Cyberimplants are an important part of the gameplay in this game, however they can be infected. We tell you how to deal with this problem, which will definitely arise during the plot.
One of the Cyberpunk storylines ends receiving a virus chip from Militech. Check out this guide to learn how to remove a virus from a chip in Cyberpunk 2077. Thus, you will have opportunity to work with Maelstrom.
After you receive the chip, it will appear in the journal menu under "Shards" at the very end of the list. Scroll it and at the top you will see the chip hack option. This is the main hacking protocol, during which you need to align the numbers to neutralize the virus.
If you remove the virus, then the hero will be able to transfer the chip to the Maelstrom Leader without blowing up his guys. However even knowing about the virus is enough, removing it is not necessary for beneficial cooperation. If you tell the gang leader about the virus, it will remove it itself. As a result, you will be able to pick up the bot without fighting the head or his goons. The Lady of Militech will not be happy about this, of course, but you will leave without a fight.
