Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty Relic Points are all-new skills that can enhance V's powers even more, from combat to stealth and everything in-between. You must have the expansion to get your hands on Relic Points and while they're not essential, they do mean the Cyberpunk 2077 builds you use will be improved further. This guide covers how Relic Points work in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty and how to get more of them.

How to get more Relic Points in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

Relic Points are spent on the Relic perk tree - found on your character page along with all your other attributes - that Songbird unlocks for you shortly after you meet her at the Dogtown gate. At the same time, Songbird grants you three Relic points to get you started and you'll get another three Relic Points from her roughly halfway through the story - that's six Relic Points just for playing through Phantom Liberty.

Relic Points are also acquired by finding Militech Data Terminals scattered throughout Dogtown. They can be identified by the Relic icon on your map - a stylised blue 'R' - and will show up when you're nearby, much like Cyberpunk 2077 Tarot Cards do. You'll also be able to hear them if you're close enough, as they emit a high-pitched beep every second or two. Approach the yellow terminal and you'll be able to download operational data, granting you a single Relic Point.

There are a total of nine perks to unlock via this tree, split into three categories: Jailbreak, Emergency Cloaking, and Vulnerability Analytics. The first perk in each branch costs three Relic points, with consecutive perks costing one - that's 15 Relic Points in total. Here are all of the available perks in the Relic perk tree and what they do:

Phantom Liberty Jailbreak Relic skills

Jailbreak Relic skills unlock new abilities for arm cyberware including Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire, Projectile Launch System: 

  • Spatial Mapping: Leap attacks with Mantis Blades cripple enemies and increase dismemberment chance for 10 seconds.
  • Limiter Removal: The shockwave from a charged Gorilla Arms attack knocks down all enemies within range.
  • Launch Capacity Override: +1 charge for the Projectile Launch System.
  • Data Tunneling: Enemies affected by Monowire-uploaded quickhacks and are then hit with a normal Monowire attack will spread the initial quickhack to other enemies hit by the attack.

Phantom Liberty Emergency Cloaking Relic skills

Emergency Cloaking Relic skills lets you activate Optical Camo during combat, which causes enemies to lose track of you.

  • Sensory Protocol: When crouched, if an enemy detects you, time is slowed so you can dodge or dash out of combat.

Phantom Liberty Vulnerability Analytics Relic skills

During combat, Vulnerability Analytics Relic skills can detect vulnerabilities in enemy armor and cyberware. Hitting vulnerabilities gives 100% chance of a crit, +25% armor penetration, and weakspot damage bonuses. It can also cause the vulnerability to explode if you deal enough damage, generating a 3m EMP blast.

  • Machine Learning: Destroying an enemy's vulnerability grants +10% frequency of new vulnerabilities appearing and +5% crit damage against vulnerabilities. It can stack five times and the effects are doubled if you reach the maximum stack.

Our recommendations for the best Relic perks to invest your points in would be based on your style of play. The Jailbreak tree has the most options, but if you don't use the arm cyberware much, you're better off going for one of the other two branches. Emergency Cloaking is ideal if you like to play stealthily - a huge bonus for lots of missions in Phantom Liberty - whereas Vulnerability Analytics is better for players who like to engage in firefights.
