The Heist Choices and Best Choice

Do Not Leave Jackie in the Car

Later in the quest, Delamain will ask you where to send Jackie's corpse. Your decision will affect the future side quest called Heroes. Sending him to either a Ripperdoc or his mother is fine, as long as you don't leave him in the car.

Choice Outcome
Send Jackie to His Family If you choose to send Jackie's corpse to his family, the Heroes side quest will be a much more emotional journey. You will get to visit Jackie's room and receive his Arch motorcycle. This is the recommended choice to make as this feels more canonical and gives proper closure to Jackie's story.
Send Jackie to the Ripperdoc If you send Jackie's corpse to Viktor, the Heroes side quest will be shorter and less emotionally impactful. Mama Welles, however, still gives you Jackie's Arch motorcycle. However, if you do send him to Viktor, you get to see a scene involving Jackie in one of the possible Act 3 quests, Totalimmortal.
Leave Jackie in the Car If you leave Jackie's corpse in the car, you'll miss the opportunity of getting this quest, and worst of all, you won't be able to get Jackie's Arch. A generic version of the same motorcycle will be available from a fixer later in the game, for a price.

Heroes Quest Walkthrough

Tips and Strategies

Pick Up Kongou and Nehan

Pick up Kongou and Nehan

Players can find an iconic pistol and iconic knife in Yorinobu Arasaka's suite. The Iconic Pistol Kongou can be found by Yorinobu's bed after scanning it in the Braindance during the quest The Information. You can then loot the Iconic Knife Nehan from Saburo Arasaka's Corpse, along with his dog tag.

Keep Multiple Saves

In a quest as long as this you'll likely want to keep multiple saves. Keeping saves will come in handy in case you mess something up, especially if you're trying to sneak through the level and go unseen.

How to Save | Can You Have Multiple Saves?

Make Use of Hacks

Hack anything you can to prevent being seen. Distract the guards with panels, turn off cameras, quickhack guards, whatever you can to keep yourself safe.

Find Items

If in case you are seen, it is highly likely you will get damaged by a lot. Fortunately, there are plenty of Bounce Backs and other restorative items scattered all around the area for you to make use of.
