Catch a Tyger’s Toe
Catch a Tyger’s Toe is an optional mission in Cyberpunk 2077 connected to Night City’s Tyger Claws criminal faction and the fixer-driven work found outside the main story.
Catch a Tyger’s Toe is side content rather than a main-story mission. It belongs to the type of short, contract-like activities that expand V’s work in Night City without being required to complete the central campaign. The mission title points to the Tyger Claws, a prominent gang whose operations and territorial influence appear throughout Night City.
The mission is associated with the Watson side of Night City’s fixer activity. As with other optional jobs, its place in the wider game is best understood through the local criminal economy: fixers provide work, V completes a targeted assignment, and the result contributes to the broader collection of stories surrounding Night City’s gangs and mercenary culture.
Reliable, mission-specific details for Catch a Tyger’s Toe—including its exact starting contact, objective sequence, encounter layout, fail conditions, and final reward—are not available in the supplied research pack and have not been independently verified here.
