During Act 4, Lance has one death scene in the "Control" juncture from getting stabbed in the eye by Patrick Heusinger repeatedly. In Act 4's "Surrender" juncture, Lance gets killed once when Marshall Allman reactivates an automated defense system that lets him apparently get sucked in by the Chronon Field Regulator device, and dies a second time after being fatally shot by Brooke Nevin in self-defense. Regardless of the number of deaths Lance has suffered throughout the course of the game, he is still alive by the game's epilogue.
