Acquiring Lucian’s Flank in Borderlands 4

Saddleback, one half of the Meathead Riders duo at Old Scrape Drill Site, serves as the primary source for this weapon. Located in Cuspid Climb’s southern sector near Fadefields, this arena requires players to clear initial adversaries before confronting the dual bosses. Repeated attempts can be made using the on-site Moxxi machine, which accepts currency or Eridium for fight resets.
