Borderlands 3: Complete Transaction-Packed Mission

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's dive into the 'Transaction-Packed' side mission on Desolation's Edge. This one's a bit... meta. You'll be picking up an ECHO cartridge and chatting with a hologram to get things rolling.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, grab that ECHO Cartridge from the floor. Then, you'll need to speak with the hologram to officially start the mission.
2
After the intro dialogue, head to the waypoint. Your job is to find the first portal hotspot and then chat with a guy named Mickey to kick off the in-game sequence.
3
Now, you'll need to follow and protect Lana. Enemies will pop up, so keep them off her. Eventually, the game will present you with a choice to buy a microtransaction. Shoot the green one to speed things up a bit. Keep following Lana until you hit a portal and shoot it to move on.
4
Continue protecting Lana and taking out any threats. You'll get another prompt to buy a microtransaction – grab the next one to help you reach the subsequent portal faster. Deal with any more enemies bothering Lana, then shoot the second portal.
5
After destroying the second portal, keep protecting Lana. Another microtransaction opportunity will pop up; purchase it. Continue following Lana and destroy the third portal.
6
With the third portal down, speak with Mickey again. Then, head to the new waypoint to start the second phase of this... game within a game.
7
At the second hotspot, talk to Mickey again. He'll have you climb up some pillars in the middle of the room to find an energy source. Interact with it to progress.
8
Here's where it gets interesting. You need to gather 100 energy sources. An optional objective pops up: purchase a non-predatory upgrade. You can buy a microtransaction that gives you 90 energy sources, meaning you only need to find 10 more.
9
Once you've got all 100 Energy Sources, head back to Lana and give them to her. After that, wait for the prompt to destroy the fourth portal.
10
After destroying the fourth portal, speak with Mickey one last time, then head to the waypoint to find the final hotspot.
11
At the final hotspot, Mickey will appear again, and then Rak’nagob, Destroyer of Worlds, will spawn. You'll get another prompt to buy a microtransaction to make the boss fight easier. Shoot the green option to significantly reduce his health and take him down.
12
Finally, destroy Rak’nagob's portal and speak with Mickey one last time to wrap up the mission.

Tips

Pay attention to the prompts for microtransactions – they can genuinely speed up certain parts of the mission, especially the energy source collection and the boss fight.
Keep an eye on Lana's health and be ready to defend her from incoming enemies.
The 'Transaction-Packed' mission is quite satirical, so lean into the absurdity of it all!
