Arid Nexus Boneyard
Run over any Hyperion Engineers that attack, and keep your guns pointed at the sky to kill the skrakk.
Four parts spiderant, four parts rakk, and four parts skag: Dr. Zed presents the skrakk! The abominations have gotten loose over Arid Nexus Boneyard, and Dr. Zed needs you to hunt them down before anyone sees what he’s created. Use the Fast Travel station to return to Arid Nexus Boneyard (or drive across the bridge from Eridium Blight) and deploy a Light Runner from the Catch-a-Ride. Drive east across the Boneyard toward Eridium Pump Station 2, and keep your eyes to the sky. Open fire on the skrakk with the vehicle’s machine guns, and blast these griffin-like beasts out of the air before they can attack with their four claws and beak. Spin around in circles with the vehicle and resist the urge to move to the turret, as it’s too important to keep the vehicle on the move.
The skrakk were certainly a problem that could not be released upon the world, but they were not Dr. Zed’s only experimental atrocity. Use the Fast Travel station to make your way to Frostburn Canyon and proceed in a counter-clockwise loop to Frozen Ant Lake. From there, take the left-hand path and climb the scaffolding up the side of the cliff to the icy plateau above. There, you encounter a creature by the name of Spycho.
Spycho is no ordinary spiderant, but it fortunately has the same vulnerabilities of one—namely, its butt! Enlist the help of any nearby Goliaths by shooting off their helmets, then maneuver yourself around the side of Spycho to get a clean shot at its vulnerable region. Lay waste to Spycho with Explosive or Fire-based weaponry, then return to Dr. Zed to collect your reward.
Spycho can be tamed just like any other spiderant.
