BORDERLANDS
DAHL HEADLANDS

Getting Lucky
Ernest Whitting
LVL 18 :: $1,922 :: 2,400 EXP
REWARD: Grenade Mod

Lucky’s place is just down from the entrance from Arid Badlands. Eliminate the 15 bandits and then free Lucky from his cell in the main small building. He’s in there sitting on the toilet.

Powering The Fast Travel Network
Lucky Zaford
LVL 20 :: $2,411 :: 2,376 EXP
 

This is one of the most worthwhile missions to do in the entire game. First you need to activate the 2 towers. Using the rocks and metal planks around the tower jump up and hit the buttons. Then drive yourself to the back left corner of the map and kill all the bandits. Climb the stairs and activate the main control panel. Now you can warp from any New U station to any other New U station you’ve already been to. Makes travel so much easier.

Road Warriors: Hot Shots
Lucky Zaford
LVL 18 :: $1,922 :: 2,400 EXP
 

Grab a vehicle and just drive around the small lake area just outside of Lucky’s Place. As Bandit Runners spawn take them out. The secret is to keep moving and don’t be afraid to pull back to Lucky’s Place if your vehicle gets nerfed up too bad.

Road Warriors: Bandit Apocalypse
Lucky Zaford
LVL 20 :: $9,646 :: 10,560 EXP
REWARD: Weapon Slot

This mission is to kill Mad Mel and it unlocks New Haven so you have to do it. The problem is this boss battle is about the most retarded thing I have ever seen in my life. It’s supposed to be a vehicle on vehicle battle but Mad Mel will rip you to little bitty pieces in no time flat. The way to beat him is to drive into the center area and take out all the bandits until Mad Mel spawns. Now you are most likely going to die. When you respawn DON’T go into the arena. Just sit on the lip and pick him off from a distance. It will take a good amount of time but you’ll stay alive. Once Mad Mel is down head through the open gate and talk to the Claptrap to gain access to New Haven.

Big Game Hunter
Ernest Whitting
LVL 20 :: $4,823 :: 5,280 EXP
REWARD: Sniper Rifle

Skagzilla. This guy is a BEAST. Literally. Be sure to be on full ammo before you start this. First head to the small outpost where the bait is being held. Kill everyone and then grab the skag. The entrance to the Skagzilla arena is right by the big jump in the Dahl Headlands. Just take the small metal walkway and drop into the arena. Then place the bait and Skagzilla will appears. Constantly be jumping out of the way and try to time your jump to match when Skagzilla lands to reduce damage. Go for body shots whenever possible and eventually he’ll go down.

Fuel Feud
Lucky’s Bounty Board
LVL 18 :: $3,844 :: 4,800 EXP
REWARD: Grenade Mod

Pretty straightforward mission to destroy 3 fuel dumps around the area. Most can be hit from well outside the bases if you want to avoid combat. But killing equals EXP so I’d go in and just eliminate everyone.

Well There’s Your Problem Right There
Lucky’s Bounty Board
LVL 18 :: $7,689 :: 6,000 EXP
 

Just head over to the sewage plant and kill everyone. Then head to the back section and you just need to shoot the two pipes to clear the blockage and let the sewage flow again.

Ghosts Of The Vault
Lucky’s Bounty Board
LVL 20 :: $2,893 :: 5,280 EXP
REWARD: Explosive Artifact

It’s always nice to get a mission where they are going to pay us to go and steal an artifact from them. Just fight your way through all the enemies and grab the artifact. The mission turns in right when you get the artifact. Don’t forget to apply it!

Scavenger: Revolver
Lucky’s Bounty Board
LVL 20 :: $0 :: 3,036 EXP
REWARD: Revolver

Third scavenger mission. This one is in a cleared out area so there isn’t even anyone to kill. Just watch the video to learn the locations of all the parts.

Death Race Pandora
Lucky’s Bounty Board
LVL 20 :: $4,099 :: 5,280 EXP
REWARD: Launcher

Do they get any easier then this? Just drive around this track and run over 50 sythids. Can’t get any easier.
ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY OPPORTUNITY: Speedy McSpeederton, Raced around the Ludicrous Speedway in record time.
Watch the video to see my path for getting the achievement if you need help.
