Best Sandevistan locations (David Martinez build)

The Sandevistan time-slow operating system. Where to find tier 4+ versions early.

Best Sandevistan locations

The Sandevistan is Cyberpunk's time-slow operating system — popularized by Edgerunners' David Martinez. Tier matters. Here's where to grab the best ones.

Tier 4 (Mid-Game)

  • Fingers MD in Watson sells a tier 4+ Sandevistan after the Disasterpiece main mission.
  • Cassius Ryder in Northside has rotating tier 4 stock.
  • The Heal On Kill variant is the workhorse for melee builds.

Tier 5 / Tier 5++ (Late Game / DLC)

  • Tycho/MoreCo Mk.4 — sold by Wakako Okada's contacts in Watson AFTER the Phantom Liberty DLC unlock.
  • The "QianT Sandevistan Mk.5" drops as a guaranteed reward from the Black Sapphire main heist in Phantom Liberty.

How it works (post 2.0)

  • Activate with L1+R1 (or your bound key). Time slows for 8-16 seconds depending on tier.
  • Cooldown applies. Stack with Berserk is no longer possible — you pick one OS only.
  • Gorilla Arms + Sandevistan + Adrenaline Rush = the classic David Martinez build.

If stuck: if your Sandevistan won't equip, your Cyberware Capacity is full. Increase by leveling Technical or use Edgerunner perk.
