Tracking down rogue cyberpsychos across Night City is one of the most engaging side activities in Cyberpunk 2077. Among these encounters, the House on a Hill contract stands out due to its heavily fortified location and tricky objective requirements. Understanding how to approach this farmstead safely ensures you complete the mission smoothly without getting overwhelmed by automated defenses.
Where to Find the House on a Hill Sighting
The House on a Hill encounter takes place in the eastern Badlands region, north of the main highway. Players can easily reach the Greene Homestead farm site by driving east from Night City toward the desert outskirts. The gig triggers automatically once you approach the fenced compound after completing the Life During Wartime main mission.
Navigating the Homestead Security
Infiltrating the homestead requires caution because the property is guarded by active security systems. Drones patrol the surrounding yard, while automated turrets are positioned on the roof of the main house. Sneaking through the opening in the perimeter fence allows players to disable these systems quietly before engaging the primary target.
Defeating the Target Sam Milton
The cyberpsycho hiding inside the garage is a war veteran named Sam Milton. He relies on a high-damage double-barrel shotgun infused with thermal damage to crush intruders at close range. Maintaining distance with long-range firepower or utilizing quickhacks is the safest way to take him down.
Gathering Essential Clues to Finish the Mission
Defeating the target is only the first phase of completing the contract. Players must search the area to collect information, which includes looting the required shard directly from Sam Milton's body. Another vital shard must be picked up from a fallen body located outside near the side of the house. Sending the gathered information in a quick text message to Regina Jones officially closes the gig.
