Your step-by-step guide to completing the 'Invasion of Privacy' side mission in Borderlands 3 on Athenas, including finding Ava's belongings and dealing with Private Beans.

Alright, let's tackle this 'Invasion of Privacy' side mission on Athenas. It's a bit of a scavenger hunt for Ava's stuff, so stick with me and we'll get it done quick.

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    Go to Athenas / Retrieve Stuff: First things first, teleport to Athenas. Make your way to the first waypoint. You'll need to pick up an Ancient Instrument and a Bonsai Tree. They're both just lying around on the floor, so grab 'em.

  2. 2

    Retrieve More of Ava’s Stuff: Keep moving forward to the next waypoint. Here, you'll find three more of Ava's items: her pet bowl, a limited edition video game controller, and the video game console itself. Collect all three.

  3. 3

    Get Diary: Once you've snagged all of Ava's belongings, she'll tell you she needs her diary. Head to the next waypoint. You'll find a box; just open it up to move on to the next part of the mission.

  4. 4

    Find Beans: Turns out Ava's diary has been stolen, and we need to find this guy named Beans to get it back. Go to the waypoint and look around. You'll find a ripped page from the diary on a chair. Pick it up.

  5. 5

    Seriously, Find Beans: Keep following the waypoints. The next one will lead you to a table where you'll find another ripped page from Ava's diary. Grab this embarrassing page.

  6. 6

    Not kidding, find Beans, it’s super important: Almost there! Head to the final waypoint for the diary pages. You'll find the last page on a table. This is the same area where you might have done the 'Holy Spirits' side mission before, so it might look familiar.

  7. 7

    Kill Beans: Now it's time to confront Beans. Head to the waypoint. Before you go straight for him, it's a good idea to clear out the other enemies in the area first. It'll make your fight with Beans much easier. Once the area is clear, take down Private Beans. After he's dead, look around the back of the area to find a key. Grab it, then head to the next waypoint to open a chest for your reward.

  8. 8

    Return to Sanctuary: With all of Ava's stuff and the diary pages collected, and Beans dealt with, it's time to head back. Teleport to Sanctuary and go to Ava's room. Place all the items you collected back in her room. Once everything's put away, speak with Ava to complete the 'Invasion of Privacy' mission.

Tips
  • When you go to fight Beans, taking out the other enemies first will make the encounter much smoother. Don't rush straight for him if there are a lot of adds.
  • Make sure you grab all of Ava's items and the diary pages; they're all clearly marked with waypoints.
