Follow this Borderlands 3 guide to complete the Bad Vibrations side mission. Learn where to find beacons, place explosives, and clear steam vents to progress.
Alright, let's get this Bad Vibrations mission sorted out. It's a pretty straightforward one, mostly about placing some gear and then following the path. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.
Walkthrough
- 1Grab the Gear: First things first, you'll need to pick up the mission items. Head to the table and grab the beacons and the explosives. They should be right there for you.
- 2Place the Beacons: Now, you'll see two waypoints pop up on your map. Head to the first one and place one of the beacons. Then, make your way to the next two waypoints and place the remaining beacons. Just follow the map markers, it's pretty clear where they need to go.
- 3Open the Path: With the beacons all set, you'll get a new waypoint. Head there and you'll find a spot glowing green on the outside of a wall. Place the explosives on this glowing spot. Boom! It'll blow a hole right through the wall, opening up the path into what's called 'The Chancellor's Throat'.
- 4Clear the Steam Vent: After you drop down and clear out any enemies that get in your way, you'll eventually find the epicenter. Once any dialogue is done, you'll see a broken pillar. Place the last two explosives on this pillar. This will blow open a steam vent.
- 5Ride the Jet and Report Back: Step onto the steam jet that just opened up. It'll lift you all the way up to Quietus Peak. If you look around, there's a Red Chest up on a platform to the back of the room. You can grab it by jumping back into the steam and hovering over. Once you're done exploring, head back to Grouse and talk to him to finish up the mission.
Tips
- Keep an eye out for enemies after you blow the hole in the wall; they like to show up unannounced.
- Don't miss the Red Chest on Quietus Peak! It's a nice little bonus for your trouble.
