Okay, so we know that Johnny's Engram saved V, and we know that Vik worked to also save V, but my question is, where is the bullet wound? Did Vik maybe perform some minor plastic surgery on V? Did Johnny's Engram somehow correct it?
If it is mentioned in game then I missed it, and I have played through Cyberpunk 2077 a few times now, is there something in the Lore to why V doesn't have a scar? Or is it hidden by hair? And if so, why can't we see the scar if we choose to make V bald?
This is probably a minor detail I missed, in which case, I am sorry for asking a stupid question.

Vic probably fixed it so there wouldn’t be a scar. Especially since that lore wise there are plenty of skin modifications
When your entire faceplate is swappable I dont think a bullet wound would stay.
I wondered that too but realized vik is a good ripper and maybe with the tech he’s got was able to heal the gunshot wound enough that it doesn’t leave a scar. Or V is just that guy lol
I thought he does. It’s very hard to spot. But I am sure he has it.
It was in the hair.
I think there is a bullet wound, although it is subtle

Now I wonder if it’s visible when Goro takes us.
In the cyberpunk universe you can get your skin entirely replaced if you want. There’s no way Vik is leaving V with a gaping bullet wound.
My V always has one of the scar facial options for this.
I alays add a scar afterward now, just to make it feel a little more immersive
Faceplate
Theres additional dialogue when V goes to meet Judy for the first time after the Heist, where he mentions something along the lines of “I have this to remind me of it” and points at his face. So cannonically it is there.
Nanomachines, son.
They forgot to patch it in
Super healing ability
I swear in some promotional material for V they actually did. Like a scar or indentation or something, but I might be wrong
I downloaded a bullet wound scar mod for this exact reason lol
The same way that the tattoo that Johnny gets on V’s arm is removable.
I think the non-diegetic reason is that it would suck to play the whole game as a person with a headshot wound.
I wondered this as well, so I customized my V with a scar on his forehead
The relic would have been able to repair the brain damage as it rebuilt V’s neural structure into Johnny, but surface damage to the skull and skin itself, and you’re on your own in that aspect
I imagine most of the damage is dealt to the subdermal armour that V just bought during the ripperdoc tutorial. I cannot remember if this is mentioned in 2077, but it is mentioned in the ttrpg, but just about all subdermal armour comes with self repairing nano bots that will go patch holes in your subdermals up, over the course of multiple days without being shot at. I imagine that feature hasn’t been removed as the tech got more advanced
So it’s very likely that V’s armouring in their skull would repair itself slowly with nanotech, but as for the scar on the surface level,
That’s either bodysculpting, which could clear that up ex pz, a little portion of RealSkinn, or when V gets their >!faceplate!< in phantom liberty, >!it would replace that part of their face anyways!<
Nanomachines, son!
Sigh. Questions are “immersion breaking “. lol
