Expeditions

You can get Cyber Chips by playing through Expeditions.

Legendary Chips can only drop from End Bosses on higher Tiers and Rounds.

Cyber Rig Vendor

They can also be bought at the Rig Vendor which can be found on Alcatraz Island.

• The Rig Vendor only sells Chips and Rigs of Uncommon, Rare and Epic rarities

Pre-Slotted Chips

• The pre-slotted Chips will either be the same or of lower rarity as the Rig you picked up

How do you slot Cyber Chips?

To slot Cyber Chips, you will first need to equip a Cyber Rig. 

• The amount of chips you can slot into a Rig will depend on your EGO and the Cyber Rigs rarity
• Each Chip has a unique shape and will only fit in to the same shaped slot 
• You can replace Chips by slotting over them and in doing so the first Chip will be lost
• The amount of slot types will vary depending on what type of Rig you have equipped

• Slot types:
  • Hex = Offensive
  • Oval = Defensive
  • Square = Sustaining
  • Diamond = Miscellaneous
  • Trapezoid = Keystone (Legendary Rigs Only) 

Use of Chip Pullers

Cyber Chips can also be removed from slots by using a Chip Puller

• This will remove Chips from slots without destroying them
• Chip Pullers can be purchased from the Bit Store
