Gateway Harbor
Unlike the other missions available in Liar’s Berg, this one takes a bit of discovery. Fortunately for you, the ECHO Recorder needed to initiate this mission drops from a group of enemies that you’re practically guaranteed to encounter. Descend the hill from Liar’s Berg to Gateway Harbor and spot the bandits milling about near the huts on the right. Put the explosive gas tanks and any elemental barrels in the area to use, and kill any and all enemies in the area. Pay extra attention to where the Marauder or Psycho is when you kill it, as either of these enemies drops the ECHO Recorder needed for you to begin the mission.
Once accepted, Sir Hammerlock asks you to try to find the three missing audio logs revealing the story of Helena Pierce’s disappearance. You can only find these three ECHO Recorders in order—a waypoint appears on the minimap to help guide you to the correct location. If you had any question as to the type of man Handsome Jack truly is, these audio recordings soon put any doubts to rest.
The first ECHO Recorder is located in a Hyperion dumpster behind the fence on the south side of Liar’s Berg, stationed between the vending machine and the Hammerlock’s house. There’s a wooden barrel on it. Smash the lock on the door to open the dumpster and find the ECHO Recorder.
The second ECHO Recorder is located on the roof of Hammerlock’s house. Climb the ladder and jump up to the upper portion of the roof. Smash the icy debris pile to break loose the hidden ECHO Recorder. The audio log may fall to the ground, so look for the blue streak of light and waypoint on the ground if it’s not there on the roof after you smash the junk.
The final ECHO Recorder is in the ice machine to the right of the motel in Liar’s Berg. Open the sliding door to find it. This final audio log reveals exactly how cruel and heartless Handsome Jack truly is, as if the previous two recordings still left any doubt.
