Everyone has something they want to do, feel they need to do, or a goal they want to reach. For Gigi, a unique character in Borderlands 4, her goal is to find out if she can explode — to see if she’s more than just a dud.
Don’t worry too much about Gigi at first. She’s actually a sentient missile computer. Things went wrong a while ago, and unlike other missiles, she didn’t explode. She’s looking for a friend and some guidance. Luckily, a Vault Hunter drops into Kairos who can understand her and help her achieve her goal.
How to Start the “Ready to Blow” Mission
This side mission begins by interacting with an Echo Log on the counter inside the store area in The Launchpad faction town. Completing this gives you access to the safe house and your first Digistruct vehicle, which makes traveling much easier. To unlock it, finish the “Down And Outbound” quest.
After listening to Gigi’s message, travel all the way to the southeastern side of Kairos, specifically to the Idolator’s Noose region, then to a small town southeast of the Watershed Gate.
In the middle of this town, you’ll find Gigi, a missile computer inside a broken missile. You can talk to her to start progressing in the quest. Head up the stairs to the shop on the hill and speak with Scrapper Orts to get the missile launch system — the first part Gigi needs.
How to Find the Missile Components
Take the broken wooden bridge southwest and use your Grapple on nearby points along the walls for a shortcut. Use your Grapple to rip the door off a vent nearby — inside, you’ll find the first missile component.
Next, grapple up to the next ridge where much of the wreckage is. Defeat the Manglers that attack you. The second component is on the back of a huge engine; press the highlighted button on the console below it, and the component will drop onto the ground.
The third component is in the wreckage area but further up the nearby ledge and around the corner. When approaching the debris, several Manglers will spawn, including a Badass Mangler. Defeating this enemy is essential, as he will drop the last missile part.
How to Build Gigi’s New Missile
Return to Gigi and speak with her again. Pick her up and head north toward the Deep Seven Silo near the town. Bring her to the ridge to the left of it, where you’ll find a large tree trunk next to some ammo crates and a console to place Gigi.
Be aware that the area might be filled with Order enemies or Manglers unless you recently cleared it out. You can put Gigi down to fight and then pick her up again without losing progress.
Place the launch system on the table against the tree trunk, and use the three missile components to assemble the missile on the circular platform. Then, put Gigi into the empty part of the missile.
As soon as you activate the launch sequence, the Order forces will attack. They’ll come in waves, with the first three waves including at least one Badass Armature. The remaining enemies will be regular Order foes like Wardens, Witnesses, and Engines.
Once all enemies are defeated, launch the missile to complete the mission. As a reward for helping Gigi, you’ll earn experience points, 2,000 cash, an Uncommon or Epic shield, some Eridium, and the Taste Munitions style for your Vault Hunter and Echo.
