Although I have a framework for the story prepared, I still need ideas for tech. So, I'm making this post to get your ideas. I'll be making a list after that.

I'm listing down categories, and you guys can fill them with whatever you know, no matter which fandom, no matter how absurd or strange it is.

Defense - This can go from armor to cyberware to shield generators, and also property defense systems like turrets and such. Like MJOLNIR armor.

Offense - Guns, offensive vehicles, explosives, or any tech that can harm the other side. Like that DL - 18 blaster. Or Leaper.

General Tech - Something like that Quantum Condom. Tech that can be mass-produced and sold around the world. Tech that is advanced, and also new to the world of Cyberpunk.

Utility Tech - Anything like Sonic Screwdriver.

Energy Tech - You know what this means. Arc Reactors and such.

Health Tech - From droids that heal to Stimpak from Fallout.

Food Tech - From tech that can help him grow food on land again to tech that can outright construct food from matter. Also water-related tech.

Industrial/Construction - Cypher needs to build a lot of stuff. From buildings to tech. So machines, printers, and construction droids. This is pretty important.

Absurd Tech - Halo Rings, Super Star Destroyer. Stuff that Cypher really can't do anything about.

Transportation - From cars to spaceships. Something doable.

Anything that you guys think I missed.

Just go all out and suggest whatever you guys can think of.

Omni Tool and Medi-Gel from Mass Effect

BattleMaster

Lightsaber and maybe nanotechnology that can break down old cyberware and give scraps that can be used as new

Malio

For defence, im thinking about this [kinetic deflecting] armour that Batman had in one of the animated movies [it was the one scene where he was standing in the middle of these burning cars, looking cool]. It deflected bullets that came close. He stopped using it because he couldn't control were the bullets landed.

Majortom589

servitors, or anything tech from Warhammer 40k

Emil v03

For heal tech you could use Lifelines heal android from apex legends

MrPlotThickens

Oh yeah. They're coming. Got stuff from Warhammer planned.

Galend

Medigel from Mass Effect could be interesting. https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Medi-gel Thermal clips for various guns in the Mm ass Effect universe. Every weapon has a limit how many thermal clips it can carry before becoming non functional for a while I think. You would need to research a bit. Mass Effect guns might be feasible if he had a replicator type tech.

Kasikan

Auto miners, turrets and construction stuff from any of the factory type games / turret defense games would work for building things up for himself. Could even grant him auto researchers to unlock tech for him as long as be brings stuff back for them to scan and improve upon. Could be a good way to build up a company with improved cybernetics in the future.

Ofunu

Utility tech: Syndrome's zero point energy gauntlets. From The Incredibles. Health tech: Helen Cho's cradle from MCU Age of Ultron (The thing they use to create vision) Food Tech: Star Trek's replicators General tech: Hiro's microbots. From Big Hero Six.

Galend

There are various universes where there are 3D food printers which print out cartridges which a machine like a cooker can spit an entire meal out of.

MrPlotThickens

I got that covered. From Star Trek. Nothing beats what they've got.

liquidpotato

G.E.C.K. to fix the enviroment WALL-E to gather all the trash mountains

Mann994

• Crysis • Halo • Mass effect • Star citzen- • Deus ex humankind- • Stargate • Gears of War • GI-Joe • Warframe • Call of Duty • Elite Dangerous • Battlefield • Anthem

MrPlotThickens

Lol. WALL-E is already on the list. G.E.C.K I need to research on. It's hard to understand how it even works.

Galend

Altered carbon features tech where you load everything about yourself on a stack. So even when they kill you you just need somebody to retrieve that chip. If you grow a body in a tank you can basically die as much as you like. https://altered-carbon.fandom.com/wiki/Cortical_Stack

Galend

Was thinking the same. Any DNA sample of Alt and you could grow a body double. Which if she loads herself on the Stack could mean a damn fine piece of Ass being back in the world. Plus imagine enemy's of cypher thinking he is dead boom a new cypher ends them. You can copy stacks

Joanny Hernandez

The healing stims from Star wars are an underrated health item the people don't talk about much

Noah Hill

He could always make Rick' space car

Galend

I think Ironmans armors especially the ones which can cover you in seconds would be good. Like nothing visible but it's there. Or maybe something like a batman suit. Always liked the one from Batman Beyond

Joanny Hernandez

Oh how about the technology from Spy Kids you know Floops holographic tech for his show. Machete's micro cameras so small you can't see it but it can see you. R.A.L.P.H. a command center that fits in a small device. Quick dry spray cement. Power gloves and shoes. Kick ass Robot Dog etc...

Kasikan

If you mixed games pieces from stuff like Riftbreaker, Factorio, and Satisfactory for mining / turrets and then added in Subnautica style printing with Satisfactory quantum storage, you'd have a nice setup for both planetary and space based. Even more so if you added in Astro Colony type droid miners and other space based mining. I'd probably take Riftbreakers for Turrets. Astro Colony for space mining. Factorio and Satisfactory for planet based gathering / trains. Then Subnautica for being able to print things near instantly. Though all of the games have fairly robust printing systems. Subnautica and Satisfactory both have that quantum storage / printing stuff going for them with the ability to draw stuff from them no matter where you are in Satisfactory. Which would be damn helpful for just dropping down a bunch of turrets when you want to slaughter some ass holes or set a massive trap.

JoyBoy

For absurd/construction tech the Space Stations from No Man's Sky can serve as an HQ, and an upgrade location for ships multi-tools and exosuits. These stations also have their own AI that can run things.

Galend

He also could make something similar to a Bacta tank from star wars at his home base

Joanny Hernandez

Horizons zero Dawn's focus tech and terraforming tech

Joanny Hernandez

Edna Modes costume fabrics that resist missiles, over five thousand degrees. Friction. Materials able to go invisible with help. And Jak Jak's costume is cool technology itself.

ConcreteEater

Given how cyberpunk is all about body modding then you should use cyberware and biological enhancements from other franchises maybe something like the geneseed organs from warhammer those are pretty neat and you would have plenty to pick from.

Joanny Hernandez

Bruce Banners shield belt that resisted blows from the Juggernaut

liquidpotato

Dead Space has stasis tech that should counter most speedy boys

Kaine

Zoids Gundam Anthem javelins The Dominator from psycho-pass

SomeFatGuy

Haven't started this one yet, so not sure how useful my comments are. The thing with a Cyberpunk uplift is the corps wanting to prevent a change in power that isn't in their favour. So you need to focus on stealth and anti nuke until you are inevitable. For that reason I'd suggest a heavy fallout tilt. Nuke shelters with underground gardens tended by robots, process the food so its not obviously fresh/local, with invisible deliveries. You also want things that can pass for local tech advancements, as it's easier to trust. Synth tech may make more realistic cyberware, which could help with cyberphychosis. Beyond that, you want anti ambush. Armour that goes on in 2.3 seconds is a nice to have, but doesn't save you from a sniper. 5 minutes notice does. Finally, you want tech you can escalate from. They will break some of your stuff, reverse engineer it and develop counter measures, being able to bring out a new improved version every year for a decade or 3 is vital for long term success.

Rex2000m

Hover board from back to the future, Proton pack from ghostbusters Power loader from alien The what if machine from futurama

Joanny Hernandez

Capsule Core tech from Dragon Ball the vehicle's that fit in Capsules. Spaceships

MrPlotThickens

Yup. Nice ideas. Though the name of the fic has "Madman" in it, so the MC is gonna be doing some not so stealthy things as well.

Potato

Someone said gene seed that is a crazy thought 🤣 sounds sick Please the Nano suit from crisis its sick as fuck

Potato

Warframe

Kermit The Frog

I agree with liquid potato on Dead Space. You've got the stasis module that massively slows down a specific target, doesn't matter if it's a door or a biological creature. Not really sure how that actually works in universe cause it makes no sense but whatever. Then there is the Telekinesis module. At it's max upgrades, that thing is powerful enough to rip the bone implements off the Necromorphs while they are alive, which is badass and could also be used in construction and maintenance work. There are of course the engineering suits and their suit of upgraded versions, could be sold again to construction workers in hazardous conditions or as space faring gear. The suit kiosk could be modified as the primary shop for Obsidian inc, with the amount of people just walking around night city it would be pretty useful to have physical shops that are automated. Could also use the shop kiosk as a modular prep station for military applications, sell them to various corporations for quick deployment of their soliders armor in the field. Of course I'm sure you could also implement a kill switch incase any of the corpos turn against Cypher. Alot of others have already said Mass Effect related gear, but if Cypher developed a mass effect generator or anything that actually created a mass effect field, he could research biotics or any of the other tech from Mass Effect independently. Biotics are absolutely insane in universe so that would massively boost his threat level. 🐸🧬

kiddeath1998

I would do the health Tech first saves up medical bills. Overall useful.

Stremkoz

Here are some of my initial Idea's, I might come back and edit this if I think of more. 1. Defence - Crysis Nano Suit, MJOLNIR MK2 (Spartan-IV Version). 3. Offence - Halo Weapons (UNSC Caseless ammo, Covenant Plasma), WH40K Imperium Weapons (Lasgun, Bolter, Melta etc.), MAC Guns (he seems to learn the lesser science that works up to the highest level right? if so, if he knows how to make MAC Guns, anything lesser and easier to use will still be absurd, the UNSC Infinity, I believe, shoots a 3000 ton projectile at 0.25c, or 25% of the speed of light...). 3. General Tech - 4. Utility Tech - Omni-Tool (Mass Effect, makes sense without a Cyberdeck), Gravity Gun (Half-Life), Matter Manipulator (Starbound). 5. Energy Tech - UNSC Fusion Tech, GN Drive (Gundam), Zero Point Module (Stargate). 6. Health Tech - Medi-Gel (Mass Effect), Medical Droids (Star Wars), Stimpacks, Radaway, Rad-X (Fallout). 7. Food Tech - Replicators (Star Trek), G.E.C.K (Fallout), Moisture Vaporators (Star Wars), Nutrient Paste (Rimworld). 8. Industrial/Construction - Generic materials from most Sci-fi like Durasteel, Plasteel etc. Molecular Furnaces (Star Wars), Replicators (Star Trek), Digistruct Technology (Borderlands). 9. Absurd Tech - Dyson Sphere, Mass Relay. 10. Transportation - There is LOADS of good Sci-fi vehicles (some Conceptual) from Star Citizen and Cool art for both it and Star Atlas, I'll give them their own area, as their is quite a lot of them for just here, and some are just concept art, these can fit in Offence as well. 11. Misc - Portal Gun (Portal), Stasis Tech (Dead Space) Star Atlas: Calico Maxhog (Submarine/Hover Car), Calico SCUD (Star Wars Speeder meets Porsche), Calico Compact Hero. Star Citizen: Hercules Starlifter, Drake Ironclad Freighter, Anvil Valkyrie.

Doogaloo

Already have a blaster from star wars but was thinking bacta tanks if you could spin a manmade variety of bacta

Stremkoz

Just realised the rest of the Transport vehicles I suggested are missing, that's annoying I don't remember what I had there. I think I deleted it in editing...

Drago what ifs

I agree with everyone saying he should get the G.E.C.K. from fallout seems perfect for the lake house. As for a vehicle I was thinking K.I.T.T. from knight rider and God a.i. could be his on board computer since he isn't going to be needing any out a.i.

The Great Gasby

Blacklight virus from prototype could be cool get that man a superhuman level abilities

The Great Gasby

-Dune Holtzman shield - can be put on person or vehicle -Lightsaber - since you already have the blaster only problem with that is how you get the crystal. -Power armor from 40k doesn't have to be space marine power armor if I remember correctly inquisitors and rogue traders have human sized power armor

Arsylvos

Borderlands weapon tech, there's a lot, it,s verisitile and deadly, dude could sell those for a lot.

Arsylvos

Star Wars Ship Technology hyperdrives and Space stations lets bet the rest of those suckers to space.

Arsylvos

And last but not least Evil Genius, mainly uts base building tech, can dig through the Earth and do construction as well would help with developing and building yhe company along with building a hidden lair.

Ben

Zorg ZF-1 Pod Weapon from 5th Element. It literally has everything you could want in a gun including being stealth. Smart rounds, AP, railgun, darts, flamethrower, net launcher and a missile. He'll learn enough from one gun to revamp his whole weapons program.

Despracs

robo dinos/animals from horizon zero dawn, could be scaled down to suit the environment more

Derisat

Cold Fusion (Shadow drop it, or the government and corporations are going to kill him) (Night city is powered by microwave transmitted solar radiation) Anti-Hostile AI countermeasures, go beyond the black wall and clear out the rest of Earth. Westworld level bodies for his AI to puppet as a group or simulated individuals. The cure for cyberpsychosis, the currently running best theory is that cyberpsychosis was purposefully developed by all cyberware manufacturers. And it exasperates when you mix different brands. This is to encourage brand loyalty and every corp benefits. Cuz someone will have all arasaka and they'll swear arasakas free of the risk, someone will have all biotechnica, and they'll say that's the ticket. But you mix the two and you get fucked. The more you mix the more fucks. So a cure for that, that'd be pretty sweet. Nanite based Mass-water purification system (project purity from fallout 3), start desalinating and detoxifying large bodies of water. With a radius determined by the size of the nanite cloud. Borg nanites (Seven of FINE, adjunct of uni-matrix Sixtynine)

FANATIC

Not sure if it’s been mentioned in this but the regeneration cradle from marvel would be mighty help full. Could get him huge ties to trauma team corp and biotechnica

FANATIC

I also agree with the guy below about him building a bunker. Could make it multi level. Also Subnautica tech would be sick. Would help him be able to build a shelter in the reservoir where Laguna Bend is.

FANATIC

Also he could build his own version of skynet. In case the black wall ever breaks. Almost like a his own personal army of ai to fight back against the rogue ai’s

__wave

Well I would kinda wanna see him like create the deathclaws, but make all the other corps obsessed with them for some weird reason. Like they wanna make em why honest who know everyone else wants them so they must be important. Or maybe like iron man armor the nanotec version from the movies. Finally there is a terraria mod pack called the calamity mod give stuff from draedon’s boss loot that he can make somehow. (He is like basically a mechanical god high key with super op end game stuff.)

Drago what ifs

Cypher will need synth bodies if you plan to bring Alt Cunningham into the story. There is an in world version with the Gemini body but those cost a shit ton and are monitored by corpos so have fallout/West world synth bodies may be the way to go.

ox_killer

Pretty sure the ai he just built could no dif all the ai in cyberpunk together

MrPlotThickens

Yup. The AI he already got is the peak of any AI in all of fiction.

FANATIC

That’s true. It was stated in the fic that it’s a cosmic Ai. I personally have never read about it. Hard for me to imagine the strength of it. Also the cliff hanger led me to believe that it has major problems with listening to cypher

MrPlotThickens

It's loyal to him. It's just that Cypher fucked up a little when he gave it personally and purpose.

Always 084

11 For android tech from being human or robot from i robot

Forzarismo

The Big MT and the Institute from the Fallout Series each have tech that would be incredibly useful for Cypher to make. For example there is the Saturnite which can be used to make absurdly sharp and insanely heat resistant tools/weapons from. There are also the cybernetic enhancements that the Institute installed into Kellogg allowing him to live for hundreds of years and look relatively young, something that is decades upon decades ahead of what Cyberpunk has to offer.

DarkestCalling

Honestly if your going for what gives him the most versatility and options Star Trek replicators basically cover it as long as something's atomic makeup isn't extremely complex it's able to make it Food medicine tech clothes organs metals It's also able to break things down to learn Thier patterns or if he's able to design it well enough print it out like a super 3d printer and it's also pretty close to Thier transporter tech so its possible to maybe gain it at the same time It would also allow him to create alot of the stuff that's world specific like an example even if I don't think it would be able to but vibranium if he knew the exact atomic structure

Kidch@os_9

I’ve always been a fan behind the idea of the blue blood from Detroit Become Human or the recycler charges from Prey

Arkhaan

Since you already gave him a Mind, the knowledge on how to produce the Deroit become Human androids would be useful and also vaguely on par with Cyberpunk tech. The selling point could be an alternative to Gemini FBCs and as more human looking service robots. Also joytoys. For vehicles I HIGHLY recommend the Ubrikkian line of vehicles and vessels from starwars. Also the Theed Royal Engineering stuff from starwars. Fast durable but not so fast or so durable as to be mind boggling and thus limiting the attention drawn. Titanfall mech and bots are also great here. If you want to get a touch esoteric then stuff from Horizon Zero Dawn. Really interesting tech and implications from there. If you want to get very heavy into the vibes and such, technology from the Ancients in Stargate or the Protoss from StarCraft would be really dope.

Martin The_Tinman Wallace

6, 7, and 8 but like pnly afyer he's in the position to do so like as an estabilished Cropo

MrRattikarl

How about mass driver technology from Mass Effect, also an EDI android

ox_killer

The armor from vanquish the game

Traaq

Something to protect him from nukes and whatever other missile type weapons they have. Also something to clean up the air/lakes/oceans from radiation/pollution (gotta start cleaning the environment asap). Also, there’s probably tons of discarded resources just lying around, maybe he can send out the micro bots to collect it or set up a dumpster and pay homeless, the young or other broken people to collect it for him and create a recycling plant. In the future he should claim 100% of space so he can mine the resources and terraform mars or something.

Brandan Romine

Don't know if it's been suggested or implemented yet. Just started reading the story, but what about Yorha styled androids, completely loyal shock troops or bodyguards that can pass seemlessly for people but hit as hard as full Borgs
