Cyberpunk 2077: Perk Shard Locations (Updated for Patch 2.5)

Steam Community guide by Duct Tape.

Disclaimer

1. This guide is a work in progress. There is still undiscovered perk shards out there and if you managed to find one not covered in this guide, perhaps mention it in the comments and I'll update this guide.
   It looks like this guide is finished. This is all the perk shards available in Cyberpunk 2077. Though, if there are more perk shards going to be added in later patches or expansions, I'll be sure to update the guide.
2. This guide only covers perk shards.
3. There is a total of 14 discovered perk shards.
4. Apparently, you can get 2 perk points out of a perk shard. All you have to do is Learn them, not Take them. I've tested this on Hotfix 1.05 and it works. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be patched, so take advantage of this now or not, up to you.
   
   As of Patch 1.2, this exploit no longer works. Sorry choombas.
5. The [PL] tag stands for the Phantom Liberty DLC.

Possibly Asked Questions

Q. Why don't you include skill shards in this guide as well?
A. I felt like you'll be able to cap out your skills naturally in playing through the game, so I didn't include them in this guide. Except for Athletics. Athletics suck.
Q. I feel like I've read this guide on another website before.
A. It must be déjà vu. I'm kidding, but it's pretty lame that they didn't at least notify me that they were gonna share this guide at their websites.
[Update] I got feeling that they klepped this guide and passed it off as their own. Oh well. You and me, we're one of a kind. And I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
Q. Why did you use the perk icon Here and Now from the Fallout series as this guide's preview picture?
A. Because you want perks here and now?
Q. Hmph! I can just add all the perk points I want through the use of mods and console commands!
A. Uh-huh.
Q. Yo choom! Why can't I see the full sized image when I click on the pictures? Telling me something like "invalid URL"?
A. I have no idea. Some gonk at Steam probably messed up somewhere. A way around this is to middle-mouse click the pictures.
