Metro: Charter Hill

Metro: Charter Hill is an NCART station and fast-travel point in Charter Hill, one of the three subdistricts of Westbrook.

Importancemajor

Key takeaways

  • Metro Charter Hill is a station, not the boundary of Charter Hill. The station sits within the larger Westbrook subdistrict.
  • The wider subdistrict has six named fast-travel points listed by regional map guides: Dynalar, Longshore South, Luxury Apartments, Lele Park, Metro: Charter Hill and Gold Niwaki Plaza.
  • Three base-game gigs are assigned to Charter Hill Tyger and Vulture, Until Death Do Us Part and Family Heirloom. The first two are Wakako Okada jobs; Family Heirloom is given by Rogue Amendiares.
  • Kraviz’s Clinic is the district’s verified functional ripperdoc, while Game8’s vendor directory lists no weapon vendor in Charter Hill.
  • Charter Hill connects to the wider NCART system through the Charter Hill station, which is listed on more than one line in published metro maps, making it useful for cross-city travel.
  • The most notable unique missable reward is Johnny’s shoes, found during Family Heirloom.

About this guide

Scope: Cyberpunk 2077, base game, including the wider Charter Hill subdistrict where it is necessary to explain the station’s setting and routes. Phantom Liberty and Dogtown are excluded. Status: Research-based guide. The game does not provide a formal street-by-street boundary description for the station, and several decorative buildings around it are unnamed. The named directories below therefore distinguish verified entries from broader environmental observations rather than claiming unsupported completeness.

Overview

Metro: Charter Hill is an NCART station and fast-travel point in Charter Hill, one of the three subdistricts of Westbrook. It is not the name of the whole neighbourhood. The wider area includes the station, corporate campuses, apartment towers, parks, commercial streets, a ripperdoc clinic, mission locations and several other fast-travel points.

That distinction matters. A player looking for “Metro: Charter Hill” may be directed to the station marker, while a guide to “Charter Hill” covers a much larger section of Night City. The station is best treated as a transport hub and navigation anchor, not as a self-contained dungeon, business district or quest location.

Charter Hill is presented as a comparatively comfortable Westbrook neighbourhood for people who can afford a better standard of living than residents of the poorer districts. Its broad visual language is corporate and residential: glass-fronted offices, landscaped walkways, elevated roads, apartment blocks, controlled access points and heavily branded technology campuses. It is safer and cleaner than much of Night City, but “safe” does not mean peaceful. Gigs, criminal activity, hostile security and gang-controlled interiors all sit close to the polished public spaces.

What the name means

There are two related but different uses of “Charter Hill”:

The station marker does not define the neighbourhood’s outer limits. The wider subdistrict sits between other parts of Westbrook and the surrounding urban road network. In practical play, the map’s subdistrict label is more useful than trying to assign a precise physical boundary to every road, canal, retaining wall or elevated motorway.

The public game map identifies Charter Hill as one of Westbrook’s three subdistricts, alongside Japantown and North Oak.

What the name means: steps

  1. 01
    Charter Hill station, the NCART stop and fast-travel marker.
  2. 02
    Charter Hill subdistrict, a broad Westbrook area containing multiple streets, buildings, mission spaces and fast-travel points.

Character of the area

Charter Hill is one of the clearer examples of Night City’s class geography. It is not the ultimate luxury district, a role associated more strongly with North Oak, but it offers privacy, security and modern housing to corporate employees, professionals and other relatively affluent residents.

Do not confuse Charter Hill’s polished appearance with a complete absence of hostile activity. Its crimes are usually framed around corporate security, gang operations, theft and controlled-access buildings rather than open street warfare.

---

The game does not expose a formal internal hierarchy below Charter Hill in the same way that it labels Westbrook and its three subdistricts. The following grouping is therefore practical rather than an official subdivision.

Station and transport area

The station is a fast-travel access point and a useful starting position for exploring the central part of the subdistrict. It is not a major mission hub on the scale of Afterlife, Kabuki Market or the various apartment complexes. Its main function is to move V into or out of Charter Hill.

Verified transport points in Charter Hill

These names are listed as Charter Hill fast-travel locations by regional map guides.

The station is especially useful when approaching jobs from another district. Published NCART maps place Charter Hill on lines B and E, with onward connections through stations elsewhere in Night City. The exact line presentation can vary between community maps, but the important gameplay fact is that the station is part of the functional NCART fast-travel network rather than merely decorative scenery.

Verified transport points in Charter Hill

Corporate and technology zone

Charter Hill contains several large technology and corporate properties. The best documented is the Dynalar Complex, identified as Dynalar’s regional headquarters in the 2077 setting.

The wider area also contains a prominent Kiroshi-linked complex or campus-like facility. Kiroshi branding is visible in the environment, and the site appears in environmental encounters and exploration footage, but not every visible building has a formally exposed location name in the game interface. A guide should therefore distinguish the named Dynalar Complex from unnamed or ambiguously labelled Kiroshi structures.

Residential and commercial zone

Charter Hill’s residential side includes apartment towers, landscaped public spaces, footbridges and commercial fronts. Several locations function as mission destinations rather than ordinary shopping areas.

The Luxury Apartments fast-travel point is particularly important because it provides a convenient approach to Until Death Do Us Part. That gig takes V to an apartment high above the street, where the target shard is protected by cameras, drones and access routes that can be opened through attributes or by using the exterior approach.

Named residential or public places

The Palm Street apartment and Crockett Street parking lot are mission-location descriptions rather than evidence that the entire surrounding block is separately named on the world map.

Named residential or public places

From other districts

The simplest way to reach the area is by fast travel to Metro: Charter Hill or one of the neighbouring Charter Hill dataterms. NCART is also usable as a diegetic transport system after the relevant metro functionality is available.

By road, Charter Hill is approached through Westbrook’s connected urban routes. Because the district is built around elevated roads, pedestrian paths and split-level streets, the shortest route on the map is not always the easiest route on foot. If a marker appears to be directly above or below V, look for:

Recommended local route

For a first exploration of the wider subdistrict:

This route is more efficient than treating the station and each gig as isolated locations.

---

Recommended local route: steps

  1. 01
    Start at Metro: Charter Hill. Use the station as your orientation point rather than immediately chasing a distant activity marker.
  2. 02
    Move towards the corporate side of the neighbourhood. Look for Dynalar branding and the large guarded campuses.
  3. 03
    Continue towards the residential blocks and public walkways. This connects naturally with the Luxury Apartments and Gold Niwaki Plaza fast-travel areas.
  4. 04
    Visit Kraviz’s Clinic. This is the principal verified service stop in the area.
  5. 05
    Use Longshore South as the approach for Tyger and Vulture.
  6. 06
    Use Luxury Apartments as the approach for Until Death Do Us Part.
  7. 07
    Use Dynalar as the approach for Family Heirloom, which takes place at a parking lot on Crockett Street.

Kraviz’s Clinic

Kraviz’s Clinic is Charter Hill’s verified ripperdoc location. It is associated with Nina Kraviz and provides cyberware installation and purchasing services. The available stock depends on the game version, V’s level and the relevant cyberware progression systems.

Game8’s Charter Hill vendor listing identifies Kraviz’s Clinic and lists examples of available cyberware, including:

The exact rarity and stock should be checked in the current playthrough because cyberware availability is progression-sensitive.

Shops and ordinary services

The available directory evidence does not support claiming that Charter Hill contains a conventional weapon shop. Game8 explicitly lists no weapon vendor for the subdistrict.

Charter Hill does contain branded storefronts, food stands, decorative businesses and background commercial spaces, but a business sign alone is not proof that the location offers a functional service. Treat most unnamed or non-interactive premises as scenery unless the game presents a shop interface, vendor dialogue or mission interaction.

Not confirmed as functional without further in-game verification

Residents and named characters

The station itself has no documented resident cast. Most named people associated with Charter Hill appear because of missions rather than because they permanently inhabit the station area.

Story-associated characters

These characters should not all be treated as Charter Hill residents. Some are mission contacts, targets or names found in job briefings.

Ordinary NPCs

The regular population reflects Charter Hill’s social position:

The game does not provide a complete census or fixed list of named residents for the neighbourhood. Crowd composition can also change according to time, nearby combat, mission state and streaming behaviour.

Factions and security

The most clearly documented hostile groups in the area are:

Faction control is not uniform across the entire subdistrict. Charter Hill is not a single gang territory. Instead, different properties use different security arrangements, and mission interiors can be more hostile than the public streets around them.

---

Gigs directory

The base-game Charter Hill gig list contains three entries.

Gigs directory

Tyger and Vulture

Type: Thievery Giver: Wakako Okada Target: Vortex’s credchip Location: Tyger Claws casino near Longshore South Main opposition: Tyger Claws

This gig sends V into a concealed casino space. The approach can be handled through stealth, hacking or direct combat. Guides identify the location as an underground casino accessed through a tunnel or canal-side route near the Longshore South fast-travel area.

Practical approach

The gig is useful for players testing stealth because the building offers guarded approaches, cameras and multiple ways to break line of sight.

Practical approach

  1. 01
    Travel to Longshore South.
  2. 02
    Locate the route into the casino area.
  3. 03
    Choose whether to deal with the entrance quietly or fight through the Tyger Claws.
  4. 04
    Search the office area for the relevant target and loot the credchip.
  5. 05
    Leave the property and complete the hand-off at the designated drop point.

Until Death Do Us Part

Type: Thievery Giver: Wakako Okada Target: Emilio Gutierrez’s depository-receipts shard Location: Palm Street apartment Main opposition: Security drones and cameras

The job takes place in a high-rise apartment accessed conveniently from Luxury Apartments. The target shard is on a desk in an office near the upper part of the building.

Walkthrough

The published guides give different attribute descriptions for some entry options, reflecting game version and guide wording. The reliable practical lesson is that the job supports several routes and does not require a single mandatory attribute path.

Walkthrough

  1. 01
    Travel to Luxury Apartments.
  2. 02
    Enter the marked apartment building and take the lift towards the target floor.
  3. 03
    Use the available entry method:
  4. 04
    open a door through the required Technical Ability check;
  5. 05
    use the exterior route through the window and roof;
  6. 06
    or drop to the penthouse balcony and enter through the broken window.
  7. 07
    Disable or bypass cameras and drones.
  8. 08
    Reach the office and take the shard from the desk.
  9. 09
    Exit by the route that best suits your build.
  10. 10
    Deposit the shard at the marked drop point.

Family Heirloom

Type: Search and Recover Giver: Rogue Amendiares Location: Parking lot on Crockett Street Opposition: 6th Street, including Wyatt Alken Important reward: Johnny’s shoes, which are missable

Family Heirloom is the most significant Charter Hill gig for collectors. The target area is a 6th Street-held parking lot, and the job includes the opportunity to obtain Johnny’s shoes, an iconic piece of equipment. The reward is listed as missable, so search the mission area carefully before completing the objective and leaving.

Missable-item checklist

Because the item is tied to a mission space, returning later may not provide a reliable second opportunity.

---

Missable-item checklist: Before leaving Family Heirloom

  1. 01
    Search the objective area thoroughly.
  2. 02
    Check containers and bodies rather than relying only on the quest marker.
  3. 03
    Confirm that Johnny’s shoes have entered your inventory.
  4. 04
    Only then complete the hand-off and leave the area.

Common threats

Charter Hill’s danger comes less from random street battles and more from controlled encounter spaces:

Security hazards

A suppressed weapon, optical camouflage, distraction quickhacks and camera control are particularly useful. Netrunners should scan before crossing open courtyards, since a seemingly empty walkway may be covered by overlapping cameras.

Random and repeatable encounters

Enemy groups may reappear after time has passed or after the area has been reloaded. A repeated street fight should not automatically be treated as a unique named activity. The same applies to loot containers and random drops. Fixed mission rewards, such as Johnny’s shoes in Family Heirloom, should be separated from ordinary randomised loot.

---

Fixed notable item

The shoes are the only Charter Hill item with strong, directly documented missability in the consulted sources.

General loot

Exact rarity and contents can vary according to level scaling, game version and the player’s progression. Do not treat every legendary or rare item seen in a community video as a guaranteed fixed spawn unless the location and acquisition conditions have been independently verified.

Scanner activities

Regional map guides mark NCPD Scanner Hustles in Charter Hill, but the consulted evidence does not provide a complete, independently checked named directory for every scanner event and every associated cache. These activities should therefore be tracked from the in-game map rather than represented here as a claimed exhaustive list.

---

Charter Hill’s importance is primarily social and environmental. It illustrates the layer of Night City that sits between working-class districts and the most exclusive enclaves. Its residents have bought a measure of safety, but that safety depends on corporate infrastructure, private security and exclusionary access.

The neighbourhood was rebuilt during the city’s post-war reconstruction era and became associated with comfortable housing and corporate professionals. Later, North Oak gained the stronger reputation as Night City’s premier luxury district, leaving Charter Hill as a more attainable but still privileged alternative. This distinction is reflected in the game’s architecture and in the way the district is used for apartment, corporate and security-themed missions.

The wider Cyberpunk setting also treats Charter Hill as a longstanding corporate or executive area, although older tabletop maps and descriptions should not be assumed to match the 2077 game’s exact roads and boundaries. Different game continuities use different maps and spatial arrangements.

---

Is Metro: Charter Hill the same thing as Charter Hill?

No. Metro: Charter Hill is the station and fast-travel point. Charter Hill is the larger Westbrook subdistrict containing the station and several other locations.

Is Charter Hill part of Westbrook?

Yes. Westbrook contains Japantown, North Oak and Charter Hill in the 2077 game map.

Can I buy weapons at the station?

There is no evidence that the station itself functions as a weapon shop. The consulted Charter Hill vendor directory lists no weapon vendor for the subdistrict.

Where is the nearest ripperdoc?

Kraviz’s Clinic is the verified Charter Hill ripperdoc.

Which Charter Hill mission contains Johnny’s shoes?

Family Heirloom. The shoes are listed as a missable item in the Crockett Street parking-lot gig.

Who controls Charter Hill?

No single faction controls the whole subdistrict. Tyger Claws, 6th Street and corporate security appear in different locations and mission spaces.

Does the station have a unique boss or collectible?

No unique boss or station-specific collectible is established by the consulted evidence. Its main purpose is transport and navigation.

---

The following points remain unresolved or unsuitable for a claim of absolute completeness:

For reliable play, use Metro: Charter Hill as the transport anchor, then treat the six named fast-travel points and three documented gigs as the core verified structure of the wider subdistrict.
