The Cyberpunk 2077 Gig: The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman is a Gun for Hire type of gig that you can complete in the Phantom Liberty DLC. In this mission, you are a mercenary hired by the family of one of the victims of the Longshore Stacks massacre, Jason Foremane, to track down a long-serving ex-BARGHEST ghoul and serve justice.
Like the Heaviest of Hearts, this gig will have different outcomes. And to help you out, I’ve detailed a full walkthrough that shows you how to easily complete The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman gig in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, including the important choices affecting the ending.

The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman Walkthrough
The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman Gig is unlocked after completing the Phantom Liberty DLC’s 5th main mission, “The Damned”. Once you meet the requirements, start the gig by going to the green icon located north of Terra Cognita in Pacifica, Dogtown. Once there, answer the call from Mr. Hands, and he’ll brief you on the job.
First, meet up with Briana Dolson at the location near the vigil candles between 10 PM and 6 AM. If you get there too early, the objective will make you sit and wait on a bench nearby until it gets dark out.
Talk to Briana shortly after you meet her, and she’ll ask you to follow her upstairs. During your talk, Briana will request that you track down Leon Rinder, the man responsible for the Longshore Stacks massacre. She’ll give you a shard to decode for details; in return, you’ll need to bring Rinder’s dogtag back at the end of the pursuit to help settle people’s feelings.
From the main menu, crack the Shard by going to the Journal -> Shards -> Encrypted -> Archived Conversation: Jason Foreman and Slava Makarov.
Investigate the Area (Optional Objective)
Explore the area and scan the yellow objects to complete the optional objective. This will help you learn further details about Rinder in the process. After that, head to the old abandoned motel marked on your map. Fast travel to West Wind Apartments or go by car to quickly reach Rinder’s location.
When you reach the motel, go inside and climb to the third floor. Make sure to kill all enemies along the way for XP. Going for a stealth route won’t be necessary, but feel free to go loud since there is no right or wrong approach.
When you reach the third floor, go through the door on the left to access a new section of the building. Straight ahead is a red-lit door, so keep going until you reach the far back left corner. You can find Rinder inside.
The moment you open the door to go inside, the Scav boss, “Yasha Ivanov,” will force you back outside. He has the ability to hide himself while he runs around the area, and toxic bombs can draw you out from behind cover. When Yasha Ivanov tries to cloak and retreat, chase him and kill him quickly; then you can go back to the room where Rinder is located. The choice is yours: either kill Rinder or spare him and grab his dog tag.
The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman Endings
Very much like most of the gigs in the Phantom Liberty DLC, The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman leads to various choices and outcomes. Talk to Rinder, and he’ll say he can’t remember killing anyone, beg to live, and hand up his dog tags so you can finish the gig.
Spare Rinder Choice
In exchange for sparing Rinder, you gain access to his loot stash and get a unique weapon called the Dezerter. The Dezerter is a Power Double-Barrel Shotgun. In my experience, this is the better option between the two. Sometimes rewards are more satisfying than doing exactly what the client tells you to do.
Kill Rinder Choice
If you decide to kill Rinder, Mr. Hands’ rewards will remain unchanged once you close the contract. You probably won’t be able to gain access to his stash either.
Pro Tip: If you decide to spare Rinder and find the location of his stash, you can still kill him before leaving the old motel. This way, you’ll get the rewards while delivering true justice at the same time.
In the end, Mr. Hands will still offer you the same rewards regardless of your decision, but if you spare Rinder, you’ll have access to his stash and get the Dezerter.
Collect Rinder’s dog tag and deliver it to Briana, who will be sitting on a table at Longshore Stacks. Finish your conversation with her to complete The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman gig, and then answer the call from Mr. Hands to close the contract and collect your rewards.
The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman Rewards: 8000 Eddies, and 1,685 EXP .
