Set in the dark future of Night City which is home to corrupt corporations, organised crime and gang violence, it is no surprise that it is a dangerous place to live. That is why the events ofCyberpunk 2077are less than smooth sailing and not everyone will make it out alive.
Check out theCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyexpansion below!
For one player, a character death that happens pretty early on in the game “hit like a freight train” and feels like “losing a friend”. This death was that of Jackie’s, our protagonist V’s best friend and partner in crime. During an early mission and heist, V and Jackie find themselves escaping a job gone wrong and Jackie finds himself succumbing to mortal wounds and passing away.

It is our first real introduction to the reality ofCyberpunk 2077’sNight City and it is a moment that stayed with one Reddit user on r/cyberpunkgame.
“Did anyone else like, f**king ball when Jackie died?” They wrote. “I barely know this man, he’s a fictional fucking character, and yet… I feel like I just lost a friend that’s so close, that they’re basically family.
“…Jackie however, I feel like I was genuinely at a friend’s fking funeral, and I was doing my best to say something nice, and be fking honest about how much this fking man meant to me. Shit hit me like a fking freight train man. Did anyone else have a similar reaction?”
As mentioned, Night City is not a place full of sunshine and rainbows and one reply reminds us just that: “I’ve been playing this game for 3 years, I get it. A lot of people in this sub will if they’ve been here from the start. Give him a call on the holo, you’re in for a surprise. Chin up choom, it only gets worse from here.”
