Strategy
First things first, grab Janey's scrambler. You'll need to head over to the Stingray garage in Triton Flats. Watch out, there are some Scavs guarding it, so clear them out. The garage door is locked, but Janey's got the password: 8008. Once you're in, use the scrambler on the console to upload the blueprints and digistruct yourself a Stingray. Use that booster to jump over the lava fault and head into Outlands Canyon.
Getting to the Fast Travel station on the other side means pushing through Research Facility and Bogan's Warren, which are crawling with Torks and Scavs. Keep pushing, and you'll find Pickle in Fingersmith Hall. There's an Air Dome generator and all the vending machines you could want there, so stock up.
After you pass through the travel gate into Outlands Spur, you'll run into a bunch of Scavs and Raiders in a camp. Deal with them, then follow the pipeline north through a field full of Kraggons.
At the Processing Plant in Outlands Spur, take out any Scavs outside before heading in to face more Scavs and Lunatics. Once it's clear, you'll need to cross a bridge to Drakensburg. When the bridge retracts, you'll try to use a command console to extend it, but it won't work. Pickle's next idea is to dump liquid methane onto the lava to make an ice bridge. That doesn't work either, so Pickle sends you to the Pumping Station to get the methane flowing again.
The Pumping Station is crawling with enemies, including turrets, Scavs, Badass Outlaws, and Badass Scavs. Once you clear them out, head to the top level and use the command console to restore the methane flow.
On your way back and at the Height's Perch Camp, you'll have to fight off Kraggons and some stolen Dahl Jetfighters. Find the command console on the swingarm to redirect the methane flow. There's a secret chest nearby, hidden under the stairs leading to the methane dumping valve. You can access it after the 'Activate pumping station' objective is done. Just look through the glass floor in the bridge control room to see it. Be warned, the Bosun will yell at you when you open it!
Back at the Processing Plant, open a valve to dump methane onto the lava. Once it freezes over, cross your new ice bridge to Drakensburg. A Badass Kraggon will pop out of the ice, but just keep moving to dodge its attacks and take it down. Then, head through the travel gate into Pity's Fall.
Drakensburg's gate is defended by Scavs and laser turrets. Restock your ammo at the vending machines just past the entrance. The Core Systems and the path to the Command Center are heavily guarded by Scavs. As you try to head through the door to the...
