Thousand Cuts

A Hyperion supply drop made its way to the center of Thousand Cuts, smack dab in the middle of Slab Town, and Brick wants you to help defend it. Leave Rocko near the Fast Travel station, and make your way to the heart of Slab Town to pick up the three Bandit Beacons. These beacons help coordinate the Slab defenses by signaling certain unit types to different areas.

Each beacon has a corresponding unit type, and Brick wants you to place them in a specific, strategic pattern. Start by placing the Psycho beacon near the supply crate, then the Marauder beacon close by, and then the third beacon out near Bloody Knuckle Point. This final beacon calls upon Goliaths as the front line. Climb the ramp to the turret overlooking the Goliath beacon you just placed, and open fire on the Hyperion Loaders as they are deployed. Numerous Loaders of all types soon try to push their way into town from Bloody Knuckle Point, in an attempt to take back the supply drop. Target the helmets of the Goliaths with the turret to spur them into a rage. Continue firing on the Loaders with the turret until either the turret is destroyed or you are forced to flee from the charging Goliaths.

Vacate the turret, and head across the bridge to the east to aid the Marauders and Psychos in the defense of the supply drop. Use your best Corrosive weapons and shoot any and every Loader you spot. The Goliaths will most certainly be dead by now. Numerous RPG Loaders and WAR Loaders join the procession toward the supply crate, but you can use their devotion to the task at hand against them by moving in from behind for a series of easy kills. Put up a final defense against any Badass Loaders that attack to protect the supply drop for Brick and the other Slabs.

The Loaders march steadily toward the supply crate, leaving you free to attack from behind!
