War Pigs

War Pigs is a side job in. It is only available to players who chose the Corpo Lifepath, and involves V receiving a dead man's switch message from a former colleague at Arasaka, Frank Nostra.

Walkthrough
After completion of the Never Fade Away stage of the Tapeworm quest, you will receive a call from an agent and former acquaintance within Arasaka, Frank Nostra. Frank informs V that Susan Abernathy is purging the Special Operations division, removing every employee that, she believes, is not completely loyal to her. For reasons unknown, Frank is one of these individuals. As a countermeasure, Frank explains, he has put together files that would incriminate or destroy Abernathy's career within the Arasaka Corporation. Nostra informs you of a "dead man's trigger" in regards to locating the incriminating evidence should he be "purged."

Upon arriving at the location, Johnny will insult V as to their continued participation in the Corpo "rat race", where upon V can respond that it's a matter of vengeance for those unjustly murdered by Abernathy. The briefcase mentioned by Frank is hidden under a dumpster in the location provided, but is empty upon inspection. You are then confronted by a disheveled and bitter Frank, still very much alive, but finding himself in much the same situation as V found himself at the beginning of the Corpo life path; Implants shut down, funds removed, housing, vehicle and privileges revoked. In his desperation, Frank wants to turn you over to Abernathy to get back into her good graces, believing this may assist his return to his previous position. There are several options available for confronting Frank, depending on whether or not V spoke with him during the Corpo introduction. Taking any of the hostile options, the ones that outright threaten violence, will lead to a fight with him that will require you to either kill or incapacitate him and will allow you to claim his JKE-X2 Kenshin. Being non-violent but showing no compassion will lead to Frank thanking you for your honesty and committing suicide. Attempting to tell Frank he can make it in Night City with a gun and a full clip will lead Frank to stand down.

In all cases, Johnny will mock you for attempting to help a Corpo friend, to which V will tell him to "Fuck off" in no uncertain terms.
