2Scorpion’s Apollo
Minor Job: “I’ll Fly Away”
Whatever you may think about the Nomads of Cyberpunk, they know their vehicles. This fine piece of hardware is one of the best bikes in the game. Fast, easy to handle, designed for off-roading and it even handles well in the steel streets of Night City. And all it’ll cost is the life of a decent man.
In the mission, Life During Wartime, an Aldecaldos nomad named Scorpion will lose his life, and it’s kind of your fault. Thankfully, the Aldecaldos don’t lay the blame on you, but all they ask is your assistance in Scorpion’s funeral. Though it’s optional, the side quest I’ll Fly Away is worth undertaking. It’s brief, has good writing, plus a humorous ending, and after sending Scorpion’s body off, you’re rewarded with his bike. Scorpion, though your screentime was brief, your bike will forever keep your name alive.
If V had an Eddie for every time they attended a funeral and got a free bike out of it, they’d have two Eddies, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice.

When it’s over, you’ll be given Jackie’s bike, which is not only the most stylish motorbike you’ll find in the game, but also one of the fastest. Jackie may be gone, but he’s still looking out for V.
