Edgewood Farm

Key takeaways

• Edgewood Farm is in the eastern Badlands, within the wider Rocky Ridge Plains area, not in Laguna Bend itself.
• The playable property consists of a farmhouse, barn, yard and defensive perimeter. Nearby Badlands scenery and roads should not automatically be treated as part of the farm.
• The farm is visited during The Hunt, River Ward’s side job, after the Braindance investigation identifies Randy’s location.
• Its main threats are mines, cameras and automated turrets, rather than ordinary human enemies.
• The best initial route is through the farmhouse, where a concealed room contains a terminal capable of disabling much of the perimeter security.
• Entering the wrong farm first, or leaving Edgewood during the rescue, can change the outcome for Randy and the other victims.

About this guide

Overview

Edgewood Farm is a remote Badlands farmstead and the final investigation site in The Hunt, one of River Ward’s side jobs. It is not a broad district or a settlement with several independent neighbourhoods. In the base game, “Edgewood Farm” refers principally to the enclosed Harris property: the farmhouse, the barn, the surrounding yard and the farm’s automated security perimeter.

The location appears ordinary from a distance, but its role in the story is anything but. Anthony Harris, the serial abductor known publicly as the “Peter Pan” killer or “Meatman”, used the abandoned farm as a hidden torture site. V and River travel there to find River’s nephew Randy Kutcher, who is being held inside the barn with several other victims.

Edgewood Farm is therefore best understood as a mission location rather than a conventional open-world activity area. It has no normal shop district, resident population, gang hideout or repeatable combat encounter. Its important content is concentrated in one tense infiltration and rescue sequence.

Where Edgewood Farm is located

Edgewood Farm lies in the eastern Badlands of Night City, in the wider Rocky Ridge Plains area. It is remote, surrounded by scrubland and wet woodland rather than by a developed settlement. The farm’s isolation is important to the story because it gives Anthony Harris a secluded place in which to hide victims and operate without immediate interference.

The named farm should be separated from neighbouring Badlands places:

The available location material identifies the farm’s street as Edgewood Lane, although the game’s practical navigation is more concerned with the mission marker and the enclosed property than with formal street signage.

What counts as the farm

For a clear guide boundary, Edgewood Farm should be divided into four functional parts:

The farm is not presented as a town with separate named streets or businesses. The buildings are best treated as functional parts of one property rather than as independent named locations.

   The barn and former agricultural area The large structure where Randy and the other victims are held. This is the mission’s principal objective area.

Farmhouse

The farmhouse is the safest first destination during The Hunt. It contains the most useful opportunity for reducing the farm’s defences and provides additional evidence about Anthony Harris.

There are several access possibilities depending on V’s attributes and approach:

Inside, search the rooms rather than rushing directly to the barn. A computer and environmental clues point towards a concealed section of the building. The relevant button is located beneath a desk. Activating it opens a hidden room containing another computer or control terminal. Using that terminal disables the farm’s turrets and cameras, leaving the mines as the principal remaining hazard.

Barn

The barn is the central mission structure. In its original agricultural role, it belonged to the Harris farmstead. By 2077, it has been converted into a horrific captivity and torture facility.

Randy is connected to a Braindance machine inside the barn. Other victims are also held there, and V can assist in rescuing them after dealing with Randy’s immediate danger. The barn can be entered from the ground, but the safer route is to approach the left side of the entrance, find the ladder and use the roof opening. This route reduces exposure to the heavily defended main approach, particularly if the security system has not yet been shut down.

Enclosed yard and perimeter

The yard is enclosed by a substantial barrier and protected by automated security. The major hazards are:

The turrets and cameras can be disabled through the concealed control room in the farmhouse. Mines remain a danger and must still be spotted or avoided. The yard is therefore not simply a combat arena. It is primarily a navigation and hazard-management space.

Reaching Edgewood Farm

Edgewood Farm becomes relevant through The Hunt, after V and River investigate a series of Braindances connected to Anthony Harris. The Braindances contain visual and audio clues from three periods of Harris’s life:

The final Braindance includes clues such as the solar equipment, farm identification details, victims and other features that allow River and V to identify Edgewood. If V gathers enough evidence, River identifies the location directly. If not, the player must select the correct farm from the available choices. The correct answer is Edgewood Farm.

Recommended approach

Use the following route for the least hazardous infiltration:

This approach is not the only possible route, but it is the most reliable for reducing the number of simultaneous threats. The farmhouse security terminal is especially valuable if V has no suitable stealth build or if the player wants to avoid spending time disarming individual defences.

Recommended approach: steps

1. 01
   Arrive with River and remain inside the mission area.
2. 02
   Do not run directly across the yard to the barn.
3. 03
   Approach the farmhouse on the right-hand side of the property.
4. 04
   Enter through the front, rear or roof route according to V’s attributes and position.
5. 05
   Search the farmhouse for the computer and the switch beneath the desk.
6. 06
   Open the concealed room.
7. 07
   Use the security terminal to disable the cameras and turrets.
8. 08
   Leave the farmhouse carefully, watching for mines.
9. 09
   Move towards the left side of the barn.
10. 10
    Climb the ladder to the roof.
11. 11
    Enter the barn through the roof opening.
12. 12
    Disable the Braindance machine connected to Randy.
13. 13
    Help the other captives where possible.
14. 14
    Return to River when the mission directs you to do so.

Attribute-based access

The exact attribute threshold can vary with game version, character progression and the condition of the relevant door. If a check is unavailable, use the roof route rather than treating the building as inaccessible.

Story-associated characters

Edgewood Farm has no normal resident population in its 2077 mission state. The named people associated with it are mainly victims, investigators or the perpetrator.

Automated defences

The farm’s defences are the location’s defining gameplay feature. The property is protected by:

The cameras and turrets can be disabled from the hidden security room. If the player chooses not to use the central terminal, individual security devices may still be dealt with through hacking or direct interaction where available. The mines remain active unless individually handled or avoided.

The security system also explains why the farm feels abandoned but not unprotected. It is not guarded by a visible gang patrol. Instead, the property’s perimeter continues to defend the site automatically.

Mission failure hazards

If the player wants the best outcome, Edgewood should be selected as soon as the evidence or choice sequence allows, and V should remain on the property until the victims are safe.

---

Two failure conditions are particularly important

Before travelling

During the preceding Braindance investigation, search for as many clues as possible. In particular, pay attention to:

Finding sufficient clues allows River to recognise Edgewood without relying on a blind guess. Some optional Braindance objectives can disappear once enough evidence has been collected, so do not assume that every clue remains scannable after the game confirms the location.

At the farm

The mission is designed to create pressure rather than to reward clearing every hostile target. Stealth, hacking and careful movement are usually more useful than an aggressive assault.

At the farm: steps

1. 01
   Follow River into the property.
2. 02
   Avoid crossing the open yard unnecessarily.
3. 03
   Enter the farmhouse.
4. 04
   Search the computer areas and inspect the room layout.
5. 05
   Locate the switch beneath the desk.
6. 06
   Open the hidden security room.
7. 07
   Use the computer inside to disable the farm’s cameras and turrets.
8. 08
   Cross the yard while watching for mines.
9. 09
   Reach the barn’s left side.
10. 10
    Climb onto the roof.
11. 11
    Enter through the opening.
12. 12
    Find Randy connected to the Braindance equipment.
13. 13
    Shut down the machine before River attempts to remove him.
14. 14
    Help the remaining victims.
15. 15
    Respond to River’s call and complete the confrontation with Anthony’s consequences.

After the rescue

Once the victims have been dealt with, the farm’s narrative purpose is largely complete. The subsequent dialogue with River determines how V responds to Anthony Harris and can affect the continuation of River’s storyline.

Players pursuing River’s romance should be especially careful. Selecting a response that dismisses River’s desire for justice can prevent the later romance path from developing. The exact dialogue requirements belong to River’s broader storyline, but the Edgewood confrontation is one of its important decision points.

Mission evidence

The farm and its related Braindances provide evidence rather than a conventional loot reward. Important discoveries include:

The principal reward for the location is progression through The Hunt and River Ward’s storyline, rather than a named weapon, shop inventory or property purchase.

Loot and equipment

The farm contains ordinary containers and mission-area loot, but the available evidence does not support treating it as a dedicated loot farm or a reliable source of specific random drops. Any unmarked ammunition, components or incidental equipment should be considered ordinary level loot unless the game explicitly identifies it.

Community videos and forum posts sometimes refer to a perk shard or other hidden item near the Edgewood area. These reports are not sufficiently consistent or authoritative to establish a canonical collectible directory for this guide. They may refer to nearby terrain, a version-specific object or a separate undisclosed location.

---

Businesses and services

No functional businesses are verified within Edgewood Farm in the base game. The farm is not:

Its former connection to Biotechnica belongs to the farm’s backstory and does not mean that Biotechnica operates a shop or facility there during the mission.

---

The Harris family farm

In the 2040s, Edgewood Farm was a dairy farm run by the Harris family. The family joined Biotechnica’s TradFarm Initiative, a franchise-style agricultural arrangement in which Biotechnica supplied livestock and materials and distributed the resulting products. The arrangement protected the farm from more direct corporate competition, but left the family dependent on the megacorporation.

The farm struggled because the cattle did not thrive in the modern Californian environment. Its declining condition, isolation and the family’s personal problems form the background to Anthony Harris’s later crimes. According to the available Cyberpunk RED material, the farm also relied on extensive defensive measures because of the dangers of the Badlands.

Anthony Harris and Peter Pan

Anthony grew up at Edgewood Farm and attended school in nearby Laguna Bend. After his father’s death, Anthony was adopted by foster parents from Laguna Bend. In later life he became the serial criminal known as Peter Pan, abducting young people and using the abandoned farm to imprison and torture them.

The farm’s transformation is central to the mission’s symbolism. Agricultural spaces, livestock equipment and ideas about feeding and breeding are repurposed into a human captivity system. The Braindances deliberately blur childhood memories, farm imagery and later crimes, making the player question how much of Anthony’s recollection is reliable while still exposing the damage caused by his actions.

Separate continuities

These are related depictions of the same setting across different periods, but not identical gameplay states. The farm’s dairy history belongs to the earlier period, while the fortified torture site and rescue operation belong to the 2077 mission.

Before leaving the area, check that you have:

---

Is Edgewood Farm part of Laguna Bend?

No. It is a separate farmstead in the Badlands. Laguna Bend is nearby and is connected to Anthony Harris’s childhood, but it is not a subarea of Edgewood Farm.

Is Poppy Farm the same location?

No. Poppy Farm is a different farm considered during the investigation. Selecting the wrong farm can cause the rescue outcome to fail.

Can I return to Edgewood Farm after The Hunt?

The surrounding Badlands can be revisited, and the location is associated with an open-world fast-travel point. However, the farm’s meaningful content is tied to The Hunt, and there is no verified repeatable quest, shop or persistent resident activity there.

Are there enemies at Edgewood Farm?

The principal threats are automated defences rather than a conventional group of human enemies. The yard contains mines, cameras and turrets. The mission’s main human antagonistic presence is Anthony Harris, whose role is handled through the quest sequence.

Can I disable all the defences?

You can disable the cameras and turrets from the hidden security room in the farmhouse. Mines still need to be avoided or dealt with separately.

What happens if I leave the farm?

Leaving during the rescue can result in River and Randy dying. Stay within the mission area until the victims have been dealt with and River’s instructions are complete.

Is there a shop or unique vendor here?

No functional shop or vendor is verified at the farm. It is a mission location, not a commercial settlement.

The following points are not stated as confirmed facts because the available evidence is incomplete or inconsistent:

Accordingly, this guide treats Edgewood Farm as a mission-centred farmstead with clearly verified structures and hazards, rather than claiming that every nearby Badlands object belongs to the location.
