Monowire

The Kendachi Monowire is a whip-like monofilament wire with a cutting edge only a molecule wide. It deals 3D6 of damage (armor is x 1/3).

Cyberpunk 2020
As either a trap or in melee. It can be strung at neck level to clothesline targets or ankle level to trip them. It is available in varying lengths, capped at both ends with synthetic bulbs for safe handling.

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. Monomolecular wire will cut through almost any organic material and most plastics. Can be used as a garrotte, cutter or slicewhip. This is considered a form of black market cybertech, and as such is not accessible through the average on-the-Mall clinic.

Cyberpunk 2077
''The Monowire charges when equipped but not used in combat. Attacks with a charged wire deal bonus damage based on the charge level. Charge level and bonus damage dealt decline with each attack.''

Gameplay
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.

Acquisition
This type of cyberware is available for purchase at any ripperdoc. Those who do not sell it in Rare quality, do so in Epic or Legendary. Monowire mods can infrequently be acquired by defeating human enemies.

A Legendary Monowire can be found in the locked garage under the Charter Street overpass, Watson District - in the same building where the Gig: Shark in the Water takes place.

Mods
The Monowire consists of two parts - the wire and the battery. Each of the parts can be modified: wire can be exchanged for the three types of elemental damage, following the basic physical damage type, while the battery can be upgraded.
