OBSOLETE AFTER 1.3

1.3 patch changed this quest line to be much easier to obtain. This guide is out of date.

How to get Full Metal Jackie

The FMJ questline is widely deemed to be broken, but it's not the quest triggers that are the issue, it's once again the same thing that has already been widely criticised about this game: lack of information or sometimes just blatantly false description of how things work. Here is what I did to get this ever elusive henchman.

Minor spoilers below I guess.

Step 1: Start a new game.
Yes lol, chances are in your current save you have done some side missions that will cause Jackie's mission to never even spawn in the first place. You will not be told this or why this happened, it will just never happen.

Step 2: Pick either IRIS (Recruit your computer) or Janet Bombe (Recruit the fan) as your initial henchman. Do NOT pick Jubei or Eli, despite them being top tier henchmen.

Step 3: Progress the game until you unlock Quantum Chemists. Before you get to this point you will unlock side quests for Dr. Magnolia Ming (Going Green) and Sir Daniel (Who Hunts The Hunter?). Do not even touch those quests, these are another two top tier henchmen that you need to pass on for a while.

Step 4: Once you have unlocked Quantum Chemists, Full Metal Jackie's quest should appear. It's called Heavy Metal Queen. Do the quest.

Step 5: The next quest unlocked is called Arms Race, do it. When you get to the point where the objective is to "Kill Jackie or convert her", just kill her. She will escape your lair anyway. Once you do that the quest is finished and you will unlock TWO new side quests.

Step 6: Start side quest Eighteen with a bullet. This is important, do not start the other side quest that spawns, that side quest will kill Jackie instead of capture her. Finish this ridiculously long quest.

Step 7: PROFIT! You should now have unlocked Full Metal Jackie as henchman. You can now go get all the other top tier henchmen that you had to pass on until now.

NOTE: If at any point a new side quest that was meant to pop up does not appear, you might have ran into the active side quest limit. I'd suggest doing one of your loot/minion quests then, and once you finish that the next part of Jackie's quest should appear.

GLHF and hope this clears some things up

I also discovered a second way to hevy metal jacky missions, you need to have espectro. and you can't do his mission to get quantum physicists either. then you have to complete 4 missions of the plot and only then perform 1 espectro missions. after that, the mission of heavy metal appeared to me. and I already had Dr. Ming recruited.

You should now be able to recruit her with no problems once you start reaching the end game missions, regardless of what minions or henchmen or loot you have.

If I complete the loot and minion recruitment missions, can I also recruit Full Metal Jackie ?

If you have the "Cabal" DLC pack, none of this is necessary... Full Metal Jackie's quests will appear at the appropriate time as she's part of Espectro's cabal (along with Eli, Sir Daniel and Janet Bombe). When you reach the appropriate point in the main story FMJ will unlock no matter what henchmen you have.

I think this may be obsolete now. I think they patched it so that you can get her easier now.

I reloaded a previous save and I executed one of my henchmen because I was at the cap. If you have 5 henchmen by the time you defeat Jackie in Arms Race then you won't get the option to kill or recruit her. A moment of silence for Janet :P

EvilJoshy 28 Apr, 2021 @ 11:49am

I actually grabbed Janet at the start of my 2nd play through. However I already recruited Jubei and Eli before I even heard about Full Metal Jackie. Then after the patch her quest popped up out of no where. When I was doing arms race quest the option to capture her was greyed out. So I killed her and she took off. The quest finished without me hitting collect reward. Now I don't see the side quest eighteen with a bullet or any way to progress now. I hope I didn't screw myself over.

I think the last patch calcels out all of this. Thx though.
