Walkthrough of the quest “The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman” in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
As part of the quest The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman, V will have to go into the slums and help the locals. A former Barghest soldier, Leon Rinder, carried out the massacre. The families of the victims are demanding that the killer be found and punished. At the very beginning of the quest, you need to talk with Briana and find out more about the incident.
Hack the chip
At the end of the conversation with Briana, V will take the chip - "Archival dialogue: Jason Foreman and Slava Makarov". Hack it by solving a simple riddle with vulnerabilities. Inside there will be a conversation in which Foreman found a client who wants to sell implants. The comrades quarreled over money.
In a separate guide told how to hack chips and terminals.
Explore the surrounding area
Get off the balcony and explore the surroundings. The goal is optional, but by completing it, you can learn more about the former mercenary Barghest. Below on the wall you will find holes from 50 caliber bullets, from KKP-31. Johnny will tell you that this is a very heavy weapon, which means the shooter is extremely strong.
You can also examine the Archer car. You'll notice next to her army boot tracks. V will conclude that the soldier weighs more than 150 kilograms. Johnny will point out that Rinder probably has a lot of combat implants.
Inspect the damaged fence near the scaffolding you will find blood, it can also be studied. Silverhand will again note that V is looking for a cyberpsycho who has gone crazy, a battle with which will cause a lot of difficulties. This will end the inspection.
Get to the old motel
Next you need to get to the old motel. It is located in Pacifica territory. You will meet security near the entrance to the establishment. Briana will remind you that you need to not only kill the mercenary, but also bring his token. To enter an abandoned motel, all you need to do is kill the guard at the entrance. Do this quietly if you want to avoid a fight in the hallway.
Find Rinder
The hotel premises are a dangerous zone. Avoid any NPCs on your way, or simply destroy everyone you meet. Go around the reception and go through the room to get to the room where the mercenaries rest. Turn off the cameras and deal with the enemies - if you don't do this, it will be much more difficult to get to the second floor unnoticed.
Along the way, inspect your surroundings, for example, in the casino you will find Rinder’s weapon. Johnny will note that the mercenary was definitely here. On the second floor, if you go to the room to the left of the stairs, you can examine the mannequin - He will be wearing a vest with the name "Rinder" on it.
In the room with the woman's corpse on the operating table, examine the computer. The first message says that Leon wants to sell his combat implants. The second letter says that these same implants are already being offered to be sold to someone. The third message is the most important. In it, Maxim writes to Igor that “the soldier is alive, but barely.” Himself Leon lies on the third floor, at the end of the corridor.
Find Rinder on the third floor
Go up to the third floor and go through the marked door. You'll meet a lot of scavengers along the way, but you won't need to fight them. Go straight through the corridor, then turn left and look at the couch with blood.
Go through the door near the couch to find Rinder. You will see a crippled Leon in the room, but the scavenger will immediately intervene in the matter.
Defuse the enemy
Before talking to Rinder, you must kill Yakov Ivanov. Among the enemy's features, we can note the invisibility mode and a large amount of armor. However, there will be no problems with it. Use cyberdeck hacking and blow up the environment.
Find Rinder and talk to him
Return to the room where you originally met Rinder and Yakov. You can immediately shoot the mercenary, or sit down and talk to him. In the first case, the order will be completed instantly, in the second, a fork will open.
During the conversation, you will learn that Leon has memory lapses and, in his opinion, he did not kill anyone. You will be able to understand that Rinder has sold all his implants, and you will also hear that “Barghest” betrayed the mercenary. The man will tell you that the “victim” Jason tried to deceive Leon and take the money.
If you negotiate with Leon to the end, he will put his army token on the table. This is where the key choice will open - kill Rinder during the dialogue or after, or take his token and just leave.
What happens if you kill Rinder
If you just kill Rinder, there will be no branches. The customer will thank you for the work, and Mr. Hands will transfer payment for the job.
What happens if you spare Rinder?
If you hold the weapon to Leon's head and then lower it after demanding the token, the man will place the item on the table and send V the coordinates. In this case, a secondary quest will appear "Rejected".
Soon after completing the order, Hands will call, he will clarify whether Rinder is definitely dead. After some time, Leon will send a message stating his desire to help the families of the victims. You can try to dissuade him so that no one finds out about V's lies, but Rinder will do his own thing in any case. When V visits the coastal slums, he will be greeted by Briana. She will yell at the protagonist and order him to never appear in this area.
Exit the building and bring the Army Badge to Briana
After handing over the token, Briana will thank V for completing it, and the quest will be completed.

Listen, I also noticed that the line "let me remind you..." does not appear, there is a theory that after completing Regina's quests about cyberpsychos this option is not available, I checked several times by pressing all the blue lines, choosing key moments of the dialogue.
Although, suddenly the thought came that it was necessary to study all the evidence in the slums and from the garbage collectors, it would be necessary to check...
so you can get the coordinates, take the token, and kill him
There is another option, send him to Regina using cyberpsychosis (then he will send us a message that he is glad to see us because he is getting help in the rehabilitation center). I don’t know exactly how the dialogue option appears, most likely from completing all the tasks from Regina regarding cyberpsychics.
Thanks for the comment, added!
I don’t know whether it is necessary to fulfill all of Regina’s contracts, but in order for this choice to become available, you must select the following answers in the dialogue:
Were there any after effects? Well, except for the message that he is getting help in a rehabilitation center. Did he come to the slums to take a bath?
In short, I already encountered it. 🙂 If you send him to rehabilitation, then you receive a text message from him saying that he transferred money to the victims.
And they don't hate you? What is the best way to let him live?
For some reason, the option “Let me remind you...” doesn’t appear for me. No matter what I choose, this line doesn’t appear.
Absolutely right, the blue additional dialogue options influence the script "literally" - I just checked it myself.
Having gone through this dialogue three times, the option to call Regina appeared only after using all the blue additional options.
P.S. I have not closed orders for cyberpsychoses.
I have convinced myself of the necessity of using secondary blue variants. The Poles are great, good script work.
