Hammerlocked

Complete the Hammerlocked mission in borderlands 3. Find Wainwright on Eden-6 and navigate The Anvil.

Once you regain control, speak to Lilith, then listen to Hammerlock’s dilemma. Your task is to land on Eden-6 and meet with Wainwright. Make your way to the Drop Pod to reach the surface.

Floodmoor Basin is one of the largest zones in borderlands 3 and a place you will revisit often on Eden-6. It is recommended to work on Crew Challenges and Zone Completion tasks for Floodmoor Basin while you are here. The map shows Floodmoor Basin is a massive area. Head forward and drop down to the ground, then grab a vehicle, as you will want one for most of your time on Eden-6.

Jump off the ramp at the bottom of Knotty’s Peak to reach this Hijack Vehicle.

Follow the road west. At the fork, take the eastern path around. When the road splits again and heads east, look west to spot a ramp. Boosting off this ramp allows you to land on a ledge high up with a Hijack Target. A little further north, west of the ramp, you’ll find a Typhon Log overlooking the swamp. Regardless, head up the long path east of the ramp and leave your vehicle when the road ends.

As you continue up the peak, you will encounter COVs. Take them out, then deal with a final group of Psychos and Fanatics at the top. Follow the battle to meet Wainwright, the current head of Jakobs.

Hammerlock is in a prison called The Anvil, and your first task is reaching him. Knotty’s Peak has a Fast Travel station and its central location makes it a useful base of operations on Eden-6. Use the Vending Machines to restock, then take the lift down in the corner to reach a Catch-A-Ride and grab a vehicle with a missile launcher to break through the barricade.

The Anvil is northwest of Knotty Peak. Consider completing side missions like “Don’t Truck with Eden-6” and “Get Quick, Slick” before heading there. Once you cross the large bridge and reach The Anvil’s gates, detour west. In this area, you’ll find another Typhon Log, the Legendary Hunt, and an Eridian Writing. Chonk Stomp has a chance to drop a Legendary Shotgun, [The Garcia]. After defeating Chonk Stomp, find a Red Chest in his den.

This Named Location can be hard to register; hug the wall here to trigger it.

Once you reach The Anvil, check your map for new Crew Challenges and Zone Completion tasks. Your contact is ahead, but first, you must take out a large group of COVs. Use the many barrels scattered around and the cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) to hide behind. Once the area is clear, find an Eridian Writing to the west and the first Typhon Log nearby on top of a building; climb from the back. To press on, climb the crates to the left of the gate to reach and flip the switch.

Once you are introduced to Brick, you will be swarmed by COV. Brick is a powerful ally and will make the battle easier. Focus on survival and work your way up the hill to the top of the compound. After killing the initial group, deal with reinforcements, including several Badasses. Once the coast is clear, head to Brick to gain entry to the area beyond. Before that, head down the path to the southwest to reach West of Gross, where another Typhon Log awaits.

Take a detour to the west to find this Log.

Inside the compound, head forward and defeat the COV at the door. The largest threats are Badass Psychos and Tinks; keep your distance and make full use of your Action Skills. Once the area is clear, head through the door west of your entrance to find a Dead Claptrap.

Follow Brick forward and loot containers to restock ammo. Ahead, you will face a large battle with many COVs. Watch the upper walkways, as COVs often hide in cover there. Rotate between the ground floor and upper walkways as you eliminate them. Beware of the Badass Enforcer that attacks at the end; you must strip its armor before damaging it directly. Once the coast is clear, follow Brick to the upper walkway and proceed to meet Crunk Bunny.

After meeting Tina, use the nearby Vending Machines, then head out the eastern door and look south to spot a ladder leading down to the Dead Drop. Climb out of this room and head forward to The Yard, where you will encounter another large group of COV. After dispatching the initial group, head northwest of the yard to find a large stack of containers and another group of COV. Once the area is clear, look for yellow paint on a container and begin climbing to reach the Crimson Radio at the top.

Before following the objective and heading into Central Security, consider completing other tasks.
