You’ll need the Cerberus Decoded Behavioral System Component in Cyberpunk 2077 to craft two powerful pieces of gear. However, it’s extremely easy to miss the prerequisite item required to obtain it. Additionally, when you get the Behavioral System Component, it’ll still be encrypted, and you must complete a side job to decrypt it and make it usable.

Where to find the Cerberus Decoded Behavioral System Component in Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 Cerberus Behavioral System Location

There’s only one opportunity to get the Cerberus Decoded Behavior System Component in Cyberpunk 2077. To do so, you’ll need to start by siding with Reed during the Phantom Liberty DLC main mission, “Firestarter.” Doing so will take you down the mission path leading to the main jobs, “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos” and “Somewhat Damaged.”

During “Somewhat Damaged,” you’ll find yourself in Militech’s Cynosure Facility. As you search for Songbird, she’ll send a Cerberus robot to hunt you down. It’s impervious to regular weapons fire, so you’re forced to run and hide from it.
