The Cyberpunk 2077 The Gig mission might be short, but it's quite confusing. All you really need to do is wait by killing time around Night City, before collecting rewards from Wakako and Cassius Ryder. Since this mission occurs quite early on though, you're not alone if you find yourself stuck and want to know how to ensure the game progresses. Here's what you need to do, and also an explainer of a common bug The Gig in Cyberpunk 2077 can sometimes cause.

Cyberpunk 2077 The Gig explained

First up is waiting for the lockdown to end. This one is simple; all you need to do is keep playing the game, progressing with story and side missions, until you're notified that the lockdown in Watson is over and you can explore the rest of the open world including Heywood, City Centre, the Badlands, and more. You'll know when it's lifted because your objective for The Gig will update.

Next you need to head over to Wakako, the fixer located on Jig-Jig Street in Japantown. Talk to her and tell her that she still owes you for Sandra Dorsett, and she'll give you a few thousand eddies for your trouble. She also tells you to go to Cassius Ryder's ripperdoc shop inventory to get another reward: a dermo-implant with smart-gun compatibility.

The "Tattoo: Tyger Claws Dermal Imprint" should be available for free under the Hands section of Ryder's store. That's literally all there is to it, because The Gig should be complete when you leave Ryder's store.

It's worth noting that in my initial playthrough, this objective bugged for the entire time. Thankfully, the reward itself isn't particularly great, so don't be too worried if it bugs for you.
