The Electromag Recycler gives V back Health and Stamina each time a fully charged Tech weapon shot hits an enemy. It is the Iconic variant of the Feedback Circuit, which restores only Health. The added Stamina keeps V sprinting, dodging and firing between charged shots. It suits a Technical Ability build that fights with charged Tech weapons. Every hit becomes a small heal as well as damage. The Electromag Recycler is a mid to late game Phantom Liberty implant, sold by the ripperdocs in Dogtown from level 20 and found in Dogtown airdrops.
Effect
The Electromag Recycler is a passive Circulatory System implant. It triggers when a fully charged shot from a Tech weapon hits an enemy. Each such hit restores a small percentage of max Health and max Stamina. The higher tiers raise that percentage. Only fully charged hits count, so the implant rewards patient charging.
A Bolt counts as a fully charged shot. With the Bolt perk, V can release the trigger just before full charge and still trigger the Recycler. That makes the heal come faster in a long fight.
The implant is attuned to Technical Ability from Tier 3 onward. Each point raises the effect of Health items by one percent. A full Technical Ability build heals noticeably more from every Health item. Its extra stat bonuses fit the same role. The first bonus adds Health. Aim Speed arrives at Tier 2 and higher. RAM Regen from neutralizing an enemy needs the Driver Update perk.

Upgrades
The Electromag Recycler comes in Tiers 3, 4 and 5, with plus steps in between. Each step raises the Health and Stamina restored per charged hit. The capacity cost stays the same at every tier. A ripperdoc can upgrade it with crafting components, which is the only way to reach Tier 5++. Cyberware Capacity Shards and the Edgerunner perk help make room for its high cost.
The table shows what each tier step of Electromag Recycler costs at a ripperdoc.

Character Builds
The Electromag Recycler belongs in a Technical Ability build with Tech weapons. Bolt speeds up charging, adds damage to charged shots and unlocks Bolt shots. Internal Clock widens the timing window for a Bolt. In Charge stops Tech weapons from firing on their own at full charge, so V can hold a charged shot until the right moment. Shock Value lets Bolts ignore enemy Armor. Chain Lightning makes Bolts arc to nearby enemies. Lightning Storm speeds up the next charge after each Bolt.
Charged Tech shotguns such as the DB-2 Satara fit well, because they can charge from the hip and fire through cover. Health item perks also gain from the attunement. Health Freak adds a Health item charge and speeds up recharging. Field Medic makes Health items faster to use in combat.

The build snipes while soaking up a steady stream of enemy fire. When the pressure gets too high, Optical Camo lets the character slip back into the shadows. Tech sniper rifles, silenced pistols and a Projectile Launch System make up the kit.

Lore
The Electromag Recycler shares its in-game description with the Feedback Circuit. The text calls it extra circuitry that links V's body and cyberware with weapons and devices. In practice, the link sends a share of each charged shot's energy back into V. It is one of the Iconic implants that arrived with Phantom Liberty and are sold only inside Dogtown.
Notes
- The Feedback Circuit is the base implant. It restores Health only, but it costs much less capacity.
