What happens if I send Jackie to Viktor?

If you send Jackie's body to Viktor in Cyberpunk 2077, Arasaka intercepts it at the clinic, takes the body, and uses Soulkiller to torture his engram for information, leading to a sad, incomplete memory fragment of Jackie later in the game, while the alternative (sending him to his family) allows for a proper funeral and closure but also results in Arasaka taking the body, just without Viktor knowing. This choice shortens the "Heroes" side job but still lets you get Jackie's bike and handguns, though the emotional impact is different, with players often feeling more guilt about the body's fate when sending it to Vik.

What is the best option for Jackie in cyberpunk?

It's just a shame that going that route ends up with Jackie being taken by Arasaka. With this last tidbit it makes sending him to Mama Wells the best option. But that requires knowledge V wouldn't have. So in character Vic is the right option, as a player Mama Wells is the best option.

Is there a way to prevent Jackie from dying?

No, in Cyberpunk 2077, you cannot permanently save Jackie Welles from dying; his death during "The Heist" mission is a scripted event central to the story, but you can influence what happens to his body afterward, leading to different story paths and potential encounters with his personality in an engram (like with Viktor or Hanako). While some players explore glitches or mods, the core game narrative makes his death unavoidable for a full playthrough.

What if Jackie died with the biochip?

If Jackie died with the biochip (Relic) still in his head, he likely still wouldn't have survived because his fatal injuries were massive blood loss and organ damage, which the Relic isn't designed to fix; it's for rewriting brain damage, not physical trauma, so the chip would have activated and probably just failed to save him, or at best, started Johnny Silverhand's engram on a doomed journey into a body with no life left to sustain, making the main story happen to Jackie instead of V.

What happens if I tell Delamain to wait with Jackie's body?

Telling Delamain to wait with Jackie's body (or sending him to his family) unlocks the "Heroes" side job, allowing V to attend Jackie's funeral, collect his iconic pistols, and get his ARCH motorcycle, providing a more complete emotional closure, though it delays getting V's car; otherwise, if sent to Viktor, Arasaka steals the body, leading to a darker, more tragic outcome where you miss the funeral and gear.

How much does V owe Victor?

In Cyberpunk 2077, V owes Viktor Vektor €$21,000 (21,000 eddies) for cyberware installed early in the game, a debt from the "The Ripperdoc" quest that unlocks the "Paid in Full" mission, preventing further cyberware purchases from him until repaid, though you can use other ripperdocs.

Should I pay Viktor 21000?

There's one main reason to complete Paid In Full: when you pay back Viktor you'll unlock access to his full services as a ripperdoc. In other words, you can buy from his selection of cybernetic implants and upgrades and have them installed. However, if you don't pay him back, you don't miss out on too much.

What killed Jackie Welles?

Jackie Welles dies from severe internal bleeding and organ damage, specifically a ruptured iliac artery, sustained during the Arasaka heist escape, rather than a single fatal wound, making it difficult to save him despite attempts like using MaxDocs or applying pressure; his death is largely unavoidable as V's brain injury from the Relic was the unique consequence that drove the main story, requiring his sacrifice to transfer the chip.

Would the Relic have saved Jackie?

No, Jackie Welles would likely not have lived even if he kept the Relic because he died from massive blood loss and trauma (gut/chest wounds), not a head injury that the Relic's nanites were designed to repair like V's. The Relic saved V by repairing the bullet damage in the head, but Jackie's fatal wounds meant his heart stopped and there wasn't a functional brain for the chip to save or integrate with before he died, so he still would have bled out.

Is Misty a love interest in Cyberpunk?

No, Misty is not a romance option for V in Cyberpunk 2077; she is deeply connected to V through their mutual friend Jackie Welles, serving as a spiritual guide and grieving partner, making a romance with V complex and generally avoided due to "bro code" and respect for Jackie, though some fans wish for it.
