It was my first mod on here and I had literally no idea what I was doing... just managed to strip out the parts I wanted from better mods. Without the thrill of getting it to work making it available on Nexus, I never would have moved on the Gold-Plated Interface or Gemini II.
I sincerely hope someone rips this apart and gets inspired to do something really cool.
EDIT: yes it does, finally a mod for this that actually works
Would you be willing to buff the upload speed of the blackwall and the spread range a bit? its...pretty lackluster and so even with the improvements of this mod there's still very little reason to use the Canto over others as a result
This mod doesn't change the acquisition of the Canto at all; it just adds RAM and/or quichack slots to to the Canto.
If you don't want to play through Phantom Liberty to get it as a story reward, you could download a virtual atelier to buy it or use the CET console to spawn it using one of the following codes:
I didn't change anything related to the gateway hack. That said, with the increased RAM, I can get a couple of jumps even without overlocking.
This is functionally pretty similar to installing Blackwall Quickhacks enabled and Iconic version via PL story (which I absolutely love) and using the gateway hack with the rippler. For a change of pace, I wanted to forgo all of the rippler's bonuses and just use the base Canto and its creepy voice without needing to constantly switch quickhack loadouts.
Much appretiated. Both other mods are just ridiculously OP, while basic kanto is nice and all but very stiff at tactical approach, esp for stealth. This mod is exactly what i needed.
Sometimes all you need is a 2 instead of 3 in one line of code ig :D Giving it a try now and it's definetly more fun than basic version. Allows for funny shenanigans and comboes based on kanto hack purely without feeling like you have nothing to do outside of "kill bunch of common enemies in open combat" moments, like not so reliable but very flavourful shonic shock + call help, then finishing off with bloody ritual they call gateway. Likethat resident evil movie moment when you see a guy standing in crowd shaking, and then he starts eating people. I simply wouldn't go for this combination with less slots because it would leave me basically unarmed for other sort of stuff
On the plus side, it got me kickstarted to learn TweakXL and that's been a blast. I may revisit this mod at some point and see if I can spruce it up, but for now, old band-aids and hope seem to be holding it together.
Yeah, that's correct. The vanilla Canto actually has 5 slots but 1 of them is always occupied by the Blackwall Gateway so you only see 4 in the UI. As far as I know, there is now a hard limit on the number of slots that can be assigned to any deck so the max is 8 (minus 1, in this case).
I mentioned a mod called Blackwall Quickhacks enabled and Iconic version via PL story in another post which allows the Blackwall Gateway to be used on any deck. An interesting side-effect is that by making the quickhack visible, you can also remove it from the Canto to free up the slot. If you're using something like Quickhack Loadouts, you could have sets that don't us the Blackwall Gateway hack at all.

I've added 2 alternate files for anyone that wants to only increase RAM or the available quickhack slots.

Game.AddToInventory("Items.HauntedCyberdeck_Rare",1)Game.AddToInventory("Items.HauntedCyberdeck_RarePlus",1)
Game.AddToInventory("Items.HauntedCyberdeck_Epic",1)
Game.AddToInventory("Items.HauntedCyberdeck_EpicPlus",1)
Game.AddToInventory("Items.HauntedCyberdeck_Legendary",1)
Game.AddToInventory("Items.HauntedCyberdeck_LegendaryPlus",1)
Game.AddToInventory("Items.HauntedCyberdeck_LegendaryPlusPlus",1)
After that, either install with Vortex or just unzip the file into your Cyberpunk directory.

Just tonight, I had the entire wraiths camp doing the Bernie dance.
Thanks for sharing.
