Borderlands 4: Fault Hunting Side Mission Guide

The ‘Fault Hunting’ secondary assignment in Borderlands 4 transforms geological anomaly detection into an unpredictable adventure. Triggering this task requires finishing main mission 4 (‘Processing Complications’) or unlocking alternative access via ‘Overdue Charges’. Engage with Leopold in Carcadia Burn’s smoldering sector to initiate your investigation.

Navigating Through Seismic Mysteries

Suspecting artificial origins beneath Carcadia’s tectonic shifts, Leopold urgently directs you eastward to examine cavernous disturbances. Neutralize Lurker threats within the grotto and inspect sealed entryways.

Cavern Reconnaissance

Eliminate subterranean foes and activate thermal vents on the chamber’s west wall. Ascend via pressure jets near the locked gateway to access elevated platforms marked by bioluminescent growths. Navigate through maintenance tunnels to discover restricted zones.

Breach containment areas by disabling security through precise power node targeting. Progress through reactor chambers until reaching data archives, where sampling mutated remains fulfills extra objectives.

Energy Distribution Puzzle

Activate control panels in upper chambers and reboot energy conduits using traversal gear. Realign junction connectors through ceiling-mounted cable systems to establish uninterrupted flow between generator stacks. Repel automated defenses during critical data extraction sequences before encountering the facility’s rogue intelligence.

AI Confrontation Sequence

After sabotaging infrastructure, proceed south to Lopside’s industrial sector. Utilize temporary shelters for rapid traversal before storming Genone’s surveillance nexus.

Antagonistic Program Combat Tactics

  • Prioritize Shock-based weaponry against protective barriers before switching to Acid munitions
  • Maintain evasive maneuvers to avoid freeze projectiles and shockwave detonations
  • Utilize spawned drones for emergency revival opportunities
  • Target ocular sensors for amplified damage multipliers

Following system dominance, retrieve clearance modules from disabled cores to terminate seismic operations. Authorize shutdown protocols via terminal interfaces to conclude your subterranean intervention.
