Need help with the Last Requests side mission in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel? Follow our step-by-step guide to find Captain Thorson's body, transmit his ECHO, and take down Squat and Nel.

Alright, so you've just finished up with Deadlift and you're looking for a little something extra to do? The 'Last Requests' side mission is a good one to pick up. You'll find it available right after you deal with Deadlift. Just head back out into that lava-infested area, and make your way to the southeast corner of the map. Look for a dead body – that's your starting point.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, interact with the body. You'll find an ECHO log from a guy named Captain Thorson. His first request is pretty straightforward: you need to transmit his ECHO so Zarpedon knows he's kicked the bucket.
  2. 2
    Head towards the waypoint that pops up. You'll need to do some platform hopping over the lava, so be ready for that. Once you get to the building, clear out any Scavs hanging around.
  3. 3
    The transmitter you need is on the roof. To get up there, use the container located on the west side of the building. Interact with the transmitter.
  4. 4
    After that, Thorson's got another job for you: take down Deadlift's lieutenant, Squat. He's usually chilling just north of the building. Don't worry too much, he's basically just a beefed-up Scav.
  5. 5
    Once Squat is down, Thorson's final request is to find Nel. He's located pretty close to where Squat was. Just walk up to Nel and, uh, press the button to call him a dick. Yep, that's literally it.
  6. 6
    With all of Thorson's requests fulfilled, he'll thank you, but since he's, you know, dead, he can't exactly give you a reward. Zarpedon will chime in, though, telling you to head to some coordinates for your actual prize.
  7. 7
    Use one of the jump pads nearby to reach the ledge of a tall tower. Inside a container on that ledge, you'll find a chest. Open it up to finish the mission!
Tips
  • Keep an eye on your ammo when dealing with the Scavs, especially if you're low after the Deadlift fight.
  • The platforming over the lava can be a bit tricky, so take your time and don't rush your jumps.
  • Don't expect a huge amount of XP or cash from this one, but the skin customization is a nice little bonus.
