Side Mission Guide & Walkthrough

Hayter’s Folly

Just Desserts for Desert Deserters
XP: 15780
Money: $674
Gear: Shotgun

Pick this up from the Wurmwater job board at the start of Chapter 4 and Scarlett will want you to kill Benny the Booster. Make your way south in Oasis to the Deserter Camp marked by the way point and then continue through the settlement via the upper level until you run into Benny. Take him down once you do, and then you will need to kill the Deckhand. The Deckhand can be found in Hayter’s Folly, so make your way there through the Coastal Caverns. Head to Sandman’s Overlook by taking the lift in the central part of the cave and clear out the enemies until the Deckhand shows up.

Once he does, kill him and you will then be off to find Toothless Terry. Once you reach Wurmwater go east to the Rustyard Corridor and then enter the Rustyards at the far rear. Enter the Rusty Cog Settlement at the far end and take the upper level to the container that you can cross. Continue forward through the next set of buildings and Terry will be at the far end. Kill him and then head to the right of the area for the next side mission.

Message in a Bottle 4
XP: 789
Money: $2,696
Gear: Relic

Go to the right of where you found Toothless Terry and you will come to Coobie Gorge. Follow the path to the end and there will be a metal gate that will open as some Anchormen come through. Once inside go to the shelter in the far right corner and there will be a doll inside to squeeze. To find the bottle, look behind the shelter and crawl your way behind it to get the bottle there. Once you have it, go to the far south end and cross the long bridge. Enter the Dreg Scrapyard and go to the right where there will be some stairs. Look under the stairs to find the X there and dig up the goods.

Catch a Ride, and also Tetnus
XP: 3945
Money: $2,696
Gear: None

For this mission, you will need to return to the Rustyard and pick up 5 different items for Scooter. None of the items are difficult to find, it’s just more annoying than anything that you need to go all the way through the entire Rustyard area to get them all. Follow the map waypoint markers from one to the next and each will be right out in the open, easy to find. Once you have them all, return to the job board to turn the mission in.

Faster than the Speed of Love
XP: 3945
Money: $1,348
Gear: None

Once you have the compass pieces, this mission will become available on the job board. Once you accept it, hop in your skiff and drive to the first waypoint. You will need to hit 6 of them with a minute and a half and it can get a little tight if you don’t use your boost when it’s available. Other than that, it is a pretty straight forward time trial race. Ignore the enemies and just go for the markers and you’ll complete it easily. Return to the job board and talk to Scoo…er…Natalie to complete the mission.

Washburne Refinery

I know it when I see it
XP: 3945
Money: $1,348
Gear: None

Once inside the refinery, find C3n50r807 (Censorbot) by following the yellow exclamation mark. Once you talk to him, he will ask you to find a robot called P3RV-E. Make your way through the plant to the Lair of the Lecher-bot and you will find it roaming around there. Take the mini-bot out and once down, you will need to collect the 5 stacks of porno mags that are scattered around the area. Grab them and then head back to the Censorbot to turn in the quest.

Don’t Copy That Floppy
XP: 7890
Money: $674
Gear: Sniper Rifle

Once again, for this mission you will need to roam around and collect 5 different items—in this case floppy discs—from the pirates in Wurmwater. Make your way there via fast travel and then drive down to the Washburne Fen. Once there, follow the path through the settlement to the large open area with Sand Worms. Go to the far north corner and climb the ladder there to get on the walkway and continue towards the map marker until you reach The Dish. Once there, just kill the pirates as they appear and they will eventually start to drop the floppy discs. Grab 5 and then return to the Censorbot to turn in the quest.

Freedom of Speech
XP: 7890
Money: $0
Gear: Grenade/ Rocket Launcher

Once you have all the compass pieces, you can return to the Censorbot and he will tell you that a DJ is planning to play and he want you to kill him. Make your way to Magnys Lighthouse and go all the way to the rear of the area to AM-FM isle. Kill DJ Tanner when he runs out to fight you and then you will need to climb up his shack to find his equipment. Give it a punch when you reach it and then hike aaaaaaall the way back to the fast travel station to return to Censorbot to turn in the quest.

Magnys Lighthouse

Message in a Bottle 5
XP: 789
Money: $2,696
Gear: Grenade

When you reach the Spire Town Dock, make your way north and then to the west. Circle around to the east and then climb down the long ladder when you reach it just before the yellow exclamation mark on the map. Look for the bottle to the right of the vehicle buried there. Once you have it, continue to the top of the Magnys Lighthouse. Once you reach the top of it, hop on the ledge and then take a peek down towards the south side. On top of a grassy hill there, you will see the X there. Jump down and land on it to finally be able to reach it.
