The Blood Pump is a built-in Health item. Using it heals V in two parts. A large burst of Health arrives at once, and then more Health flows back over the next few seconds. It suits any build that takes heavy damage, and it matters most for builds that spend Health on purpose. Overclock netrunners and Edgerunner builds use it to stay alive. The Blood Pump is an early to late game implant, sold by ripperdocs in Night City and Dogtown from level 10.
Effect
The Blood Pump works as a powerful Health item. V uses it in place of a normal Health item. Each use restores a chunk of Health at once. It then regenerates more Health every second for six seconds. At Tier 2 the instant heal is forty-five Health. At Tier 5++ it reaches over a hundred. The healing over time grows at the same pace.
The two-part heal helps in a long fight. The burst gets V out of danger right away. The steady healing that follows covers the hits V takes during the next few seconds.
The implant is attuned to Technical Ability. Each Technical Ability point adds a small bonus to Health item efficiency. A character with full Technical Ability gains two percent more healing.
How to Get Blood Pump Guide
- Visit a ripperdoc from level 10 to buy it at Tier 2.
- Return every ten levels for a higher tier.
- Upgrade it at a ripperdoc with crafting components.

Upgrades
The Blood Pump comes in Tiers 2 to 5, with plus steps in between. Each step raises the instant heal and the healing over time. The six-second regeneration window stays the same. The capacity cost also stays the same at every tier. Ripperdocs stock Tier 2 from level 10 and a higher tier every ten levels after that. A ripperdoc can upgrade it with crafting components, which is the only way to reach Tier 5++.
The table shows what each tier step of Blood Pump costs at a ripperdoc.

Character Builds
The Blood Pump belongs in a build that heals through fights. In the Body tree, Dorph-Head grants a large Mitigation Chance bonus for two seconds after using the Blood Pump. Adrenaline Rush makes the Blood Pump grant Adrenaline as well as Health. Pain To Gain recharges Health items after kills while Adrenaline Rush is active. In the Technical Ability tree, Health Freak, First Aid and Transfusion improve Health item charges and recharge.
For other cyberware, the Biomonitor uses the equipped Health item automatically when Health drops below half. With the Blood Pump equipped, that automatic heal becomes the Blood Pump's two-part heal. Overclock netrunners pay for quickhacks with Health, and the Blood Pump restores it quickly.
