Discover the exact location and sequence to trigger the Patricia Tannis cutout easter egg in Borderlands 4, and unlock the 'Cut That Out' trophy/achievement. Follow our step-by-step guide!

Alright, so you're looking to snag that 'Cut That Out' trophy in Borderlands 4? It's tied to a pretty cool little easter egg involving Patricia Tannis. Don't worry, it's not too far into the game, and I'll walk you through exactly where to go and what to do. Pro-tip: Having a single-shot weapon, like a Jakobs, will make this a bit easier, so keep that in mind!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Where you start: Head back to the Crimson Resistance HQ, the very first place you meet Claptrap.
  2. 2
    Getting there: From the HQ, make your way west/southwest towards the beachfront. Just keep following the coast to your left, heading west, and then start turning north. You're aiming for the northwestern part of the Coastal Bonescape area.
  3. 3
    Getting closer: You'll eventually stumble upon a place called Sandytoes Villa. That's your cue to keep pushing north. Keep an eye out for a structure with some big turrets on it – that's your landmark. This should signal that you're entering an area called The Howl.
  4. 4
    The spot: The exact location is that tower and a small gazebo right next to it. Before you do anything else, make sure you clear out any enemies hanging around this spot. Oh, and super important: do not shoot those elemental barrels scattered around – they're key to this whole thing!
  5. 5
    The sequence: There are five elemental barrels in total. You need to shoot them in a very specific order, and only shoot each one *once* to let it fully explode before moving to the next. Here's the order:
    1. Corrosive
  6. 6
    Cryo
  7. 7
    Fire
  8. 8
    Shock
  9. 9
    Radiation
  • If you mess up: Seriously, if you miss a step or shoot them in the wrong order, the game will notice. Your best bet is to quit out of the game entirely and reload. Then, you'll need to come back to this spot and try the sequence again from scratch.
  • The payoff: Once you nail the sequence, a big cardboard cutout of Patricia Tannis will pop out of the water! You'll also hear some special music kick in. Just hang out there until the little scene finishes, and bam – the trophy/achievement should pop!
    • Tips
    • Make sure you have a single-shot weapon equipped before you start heading out. It helps ensure you only hit each barrel once.
    • Don't destroy the elemental barrels until you're ready to start the sequence.
    • Listen for the distinct music that plays after you complete the sequence correctly.
    • If you're having trouble finding the exact spot, look for the tower and gazebo structure in the northwestern part of the Coastal Bonescape.
