.

5. The [PL] tag stands for the Phantom Liberty DLC.

(Follow the platform and take an immediate left.)

[Updated] Possibly Asked Questions
Q. Why don't you include skill shards in this guide as well?
A. I felt like you'll be able to cap out your skills naturally in playing through the game, so I didn't include them in this guide. Except for Athletics. Athletics suck.

Q. I feel like I've read this guide on another website before.
A. It must be déjà vu. I'm kidding, but it's pretty lame that they didn't at least notify me that they were gonna share this guide at their websites.
[Update] I got feeling that they klepped this guide and passed it off as their own. Oh well. You and me, we're one of a kind. And I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

Q. Why did you use the perk icon Here and Now from the Fallout series as this guide's preview picture?
A. Because you want perks here and now?

Q. Hmph! I can just add all the perk points I want through the use of mods and console commands!
A. Uh-huh.

Q. Yo choom! Why can't I see the full sized image when I click on the pictures? Telling me something like "invalid URL"?
A. I have no idea. Some gonk at Steam probably messed up somewhere. A way around this is to middle-mouse click the pictures.
Closing Remarks
Thanks for reading my guide.

If you found my guide pretty helpful, perhaps you can rate and favorite it so you find it faster in the Steam Guides tab.

Last but not least, remember to have fun chooms.

If you miss the Pacifica - Dogtown (1) Perk Shard, and you have Cyber Engine Tweaks mod, execute this command on CET console and it will teleport you to the perk shard location

Game.GetTeleportationFacility():Teleport(GetPlayer(), ToVector4{ x = -1365.8821, y = -1791.2202, z = 10.321457, w = 1 }, ToEulerAngles{roll=0, pitch=0, yaw=0})

to get out to nearby fast travel, execute this command below

Game.GetTeleportationFacility():Teleport(GetPlayer(), ToVector4{ x = -1306.2864, y = -1671.5808, z = 44.026276, w = 1 }, ToEulerAngles{roll=0, pitch=0, yaw=0})

Some of these locations are inaccurate. City corpo plaza #1 is much closer to the drop point. Badlands #1 is further east.

Excellent guide. And thanks for updating it over the years. All the other guides I found showed the 1.x shard locations, several of which have been moved.

I had no trouble finding any of the Perk Shards, except the one in Haywood. The screenshots unfortunately shows a white dot waymark at the wrong spot, and since the green triangle you used to clearly indicate the locations for all the other shards is a bit hard to see in that shot, it confused me for a bit.

Not sure what Junki is saying about the Badlands 2 shard, tho. I just picked it up right where you said it'd be.

Dogtown shard 1 is MISSABLE
Junki 23 Mar, 2024 @ 7:22pm 
The Badlands [2] perk shard isn't there anymore. VERY WEIRD.

Very nice guide, thanks!

I mean... this is one of those examples where red circles might help. So many of these u got a random screenshot of the area but even with that it takes ages to find what the hell your trying to point out to.

A red circle of where to go to might help. Spent way more time than I should have at many of those above till I sought them out elsewhere and found better guides. (With actual descriptions of where to go/what to look for)

Just use paint or something and put a little marker on the screenshots so people know what to look for.

Yep. All but confirmed Badlands (2) isn't a 100% spawn chance.
Terrified Mexican Man 21 Oct, 2023 @ 5:20pm 
The one labelled Badlands (2) didn't spawn for me this time around, which is weird because it did spawn for a different character just yesterday...
PotatoKing 21 Oct, 2023 @ 6:33am 
Dunno if it just didn't spawn for me but the 2nd shard in Arasaka Industrial Park isn't there
