| Type | Cyberdeck |
The Raven Microcyber is the cyberdeck for netrunners who hit whole groups at once. It pushes quickhacks that spread to reach enemies much farther away. From Tier 4 those quickhacks jump to nearby enemies the moment the upload starts. At its highest tier, Overclock gives every quickhack a chance to spread on its own. It suits an Intelligence build that clears rooms rather than picking off one target at a time. The Raven Microcyber is a mid to late game cyberdeck, sold by every ripperdoc in Night City and Dogtown from level 20.
Effect
A cyberdeck is an operating system that lets V use quickhacks. Each quickhack costs RAM, and the deck sets how much RAM V has. The deck also sets how many quickhacks V can carry and the size of its buffer. The Raven Microcyber's RAM, quickhack slots and buffer all grow with each tier.
Some quickhacks can spread from the first target to nearby enemies. The Raven Microcyber raises how far that spread can travel. The bonus starts at forty percent. Upgrades raise it to sixty-five percent and then double the normal distance at Tier 5++.
At Tier 4 the deck changes the timing of the spread. Normally a quickhack spreads only after its upload finishes. With this deck, it spreads to every valid enemy as soon as the upload starts. A whole group feels the effect at the same moment.
At Tier 5 the deck works with Overclock, an Intelligence perk. While Overclock is active, any quickhack has a fifteen percent chance to spread to two nearby enemies. That includes quickhacks that would normally hit only one target.
How to Get Raven Microcyber Guide
- Visit any ripperdoc from level 20 to buy it at Tier 3.

Upgrades
The Raven Microcyber comes in Tiers 3 to 5, with plus steps in between. Tier 4 and Tier 5 each unlock a new bonus and raise RAM, quickhack slots and buffer size. Tier 5+ and Tier 5++ raise only the spread distance. The capacity cost stays the same at every tier. Ripperdocs stock Tier 3 from level 20, Tier 4 from level 30 and Tier 5 from level 40. A ripperdoc can upgrade the installed deck with crafting components, which is the only way to reach Tier 5++.
The table shows what each tier step of Raven Microcyber costs at a ripperdoc.

| Tier 3 to Tier 3+ | 75 Tier 3 components | - |

Character Builds
The Raven Microcyber belongs in an Intelligence build. Overclock unlocks the Tier 5 bonus and lets V hack with too little RAM by paying with Health. Spillover adds a further chance for quickhacks to spread to another target while Overclock is active. Copy-Paste spreads a quickhack to the allies of an enemy netrunner who targets V. Hack Queue and Queue Acceleration let V stack more quickhacks on a single enemy.
With Phantom Liberty, the Data Tunneling relic perk spreads a Monowire-uploaded quickhack to other enemies hit by the same Monowire attack. For cyberware, RAM implants such as the Camillo RAM Manager and the RAM Reallocator restore RAM when it runs low. The Bioconductor lets quickhacks land critical hits.
Select a Build
The Monowire whips several enemies at once from a short distance, and quickhacks are uploaded between attacks. Intelligence perks give the Monowire more damage and return RAM on hits. Overclock spends Health in place of RAM when a fight drags on.
Attributes: Body 15, Reflexes 20, Technical Ability 11, Intelligence 20, Cool 15.

Lore
Raven Microcybernetics builds this deck. Its in-game description says some people call these decks battleships. The text praises its system security and its fortified anti-theft protocols. It calls the deck a foolproof piece of machinery. Each tier carries its own model number, from Mk.1 at Tier 3 to Mk.3 at Tier 5.
Notes
- The Raven Microcyber fills the operating system slot, so it replaces a Sandevistan or a Berserk.
