Can You Save Jackie in Cyberpunk 2077?

In the midst of their escape attempt with the Relic, Jackie and V are shot at by enemy aircraft, narrowly avoiding them by sliding down the hotel’s exterior glass. They both eventually fall into a service area where it is revealed that Jackie got grazed.

After you make it through the hotel and reach Delamain’s taxi, Jackie begins to bleed out. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent him from dying in the seat next to you, as he passes away when you reach the rendezvous.

The only real decision you have when it comes to Jackie’s death is what Delamain does with his body. You can either have him delivered to his family, dropped off at Viktor’s clinic (Ripperdoc), or leave him until you return.

While the choice doesn’t have a huge lasting effect, choosing one of the first two is definitely better than the last since V never actually returns to the car. Alongside this, there are quests tied to the first two decisions, so choose wisely.
