 You’re Cyberpunk. You’re gonna love Black Chrome.

Why? It’s got everything a Cyberpunk needs. Guns, Cyberware, Gear,

Vehicles. Each has been painstakingly crafted by the finest Techs to bring
digital tears to your cybereyes and has been properly weighed to keep your
campaign in balance. To build this treasure trove you hold in your hands
we bent all the rules but broke none that didn’t deserve it. With all this new
chrome, Complete Package Character Generation will probably take a little
longer, but it’s gonna be worth it. Customization is the new black, and, as
you’ll notice, Black is the new Chrome.
This book isn’t just full of items, it’s also full of lore about those who make
those items and how to get them into your hands. You’ll learn about the
Economy of 2045, meet some Fixers, and tour their Night Markets, fully
realized with maps and ideas of what all you can find at each stall. Alongside
fan-favorite Corporations, you’ll notice plenty of new ones, and as you read
through these items, you’ll learn their stories. You should read closely; it might
help you when those Corps knock down your cargo container door or contact
your Fixer for a simple job. Execs, take notes! We hear they are hiring.
Take anything you want from this book. Homebrew it as you please, as is
your right. Take a weapon and ponder, “what if this was a Sniper Rifle?”.
Take it to your Tech in-game and ask your GM (out of game) if it’s possible.
Cyberpunk RED is a system for builders, and Black Chrome is a book
full of tools. Use them as you see fit. And make sure to check out our website
for free Cyberpunk RED downloadable content when you need more.

Good Hunting,

Digital Gladiator
Segotari
20eb (Everyday)
Do you have a grudge against a rival? Hesitant to shoot it out in The Street?
Want to hit them where it really hurts (their wallet)? Look no further than the
Digital Gladiator app from Segotari! Designed for head-to-head play, the
app links two Agents, allowing the users to duke it out in a virtual arena. The
prize?
The winner’s Agent is safe, while the loser’s Agent gets hit with a power
surge, destroying it. If the loser was playing using Internal Agent Cyberware
it also fries their brain. The cost of replacing an Agent makes Digital Gladiator
an expensive hobby, encouraging the widespread trend of playing for money.
But hey, it’s cheaper than dying in the street! Don’t waste ammo on a foolish
grudge — waste their Agent instead with Digital Gladiator!
App. To play, players must first create a Digital Gladiator: a Rank 4 Solo
made using the Complete Package method (see CP:R page 78), with 62 STAT
points, 86 Skill points, and 2,550eb to spend on whatever you want, except
explosives. To be legal combatants, Gladiators must have a Humanity higher
than 0. In Digital Gladiator matches, all purchased ammunition is restored
at the end of a match, at which point the winner’s Gladiator is reset to its
pre-match state.
Gameplay is represented by a single combat encounter to the death
between Solos, cannot be stopped once it has begun except through mutual
decision of the players, and takes place in an arena of the GM’s design.
The loser’s Agent is fried, destroying it beyond repair. If the loser played
using an Internal Agent, they suffer the Brain Injury Critical Injury in addition
to it being destroyed beyond repair.

KillStrom Typhoid Speaker
KillStrom Music
500eb (Expensive)
The Typhoid by KillStrom Music Technologies is a speaker with the heart and
mouth of a monster. Created as the perfect speaker to pair with the KillStrom
Amp, test footage shows it cracking concrete and rattling garbage cans as
far away as the length of a football field. There is nothing wireless about the
Typhoid. Something this powerful requires a hardline. Much like the KillStrom
Amp, it also requires a decent power source. Once connected, the Typhoid
brings the house down with ear-shattering sound. And unlike other super
speakers, the Typhoid boasts enough dampeners to ensure the noise is as
clear as a unicorn’s song and not just a blast of incoherent thunder.
When connected to a KillStrom Typhoid Speaker, the DV of any Resist Torture/
Drugs Check caused by the KillsStrom Sonic Boom Amp (see page 40) is
increased by 1, and the range of the Amp’s ability to cause a Resist Torture/
Pick-up or Browse Drugs Check is increased by 90 m/yards. The Typhoid Speaker must be
at Booth C1/E3 plugged into an active electrical outlet to function.

Laser Light
Electric Guitar
Laser Light
1,000eb (Very Expensive)
There is no show like one played on a Laser Light Electric Guitar. Lasers in the
frets light up the strings, making them dance as the guitar is played. The head of
the guitar is studded with six lasers programmed by default to mirror the strings,
so even the back of the crowd can see the show. When linked to an Agent, the
guitar’s settings are completely customizable, making it easy to create exactly
the light show you want. This wireless guitar allows the artist to move freely
around the stage but can also accept a hard connection if desired.
Pick-up or Browse
at Booth C1/E3 A Laser Light Electric Guitar gives its user +1 to their Play Instrument (Guitar) Skill
Checks. This bonus only applies once and won’t combine with other instruments
that grant bonuses to the Play Instrument Skill. Additionally, this guitar counts as 1
installation of Light Tattoo Fashionware when worn openly, making it helpful for
reaching the +2 Wardrobe and Style bonus for having 3 installations of Light Tattoo.

2 Tactical Smart Gibson Battlegear Tactical Smart Armor is a popular combat armor worn
by many Solos in the post-4th Corporate War United States. Reminiscent of
Armor old-school SWAT gear, Tactical Smart Armor offers innovative technology

1,000eb (V Expensive) from Kevlar® and ballistic-proof plastics.
Additionally, the integrated helmet is constructed from high-density polymers

confidently storm into a safehouse and withstand at least the first volley of
gunfire almost completely unharmed.
The Gibson Battlegear Tactical Smart Armor is Medium Armorjack Armor with
Pick-up or Browse at Booth F3 built-in Smart Glasses. Unlike other armor, it isn’t bought in two pieces and

Makigai Ebi The Makigai Ebi is a reliable mini-hatchback built for the city. It has great fuel
efficiency, decent cargo space, comfortable seating, and better-than-average
Makigai environmental controls. What more could you want? Most Ebi are owned
23,000eb (Super Luxury) by Corporate carpoolers who are too poor for aerodynes or luxury vehi-
cles but who still want the status boost of owning a car. Small families enjoy
these hatchbacks as well, especially the feature where the car says hello and
goodbye as you enter and exit. The Ebi wasn’t designed for speed and the
chassis is mostly plastic, so driving it into the Combat Zone would be a bad
idea.
The Ebi is a Compact Groundcar with 35 SDP. It is incompatible with the
Heavy Chassis Upgrade.

them but you’ve got them. Just to make a statement.
