Also called the Slice N' Dice in Cyberpunk 2020, a mono-filament wire spool mounted in end of one finger, with a weighted, false fingernail to give it balance and swing.

This arms modification relies on a unique battery-reliant mechanic which distinguishes the severity of its attacks. Depending on the level of charge, the damage dealt will change, that too, in a directly proportional manner. Each attack executed however, will consume a portion of the charge, emptying the battery for about a fifth per light attack and up to a full charge for heavy attacks. To recharge the battery, the Monowire needs to stay equipped, although not being used.

Uninterrupted light attacks are capable of building a combo up to 5, while holding the attack button charges for a strong attack. The Monowire is capable of blocking as well, although using a fast attack during blocking will execute a regular light hit.

The monowire gains +3 damage for every level of Cool.
