Kill Jackhammer?

[Silly Cat]

He seems like a scumbag, what are the consequences of killing him vs letting him go?

PS: Killed him, because i was interested what kind of loot he has as i wasnt interested in the money. he got an AA12 (Shotgun with drum mag and burst) + a heavy vest with 80% damage reduction and a gold bar.
Not sure if this has any long term implications but some of my mercs felt guilty about it.

Not sure, but I just let em go and for some odd reason he came back to attack the same square without taking over the previous squares inbetween and he dies then lol

[Golden Boy]

did anyone keep him alive?

At the begining of the conversation there are "consequences" if you kill him.

But if you talk with him it will change and there will be consequences if you do not kill him.

What's point in letting him live? This entire prison is filled with + or - rep from opening cells.

If you don't pass the stat check, killing him will debuff your team as noted previously. Losing APs is nasty, on low AP mercs especially.

I put him in prison (seemed appropriate) and got all his loot anyway. Don't have to kill him to get the loot, and it avoids the potential morale penalties.

[Torpex]

Interesting. Never got the option. It was either let him go or kill.

Look around in the prison for hints, if you don't have the option to kill him without loosing morale

I think you have to clear the lower prison first to get the option to imprison him.

That's it. I always cleared the top first. Thanks.

I let him live. He came after my squad with a bunch of new guys, and got real close and personal with Barry's shaped charges.

[Karmapowered]

I've had my squad kill all the people who seemed like they'd cause issues further down the line, like Pierre, Jackhammer, Luigi. Even Boombastic, the explosives girl. So far no negative consequences, got nice loot (best melee weapon in game) and only positive feedback from my team.

Not sure why I should keep them alive. Plus, one doesn't mingle with my enemies and live to tell the tale. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me, and all that jazz.

I actually clicked everything reads won't kill him, but at the end...
Only kill him available.

[Rücklicht]

Jeez, you guys are playing the game on overdrive? I play all day long and only just cleared the top now. Now I´m in the prison and don´t know how to do it. I have to use 5 mercs to kill one guard while they kill my mercs with a single strike. Why is this game so badly balanced?!

[Lightning]

wow didn't know that about the prison option to kill the ones below first, next playthrough i'll have to try that
