The Heisenberg Principle
This is IGN’s Cyberpunk 2077 walkthrough for The Heisenberg Principle, one of many Watson Gigs. Continue reading below for our Tips and Tricks on how to finish this mission without too much trouble.
The Heisenberg Principle is an Agent Saboteur gig revolving around a dangerous drug called glitter. It’s supposedly much easier to overdose on than other drugs. A woman named Arati Kapoor reached out to Regina Jones to get back at the people making this drug after her son passed away from it. Here’s where you come in to destroy their lab.

The Heisenberg Principle Walkthrough
Regina Jones warned in her initial text that the lab is filled with Tyger Claws gang members to watch out for. While you can sneak in, you’ll likely need to take out a few people still. Especially since this gig forces you to create a large explosion that’s bound to turn some heads. The front door has a few members you’ll need to distract or blind to get past them quietly. Fortunately, there’s a nearby dumpster for hiding bodies.
Once you get past the front door, beware of a camera in the garage. Disabling this and then heading downstairs leads to a lot of cover you can hide behind. There’s also a level 9 Technical Ability door you can take advantage of. Otherwise, continue following the mission marker to the right. You’ll come across two more gang members having a conversation. If you distract the girl, you can continue deeper into the lab.
The lab has several red lights so you’ll know when you’re there for sure. There will be three people down here that tend to not look at each other. If you want to take them out with stealth takedowns, it shouldn’t be too tough. Whether you take them out or not, your main goal for The Heisenberg Principle is to blow up the massive tanks down here. Be sure to do it from far away because there’s a large explosion.
Assuming anyone still alive is now on alert, get ready to fight your way out. Head back up the way you came in and try to escape. Once you exit the yellow area shown on the minimap, The Heisenberg Principle gig will be complete. Regina Jones will call you with your reward so long as you’re not in combat still.
