To complete all gigs in Watson, players must undertake a variety of contract jobs provided primarily by Regina Jones, Night City’s fixer for the district. These gigs, distinct from side jobs, involve tasks such as stealth, combat, or retrieval across Watson’s sub-districts like Little China, Kabuki, and Northside, and are typically unlocked by progressing the main story, receiving calls, or discovering their icons on the in-game map.
Introduction to Watson Gigs
Watson, as the initial district in Cyberpunk 2077, offers a substantial number of gigs that are crucial for V’s progression, allowing players to earn eddies, experience, and Street Cred. These contract jobs are smaller and more focused than side jobs, providing a direct way to engage with the district’s underbelly. Regina Jones serves as the primary fixer in Watson, assigning V tasks that often reflect the district’s character as a hub for immigrants and enterprising individuals, frequently involving gang disputes, corporate espionage, or dealing with the consequences of Night City’s harsh realities. Unlike side jobs, gigs are categorized by type, which is indicated on the map and in the journal, giving players a clear understanding of the mission’s nature before undertaking it.
Completing these gigs is not just about the immediate rewards; it also significantly contributes to V’s reputation, unlocking further opportunities within Watson and other districts of Night City. The variety of gig types ensures that players will encounter diverse challenges, from straightforward gun-for-hire missions to more intricate thievery or agent saboteur operations.

The “Tap to Reveal” in the reward section indicates that specific rewards were not detailed in the provided sources, but players can expect eddies, experience, and Street Cred.
Cyberpsycho Sightings in Watson
Beyond standard gigs, Regina Jones also assigns V Cyberpsycho Sightings, which are a specialized type of gig. These encounters are mini-boss fights against dangerous cyberpsychos, individuals who have succumbed to cyberware-induced psychosis. Successfully neutralizing these threats requires careful planning, combat prowess, and often a strategic approach to avoid lethal force, as Regina prefers that cyberpsychos be taken alive if possible.
| Cyberpsycho Sighting Name | Location |
|---|---|
| Lt. Mower | Kabuki |
| Demons at War | Kabuki |
| Where the Bodies Hit the Floor | Northside |
| Six Feet Under | Northside |
| Ticket to the Major Leagues | Little China |
| Bloody Ritual | Northside |
These sightings are crucial for understanding the darker side of Night City’s technological advancements and the toll it takes on its inhabitants. Each Cyberpsycho presents a unique challenge, often with environmental factors that can be used to V’s advantage. For example, “Lt. Mower” in Kabuki might require exploiting the urban environment for cover, while “Bloody Ritual” in Northside could involve navigating a more open or industrial setting. It’s important to note that the “Psycho Killer” side job, which is related to Cyberpsycho Sightings, was potentially bugged as of June 22, 2026.
Accessing and Tracking Watson Quests
Finding and managing quests in Cyberpunk 2077’s Watson district is designed to be user-friendly, with quests becoming available through several in-game mechanisms. The primary trigger for unlocking new content, including gigs and side jobs, is progression through the main story. As V advances through the narrative, new opportunities will naturally arise.
Beyond main story progression, quests can also be initiated through various interactive elements within the game world. Often, V will receive a call or a message from a fixer like Regina Jones, a client, or another contact, detailing a new opportunity. These communications automatically add the quest to V’s Journal and mark it on the in-game Map, making it easy to track. Players can then tackle these quests at their convenience, choosing which ones to prioritize based on their current objectives or preferred playstyle. The game’s interface ensures that players are always aware of available quests, whether they are in Little China, Kabuki, or Northside.
