Tyger and Vulture

Key takeaways

These are the practical points to keep in mind before entering the Tyger Claws site.

• Scout before entering Check the outside of the building and look for alternate approaches before crossing the main threshold. A short reconnaissance pass can reveal cameras, guards, and a safer route into the interior.
• Hacking is useful even for non-netrunners Quickhacks can disable surveillance, distract guards, or create openings for movement. You do not need a dedicated netrunner build to benefit from using the environment's connected devices.
• The location supports more than one approach Stealth and direct combat are both workable, but neither is improved by rushing blindly through the first room. Use cover and elevation when fighting, or isolate enemies when remaining undetected.
• Search the site after the objective updates Do not leave immediately when the main task appears complete. Recheck the objective area and nearby rooms for the interaction that closes the gig before travelling away.

Tyger and Vulture overview

Tyger and Vulture is an optional Regina Jones gig set in Watson. The mission centers on entering a Tyger Claws-controlled operation in Kabuki and completing Regina's objective without losing control of the encounter.

Tyger and Vulture is one of the smaller fixer jobs available during Cyberpunk 2077's Watson activities. Regina Jones directs V toward a Tyger Claws location in Kabuki, where the mission is built around infiltration rather than a long linear expedition. The area supports several approaches, so a stealth-focused character, a netrunner, and a combat-oriented build can all make progress without needing a single mandatory style.

The most useful way to approach the gig is as a compact hostile-site clear. Before committing to the interior, V should identify entrances, cameras, guards, elevated positions, and terminals that can be reached from cover. The Tyger Claws presence makes detection dangerous, but the mission does not require the player to treat every room as an immediate firefight; hacking, silent takedowns, suppressed weapons, and deliberate movement can reduce the pressure substantially.

The mission is representative of Regina Jones's Watson gigs: a focused local objective, a contained enemy area, and a payout for resolving the problem. Because the supplied material contains no verified reward list, exact prerequisite, or confirmed missable objective, those details are intentionally not stated here. The walkthrough therefore emphasizes reliable approach principles rather than unsupported room-by-room claims.

Where this sits

Requirements

The mission is presented as an optional Watson gig. No exact level, quest prerequisite, equipment requirement, or attribute check is verified by the supplied source material.

• RequiredAccess to the Watson gig areaV must be able to reach the Kabuki location and interact with Regina Jones's available gig content.
• RecommendedA combat-ready loadoutBring weapons, healing, and cyberware that can handle a hostile Tyger Claws site if stealth breaks down. No particular weapon type is required.
• OptionalA stealth or hacking optionSuppressed weapons, stealth abilities, or quickhacks make it easier to cross the site without triggering every enemy at once, but they are not presented as mandatory.

Objectives

1. Reach the Tyger Claws location in Kabuki.Follow the gig marker into the mission area and examine the available approach before entering the hostile site.
2. Infiltrate the Tyger Claws operation.Move through the location using stealth, hacking, or combat. Cameras and guards can expose V if ignored.
3. Complete Regina Jones's assigned objective.Continue through the marked area until the mission objective updates and the required interaction or confrontation is resolved.
4. Leave the area and confirm the gig's completion.After the objective changes, move away from the site or follow the updated marker until the completion state is registered.

Walkthrough

1. 01

   Reach the mission location

   Travel to Kabuki and locate the gig site

   Use the objective marker to reach the Tyger Claws-controlled location in Kabuki. Stop outside the entrance rather than immediately crossing into the compound, because the first few seconds are the best opportunity to identify guards, cameras, cover, and possible alternate access points.

   Location: Kabuki, Watson

   TipQuickly scan the area before drawing a weapon or entering combat. A short pause outside can prevent an avoidable alarm.

2. 02

   Find a way inside

   Survey the approach

   Walk the perimeter as far as the accessible route allows and look for a side entrance, open route, height advantage, or line of sight that avoids the most concentrated group of enemies. The safest route depends on V's build, so do not assume the main entrance is the intended one.

   Location: Exterior of the Tyger Claws site

   TipUse the minimap and camera indicators to separate surveillance threats from ordinary guards.

3. 03

   Enter without losing control of the approach

   Disable or bypass surveillance

   Before moving through an exposed corridor, target nearby cameras and connected devices with quickhacks or physically avoid their viewing cones. If a camera spots V, relocate behind solid cover immediately rather than trying to sprint through the rest of the site.

   Location: Entry route and outer rooms

   Watch outDetection can turn a controlled infiltration into a full site fight, especially if V remains in open ground.

4. 04

   Infiltrate the building

   Enter the occupied area

   Cross the chosen entrance and keep close to cover while checking the next room before advancing. Tyger Claws may be positioned around corners or behind interior obstacles, so move in short sections and avoid exposing V to several sightlines at once.

   Location: Interior of the Tyger Claws operation

5. 05

   Clear or bypass the first defenders

   Separate the first defenders

   If remaining hidden, distract or isolate a guard before moving past the group, then use a silent takedown or suppressed attack when the route is clear. If combat begins, retreat to a doorway or other cover instead of fighting in the center of the room.

   Location: Initial interior encounter

   TipA distraction is most useful when it creates a route forward, not merely when it moves an enemy a few steps.

6. 06

   Reach the objective area

   Advance toward the marked objective

   Follow the updated marker through the site, checking side rooms only when they can be searched without exposing V. Hack terminals and devices that help control the route, but do not let optional exploration pull V away from the active objective during an alarm.

   Location: Interior mission route

7. 07

   Complete Regina Jones's assigned task

   Resolve the main encounter

   At the objective area, use the available interaction or confront the Tyger Claws defending it, depending on how the approach has unfolded. Keep an escape route open and focus on the enemies who can flank V or force movement from cover before dealing with less immediate threats.

   Location: Objective area

   Watch outDo not leave the site simply because the immediate enemies have been defeated; wait for the objective text to update.

8. 08

   Confirm mission completion

   Check for the completion interaction

   Once the objective is complete, look for the updated marker, terminal, item, or exit instruction associated with the gig. Interact with it if required, then move out of the hostile area until the game confirms that the job has been completed.

   Location: Objective area and exit route

9. 09

   Finish the gig

   Leave Kabuki after the gig closes

   Travel away from the mission site only after the completion state appears. If the marker remains active, return to the objective area and search around the last interaction rather than assuming the mission has registered automatically.

   Location: Kabuki

   Checkpoint

Mission mechanics

The central mechanic is controlled infiltration of a hostile Tyger Claws site. Cyberpunk 2077 does not force every gig into a single solution: V can often use quickhacks to manipulate cameras and devices, move through blind spots, perform takedowns, or start a conventional gunfight when concealment is no longer practical.

Stealth is easiest when V treats each room as a separate problem. Identify the next safe piece of cover, check whether a camera can see that position, and only then move. If an enemy discovers a body or catches V briefly, breaking line of sight and changing position is generally safer than remaining beside the original cover.

Combat rewards the same preparation. Use doorways, corners, and vertical cover to limit the number of enemies who can attack at once, and avoid standing in the open while reloading or healing. The site is compact enough that a loud approach can spread quickly, so controlling the first engagement matters more than rushing toward the marker.

The gig's final state is tied to the active objective rather than simply defeating every visible enemy. After the main confrontation, follow the updated instruction and verify completion before leaving Kabuki. This prevents a common navigation mistake in which V clears the area but departs before the required interaction has registered.

What works and what does not

Checklist

• Reach the marked Tyger Claws location in Kabuki.The mission takes place in Watson's Kabuki area.
• Check the exterior for alternate approaches.Do this before entering the main route.
• Identify cameras and exposed sightlines.Disable or avoid surveillance where possible.
• Bring a reliable combat fallback.Stealth can break, so keep weapons and healing ready.
• Use cover when crossing interior spaces.Avoid fighting in the center of a room.
• Complete the marked objective.The gig is not finished merely because one encounter ends.
• Wait for the completion state before leaving.Follow the updated marker if it remains active.

Failure conditions

• V is incapacitatedAs with other combat missions, dying or being incapacitated requires a reload from the latest save or checkpoint.
• V leaves before the objective is completeIf the active objective has not updated, travelling away from the site may leave the gig unfinished. Return to the marker and complete the required interaction.
• V loses track of the objective during an alarmA firefight can make navigation unclear. Use cover to stabilize the encounter, then follow the objective marker rather than wandering through cleared rooms.

Rewards

• Gig completion reward
  Completing the mission grants the normal progression and payment associated with resolving a Regina Jones gig, but the exact reward contents are not verified here.
• Enemy loot
  Tyger Claws encountered at the site may provide ordinary equipment and item drops. The specific drop table is not confirmed.

Aftermath

Trivia

• The mission title combines the Tyger Claws reference with the name Vulture, giving the gig a compact codename-like identity.
• Tyger and Vulture is part of the optional fixer-gig content associated with Regina Jones and Watson rather than the main story path.
• The mission's contained location makes it suitable for experimenting with both stealth systems and loud combat without committing to a long quest chain.
