Quickhack

Sonic Shock

Sonic Shock is a quickhack in Cyberpunk 2077. Available from vendors, from quests and by crafting.

Emits a high-pitched frequency inside the target's skull. Some say that if it lasts long enough it can induce a psychological break. One version of the program written by netrunners from the Glen is known as Banshee's Wail.
