To change gender in Cyberpunk 2077, go to a Ripperdoc in Night City and select the option to undergo a Body Modification procedure. This will allow you to change your character's appearance, including gender, which impacts how NPCs interact with you and some dialogue options in the game.
Unlocking the Ability to Change Gender
To change gender in Cyberpunk 2077, you first need to progress through the game until you reach a specific point where this transformation becomes available. The option to change your character's gender is not actively presented to you at the beginning of the game. Once you have played into the narrative and reached a certain stage, you will unlock the access to change your gender in the game.
Visiting a Ripperdoc
Once you have progressed to the point where you can change your gender, you will need to visit a Ripperdoc. Ripperdocs are the NPCs in Cyberpunk 2077 who can perform cyberware enhancements on your character. The gender change operation is considered a cyberware enhancement in the game. Head to a Ripperdoc's clinic to begin the process of changing your character's gender. These clinics are marked on your map with a scissor icon.
Changing Gender through Body Modification
At the Ripperdoc clinic, you will need to interact with the Ripperdoc to initiate the gender change process. During this interaction, you will have the option to change your character's gender. This transformation involves body modification through cyberware enhancements that alter not only your character's appearance but also how they are perceived and addressed in the game world. Cyberpunk 2077 offers a range of customization options for your character, including gender, to tailor your experience within the game.
Finalizing the Gender Change
After selecting your desired gender change, the Ripperdoc will perform the necessary cyberware modifications on your character. These changes are irreversible, so make sure you are certain about your decision before finalizing the transformation. Once the procedure is complete, your character's gender in Cyberpunk 2077 will be officially changed, reflecting your chosen identity within the game.
