Relics are the sixth Attribute included in Cyberpunk 2077, that are locked in the Phantom Liberty DLC. Players unlock these as they progress through the storyline, either by exploring Dogtown or participating in Phantom Liberty jobs.

- Emergency Cloaking – This relic improves Optical Camo cyberware.
- Limiter Removal – The limiter removal allows the shockwave from a charged Gorilla Arms attack now knock down all enemies within range.
