How to Slow Time in Cyberpunk 2077

Did you know you can slow time in Cyberpunk 2077? This guide walks you through the simple process of unlocking and using time-slowing abilities to gain a significant advantage in combat. Whether you’re facing tough enemies or need a tactical edge, slowing time can be a game-changer.

Finding a Ripperdoc

The first step is to visit a Ripperdoc. These are the specialized vendors in Cyberpunk 2077 where you can purchase operating system upgrades and modifications.

Level Requirements

Before you can purchase time-slowing upgrades, you need to be at least level 10. Make sure you’ve leveled your character sufficiently before visiting a Ripperdoc.

Purchasing Sandavision

Once you’re at the Ripperdoc, look for an operating system module called Sandavision. This is the key to slowing time in Cyberpunk 2077.

How Sandavision Works

When you activate Sandavision, time slows down by 20% around you. Importantly, you are not slowed—only the world around you is affected, giving you a significant tactical advantage. Beyond time manipulation, this upgrade also provides:

Mitigation chance increase

Strength boost

Resistance to various types of damage

The ability lasts for up to 9 seconds with a 60-second cooldown between uses.

Upgrading to Higher Tiers

As you level up, more powerful versions of Sandavision become available. For example, at level 30 or higher, you can purchase the Booktier 4 version, which offers even greater benefits than the base version. Continue leveling to unlock progressively stronger time-slowing capabilities.

Summary

Slowing time in Cyberpunk 2077 is a straightforward process: reach level 10, find a Ripperdoc, and purchase the Sandavision operating system upgrade. Activate it during combat to gain a massive tactical advantage with time slowing to 20%, plus bonus damage mitigation and resistances. As you level up, unlock higher-tier versions for even more powerful effects. This is an incredibly useful feature that every player should take advantage of.
