What happens when you finish every gig?

[Kragwulf]

I've been doing that thing where I don't ever touch the main story and complete all of the side content the second I get access to it.

I've already 100%'d Regina, Sebastian, and Muamar. I'm kind of worried I'm going to burn the game through and have nothing to do besides the main questline and NCPD alerts. Is there a system for gigs to randomly generate, or is every gig a scripted mission that once you complete is done?

Gigs are basically side-quests given to you through Fixers, so yes they're finite. On the map you can see how much each Fixer has.

Which is why I personally avoid using the map and the GPS, so I can come across things naturally as I'm exploring. Makes the city feel more lively.

I did the same, I mean finished every side mission/gig that became available before continuing the story, eventually I got Level 50 while main story wise I was literally just after the prologue in the true open world before continuing the main story

You'll get more gigs from different people the further into the story you get, but as for what you get, each fully completed gigs you complete for someone, they give you a reward in your stash & I'm pretty sure they give you iconic weaponry

I never actually checked to see if the stash on your vehicle actually works rather than going to the apartment, I guess it's something I have to test in a future playthrough if I decide to play it again

Good Luck & Have Fun

Unfortunately once you do all the gigs they are done and no new ones will appear.
Tho it's not all that bad, you will still have plenty of side missions to do, they are mostly even better than gigs, they are longer and their story more in depth. They also unlock continuously after finishing main story quests so it's not like you are left with main missions only.

Every main job, side job, gig is scripted. That's how CDPR roll. They (at least as of now) don't do randomly generated quests. The rationale being that random quests usually are kinda arbitrary (and boring), whereas with scripted quests, you can tell a story. Now, I'll be the first to admit that not ever gig in CP2077 is a masterpiece in storytelling (though some are pretty cool), but that's not an argument for generated quests but one for putting more effort (and time and money) into quest design. So, there ... and yes, one of the effects is: At some point you'll have done every job there is and have nothing left to do but kill respawns or explore the world to find all the hidden easter eggs, shards, etc. And after that you'll have mostly sucked the game dry.

Wow, having to do the main story of 2077. What a disaster...

If you complete everything, then you're stuck with what's left in the world:
- Apartments
- Clubs
- Arcade Minigame
- Cars to drive if you bought or stole one
- Random enemies in the world to fight
- Joytoys

and finally:
- Whatever mods that you happen to have installed that increase activities in the world.


edit:
That's based on literally completing the meat and potatoes of this game, gigs - stories - ncpd events.

edit:
Once everything is done, it's done for good.

Some people like to switch the order around.
In the case of CP2077 I actually recommend doing the main story first and leave the side quests for later, at least once. Because by doing that, you won't be sooo very OP. Feels like the main story was scaled to be finished by ... roundabout ... lvl 20 (give and take a few and unless you want the secret ending). So, if you do all the side content first, things will turn into a cakewalk quickly.

:(
After I finish every gig/NCPD, I go and meet Takamura ('cos the others are only triggered at specific quest-stages).

You get rewards sent to V's main apartment stash when ya get them done for each region

well technically yes and no, a player could stop after heist mission if they really wanted too, not that far in
