Many choices can be made to kill or save the Hackett family in The Quarry, though not every family member will be spared from a morbid demise. The Hackett family are simultaneously the victims and villains of The Quarry, depending on the perspective one wishes to view the story. Their violent outbursts may cause enough damage for some to view them as a threat to the survival of the nine characters that can be controlled, while specific details about the family's history may warrant mercy for the who can be saved. Nonetheless, the Hackett family is complicated, and saving as many as possible may prove to be challenging.
Killing the Hacketts in chapter nine will help save every main character in The Quarry, though all nine can be kept alive without having to kill any of them in that specific chapter. Furthermore, Kaylee Hackett's death will always occur regardless of the decisions that are made. There are also a couple of the main characters who will need to die in order for the entire Hackett family to live.
The Hackett family that can be saved or killed are Bobby, Constance, Chris, Jedidiah, Caleb, and Travis. Unfortunately, not all of the family can be saved in a single playthrough. Additionally, there isn't an outcome where all Hacket family and all of the camp counselors can live at the end of the game, so intentional decisions should be made to do one or the other when looking for a specific ending in The Quarry.
How To Save The Hackett Family In The Quarry
- Bobby Hackett: To save Bobby, leave the knife in Ryan for Bobby to later pull out in his fight against Chris. Also, have Ryan shoot Chris with the shotgun.
- Chris Hackett: Chris can be saved by killing Laura with the shotgun after she becomes a werewolf.
- Travis Hackett: Travis can be kept alive by never making a decision that will mortally wound him. Additionally, be sure to have Laura use the syringe on him instead of shooting him when she's in the cell. This will allow Travis, Laura, and Ryan to team up and kill Silas at the end of the game.
- Caleb Hackett: Don't shoot Caleb as he chases after Kaitlyn. Instead, choose the option to run every time it is available.
- Constance Hackett: When Laura and Constance wrestle for the gun, fail the QTE to keep her alive. Additionally, be sure to save Laura in The Quarry by killing Chris. If Chris is alive, then will die.
- Jedidiah Hackett: To keep Jedidiah alive, choose to run away instead of attacking him. Similar to Constance, kill Chris to ensure he doesn't kill Jedidiah as well.
