Should you kill Grayson in Cyberpunk 2077? Sure, you can. But he'll take some very nice information to his grave, information about the location of Johnny Silverhand's car, a Porsche 911. Now it goes without saying that in the age of the internet, you could just kill him and search for the location... but where's the fun in that? Actually, that sounds very fun, so we're here to help. Here's the lowdown of what happens if you kill Grayson in Cyberpunk 2077, or what happens if you spare him during the Chippin' In mission.

What happens if you kill Grayson in Cyberpunk 2077?

The whole reason you've found Grayson is because you and Rogue are hunting down Adam Smasher. Unfortunately, you find Grayson instead, because Smasher has become the Arasaka's best pal now. You can exhaust all dialogue options with him – including learning where Johnny Silverhand's body is kept – but ultimately, you need to decide whether or not to shoot him.

If you spare Grayson, two things will happen. One of these is that he'll give you an old access card, and the second is that he'll tell you where to use it. Of course, this is great, because the reward you find through that access card is absolutely excellent, but the downside is that Grayson gets to live.

If you kill Grayson, he doesn't tell you where to use the old access card, but that ultimately doesn't matter because you're reading this guide. You can still find the loot if you know where to look. So you can appease Johnny and Rogue, shoot Grayson in his face, loot the old access card, then go and grab the loot.

To find it, climb the ladder to the platform on the left-hand side of the boat when you're looking past where Grayson is sat. Interacting with the control panel up here will lower a shipping container. Go down to it and use the access card to discover Johnny's Porsche 911 inside! It's yours to keep from here on and is easily the best looking car in the game. Another item to add to the list of Johnny's things you can own, on top of the pistol you picked up when initially interacting with him.
