| Requires | All Things Cyber |
License To Chrome is the cyberware payoff of the Technical Ability tree. It raises every implant's stat modifiers again, adds a large amount of armour, and finally opens another skeleton slot while improving everything installed there. Most of the upper cyberware branch is bought through it. A chrome heavy build treats it as the goal.
Effect
The first level repeats the percentage from lower in the branch, and the two stack, so a build that has taken both is getting a substantial lift on every modifier it carries.
The second level is a flat armour increase large enough to be felt on its own. The third opens a skeleton slot and raises the stats of all skeleton cyberware, which is where a durable build puts its frame and its armour plating.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | +10% to all cyberware stat modifiers. |
| 2 | +40 Armor |
| 3 | Unlocks a new cyberware slot for the Skeleton. All Skeleton cyberware have boosted stats. |
How to Unlock License To Chrome
It sits behind the Phenom gate of the Technical Ability tree. All Things Cyber comes first, and all three levels have to be bought before the extra slot appears.

Character Builds
The build is the cyberware build at full strength, with heavy armour, a full skeleton and as many implants as capacity allows.
Buy all three levels at the Phenom gate, then Extended Warranty and Cyborg for the timings, then Ambidextrous for the hand slot. Edgerunner at the Legend gate is the end of the branch. A build that stops before the third level misses the skeleton slot, which is the most valuable single thing in the tree.
Notes
Ambidextrous, Built Different, Cyborg, Extended Warranty and Edgerunner are all bought from it, which makes this the widest pick in the tree.
Ripperdocs install whatever goes into the slot it opens.
