Peter Sampson is a character in Cyberpunk 2077.[2]
Overview[]
Sampson is a Militech employee and avid street racer. In 2076, during a race, he would be involved in a crash which took the life of Dean Russell, Claire Russell's husband. However, since the street races were not only illegal but known to be violent with fatalities common, he suffered no legal consequences for the incident. Ever since, Claire has blamed Sampson for Dean's death, and wants revenge.
At the start of the final race, Claire can be seen talking with Sampson, and V can talk, though it does not affect the outcome. After the race has started, during some point Sampson's car will break down and causes him to forfeit the race, after which a choice can be made to either pursue him, or continuing on with the race.[1]
If V chose "My priority is winning" in the conversation in the end of The Beast In Me: Santo Domingo and chose "Let him go":
- After crashing, Claire confronts him, and threatens death for the death of Dean. If V picks to let him go, V convinces Claire to give up killing Sampson, and gifts V her Beast, and Sampson gifts V his Type 66 "Cthulhu" for saving his life. Claire says that she wanted to kill him, but V says it wouldn't help, and Dean would prefer letting go of the past.
If V did not choose "My priority is winning" in the race:
- Claire kills Sampson and proceed with the dialogue options, if V gets in, and drives to the garage. She will gift V her Beast as she no longer has an use for it.
