Jackie Welles is one of the most memorable characters in Cyberpunk 2077, leaving a lasting impression on players during the opening hours of Night City. Following the dramatic events of The Heist, players have an opportunity to collect his signature dual pistols, La Chingona Dorada. Obtaining these iconic weapons requires making specific narrative decisions and visiting a key location later in the game.
Critical Quest Choices During The Heist
The journey to acquiring Jackie's sidearms begins in the immediate aftermath of the Arasaka Tower heist. When Delamain asks V where to take Jackie's body, your decision directly dictates whether the weapons become accessible. To ensure you can retrieve the pistols, you must choose to send his remains to his family or instruct Delamain to wait for you.
If you choose to send his body to Viktor Vector, Arasaka agents will intercept the transport. This decision locks out the memorial ceremony side quest, preventing the pistols from spawning later. Making the right choice ensures you unlock the necessary follow-up mission, Heroes, which honors Jackie's legacy.
Completing the Heroes Side Quest
After selecting the correct path, Mama Welles will reach out to V to invite them to a ofrenda in El Coyote Cojo bar. Participating in this emotional tribute allows players to celebrate Jackie's life alongside his loved ones. Following daily gaming news often reminds RPG fans how choice-driven storytelling enriches companion storylines like this one.
During the quest, you can explore Jackie's garage with Misty to select an offering for the altar. Completing the ceremony and speaking with Mama Welles resolves the main storyline of the quest. However, the iconic pistols will not immediately be available on the altar during the ceremony itself.
Exact Location of Jackie's Dual Pistols
To claim La Chingona Dorada, you must leave El Coyote Cojo after the ofrenda and wait twenty-four hours in-game. Returning to the bar after this time skip reveals the dual pistols resting directly on the memorial altar inside. Simply approach the altar and pick up both handguns to add them permanently to your inventory.
These Power Pistols boast unique statistical bonuses, including increased burn chance and faster reload speeds. Displaying them in V's apartment armory also fills a designated slot on the stash wall. Securing both weapons serves as a fitting tribute to your former mercenary partner in Night City.
